Chelsea O'Donnell has spoken for the first time about what it was like to grow up as Rosie's daughter and what really happened in the days she was reported missing by her 'frantic' mother last August in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Online.
The 18-year-old reveals how Rosie's public persona is 'phony' and has little to do with her life behind closed doors.
She spoke out to disclose what she sees as O'Donnell's hypocrisy - that when she's out and about her bubbly and engaging personality is belied by the way she is at home.
Chelsea said: 'I find her not genuine a lot of the time. When we'd go out, she was a completely different person in public than at home and I had a hard time with that. It's like two different people.'
She also spoke to deny the star's public claims - made through O'Donnell's own social media accounts and apparently to the police - that she had run away from home and instead said Rosie had kicked her out two weeks before her 18th birthday.

Chelsea said: 'Our dinners were mostly ordering in pizza or Chinese food because nobody could really cook except for my other mom, Kelli [Carpenter, Rosie's first ex-wife].
'Rosie would eat takeout with us and if there were cookies in the house, she would eat them all. She was always coming into our rooms and asking if we had candy.

Not surprising...mental illness is always ugly behind closed doors...
“five pounds and a flannel shirt.”
“force feed the bull elephant.”
Just saying if anyone needs the response....
Wow, a spoiled kid hates their mom.
Stop the presses.
I grew up with a parent like that. It's very difficult, not knowing whether to zig or zag.
Outside the house:
Still nasty.
She ain’t no “mom.”
With a key?
Rosie O’Donnell...Isn’t she that nice, sweet, innocent woman that that mean Donald Trump was saying bad things about. Megyn Kelly said something about a “war on women” and that Donald Trump singled this poor woman out for verbal abuse.
A lot of mental instability.
We all are lost without Christ.
Hillary would sue the candy and cookie makers.
Imagine how the spandex feels.
Most adoptions are very tough, the kids usually have something wrong with them. I thing that is in play here.
If we didn’t already know Rosie, a celebrity, a lesbian, and a known cotroversial figure witha mouth, but also being lesbian and therefore unstable and unhappy, as can clearly be seen in her history, that would probably be a good conclusion. I tend to agree with the kid from what is easily known about Rosie.
They could SUE the stores for selling this food that fattens people.
Chelsea sounds like my niece when she was approx. 20 years old, failing in college due to partying and brought home. She promptly left home and moved in with some dirt bag and continued her drug usage while spreading lies about her family throughout the upscale neighborhood her parents lived in........
I feel sorry for Rosie and have no doubt that she was attempting to be the best mother she could to this adoptive child and hope that Chelsea will eventually get the help she needs and straighten out her life.
“... she was always coming into our rooms and asking if we had candy..”
Okay.. to be fair.....
