By October, Chelsea made a public please to be disconnected from any of her mother's publicity. "I don't want to come off rude, that is not my intention. However, I have asked not to be brought into any Rosie drama and that I don't want to hear anything about her. I would appreciate it if anyone who is tagging me or asking me questions about her would please stop. Thank you."
A month later, Rosie arrived on the red carpet surrounded by her brood—except for Chelsea. "Yes, all of my kids except Chelsea [are here]," O'Donnell told Us Weekly. "Which is sad, but hopefully, there will come a day when she'll want to come." That day eventually did come in June when they reunited at a charity event thrown by Fran Drescher.
It seems things have been going much more smoothly for Rosie and Chelsea since, posing for a selfie Thursday night on Instagram to commemorate their renewed relationship.
"chelsea and me - what a difference a year makes," she captioned the shot. "#hopelives."
