Rosie O’Donnell excludes troubled daughter Chelsea from million-dollar estate and she gives up her surname

Article arrow_drop_down

Rosie O’Donnell has made the bold move of formally excluding her daughter Chelsea from her estate, a decision that has brought a decades-long strained relationship to a breaking point.

According to newly revealed documents, O’Donnell amended her estate plans on January 6, 2025, to remove Chelsea from two separate trusts, effectively cutting her off from any share of her estimated $80 million fortune.

This revelation came shortly before Rosie left the United States for Ireland, reportedly in protest of Donald Trump’s re-election. In turn, Chelsea, 27, took legal action of her own-petitioning to change her surname to Neuens, the maiden name of her birth mother, Deanna Micoley.

“Chelsea really didn’t care that Rosie wrote her out,” a source told DailyMail.com. “I mean, who wouldn’t want to have access to millions? But for Chelsea, it is not about the money, it’s about feeling wanted and loved. And that’s something she feels she has never really had from Rosie.”

Legal battles and the cost of fame

Chelsea, one of five children adopted by Rosie, has faced a series of personal and legal issues in recent years.

She is currently living in a sober house in Marinette, Wisconsin, and was sentenced to six years probation on March 31 after pleading guilty to various felony and misdemeanor charges, including child neglect and drug-related offenses. A violation of her probation could result in years behind bars.

In response to inquiries about her daughter, Rosie directed attention to a 30-verse poem she shared via Substack titled “my child chelsea.”

While she didn’t mention finances in the poem, she did reflect on the name change. “She wishes to change her last name to her birth mom’s maiden name… doesn’t make sense to me. I am not her,” Rosie wrote.

Trust documents obtained by the press reveal the exclusion was thorough: “The terms ‘child of the donor,’ ‘issue of the donor,’ and any term of like import shall not include Chelsea or any issue of Chelsea.” This not only bars Chelsea from inheritance but also her children.

The documents also show that Rosie holds $27 million in life insurance. Chelsea‘s removal from the trusts means she forfeits a potential $5.4 million payout from that amount alone. According to reports, Rosie made sure Chelsea received a copy of the revised trust to make her decision clear.

A fractured bond and its long-term fallout

Rosie and Chelsea‘s relationship has been marked by tension and public disagreements. In 2017, Rosie spoke openly about Chelsea’s struggles, saying she was “born addicted to heroin” and describing her as “very sick,” adding, “She is not capable of truth or reason.”

Chelsea has told her side of the story too. In an earlier interview with DailyMail.com, she alleged that Rosie once threatened her with a wine bottle over a tattoo. At the time, Chelsea was pregnant and declared that Rosie would not be part of her son’s life-a pregnancy that sadly ended in miscarriage.

Now a mother of four, Chelsea has three children living with their father, while her youngest is in foster care. Her name change petition, filed in Wisconsin on January 30, cites “Adoption/family name” as the reason for the switch.

For Rosie, who has now relocated overseas, the decision to disinherit her daughter and grandchildren was reportedly made after Chelsea‘s repeated run-ins with the law and failed attempts at reconciliation.

Chelsea‘s exclusion from the estate marks a final chapter in what has been one of the most public and painful familial separations in Hollywood.

Whether or not the relationship can be mended in the future remains to be seen, but for now, both women appear to be going their separate ways-legally, emotionally, and in name.
