GriffIn O'Neal's CNN Showbiz Interview

[dogloverNV]

I believe that Griffin is 100% correct about his father. Ryan is an extremely abusive man, and I think that's why Farrah wouldn't marry him. But due to her Catholic beliefs, I think she was trapped in this situation. He was a mean 'husband' to her. She was a co-dependent.

[donnafromcape]

Sorry, but I have to say this. This man, you can definately tell he's Ryan's son, for he seems so controling, and constantly shifting blame to Ryan for "EVERYTHING" that goes wrong. They're all addicts, and that's what addicts do, shift subjects to other things to get the subject OFF of themselves. At 0:56 he says "mommy!" for her to keep a small toddler quiet while HE told HIS side of HIS story. If I'd been her, I'd have told him "GO F@CK YOURSELF, FAME WH*RE"!! Pot calling the kettle black!

[empressofthefrench]

You can tell Griffin has a lot going for him, unlike his low life father.

[COBYKOEHL2]

I BELIEVE EVERY WORD!

[mseti1]

I knew there was a reason why Farrah never wanted to marry Ryan....and I'm so glad she never did !!!

How are you doing, lets stay in touch ok. if you need anything just ask. I met the most interesting doctor and I want to spread the word, I wish I would had known him when FF has just gotten sick. I want to help the people out there that cant find the help they need for cancer etc. when you get a chance check out Christian Wilde the doc. amazing stuff. have a great day....remember you have 186200 seconds in a day make them glorious.

[luckkelly]

luckkelly@drasmiller Hey, thanks so much Drasmiller! I will gladly stay in touch with you, and if you need anything from me, just ask, too. That's great, that you met a doctor whom excels at caring for cancer patients. I, too, would like to help the people out there that can't find the help they need for cancer. I will do internet research on it, and will check out Christian Wilde the doc.. I bet there is amazing stuff there.

[luckkelly]

luckkelly@drasmiller You have a wonderful day, too, Drasmiller! your friend, always, Kelly Cannon

[luckkelly]

luckkelly@drasmiller I'll get back in touch with you soon, too.

[drasmiller]

You are a good person you helped & gave of youself in my book that is angelic, thank you for kindness. You deserve the gratitude of many. You are in a very small club but it is an honorable one.

[luckkelly]

@drasmiller Thank you very much for your kindness, too, Drasmiller! I think you deserve much gratitude, you are a good person, and I feel you are also included in the honorable club, as well. God bless you, and I hope you have a wonderful evening. Sincerely, your friend, Kelly Joanne Cannon

[luckkelly]

Sincerely, a fan, Kelly Joanne Cannon

[drasmiller]

@luckkelly I don't think you are going to get the thanks you deserve. I have yet to recieve a thanks for anything. I think they just go from person to person taking.

[luckkelly]

@drasmiller That's a shame. Well, I for one would say thank you to you, if that's worth anything, and certainly thank you to you for thinking of my posts. It was nice of you.

[luckkelly]

thanking us. I just think it would be a very nice gesture.

[luckkelly]

about them, perhaps in a future news article

[luckkelly]

in return, for our caring

[luckkelly]

thank you's from both of them

[luckkelly]

but feel we, the others deserve

[luckkelly]

I still will believe in them both

[luckkelly]

throughout their tribulations

[luckkelly]

both Ryan, and Griffin,

[luckkelly]

have comforted, and supported

[luckkelly]

but we, other people

[luckkelly]

in the past

[luckkelly]

or dishonesty

[luckkelly]

my own violent temper

[luckkelly]

I haven't forgotten

[luckkelly]

I like Ryan o'neal, too

[luckkelly]

to show that truth is right

[luckkelly]

sometimes secrets just need to be exposed

[luckkelly]

a few years ago

[luckkelly]

that Mom, and I were involved in

[luckkelly]

I understand what Griffin did. He was angry with his dad, just trying to set the record straight to put a dishonest man, his dad, Ryan, in his place, and to tell the truth, to always keep going on the right track, meaning no more drugs or trouble with the law. I've vented the truth publicly, myself, about a bad, dishonest situation

[Spalooosh]

Ryan was trouble......if not....he wouldn't be sooooooooooo public. He wanted the $ and fame. He would have travvelled with Farrah. But he didn't.

[starsfound]

I don't blame Ryan for not letting him in. before Farrah died, Griffin was on a talk show talking about Ryan and this and that, so , It's his own fault he couldn't go in! also, Ryan probably didn't want any inevitable trouble at Farrah's funeral.

[dsrtflwr]

I hope Griffin will be there for Redmond no matter what. My heart goes out to Red, cause he is lost and needs love and help.

[linda8hart]

Griffin - I'm glad u are speaking up about your dad. I always thought Tatum was left flapping in the breeze when she told her story and people seemed to be against her. Stay positive and help Redmond. The 3 of you should come together as a family and stay away from Ryan. I believe you when you say that Ryan was looking for a payday. Boy, what will he do now???

[Muirmaiden]

Ryan is a douchebag. He treats his kids like dirt unless he has something to gain (Redmond inherited Farrah's estate, Ryan got nothing), which is why Redmond is the only one of his kids who he has stayed in contact with.

Griffin, Tatum, Redmond and Patrick all deserve a better father than Ryan O'Neal.

He resents Tatum and Griffin because they have exposed him for the asshole that he is.

Go Griffin!

[RJRanke]

@Muirmaiden

Griffin,Tatum and Redmond went through a lot because of their bringing up.

Patrick wasn't messed up because he has the best mother,Leigh Taylor-Young.I've always admired her for many reasons,including that she was a wonderful mother to Patrick and is a wonderful grandmother to Patrick's two daughters.

[onstageagain]

@Muirmaiden I desagree totally... Do U know these people personally ? Perhaps there is something Im missing?

[Muirmaiden]

@onstageagain , this is my personal opinion. He barred his son from a freakin' funeral! Which also means that his grandchild was denied access. I don't think much of a guy who abuses his kids. You are as entitled to your opinion as I am to mine.

[onstageagain]

@Muirmaiden I couldn't agree more. However, I'm not sure what abuse Ur talking about. I still don't agree with Griffin . I am sympathetic to Ryan.

[drasmiller]

I thought Greg was telling the truth, until I found the documentation that I presented on the blog. Griffin has unchanged what he has been saying for years. He has noting to gain, not dime one from the estate. He does have everything to gain, because his father has made him out to be the bad guy for years. its finally coming out what his father is truly like.

[drasmiller]

It was all true what Griif is saying and had said for awhile. You can't help a person who doesn't think they need or want help. As hard as that is to understand it's true. I wish I could understand it too.

[debbadepp]

Dr. Miller, You've said on your blog that Griffin and Greg Lott are working together to expose the truth, but now you're exposing Greg Lott as a liar and thief. Why should we believe what Griffin says, then?

[creolelady182]

Lets us not forget that Redmond is 24 years old. Farrah left 6 million dollars to him under a trustee. lets hope the trustee doesnt rip him off. But giving a drug addict that type of money-He will eventually distroy himself

[ConnieAnn1]

Or the money could really help him..Im shocked the amount was so low..6 mill is chicken scrap in hollywood..Where did you see the will creolelady?? Redmond can get his life together..Lets hope..Where is her 24 Mill going?? What a shame and waste..Ryan is real estate wealthy

[debbadepp]

Does everyone really think there is not another side to the story as far as Griffin is concerned? Why was Tatum allowed to attend and he wasn't? His wife and child were welcome, and he wasn't. Dr. Miller, If Griffin and Greg Lott knew of so many abuses done to Farrah, why didn't they help her when it mattered? Too little too late, or JUST NOT TRUE.

[ladylike1980]

O'Neal is going to see to it that Redmond is screwed up for life. The only think anyone can do for Farrah is help Redmond - and Redmond will be destroyed if he goes back to Ryan O'Neal.

Tatam (sober now) and Griffen (sober 4 years) need to get Redmond the hell away from LA and Ryan O'Neal. They should go to the Judge and insist that Farrah would want her son well and he'll never get clean with Ryan O'Neal who is the worlds biggest screw up and worlds worst father.

[drasmiller]

You got me, I am trying to figure out the Greg Lott relationship. I'm just so confused with so many questions.

[creolelady182]

So tell me why did Farah put up with Ryans bullshit for more than 30 years?

[debbadepp]

I guess, because she loved him. It doesn't have to make sense to us.

[gnulebin]

I believe Griffin tells the truth. One can clearly see how phony and, because of the circumstances of FF dying, how dark Ryan O'Neal is during his last interview with Barbara Walters. He remains a bad actor, and a destructive force. I hope Griffin and Tatum live the rest of their lives free from the poison and neglect their father inflicted on them. Do not let him win, guys. He is not worthy. You are.

[roisindubh35]

So true. In all his interviews,I have yet to see any actual tears fall from Ryan's eyes.

[sparklerocks]

"ouch"

I guess Ryan should of showed a little love.

It sure came back and bit him in the azz.

[Tones4me1]

Someone sent me a message 2 weeks ago saying "thanks for the messages" but my computer was acting up and it disappeared. Try again, please.

[Badfingerbabe777]

Does he mean Ryan didn't really love Farrah?? I have not read Tatums book yet, but I have heard the stories of abuse. What did Ryan do to Farrah? Was Remond abused also?

[Tones4me1]

Ryan was a Golden Gloves boxing champ. He knocked Griffin,s front teeth out when Griffin was a kid. I wondered about Griffin saying he was using Farrah until I saw a TMZ pix of Ryan, kissing a young woman as they were leaving a restaurant just hours after Farrah's funeral. Farrah would never agree to marry him so maybe she was fine with him having a girl friend on the down low. Who knows...

[Tones4me1]

I don't know about Redmond. Farrah probably wouldn't stand for that. She didn't like Ryan's temper and refused to marry him. But something if off with Redmond. Not a good environment.

[Tones4me1]

I would like to share something with Griffin and Tatum about events that affected them in their childhood. I spent time with them on a movie set.

Also met Griffin on the beach the day he got out of jail after the boating accident. He wanted to ride my horse but then his friends came up. I think that was a pivotal moment in his life. He should have rode off into the sunset instead of going with them.

[Badfingerbabe777]

Thanks for the info, it is awful and shocking news! Why did Ryan want to marry Farrah? I thought he had money of his own? Maybe it was more of a close friendship in the last years? would like to think at least she had Alana by her side.. I wish Farrah would have stayed with Lee majors, maybe he was a better guy, Ryan made a play for Farrah when she was Lees wife. That is not a good friend. I will have to read tatums book!

[Tones4me1]

I spent time with them many years ago so I don't know about his time with Farah. But we do know that she would not marry him. He was good at investing money but times are hard so maybe he needed more. I dated Lee 2 times and know what a jerk he is. I only hope that Tatum & Griffin find some peace in their lives.

[Tones4me1]

Griffin is telling the truth. Ryan has many secrets and both Tatum and Griffin know what they are. Hours after the funeral TMZ showed Ryan out to dinner and then kissing a young girl in the car as they were leaving. It was a long kiss. Hope Farrah didn't leave him a dime!

[gregzintx]

I do trust and believe this is very true.

Griffen O Neal, knows a hell of alot.

I trust it surfaces ,and all are held responsible for their actions that were not in Farrah Fawcett's interest, Farrah left Ryan in the late 90, and one day the truth of abuse, and financial neglect will surface.

RIP ANGEL
