Rosie O'Donnell On How Her Child Came Out As Nonbinary
Rosie O'Donnell opened up for the first time about her child coming out as nonbinary. In a conversation with Variety about her role as a Mary in the third season of And Just Like That..., Rosie discussed when her child, Clay, 12, disclosed their gender identity to her. Rosie described it as "the most interesting thing." "I have a little one who is nonbinary — 12 years old — and it was the most interesting thing," the actor and comedian said. "They said to me, 'Mommy, I'm nonbinary. I'm not a boy and I'm not a girl.' I said, 'Okay, fantastic.'" "They go, 'My pronouns are they/them, and I'd like them respected.' I will do my very best, right? Who are they, Harvey Milk reincarnated?" Rosie added. If you didn't know, Rosie is a parent to five children: Clay, Vivieene, 22, Blake, 25, Chelsea, 27, and Parker, 30. In a March 20 TikTok, Rosie confirmed that she's officially living in Ireland and is "proud and impressed" with her child Clay's adjustment to the big change. "It's not easy to move to another country, and we really felt as a family this was the safest and best thing for us to do." Talking with Variety, Rosie also said the conversation led to her child asking if she was nonbinary. "I said, 'Well, you know what, honey, I'm an O.G. lesbian. I'm a girl who knew I was a girl, who liked being a girl, but didn't feel like a real girl. But I never wanted to be a boy. I never thought about boys. I was only always thinking about girls.' And then they said, "What did your class say when you told them?" Rosie then explained that the expression of sexuality and gender was very different when she was a kid in the 70s. "Can you imagine? They have no understanding of what it was like when I was 10 in 1972 and nobody mentioned it. The word was not said — you would never admit it." "You'd go to church and hear horrible things about people like you, and Billie Jean [King] and Martina [Navratilova] had to disclaim their lesbianism and pretend they were not gay in order to continue working on the tennis circuit, and that was so painful for me when I was a 10-year-old. They didn't understand. I've been trying to explain to them what it was like when I was a kid, and they are stunned." As a millennial who is queer and nonbinary, it's important to note that the reason it's much different for younger generations like Clay and myself can be attributed to people like Rosie. I grew up watching Rosie in A League of Their Own, The Flintstones, Wide Awake, Harriet the Spy (my favorite), and her talk shows. When she publicly came out, it was the first time I saw someone accepting who they truly are despite opposition. It provided me with a blueprint to begin my journey of self-discovery years ago, and these journeys continue for the younger generations, thanks to folks like Rosie. "It was really a strange time to be out of the closet to everyone in show business who knew me personally — and in my life, everyone knew and I had children. Once you have children, you're out! Because you go with your partner to the school meetings," Rosie told the publication. "I was out to everyone except the public. And I often thought it was surprising that when I did come out, people were surprised. 'Well, you like Tom Cruise.' I didn't want him naked in my bed! I wanted him to mow my lawn and give me a lemonade. How many times do I have to say that?" Oh, Rosie. You did it for me again. Some of us really need to see and hear these conversations. 😂 Thank you.

Warrant out for man accused of assaulting Austin peach vendor
AUSTIN (KXAN) – Police are working to arrest a man seen on video attacking a fruit vendor in northwest Austin. The attack happened over the weekend at North Loop 360 and Spicewood Springs Road. 'So I was here Friday, and came back Saturday as usual, as I've been doing for the past three years,' said Rosie, the vendor. She asked us not to use her last name or show her face out of fear for her safety. She believes the attack was a hate crime. This past Saturday, however, was far from typical. Rosie said a man set up a canopy near her stand, came up to her while she was with customers, and demanded she move. 'I tried to reason with him and tell him we could share the space,' Rosie said. Then things escalated. Video from Rosie's friend shows the man – who police identified as Lucas Spradlin – push over crates of peaches and then start pushing employees. 'He threw me on the ground and started punching me,' Rosie said. She has to wear a wrist brace now, but it's what the man said that stuck with her more than any physical injury. 'He started insulting me about my race and sexual orientation. I'm a two-spirit Indigenous person,' Rosie said. 'Calling me all types of names. Being very derogatory.' Police have a warrant out for Spradlin on three charges: Assault with Injury, Class A Misdemeanor (2) Criminal Mischief, Class B Misdemeanor It is still too early to determine whether law enforcement will officially pursue prosecution of this as a hate crime. Hate crimes are defined in Texas as an attack 'motivated by prejudice, hatred or advocacy of violence.' 'I'm just trying to do things in a good way. But people like him don't listen, they don't care about those things. they only care about hate. and hate doesn't get you far,' Rosie said. At the writing of this article, Spradlin was not in custody. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Rosie O'Donnell reveals hit show she was meant to star in before fleeing America
Rosie O'Donnell has revealed she was due to star in a hit comedy right before she decided to flee America and move to Ireland. The legendary comedian left the US at the beginning of the year after President Donald Trump's second term in office began, and was joined by her 12-year-old child, who is non-binary and goes by Clay. In the last few months, the 63-year-old has left many delighted with a string of TV appearances – including a hilarious cameo in Hacks, and a stint as a nun in the season three premiere of And Just Like That…, which aired on Thursday. During a new interview to promote her latest screen efforts, she opened up about other projects in the works, explaining that she was due to pop up in Poker Face with Natasha Lyonne shortly before the move. 'I was supposed to do, right before I left, an episode of Poker Face,' she told Variety, sharing that she would still love to take part in the hit Peacock series. 'I'm hoping that I'll be able to do that, although I don't know – with the current political climate, when would it be safe to come back with my child? 'I'm not going to push it before this administration is completely finished, and hopefully held accountable for their crimes.' Giving an update on her new life across the pond with Clay, Rosie raved: 'Never, for one moment since I arrived here, did I regret my choice. 'People have been so welcoming, so accepting, and they have a different view of celebrity in the culture here. They are not prioritized over other people. 'People are much more friendly and intimate with each other in a real way.' Following Trump's return to office in January, the former host of the View decided to leave the US – declaring that she 'needed to' make the move for her family, and her 'own sanity'. She has since settled down in Ireland with Clay and their new dog, but her other children, Parker, Blake, Chelsea and Vivienne, are yet to join them. More Trending Her bitter battle with Trump has been raging for nearly 20 years, and stemmed from the moment she called him out on the View in 2006. Appearing on the Late Late Show recently, Rosie shed further light on the move, telling the host: 'The President of the United States has it out for me and has for 20 years, when I told the truth about him on a program called The View – where it was my job to talk about pop culture, politics… 'I mentioned his bankruptcies, I mentioned all of the sexual assault charges and I mentioned that he was not, in fact, the businessman that everyone thinks he is because of the show, The Apprentice, where they sold a bunch of lies to America for over 10 years, and half of America believed it.

Blackpink's Rosé longs to be 'anonymous'
Blackpink star Rosé dreams of "being anonymous" because it would give her more "freedom". The 28-year-old pop singer shot to international fame with the girl group back in 2016, but she goes to great lengths to disguise herself - even dressing up like an old woman so she could walk the streets without being recognised - and Rose admits she hates having to give up her independence because of her job. She told Dazed magazine: "What does freedom look like to me? Freedom means being anonymous." Recalling her experience using prosthetics to disguise herself, she insisted she won't go to such extreme lengths again , adding: "It was really, really intense. I don't think I'll ever do that again." However, when asked if she would ever consider going into acting in a bid to become another person temporarily, she replied: "Wow, yes, I think that would be incredible in that sense ... Yes, I would love to act, because I'll get to feel what it's like to be anonymous." Rosé also recalled a time when she was asked to speak at a corporate event in Europe and she dreaded walking through the crowd, but she was delighted when no one seemed to notice her. She said of the experience: "I was so anxious because usually when I walk through a big crowd of people I have to understand that people are going to recognise me and look at me .. [But no one noticed me so] I was jumping up and down after ... " Rosé released her debut studio album 'Rosie' last year but she's about to get back to work with Blackpink as they kick off the 'Blackpink 2025 World Tour' on July 5 at the Goyang Stadium in South Korea. Her bandmate Lisa recently hinted they may also be releasing new music soon as they have been back in the studio working on a new album. In an interview with Variety, the 'White Louts' actress spilled: 'Actually, we were in the studio a few days ago. "We're all so super excited to get back together and go on tour. We really miss the Blinks. We can't wait to see them."
