Comedian and former talk-show host Rosie O’Donnell has recently made headlines by announcing her move to Ireland, citing the current political climate in the United States as a reason for her departure. In a video posted on TikTok, the 62-year-old revealed that she had relocated to Ireland with her 12-year-old child and was in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship.
While O’Donnell did not mention President Trump by name, she expressed her disappointment with the political situation in the U.S. and described her experience in Ireland as “wonderful” due to the warm and welcoming people. She also mentioned missing her other children, friends, and life back home, but stated that she would consider returning when all citizens have equal rights in America.
O’Donnell’s move is part of a growing trend among celebrities considering leaving the U.S., with personalities like Ellen DeGeneres, Cher, and James Cameron also having either moved or spoken about moving. This comes as Google search data showed a surge in Americans looking to move to Canada following Trump’s election win.
During a recent meeting between Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin and President Trump, a reporter asked Martin why he would let Rosie O’Donnell move to Ireland, to which Trump jokingly responded, “You’re better off not knowing.” This comment is just the latest in a long-running feud between O’Donnell and Trump.
In her video, O’Donnell encouraged her fans to stand up, protest, and demand adherence to the constitution in the U.S. She also mentioned trying Substack as TikTok had become too negative for her. O’Donnell’s departure reflects a larger trend of celebrities seeking refuge outside of the U.S. amidst political turmoil.
