AceShowbiz - Chelsea O'Donnell, the eldest daughter of comedian Rosie O'Donnell, has been navigating a turbulent period in her life marked by drug addiction, multiple arrests, and familial estrangement.

Adding further strains to her relationship with Rosie, Chelsea, who was adopted as a baby, has filed an official request for a name change, signaling her desire to cut ties with her famous mom.

Rosie addressed the situation through a heartfelt poem shared on social media. In the poem, Rosie revealed that Chelsea wishes to change her last name to her birth mother's maiden name. "She wishes to change her last name / to her birth moms maiden name / doesn't make sense to me / I am not her," she wrote.

This was further confirmed in court records obtained by PEOPLE. Chelsea filed the request on January 30 while residing in a sober living facility in Wisconsin. This move coincided with reports of Rosie removing Chelsea from her will, reportedly due to Chelsea's ongoing battle with substance abuse and legal troubles.

Reflecting on the complexities of adoption and their complicated relationship, Rosie wrote, "every adoption story is complicated / nuance and subtext / a primal wound / sometimes doesn't heal."

Despite the legal and personal challenges, Rosie expressed support for her daughter's recovery journey although her good intention might not be well received by Chelsea. "Its not about me / i am here for her - she's not here for me / a wise woman once said," Rosie continued.

Chelsea's life has indeed been a roller coaster. In 2015, she went missing from her New York home and eventually reconnected with her biological mother, Deanna Neuens, in Wisconsin. Despite their rocky history, Chelsea and Rosie reestablished their relationship, particularly after Chelsea's pregnancy with her first child, Skylar Rose.

The past few years have been exceptionally trying for Chelsea. Between September and November 2024, she faced three arrests on charges, including child neglect, drug possession, and bail jumping. Rosie has publicly voiced her sorrow and concern, emphasizing the family's long-standing fight with Chelsea's addiction.

On March 31, Chelsea was sentenced to six years of probation with stringent conditions aimed at supporting her sobriety and preventing further legal issues. Among these conditions are absolute sobriety, prohibition of alcohol, and controlled substances, and no contact with known drug users or sellers.

Rosie is hoping Chelsea can overcome her struggles and build a healthier future. As Rosie poignantly stated, "her recovery - her journey is her own… we all fail in so many ways. but rain or shine / same name or not / that's my girl / fierce and determined."
