Rosie O’Donnell has left the United States, saying she may return when “it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America.”

The actress and comedian posted a video on TikTok on Tuesday in which she revealed she moved to Ireland with her 12-year-old child Clay in January.

“Although I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child.”

O’Donnell is “in the process” of getting her Irish citizenship as she has Irish grandparents.

“It’s been pretty wonderful, I have to say. The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. And I’m very grateful,” she said.

“I miss my other kids. I miss my friends. I miss many things about life there at home, and I’m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country. And when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back.”

She made it clear why she left.

“It’s been heartbreaking to see what’s happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know.”
