Rosie O’Donnell’s therapist urged her to “detach” from posting about President Trump for two days — but the comedian caved within hours and was back to bashing her longtime nemesis on social media.
The former talk show host’s deranged “fixation” on the president was put on blast in a Washington Post piece profiling her new life in Ireland — a move she made just five days before Trump’s inauguration.
In the article, O’Donnell — who regularly fires off anti-Trump postson social media — recalled promising her shrink the day before Thanksgiving that she would stop talking and posting about the Republican president for two days, a vow that crumbled almost immediately.
The 63-year-old said her self-imposed detox lasted only a “few hours,” ending when she learned Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey to be “quiet, piggy” aboard Air Force One as she pressed him on why he opposed releasing the remaining Epstein files.
The “A League of Their Own” star then exploded on social media, telling CNN’s Jim Acosta she was disgusted with the White House press corps for allowing Trump to verbally “rape” a reporter.
O’Donnell told the outlet that her worn-out therapist Jennifer Kopetic pleaded with her during a recent session: “Roseann, you’ve got to detach. You’ve got to disconnect.”
Days later, she told her 1.2 million Instagram followers she’d “try again” to ignore Trump, but that second attempt fell apart just as fast.
Friends and family have grown concerned about her inability to unplug from politics, but her brother Eddie told the outlet that her move to Ireland was “the best decision she’s made.”
“Still, when you have a phone and a fixation, it can be hard to totally disengage,” WaPo reporter Geoff Edgers noted in his piece, “Rosie O’Donnell’s life in exile.”
The outlet noted that in Trump’s first term, O’Donnell churned out more than 200 hostile digital portraits of Trump — tagged with insults like “Moron,” “Loser,” and “Liar” — manically obsessive behavior the reporter said helped drive her out of the country.
O’Donnell moved overseas to the Dublin suburb of Howth with her 12-year-old non-binary child in January in response to Trump’s victory against Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
She called the move a “necessity”to protect her family, saying her “heart couldn’t take the pain” of what Trump was planning — or what he has already done.
Tensions between the high-profile pair stretch back nearly two decades, starting in 2006 when O’Donnell criticized Trump while co-hosting “The View.”
Their feud reignited in July when Trump took to Truth Social, threatening to strip the Long Island-born comedian of her US citizenship and labeling her a “Threat to Humanity.”
The actress quickly fired back with a flurry of Instagram posts ripping Trump as a “dangerous old soulless man” who craves “loyalty” and picturing him with notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution grants citizenship to anyone born on US soil.
In October, O’Donnell revealed she was seeking Irish citizenship.
The post Rosie O’Donnell’s therapist told her to ‘detach’ from Trump for two days — she lasted only hours appeared first on New York Post.
