Rosie O'Donnell took to Twitter to share a cryptic message after her teenage daughter Chelsea O'Donnell gave a scathing, tell-all interview about her celebrity mom in the UK paper The Daily Mail, Us Weekly reported. Rosie posted a sad quote from a children's book on the social media site that could be taken as a message to her estranged daughter.
"I will grow, I will grow, I will grow. I will grow without you. I will feel the sun on my face and I will thrive," the 53-year-old comedian and actress wrote. She posted it along with a photo of the youngest of her five children.
She lifted the quote from a 1942 children's book titled "The Runaway Bunny," written by author Margaret Wise Brown, according to Us Weekly. Brown is the same writer behind another beloved children's book, "Goodnight Moon."
"'The Runaway Bunny' begins with a young bunny who decides to run away: 'If you run away,' said his mother, 'I will run after you. For you are my little bunny,'" according to the book's description on Amazon.
The book's plot is something Rosie can relate to. In August, Rosie reported her 18-year-old daughter missing, as previously reported by HNGN. Chelsea was found hours later, and now she's speaking out against Rosie.
Chelsea said that she planned to move out on her 18th birthday, but Rosie kicked her out before she could carry out her plan, so she went to stay with a boyfriend, according to the Daily Mail.
"Rosie said that I was almost 18," Chelsea told the Daily Mail, "and she got all this crap from work, and she didn't want to have to deal with that at home too."
