Celebrity Exodus: O’Donnell’s Political Relocation
Comedian Rosie O’Donnell made her first Irish television appearance on “The Late Late Show” since relocating to Ireland earlier this year. During the interview, O’Donnell revealed that she moved abroad in January with her 12-year-old child Clay, whom she is raising as nonbinary. The decision to leave America came as a significant life change for the 62-year-old entertainer, who had built her career in the United States through television shows, films, and Broadway productions over several decades.
“I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are.”, said Rosie O’Donnell.
The comedian made no secret that her departure was politically motivated, specifically tied to her longstanding feud with former President Donald Trump and her concerns about his potential return to office. O’Donnell is currently pursuing Irish citizenship based on her grandparents’ origins in Ireland, suggesting her relocation may become permanent depending on America’s political direction. She repeatedly described Ireland as a socialist “paradise” during her television appearance.
No Return Without Political Conditions
When questioned about potentially returning to the United States, O’Donnell established clear political conditions for her homecoming. She emphatically stated she would not consider returning until Trump is both removed from office and facing imprisonment. This hardline stance underscores the depth of her political motivations for leaving America, which she framed as concerns for safety rather than mere policy disagreements.
Despite building a new life abroad, O’Donnell maintained connections to the American entertainment industry. During the interview, she discussed her recent appearance on the HBO comedy series “Hacks” and her role in the “Sex and the City” spinoff. The interviewer specifically highlighted her cameo on “Hacks,” asking: “I was delighted to see you pop up on ‘Hacks’ recently as well, playing yourself. Any other comedies you’re thinking about joining?”
Part of a Broader Celebrity Trend
O’Donnell’s international relocation is part of a growing trend among American celebrities choosing to live abroad. Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi moved to England after the conclusion of DeGeneres’ talk show. Other notable relocations include Tyra Banks to Australia, Eva Longoria splitting time between Mexico and Spain, and Richard Gere settling in Spain with his family. Each celebrity cited different motivations, from professional opportunities to lifestyle preferences.
While some celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, who moved to Dubai, and Josh Hartnett, who relocated to England, cited desires for privacy and balanced lifestyles away from Hollywood’s spotlight, O’Donnell’s move stands out for its explicitly political nature. Her decision to relocate her family specifically references concerns about the American political climate under potential future Trump leadership rather than career opportunities or lifestyle preferences.
O’Donnell’s relocation reflects the polarized nature of American politics, where some public figures feel compelled to make significant life changes based on electoral outcomes. While she continues her entertainment career from abroad, her firm stance on conditions for return suggests her Irish residence may become a long-term arrangement depending on America’s political direction in the coming years.
