Rosie O’Donnell Heartbroken Over Swalwell Scandal: ‘Men Suck’

Rosie O’Donnell is sounding off in a big way — and this time, it’s over the explosive scandal surrounding former California congressman Eric Swalwell.

In a fiery TikTok rant, the outspoken comedian admitted she’s personally shaken by the allegations rocking Swalwell’s career, revealing she once supported him both publicly and financially. O’Donnell said she had spoken with him in the past, donated to his campaign, and believed in his image as a family man and political fighter.

That’s exactly why the fallout is hitting her so hard.

“Then all this comes out… and it’s heartbreaking,” she said, clearly stunned by the accusations that have now triggered multiple investigations. Swalwell has denied the claims, though he’s acknowledged making personal mistakes.

The scandal has already torpedoed his political future. Swalwell first suspended his run for California governor — then abruptly resigned from Congress as the allegations piled up.

But what really sent O’Donnell over the edge was the déjà vu.

In a moment dripping with frustration, she compared the situation to former President Bill Clinton, saying she even messaged Swalwell directly: “Bill Clinton broke my heart, and now you did too.”

Her takeaway? Brutal and blunt.

“Men suck.”

O’Donnell didn’t stop there, launching into a broader rant about trust, power, and what she sees as a pattern of public figures presenting one image while hiding another. She argued that people often mask deeper issues — from ego to impulse control — leaving supporters blindsided when scandals explode.

Meanwhile, the controversy has sparked political shockwaves, with even longtime allies distancing themselves as scrutiny intensifies.

O’Donnell’s reaction adds another layer to an already combustible situation — blending celebrity outrage with a growing political firestorm that shows no signs of cooling down.

The comedian, who has been living in Ireland after leaving the U.S. following Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, recently revealed she quietly returned stateside for a brief visit earlier this year. She said the trip was deeply personal — a chance to reconnect with family and test whether it felt safe to come back more permanently.

Now, with another political scandal dominating headlines, O’Donnell is once again making her voice heard — and making it clear she’s lost faith in more than just one politician.
