Rosie O'Donnell (64), the comedian and actress, has firmly denied rumors about her return to the United States to compete on 'Dancing With the Stars.' O'Donnell relocated to Ireland in January 2025, motivated by a desire to distance herself from Donald Trump following his second presidential inauguration. She has openly discussed her concerns regarding LGBTQ rights and the safety of her 12-year-old nonbinary child, Clay, as significant factors in her decision to leave the U.S. Recently, O'Donnell shared a humorous post on Instagram debunking a fake news story that claimed she would make a comeback on the dance competition. Although she made a brief visit to the U.S. to see family, she stated that it did not change her mind about returning permanently. O'Donnell emphasized that her relocation was necessary for her mental health and safety, stating, 'I think I did what I needed to do to save myself, my child, and my sanity.' The ongoing feud with Trump has been a long-standing issue, with him labeling her a 'criminal con man sexual abusing liar' and threatening her citizenship, which O'Donnell acknowledges influenced her decision to leave.
