Rosie O’Donnell and her estranged wife Michelle Rounds have been having some serious drama since their split, with a nasty custody battle that has seen all kinds of accusations thrown back and forth about who’s fit to be a parent and who’s doing drugs and all kinds of shit. However, it’s come to light that Rosie recently put their differences aside and actually saved Michelle’s life when she tried to kill herself. Yikes!
From TMZ:
Sources familiar with the situation tell us … Michelle Rounds had overdosed on pills after threatening to end her life. We’re told Rosie got wind of Michelle’s plan, called her and tried talking her out of it. Rosie got someone to call 911 as she stayed on the phone with Michelle.
Law enforcement confirms that Michelle was rushed to a local Nyack, NY hospital from a hotel at 11:15 PM Tuesday.
As one source put it … Michelle wouldn’t be alive today without Rosie’s intervention.
We’re also told the trigger for Michelle was child custody. Sources tell us Michelle lost custody of their 2-year-old daughter to Rosie, and that sent her over the edge.
Rosie even comforted Michelle while in the hospital.
I think Rosie gets a lot of shit that she doesn’t deserve and she’s actually a pretty good lady. However, if anyone needs to not be watching children at the moment, it’s definitely someone who’s suicidal.
