The return to the United States would be a great security risk for the actress, now living in Ireland.
Rosie O’Donnell missed one of the most important days in her daughter Vivienne’s life: the college closing ceremony. Her security team advised the actress from entering Donald Trump in view of the escalating dealing with Donald Trump.
Recommendations of the editorial team
Rosie O’Donnell actually wanted to celebrate her daughter Vivienne’s college degree in New York in May in New York. But the actress and talk show presenter stayed away from the ceremony-on urgent advice from her security team.
The experts warned that their presence could be a risk. “The security guards told me that they didn’t think that was a good idea,” said O’Donnell. “They believe that Trump will use me to incite his followers”. She added: “His ability to disparage people, devalue and humiliate, encouraged others to do the same.”
The background is the Fehde, which has been escalating for months with Donald Trump, which O’Donnell, in his own words, now feels a real danger to himself and her family. It all started in 2006 when she sharply criticized the entrepreneur at the time because of his role in the Miss-USA election. Since then, both have had a public exchange of blows, which took a new dimension with Trump’s return to the White House in 2024.
With her youngest child Clay, who identified as a non-bobage, O’Donnell emigrated to Ireland to win distance from the political climate in the United States.
Donald Trump threatens to withdraw citizenship
But even abroad, the 62-year-old remains in the sight of the ex-president. Trump recently threatened to withdraw US citizenship several times. On his Truth Social platform, he described her as a “threat to humanity” and said that she should stay better in Ireland. Legally, however, these threats are hardly durable: the 14th amendment of the constitution protects the birth law on citizenship and a president also has no authority to deprive it independently.
O’Donnell reacted calmly, but determined that she was proud of her American citizenship and will not miss it.
