Michelle Rounds, who's battling Rosie O'Donnell for custody of their daughter, beams with her arm around sexy model Carmen Ortega, who showed an eye-popping amount of cleavage as they left the restaurant Madera Kitchen.

While Michelle's smiling here, an insider told RadarOnline.com that "the last five months have been absolute hell for" her as "Rosie's a big bully and has gone out of her way to make her life miserable."

The curvy Ortega's muscular legs were on display as she remained hand-in-hand with the lovely redhead, leading her down a set of steps.

An insider said that Michelle deserves the full custody of the child that she's seeking, as she's "done everything for their daughter since the adoption."

Rosie, 53, hasn't been so hands on, the source said, noting that the TV personality "seldom changed diapers or fed their baby."

Rounds "wants their child away from Rosie and all of Rosie's problems," the source said of the beauty's intentions in the custody battle.

Rounds, 43, is also seeking to collect off a prenup the two agreed before their 2012 wedding -- "money that Rosie doesn't want to pay," according to the source.

You might recall Ortega's name, as she was romantically linked to Kim Kardashian ex Reggie Bush for a time.

Kardashian certainly knows her name well, as she had her ejected from the backstage area of an event in Los Angeles last fall, calling Ortega, 30, a "wh*re" in the process.

The ladies end the evening in a limo; if Rosie wasn't seething before seeing these shots, it's safe to say she might be now.
