Ryan O'Neal Hits On Daughter Tatum At Farah's Funeral
I wish I was kidding as I write this story, but sadly Ryan O'neal just keeps inventing new ways to make people dislike him even more. He tells Vanity Fair that he is a "hopeless father" and he wished he was kinder to Farah. Ummm sorry, it's too little and too late. We are all aware of O'Neal's parenting skills (I use the term lightly) in the last couple of decades. O'Neal has made quite a name for himself, and that name is not a kind one.You would think that Farah's death would have humbled him a bit, but his latest interview reveals that some things never change.
Contributing editor, Leslie Bennets, of Vanity Fair interviewed O'Neal for their upcoming September issue. There are also excerpts from ONeal's other family members as well. It is packed with plenty of O'Neal's short comings. Gems like son Griffith, who tells of his father giving him cocaine when he was only eleven years old. Isn't that such a nice father-son activity? I can just imagine what took place... It probably wasn't "hey Griffith you want to go pass the baseball in the yard?" It was probably more like "hey Griff, you want to do a couple of lines man?" Dysfunctional family is a mild term. And when Leslie asked O'Neal about daughter Tatum's autobiography, he hit the ceiling and said:
"She wrote a book--bitch! How dare she throw our laundry in the street for money!... She didn't call after Farrah's show. She'll have to explain that."Continued on the next pageTatum's response:
He has every right to be angry about the book; no parent wants to hear their kid saying shitty things about them... But what I wrote in the book was true. I've got a battle with drugs, but I'm a strong, independent person, and I fight for myself, and my father and I butt heads. When I was 16 years old, he and Farrah moved in together, and after that I saw my dad periodically, and that took a long time for me to get over. Would I do that to my kids? No, but I don't think Farrah was responsible for that. I truly thought Farrah was inspirational and beautiful and kind. Anyway, it's past; I've moved on. I'm older now, and I forgive him."
