Comedian Rosie O'Donnell revealed that she missed her daughter's college graduation after moving to Ireland, a decision she attributed to President Donald Trump.
Earlier this year, the comedian and former talk-show host, 63, opened up about her move away from the United States, a decision sparked by the political climate following Trump's election win in 2024. O'Donnell, who has five children, has criticized the president after he threatened to revoke the American-born actress and host's U.S. citizenship, despite the lack of constitutional power to do so.
In a Sept. 8 episode of the "No Filter" podcast, O'Donnell said her security staff advised her not to return to the United States for her daughter's graduation, adding that the president would "use me to rile his base."
"I'm his nemesis in his mind and to them," she told podcast host Kate Langbroek. "To a third of the country. That's a very difficult place to be."
In an Instagram post in May, the comedian celebrated her daughter's achievement.
