From Fox News:
During an interview with Chris Cuomo on his new show, “SiriusXM’s Cuomo Mornings,” the 63-year-old actress revealed she recently returned to the country to visit her family. The actress moved to Ireland with her teenage daughter in January 2025, just prior to President Trump’s second inauguration.
The bad blood between O’Donnell and President Trump goes back 20 years, when she criticized him while on “The View.” They continued to throw jabs at each other over the years, with O’Donnell telling the Irish radio show “Sunday with Miriam,” “He uses me as a punching bag and a way to sort of rile his base.”
“I was recently home for two weeks, and I did not really tell anyone,” she told Cuomo. “I just went to see my family. I wanted to see how hard it would be for me to get in and out of the country. I wanted to feel what it felt like. I wanted to hold my children again. And I hadn’t been home in over a year.”
She then shared that she “wanted to make sure that it was safe” for her and her daughter to come back over the summer so that they could be with family during her break from school.
She feels America is different because she hasn’t followed the news or American culture while in Ireland.
“I’ve been in a place where celebrity worship does not exist,” she said. “I’ve been in a place where there’s more balance to the news. There’s more balance to life. It’s not everyone trying to get more, more, more. It’s a very different culture. And I felt the United States in a completely different way than I ever had before I left.”
O’Donnell said she doesn’t “regret leaving at all” and she left to “save myself, my child, and my sanity.”
“And I’m very happy that I’m not in the midst of it there because the energy that I felt while in the United States was — if I could use the most simple word I can think of — it was scary,” she claimed. “There’s a feeling that something is really wrong, and no one is doing anything about it.”
