==Personal life==

On numerous occasions, O'Donnell has been outspoken about controversial topics. In 2007, she announced her opinion concerning the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, in which she questioned the [[NIST]] conclusions, and alleged the U.S. government's involvement in the attacks.<ref>{{cite news |last=Rosenberg |first=Alyssa |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/act-four/wp/2014/08/11/rosie-odonnell-jenny-mccarthy-and-the-dangers-of-vaccine-deniers-and-911-truthers/ |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |title=Rosie O'Donnell, Jenny McCarthy and the dangers of vaccine deniers and 9/11 truthers |date=August 11, 2014 |language=en}}</ref>

In March 2025, O'Donnell revealed in a [[TikTok]] video that she had moved to [[Ireland]] with her child, Clay, in January of that year. Explaining her decision to move, O'Donnell said “It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know.” She went on to say that she and Clay “just felt like we needed to take care of ourselves and make some hard decisions and follow through”.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Heching |first=Dan |date=2025-03-12 |title=Rosie O'Donnell reveals why she moved to Ireland: 'It's been pretty wonderful' |url=https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/entertainment/rosie-odonnell-moved-ireland/index.html |access-date=2025-03-12 |website=CNN |language=en}}</ref> O'Donnell was reported to be in the process of securing Irish citizenship through descent.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Rosie O'Donnell moving to Ireland to escape Trump administration |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/film/2025/03/12/rosie-o-donnell-ireland-united-states-donald-trump/ |access-date=2025-03-23 |newspaper=The Irish Times |language=en}}</ref>

===Sexual orientation===
In her January 31, 2002, appearance on the sitcom ''[[Will & Grace]]'', she played a lesbian mother. A month later, as part of her act at the Ovarian Cancer Research benefit at [[Caroline's Comedy Club]], O'Donnell [[coming out|came out]] as a lesbian, announcing "I'm a dyke! ... I don't know why people make such a big deal about the gay thing. ... People are confused, they're shocked, like this is a big revelation to somebody."<ref name=Coy2002>{{cite news|last=Williams|first=Jeannie|title=Rosie, coy on TV, 'comes out' on stage|url=http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/television/2002/2002-02-27-rosie.htm|access-date=March 8, 2014|newspaper=[[USA Today]]|date=February 27, 2002}}</ref> The announcement came two months before the end of her talk show. Although she also cited the need to put a face to gays and lesbians, her primary reason was to bring attention to [[gay adoption|LGBTQ adoption]] issues. O'Donnell is a foster and adoptive mother. She protested against adoption agencies, particularly in Florida, that refused adoptive rights to gay and lesbian parents.

[[Diane Sawyer]] interviewed O'Donnell in a March 14, 2002, episode of ''[[Primetime (U.S. TV program)|PrimeTime Thursday]]''. O'Donnell told ''[[USA Today]]'' that she chose to talk to Sawyer because she wanted an investigative piece on Florida's ban on gay adoption. She told Sawyer if that was done, "I would like to talk about my life and how (the case) pertains to me." She spoke about two gay men in Florida who faced having a foster child they raised removed from their home. State law wouldn't let them adopt because Florida banned gay or bisexual couples from adopting.<ref name=Coy2002/> O'Donnell's coming out drew criticism from some LGBTQ activists, who cited her repeated references to being enamored of [[Tom Cruise]] on ''The Rosie O'Donnell Show'' as deceptive.<ref name=Coy2002/> She responded in her act stating, "I said I wanted him to mow my lawn and bring me a lemonade. I never said I wanted to blow him."<ref>{{cite news|last=Musto|first=Michael|title=NY Mirror|url=http://www.villagevoice.com/2002-03-05/columns/ny-mirror/full/|access-date=March 8, 2014|newspaper=[[The Village Voice]]|date=March 5, 2002|archive-date=January 2, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140102045959/http://www.villagevoice.com/2002-03-05/columns/ny-mirror/full/|url-status=dead}}</ref> After leaving her show and coming out, O'Donnell returned to stand-up comedy and cut her hair, telling the press that her haircut was meant to mimic that of former [[Culture Club]] backup singer [[Helen Terry]].<ref>{{cite magazine|last1=Tauber|first1=Michelle|first2=Cynthia|last2=Wang|first3=Mark|last3=Dagostino|first4=Lynda|last4=Wright|first5=Liza|last5=Hamm|first6=Linda|last6=Trischitta|first7=Tom|last7=Duffy|title=The War of the Rosies|magazine=People|date=October 7, 2002|volume=58|issue=15|url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20138165,00.html|access-date=March 8, 2014|archive-date=March 8, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140308060833/http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20138165,00.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

O'Donnell was named 2002's Person of the Year by ''[[The Advocate (LGBT magazine)|The Advocate]]'', and, in May 2003, she became a regular columnist for the magazine.<ref name=advocatepeople>{{cite news|last=Silverman|first=Stephen M.|title=Rosie Takes Another Stab at a Magazine|url=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,626129,00.html|access-date=March 16, 2014|newspaper=People|date=May 9, 2003|archive-date=September 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924164203/http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,626129,00.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The magazine's editor-in-chief, Judy Wieder, stated, "Today, Rosie's long and brave journey has led her not only to the cover of ''The Advocate'' – Rosie was honored with the magazine's Person of the Year Award for 2002 – but now to its chorus of voices, as a columnist."<ref name=advocatepeople/>

On February 26, 2004, O'Donnell married Carpenter,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=124302&page=1|title=Kelli Carpenter O'Donnell Chat|author=<!--Not stated-->|work=ABC News}}</ref> a former [[Nickelodeon]] marketing executive, in San Francisco two weeks after Mayor [[Gavin Newsom]] authorized the granting of marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Her decision to go to San Francisco to marry Carpenter was seen as a show of defiance against then-President [[George W. Bush]] over his support for the [[Federal Marriage Amendment]]. She said in 2004, "We were both inspired to come here after the sitting President made the vile and hateful comments he made ...

As a result, everything that I said to Kelli, every letter that I wrote her, every e-mail, every correspondence and conversation was entered into the record ...

O'Donnell has suffered with mental issues her entire life, attributing it to the sexual abuse that was inflicted on her by her father when she was a child.
