Rosie O'Donnell Quietly Visits U.S. After Move to Ireland, Says She Has No Regrets

She says the trip tested how safely she could travel ahead of a planned summer visit with her daughter.

Overview

  • O'Donnell told SiriusXM's Chris Cuomo she spent two unpublicized weeks in New York to see family and gauge how difficult it would be to enter and leave the country.
  • She said she wanted to assess her safety before bringing her youngest child from Ireland for a summer stay with relatives, noting one of her sons is expecting his first child.
  • The comedian described the United States as feeling like a "very different country" and called the energy "scary," contrasting it with what she views as a calmer, less celebrity‑fixated culture in Ireland.
  • She reiterated that she does not regret relocating in January 2025 after President Trump's second inauguration and that she is pursuing Irish citizenship.
  • Coverage revisited Trump's 2025 Truth Social threats to revoke her citizenship; O'Donnell maintains she will keep her U.S. citizenship, and legal reporting notes a president cannot unilaterally strip citizenship of a U.S.-born citizen.
