Rosie O’Donnell posts a new Instagram video in which she meets with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse and sex trafficking and sings Helen Reddy’s 1972 feminist anthem “I Am Woman” together with them. In the video, O’Donnell tells the survivors that they have been facing a difficult situation and says she is sorry that the country is “so f—ed up,” using profanity.
The outlets frame the post as support for Epstein survivors and as part of O’Donnell’s broader public criticism of political handling of the case. Variety and Deadline emphasize her meeting with the survivors and the performance itself, while Deadline also links the timing to her recent late-night appearance and her continued criticism of Donald Trump. ComingSoon.net similarly describes the video as a response to the Trump administration’s handling of unsealed related records, portraying O’Donnell’s message as directly challenging those actions.
