Her father was born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Arturo Perez was her mother's 20-year-old husband. After an affair with Serrano's father, Perez's mother had already been blessed with five kids. Perez was born at the now-closed Greenpoint Hospital in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn.

 Perez is one of the ten children that her mother gave birth to. Rosie and her siblings were raised in Bushwick in the midst of a slum, where their mother was in prison for indefinitely long periods. Her mother gave birth to her first child while in prison. While she was in prison she was cared for by an aunt. Then, she was in foster homes and group homes. The siblings of her were often divided. She was put into the group foster home and she lived in foster care in New York until she reached the age of eight. She was considered legally as a ward in the State of New York from age 12 up to age 12. Her mother and aunt regularly visited her, as did her father tried unsuccessfully to claim custody of her.
