Meet the biological mother of Rosie O’Donnell’s 17-year-old daughter Chelsea! Her name is Deanna Micoley of Wisconsin, and has revealed herself to the world claiming Rosie stole her daughter!
37-year-old Deanna claims she was forced by her ex-husband Tim Micoley to put their 2-year-old daughter –then named Kayla –up for adoption. She told The National ENQUIRER in a recent interview “I believe Rosie O’Donnell knew that I was in no condition to sign away my parental rights to my daughter!”
According to the interview, she was young and unhappily married when in 1997 she gave up their child to an adoption agency and blames her now ex-hubby for it.
Micoley –lost touch with her daughter and it wasn’t until last November when Kayla — now known as Chelsea — contacted her biological maternal grandfather.
She says it was the moment she had been waiting for the past 17-years. Deanna who admits she did drugs and has a record for it has been communicating with Chelsea ever since, but accuses Rosie of having taken her child and of coming in between them.
While Rosie on the other hand has exchanged text messages telling her it was all done legally and that she support Chelsea’s desire to communicate with her birth mother.
According to her Facebook page, she attended Northeast Wisconsin Technical College were she studied accounting.
Deanna Micoley says
remove from your page! All your facts are incorrect it’s slander!
Chloe says
You also told the Enquirer the same stuff, why are you saying this stuff is incorrect, the same facts are on the Enquirer.
Deanna Micoley says
No, Tim Micoley is my current husband! And Kayla was 2 MO old not 2 years! I see you at least took down the pic of my other daughter! That is defamation of character to post this about my current husband! They are not the same facts you definitely would not be accused of plagiarism

Deanna,
I’m sure that Chelsea has had both a good life with loving parents (Rosie and Kelli) and her siblings. I’m also sure that she has had a challenging life: ******* parents in a time when that wasn’t widely accepted (sad but true), divorce, the overwhelming fame of a parent, remarriage, and growing up knowing that she was adopted and that her birth mother was out there. At some point, she also found out that her name and birthdate had been changed.
All of these occurrences can lead to a child feeling confused, abandoned, and with a conflicted sense of self. The fact that Chelsea reached out to you, looking for love and connection, and you betrayed her by selling your story to the Enquirer, is just another event on a long list of adversity that Cheslea now has to overcome.
You may think that Chelsea was taken unjustly, but it does her absolutely no good for you to make this public or attempt to spread hate and vitriol about the woman she has always known as her mother. Instead of being a source of Cheslea’s to get her questions answered and feel love from her birth mother, you are leading with your own agenda to be divisive in this child’s life. Chelsea likely already feels a sense of torn loyalty and confusion and by attempting to poison her against the mother she grew up with, you are making her life more difficult rather than giving her another loving family and a sense of peace.
Chelsea has had to grow up with one parent putting her in the public eye regardless of her personal wishes, and I think it’s tragic that she reached out to you and you’ve done the same. I don’t know if you’re hungry for fame or money or just insenstive, but you’ve done this child and irrevocable disservice. I hope you’ll stop using Chelsea for your own selfish interests and try to form your own relationship with her in the name of harmony and love, outside of the public eye.
Chelsea deserves so much better than this.
A concerned citizen,
Catherine
