Rosie O'Donnell is going viral again.


In a new video, she gets some help calling out President Donald Trump's friendship with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein by singing a famous feminist anthem from 1972.

Seven survivors of the late convicted sex offender joined the former talk show host, all dressed in white, to sing "I Am Woman" by Helen Reddy, and O'Donnell shared the video with her 1.4M followers on Instagram. She posted the video Thursday and directly referenced the president's former personal lawyer, U.S Attorney General Todd Blanche.

“After the corrupt AG (Trump’s former personal lawyer) implied that he did not believe men accused of sex abuse would be charged as a result of the Epstein files — despite mountains of evidence,” O'Donnell wrote in her caption for the video. “I called some Epstein survivors asked them to sing with me, a powerful Helen Reddy song that taught me at 10 years old to use my voice.”

The out lesbian comic and actress called on everyone watching to share the video and to join them by recording themselves singing the Grammy-winning solo performance that became a number one hit for the late pop star on the Billboard charts.

"Show ur support for abuse survivors – Brave enough to speak out – 'Yes I am wise – but it’s wisdom born of pain…' repost – duet – make ur own video sing I AM WOMAN."

Although only seven women appear with O'Donnell in the video, Deadline reported there were eight in attendance: Andrea Sterling, Sharlene Rochard, Lara Blume McGee, Jena-lisa Jones, Wendy Pesante, Lisa Phillips, Marina Lacerda and Chauntae Davies.

Before singing with them, O'Donnell expressed her support. “I know it’s been very hard for you, and with very little support, and I’m sorry that our country’s so fucked up,” she said. “But this is what we have to live through. Because you are all heroes, and you’re going to change how the world deals with child sex abuse.”

The survivors also posted a photo of themselves with Rosie on Instagram accounts belonging to Epstein Survivor Sisters and Lara Blume McGee, to share a message to other survivors of sexual abuse, noting they are "reclaiming our narratives, demanding justice, and rising into our absolute greatness."

"For years, we were forced into the shadows, made to believe we were isolated, broken, and entirely alone. The system built around Jeffrey Epstein was designed to silence us, to keep us separate, and to make us believe our voices had no power," they wrote. "But they underestimated what happens when the silence is finally broken. When women come together, the ground shifts. There is an undeniable, fierce magic that ignites when we stop carrying our burdens in isolation and start sharing them in community."

"Beautiful," wrote O'Donnell in a comment, to which the Epstein Survivors account responded, "thank you for being you."

Their message continued: "In our unity, the shame they tried to project onto us dissolves, replaced by an unbreakable, collective strength. We are not just surviving anymore. By standing shoulder-to-shoulder, we are reclaiming our narratives, demanding justice, and rising into our absolute greatness. We are living proof that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it happens in connection."

"To every survivor, and to every woman fighting her own quiet battles: remember that we are far better, far stronger, and entirely unstoppable when we stand together than when we are kept apart," they added. "Our voices joined together are a force they can no longer ignore. Together we Rise. Want to help donate to non profits founded by Epstein survivors."

The women shared links to two other Instagram accounts: The Jane Doe Foundation and The Survivors, Inc.

As Deadline reported, O’Donnell’s video follows her scathing serenade last month on Jimmy Kimmel Live, in which she concluded her week as guest host by performing a parody of the Irish folk song “Danny Boy” and urged President Trump to resign.

Trump has maintained his innocence in the Epstein case, but as Out reported, the release of the so-called Epstein files by the Department of Justice in January 2026 contained more than 3 million pages of documents related to the late sex offender.

The New York Times identified more than 38,000 references to Trump, his wife, his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, and other related words and phrases.

In April, a judge dismissed his $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal for its reporting of a birthday letter and cartoon that Trump denies writing to Epstein. Then in May, the twice-impeached president filed an amended suit, which is still pending.
