As RadarOnline.com previously reported, ODonnell had issues with Chelseas biological mother Deanna Micoley earlier this year when the 37-year-old woman told The National ENQUIRER that in a heroin-fueled stupor in Nov. 1997 she was forced to give up the baby by her ex-husband.
Micoley called out the A-lister, in The ENQUIRER, for knowing the adverse circumstances she was under at the time she gave up the child (who she initially named Kayla) for adoption.
Rosie ODonnell stole my baby, but I dont want her money I just want my daughter back! Micoley said. I believe Rosie ODonnell knew that I was in no condition to sign away my parental rights to my daughter! She did the worst thing one woman can do to another woman take her child!
Micoley said that while she might have been a law-breaking drug-user at the time, she surely didnt deserve to have my baby stolen from her.
Chelsea and Micoley were reunited, she said, when ODonnells daughter found and reached out to her biological maternal grandfather, who informed Micoley of the contact and just who had adopted the child, a secret up until that point.
Micoley said that Chelsea told her that she had issues with Rosie earning the ire of the angry biological mother, who said that Rosie has abandoned Chelsea over the past five years.
Rosies basically shipped Chelsea off to different boarding schools, Micoley said, before launching into a series of accusations against the former host of The View.
Rosie wants to paint me as a horrible person and says adopting Chelsea saved her from a life of misery, she told The ENQUIRER. Rosie even hired someone to dig up my criminal record and gave it to Chelsea.
But bless her heart, Chelsea told me the past was the past, and she loves me! I went seventeen years without my daughter. The hurt I have I cant express it enough, what you and your so-called agency has done to me and my family!
You did the worst thing a woman could do to another woman, Micoley said.
ODonnells publicist Cindi Berger refuted Micoleys claims, saying that the Sleepless In Seattle star legally adopted Chelsea, has encouraged and supported Chelseas desire to communicate with her birth mother.
