The 64-year-old expat comedian shared what was clearly an AI-generated mock news report claiming: 'Rosie O'Donnell makes Dancing with the Stars debut. She returns to the US in an epic comeback!'
'This made me laugh,' O'Donnell - who boasts 5.1 million social media followers - wrote on Monday.
'Reminds me to never get a perm! Completely untrue but funny.'
The 12-time winner might not be a dancer but she was honored with the Tony's Isabelle Stevenson Award in 2014 after starring in three Broadway musicals - Grease (1994), Seussical (2000) and Fiddler on the Roof (2005).
Season 35 of the ABC celebrity dancing competition doesn't premiere until September, and the full cast lineup is expected to be announced that same month.

The former talk show host is estranged from her 28-year-old daughter Chelsea - who was sentenced to prison in Wisconsin on October 22 for meth possession, bail jumping and resisting/obstructing an officer (2025 mugshot)
O'Donnell shared a childhood snap of Chelsea and wrote at the time: 'My child Chelsea Belle - before addiction took over her life - I loved her then. I love her now as she faces a scary future. Prayers welcomed. #addiction awareness'
The SPoRKartOON actress - whose grandparents were from Ireland - moved to Dublin in January 2025 and she's still reportedly 'in the process' of obtaining Irish citizenship.
The outspoken Democrat's longtime nemesis - President Donald Trump - has threatened to revoke her American citizenship, but he can't considering the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the States.

Earlier this year, O'Donnell told SiriusXM's Cuomo Mornings: 'I don't regret leaving at all. I think I did what I needed to do to save myself, my child and my sanity. There's a feeling that something is really wrong and no one is doing anything about it.'
The And Just Like That guest star - whose ongoing feud with Trump dates back to 2006 - has been workshopping a one-woman show called Common Knowledge.
