New details regarding sexual assault allegations against Rosie O'Donnell's daughter Chelsea O'Donnell have revealed the reason behind her probation revocation. TMZ obtained a report from the State of Wisconsin Department of Corrections on Tuesday, February 24, revealing that Chelsea allegedly touched a man's genitals without permission - forcing the court to cancel Chelsea's probation. In October 2025, Us Weekly broke the news that Chelsea's probation was revoked as a result of the alleged incident, though no further details were given at that time. The report obtained by TMZ claims Chelsea was operating a car at the time of the alleged incident. The alleged victim was sitting in the backseat on the passenger side when Chelsea allegedly reached into the backseat and touched his inner thigh. According to TMZ, the man pushed Chelsea's hand away before she allegedly "touched his genitals." The report claimed that she "got upset" and allegedly started driving "erratically." Rosie O'Donnell and Daughter Chelsea O'Donnell's Relationship Ups and Downs TMZ reported that Chelsea denied the alleged incident took place when questioned by the police. She claimed that the alleged encounter was consensual and also admitted to having several other sexual relationships. Us Weekly reached out to Rosie's rep for comment regarding the new details of the alleged incident and probation revocation. Chelsea O'Donnell Marinette County Sheriff's Office In October 2025, a Wisconsin judge sentenced Chelsea to jail time after determining she had violated the terms of her probation set forth after a series of run-ins with the law. (Chelsea was initially sentenced to six years probation in January 2025 after she reached a plea deal with prosecutors following three back-to-back arrests.) A court official noted that Chelsea had not shown significant progress in her drug treatment program prior to the apparent violation. "The facts surrounding this request have been staffed with the Marinette County Treatment Drug Court Team and have been deemed sufficient grounds to warrant termination from the Marinette County Treatment Drug Court Program," documents obtained by Us at the time read. Us confirmed in December 2025 that Chelsea had checked-in to the Taycheedah Correctional Institution in November following the probation revocation. "I have compassion for those struggling with addiction - Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her children," Rosie told Us in an October 2025 statement of her estranged daughter's substance abuse and legal troubles. "We continue to love and support her through these horrible times. Prayers welcomed. " Rosie O'Donnell's Daughter Chelsea Takes New Mugshot After Prison Check-In She was taken into police custody in September 2024 on charges of drug possession and child neglect. The following month, she was arrested on a drug charge. Her third arrest, which came in December 2024, was also related to alleged drug use. Chelsea's deal stated she would plead guilty to some charges while others were dropped. She was sentenced to 18 months in prison, which was "stayed," meaning she would only serve six-years probation as long as she stayed out of trouble. Chelsea was ordered to have "strict compliance" with the treatment drug court and maintain "absolute sobriety." The judge noted she would not be allowed to possess or consume alcohol, controlled substances or any substances. After violating the terms of her plea deal and probation, Chelsea restarted phase two of her treatment program in August 2025. The court noted that they saw "progress but concerns." Rosie spoke out about her daughter's legal troubles with an Instagram statement in December 2024. "After being bailed out by her birth mother - Chelsea was arrested again - and is facing many charges related to her drug addiction," the former TV host wrote at the time. "We all hope she is able to get the help she needs to turn her life around."
