Rosie O'Donnell's daughter insists she was thrown out of home by the star

Chelsea said: "She told me to leave and take my dog.

"Rosie said that I was almost 18, and she got all this c**p from work, and she didn't want to have to deal with that at home too.

"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. 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."

On August 18, Rosie made social media pleas and issued a statement appealing for her daughter to return home as she was "in need of medical attention", claiming she was suffering from a mental illness, which Chelsea found "really hurtful".

She added in an interview with MailOnline: "I think she did that because people started asking questions and she didn't want to seem like this bad parent that had kicked her daughter out.

"Putting out there that I am mentally ill was really hurtful. "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 was picked up by "nice" police at the New Jersey home of her boyfriend Steven Sheerer and returned to Rosie's house, but claims there wasn't a happy reunion waiting for her.

Chelsea said: "She had two of my bags packed with clothes. Literally 10 minutes after the police had dropped me off at the house, I got in a car and went to a friend's house"
