Rosie O’Donnell‘s 18-year-old daughter Chelsea O’Donnell is speaking out after her famous mother reported her missing in August.

In a Tuesday interview with Daily Mail, Chelsea claims that Rosie kicked her out of the house Aug. 11, two weeks before her 18th birthday.

“She told me to leave and take my dog,” Chelsea said. “Rosie knew I was planning to leave, that’s why I think she kicked me out. She asked me to talk about what was going on and I didn’t want to. So she asked for my phone and my computer. This was hours before she told me to leave. I gave them to her. A few hours later, she told me to leave. I wasn’t planning to go until I turned 18 on the 24th.”

In a now-deleted blog post, Rosie had announced that Chelsea was last seen Aug. 11. Hours later, Chelsea was found at the home of alleged heroin addict Steven Sheerer, 25. As well, Rosie claimed that Chelsea suffers from mental illness.

But Chelsea denies being mentally ill, although she suffered from anxiety and depression when Rosie and her ex-wife Kelli Carpenter, Chelsea’s other adoptive mother, got divorced in 2007.

“Putting out there that I am mentally ill was really hurtful,” Chelsea said. “People think I’m this crazy person and as I’ve said, I have depression and bad anxiety – but it’s been something that’s gotten a lot better. But these were personal things and I didn’t want anyone to know them about me. … I wouldn’t say I’m mentally ill – I would say lots of people struggle with what I have.”

Chelsea went on to say she was “pretty much raised by nannies,” to whom she is closer with than Rosie.

“‘I would have liked to have my parents more in the picture raising me instead of nannies – although my nannies are great people,” Chelsea said.
