Rosie O’Donnell’s Drug Den Hell!

Rosie O’Donnell is reeling after her 17-year-old adopted daughter Chelsea ran away from home and ended up in the “drug den” attic of a heroin dealer in the next state.

In a bombshell world exclusive interview, The National ENQUIRER learned that well before the incident, the outspoken former talk show host had secretly feared Chelsea was hooked on drugs!

Jami Weaver, 33, who is the birth mother of Rosie’s youngest adopted daughter Dakota, 2, told The ENQUIRER: “When I was pregnant, Rosie told me Chelsea was having all sorts of problems – that she was doing drugs, that she wanted to be a stripper. She said she was in school but she wasn’t doing good. She kept running away.”

A week after Chelsea went missing from the star’s Nyack, N.Y., home on Aug. 11, Rosie, 53, went public and asked for help in finding the troubled youth, who she said suffered from mental issues and required medication.

On Aug. 18, Barnegat Township, N.J., police reported they had found Chelsea safe inside the home of Steven Sheerer, 25, who had previously been arrested on heroin dealing and child endangerment.

According to police, Sheerer initially denied them access but has not been charged.

Barnegat Police Lt. Keith Germain told The ENQUIRER that Chelsea was hiding in a windowless attic in the home Sheerer lives in with his parents and a sibling.

Chelsea was found with her therapy dog, a nine-pound black terrier named Bear.

“It was clear that she didn’t want to be found,” said Lt. Germain. “But she was friendly and cooperative.”

A neighbor told The ENQUIRER: “I’ve seen the kid around here about a dozen times. Steven is known on the block as the ‘drug addict.’ You hope the girl isn’t doing drugs with him.”

Police documents obtained by The ENQUIRER show that Sheerer was arrested in 2012.

After his house was searched, heroin and marijuana were found inside and he was charged with intent to distribute.

He was convicted on related charges.

A year later, he was indicted for possession of a drug, identified as suboxene, with intent to distribute.

He pleaded guilty and served 53 days in county jail.

While the true nature of Sheerer’s relationship with Rosie’s daughter is unclear, the legal age of sexual consent in New Jersey is 16.

In response to the claims made in this story, Rosie’s publicist, Cindi Berger, told The ENQUIRER: “Rosie is very concerned with Chelsea’s health, safety and well-being.”

The former star of “The View,” who is going through a divorce with estranged wife Michelle Rounds, tweeted to fans: “No mom is perfect – we all do our best.”
