7:07 That pic of Griffin looks almost EXACTLY like Tatum. And I heard Ryan say on Piers Morgan that he questions whether he is really his son. Wants a DNA test. LOL!!!
I just read o'neal banned some guy from texas who was her real boyfriend from her funeral. he also banned this guy? what kind of bozo is he? how many people did he "ban" from a funeral?
Analysts around the globe must be salivating wishing they could get the O'Neal in their mitts. That's dysfunction with a capital D. Ryan obviously is NPD, Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Tatum is BPD, Borderline Personality Disorder. And Griffin and Redmond simply turned to drugs to forget it all. I can't say that I blame them.
@lookiehere1994 yep one mixed up family. It is a known fact that Griffin has had a lot of problems in his life and so has his parents and siblings. He is far from a saint but aren't we all.
Ryan O'Neil is a washed up has been..........the ONLY thing that ever made him a man, a human being was to be a FATHER to his children.......he drove Griffin & Red away........Tatum is still looking to her father for approval........say goodbye, and don't look back at this shell of a man.
Griffin has really had it rough regarding his father. I remember when he was on the cover of the Enquire for his father knocking out his front teeth. For whatever reason Ryan has given Griffin the 1-2 throughout his life. Ryan is not a good father to him, and poor Griffen has done a great job of trying to reach out to his father and he keeps getting pushed away.

All three of Ryans kids are SPOILED, JEALOUS, UNRULY BRATS who have caused total turmoil in the family!!!...they are LIARS who over exaggerate everything to make themselves feel better for what they have caused!...anybody who speaks so dramatically like this PUNK is guilty and he cant shut the hell up as he continues to believe his own lies!...watching his sister crying and feeling sorry for herself cuz her daddy fell in love with beautiful Farrah is so stomach wrenching!
@funneecheez , umm, Ryan knocked out Griffin's teeth, punched Redmond in the face in public, and put a woman before his children when they needed him, left Tatum and Griffin with their emotionally unstable mother - sorry, but Ryan is no prize. He came onto his own daughter at Farrah's funeral was seen making out in the back of a car with a young woman after the service - I'm sure Farrah's father appreciated that - NOT! Farrah left everything to Redmond, not Ryan. Ever ask yourself why?
My heart breaks for all of them--so wounded and damaged. I think both children should give up the hope that their father will ever ask their forgiveness for his actions and try and mend their relationship starting with the here and now.
This is one very talented but extremely f--ked up family. Great stuff--from Ryan's sexcapades, to Farrah's predilections for posing nude, to the drug and alcohol problems, to the violent outbursts, to the kids' estrangements then reconnections, to Ryan and Farrah's cancer "competition"--it has all the scandalous trappings of a great Hollyweird saga. Someone has to turn the whole Fawcett/O'Neal family drama into a movie.
Farrah, a strict Catholic? LMAO, Griffin is on one because strict Catholics don't live with partners for 17 years, they marry. I like Farrah Fawcett, and I believe Griffin's story in basis, but come on.
One kid turns out bad? OK. But when they're ALL fucked up? Who ya gonna blame? You blame the parents. Although, after watching this interview, if Griffin was my son I'd smack him too.
I'm glad that Ryan's dad actor Patrick O'Neal and Tatum's other brother from actress Joanna Moore hasn't been mentioned.
At least someone in this family isn't involved in this televised free for all.
From what I see, I like them all. I also think that they are all telling the truth...their truth. They believe their own stories so much that they are true to them.
every fucking o'niel is a crazy, fake, self pittying fuck; Tatum, Griffin, Ryan, not sure about redmond. . .but probably him too. Ryan O'niel should have chopped his nutz off 50 years ago
@DanielTheWalrus OMG I sort of remembering that story! I used to complain about the older people in my family (the women in particular) but they were only low women in high heels...these people should just all revive their acting careers. Get paid for being strange and stop going on t.v. to prove that they are strange.
@DanielTheWalrus which was an ACCIDENT! Ryan's abuse of his children and who knows who else was done on purpose. So, Griffin is an Asshole because he killed someone on accident? LOL, nice.
@angelwithanattitude the only part he left out was that red was tied up to the hand rail of the stairs. Red was set on getting to the drugs but griff was doin his best to keep red from relaps. When ryan saw red tied up he flipped out, not knowing wtf was goin on.
I don´t know, but there is something weird about this interview. It seems like he doesn´t tell it all. Very possible, that Ryan made many mistakes. But what about Griffin? Did he never make mistakes? Did he never take drugs? Did he get money for this interview? It is possible his dad Ryan traumatised him, like he says. But the way he tells his story gives the impression that he omits things to make himself look 100% perfect and his dad 100% evil. I doubt this is the whole truth.
The day Griffith was released from jail he was taking a walk on the beach and I was riding my horse. We stopped and talked a while. He asked if he could ride my horse, as I was thinking about it, some friends of his came up and offered him a beer. I always wished I had of let him ride because maybe he would have not met up with those guys, it would have been better for him. Nice kid, mean father, Tatum is sweet also.
@JeanneCaprice I think it's so true that Ryan was almost jealous of Farrah's illness. Which is sick. Then again, he was also jealous of his own daughter when she won the Oscar and he wasn't even nominated. I don't know how Farrah stayed with him for so long. I do feel sorry for him sometimes, but it seems he has not learned anything at all from his mistakes and he is 70 years old now! Grow up and show some caring for your children - or for someone besides yourself.
From what i remember the reason she left lee majors was because he was abusive and very controlling on her. i believe lee majors is divorced for the same reason, and he was jealous of Farrah's success.
@PatriotBabe, find any incidents reported where Lee was abusive to Farrah. I suspect you won’t. The extent of “control” amounted to her finishing work on the Charlie’s Angels set by 6.30pm & advice on her career, based on his own experience. I know, shocking stuff, isn’t it – the idea that a husband may give his wife some advice. Friends confirm that Farrah was no pushover and made her own decisions. Ultimately, the concentration on their careers caused them to drift, and then Ryan appeared.
@zinnia617 I dated Lee Majors and can tell you he is has a very mean personality. Don't let that cute smile fool you.
His wife took their young twins and went to visit her parents. Lee started taking a new girl home every night, showing them the empty closet, saying they had split up. Then People Magazine came out telling them that she had just been on a vacation...and they were right. What an ass. Farrah could really pick 'em.
@Tones4me1 Since they divorced when the twins were just shy of two years old, I think it's a fair guess the marriage could very well have been on the rocks at the time, Maybe, you just caught him at a bad time in a failing marriage. Either way, you were both adults and made your own choices.
@zinnia617 I can tell you she had no idea that their marriage was on the rocks. The fall out from several women who did not like being duped like that was not easily hidden. Malibu is a small town, not too many well kept secrets there. So I stand by my statement. He was an ass. And my choice was based on his story that they were no longer together, which was a lie.
@Tones4me1 Oh okay, so this was going on in Malibu? We better ignore the fact that they lived in Florida with their twins then; don't want certain facts to complicate things. And I didn't actually realise you talked to his wife, how else would you know she had no idea. Well, it all begins to fall into place now...not.
@zinnia617 You have no idea what was going on. They lived in the same house he has lived in on the beach for many years. That is not to say he did not have a home in Florida also, having multiple homes is not unusual but when this happened he lived in the Colony in Malibu. Period. And the kids were just a few months old at this time. AND he was a constant patron of The Baha Cantina and everyone knows everyone's business. Malibu is only 4 miles wide and 26 miles long. Small world.
@Tones4me1 Yes, maybe I don't, but maybe it is because without any effort you can find they sold the house in Malibu where Lee had lived for 8 years in late 1991 and the twins were born in Florida a year later in 1992. Malibu may only be 4 miles wide but there seems to be a gulf to bridge to make this story add up.
@zinnia617 Not sure why you are working so hard to prove what a great guy Lee is, must either not know him OR you do. What makes you think he can't live in a house he sold? Ever heard of renting? Especially since selling the house keeps it out of an impending divorce. If you know him so well then ask his older son how many times he would go out with his dad,only to have dear dad take off with a woman, then pick dad up afterwards to drive him home...as if they had been together all night.
@zinnia617 Again, you are short on facts. Ryan didn't just appear. Lee thought he and Ryan were great friends, so when Lee was going out of town he asked Ryan to spend time with Farrah, so no other guy would try to pick her up. Lee just didn't think Ryan would make a move on Farrah...but we know how that all worked out in the end.
@Tones4me1 Well, it's not really my aim to defend him; he's a grown man and needs no help from me. No, I just find this evolving discussion mildly interesting. So now, we have Lee selling a house, then renting it back in order to use it to carry on behind his wife's back, not forgetting the house, although sold, could be kept out of any impending divorce settlement...even though it's already been sold. And to think the man managed to fit in filming a series in Hawaii at the same time.
@zinnia617 Just stick to things you really know about. If you weren't there, just admit you did not know what was going on. I am amused that you don't realize that homes sell all of the time and are rented back for the convenience of the seller. Try calling your local real estate broker, they will fill in you. End of story. Bye.
@zinnia617 I can tell that you must not have much exposure to the world of big money. You have no idea that people live in more than one home or move around the country at will, just because they can, or what the roll of real estate brokers is about. Do you think they just show you a home and sign the contract? I bet you do.
Why did she leave Lee Majors? Ummmm, maybe because he left her alone for 50 weeks out of the year (1978) to battle a lawsuit so that he could become a "movei star". (He was filming various flops) Who in their right mind would leave a woman that gorgeous alone in LA and to do battle with Lawyers? And she could not really go anywhere alone or even not alone....it was about the height of her fame. So Lee was a jerk too! At least Ryan picked up Farrah and put her career back on track.
Ryan O'Neil could not wait until Farrah was in the ground before he was hitting on another woman, his daughter! Can you believe a lower life than this? That he would hit on any woman during Farrah's funeral let alone his daughter? What a piece of trash! She should have stayed with Lee Majors!
He is doing exactly what he says his father did to him. Trashing in public for being in the media for a couple of minutes. With so much anger and hate around really no wonder Farrah got sick. RIP
It is hard for some people to fathom having a father like this, but I once did and now he is thankfully dead. I believe Griffin completely. NARCISSISTS are horrible, crazy, shallow, emotionally abusive/destructive and sometimes violent people that damage many lives. I stupidy fell in love with one this year and they are cold, selfish, uncaring, and will dump you without a tear shed. Beware of these vampires! Ryan is a monster, as are all these narcissists.
If you read sisTatum's autobio., " A Paper Life", don't do when you're at a down place in your life. Ryan (& even Farrah) were 2 of the most narcisstic, abusive, neglectful people you may ever hear of. Their biological mother was a sad case, too, but not at the level of the evil Ryan. Paper Moon was a fav film but now I can't look at Ryan anymore w/ any respect. It's nothing short of a miracle that Tatum & Griffin came through this alive & successful.
I doubt he is lying...in my opinion... the only thing he is not telling the truth on is why the charges were dropped on Ryan for attacking Griffin and his girlfriend/wife. Ryan was charged but the charges were dropped due to Griffin and his wife not willing to testify. Because Ryan was forced to come out his pockets to settle the case. This is why he wasn't allowed at the funeral. He outfoxed the fox... good for him...he was a terrible father... he should pay restitution for just that alone.
This guy is LYING. Yes Ryan O'Neal is the human incarnation of Evil but this guy isnt being 100% honest. The story about Redmond thinking "no one loved him" Was a complete lie you can here his his voice change during certain parts of this interview which indicate he is Lying.
It's a well known fact that Ryan O'neal popped Griffin in the mouth years ago, and Griffin lost a tooth. Ryan is SCUM, and he always has been. He hit on his own daughter, and he cheated on Farrah many times, and he stole Farrah from Lee Majors. Men, watch your wives, Ryan's a free bird now! It wouldn't surprise me if he went after Alana Stewart. Everyone knows that Ryan has ALWYAS been violent.
Of all the women Ryan O'Neal had children with,there is only one left alive...Leigh Taylor-Young(Mrs.O'Neal #2)who raised Ryan's only sane child,Patrick.(He is now a sports announcer and has two daughters.)
I don't like any of these people(except Farrah).This has got to be one of the weirdest Hollywood families ever!How old is this guy(the son)?He doesn't seem to have much control over his feelings.
Is it me... What is wrong with this guy. I don't believe a word he says. I do believe that Ryan is crazy too...but it looks like crazy runs in the family.
I do believe most of his story (about scumbag Ryan), but he's lieing about NOT going to the funeral. There is footage of him entering the church where Farrah was laid out with his wife and 2 yr. old son. He may have meant he wasn't allowed at the BURIAL.
yeah he did but that was also many many years ago when he was 22 years old...not to say that he doesnt deserve blame for it, but with a fucked up father like Ryan Oneal I'm proud of him for being able to turn his life around. 3 of Ryans 4 children wont speak to him, the only one that will is the youngest, Redmond. The one that he is loading up with dope and alcohol everyday just like he did with all his other children.
@Bimm3rcc he was a teenager at the time..probably had aggression issues... due to having a complete animal for a father..aggressive people love speed... love chaos..love excitement... he was negligent.. and it was a very terrible tragedy.
In 1986 a boating accident took the life of Francis Ford Coppola's son Gian-Carlo Coppola. O'Neal, who was driving the boat, attempted to pass between two slow-moving boats, failing to realize that the two boats were connected by a towline. While he barely had time to duck, Coppola was struck, throwing his body to the metal deck, sustaining head injuries
Actually frickadele you can know by years of experience with people. Look into O.J's background. His dad left when he was a child. Look into the background of any man who hits his wife/gr.frnd. when sober & you'll find a man with no father or a father who drank too much. A hetro man does not disrespect women that way. His own daughter talked in her book about how he was a "Momma's boy". I'm telling you something's wrong there...
I can't understand how such a class act as Farrah could let such a man into her life, Sure I could see it when they were younger. But surely she had to see how he treated his kids, Who would want a child with that man, Can't even raise his own kids right, Then cops out and says I should have never had them, What a gutless Man. No Dignity! The fact that she left him nothing in her will says it all. Deep down she knew what he was all about. I feel sorry for her son , He needs a real Dad.
@RJRanke When young, both Lee and Ryan were hunks. But Farah was married to Lee, and to desert her marriage for another lover broke the anti-adultery Commandment and disqualifies her from being, as Griffin says, a Catholic who insisted on Catholic proprieties; also, as Catholicism forbids divorcee remarriage or nonchastity.
Ryan O'Neal is a lowlife. Treats his kids like dirt and uses people for money. Farrah is a prime example, good thing she left everything to Redmond. That's probably why Ryan only stays in contact with Red.
Griffin and Tatum, and probably Redmond too have been through hell. They sure deserve a better father.
I hope Redmond gets on the right path and that Tatum and Griffin continue to take the high road. Let Ryan rot all by himself. Go Griffin!
I'm so glad to know that Farrah left her whole estate to Red instead of Ryan.This explains why Ryan is now calling Red a "Con Man". Good for Farrah to take care of her own! Ryan knocked Griffin's front teeth out when he was just a kid.
Griffin comes across as very sincere after going through HELL-- let's face it, Ryan knocked Griff's teeth out when he was only a kid!!! I believe him. Ryan O'Neil has a decades-old pattern of abuse, violence, and drug abuse so cannot be trusted.
Griffin O'Neal killed Gian-Carlo Coppola, son of Francis Ford Coppola. Ryan O'Neal may be one sick human being, but as they say, like father like son.
Griffin O'Neal, who was driving the boat, attempted to pass between two slow-moving boats, failing to realize that the two boats were connected by a towline. While he barely had time to duck, Coppola was struck, throwing his body to the metal deck, sustaining head injuries.
It was a horrible accident that was not intentional. Plus they were both drinking and thought it was a good idea to get on a boat.
I've been there before, Add alcohol and everything seems to be a good idea.
im sorry for farrah to have ever loved him..i always felt he detroyed her along with everyone else around him..if its true about alana then she desrves it after filming farrahs last days
Ryan , i/m/o , is a great example of what happens when a gay man can't admit he's gay. Not being able to sustain interest in 1 woman, & acting macho...
i really feel sorry for Tatum and Griffin...Ryan is a disgusting crazy person...

I know, shocking stuff, isn’t it – the idea that a husband may give his wife some advice. Friends confirm that Farrah was no pushover and made her own decisions. Ultimately, the concentration on their careers caused them to drift, and then Ryan appeared.

@zinnia617 I dated Lee Majors and can tell you he is has a very mean personality. Don't let that cute smile fool you.
His wife took their young twins and went to visit her parents. Lee started taking a new girl home every night, showing them the empty closet, saying they had split up. Then People Magazine came out telling them that she had just been on a vacation...and they were right. What an ass. Farrah could really pick 'em.
Tones4me1 7 months ago
@Tones4me1 Since they divorced when the twins were just shy of two years old, I think it's a fair guess the marriage could very well have been on the rocks at the time, Maybe, you just caught him at a bad time in a failing marriage. Either way, you were both adults and made your own choices.
zinnia617 7 months ago
@zinnia617 I can tell you she had no idea that their marriage was on the rocks. The fall out from several women who did not like being duped like that was not easily hidden. Malibu is a small town, not too many well kept secrets there. So I stand by my statement. He was an ass. And my choice was based on his story that they were no longer together, which was a lie.
Tones4me1 7 months ago
@Tones4me1 Oh okay, so this was going on in Malibu? We better ignore the fact that they lived in Florida with their twins then; don't want certain facts to complicate things. And I didn't actually realise you talked to his wife, how else would you know she had no idea. Well, it all begins to fall into place now...not.
zinnia617 7 months ago
@zinnia617 You have no idea what was going on. They lived in the same house he has lived in on the beach for many years. That is not to say he did not have a home in Florida also, having multiple homes is not unusual but when this happened he lived in the Colony in Malibu. Period. And the kids were just a few months old at this time. AND he was a constant patron of The Baha Cantina and everyone knows everyone's business. Malibu is only 4 miles wide and 26 miles long. Small world.
Tones4me1 7 months ago
@Tones4me1 Yes, maybe I don't, but maybe it is because without any effort you can find they sold the house in Malibu where Lee had lived for 8 years in late 1991 and the twins were born in Florida a year later in 1992. Malibu may only be 4 miles wide but there seems to be a gulf to bridge to make this story add up.
zinnia617 7 months ago
@zinnia617 Not sure why you are working so hard to prove what a great guy Lee is, must either not know him OR you do. What makes you think he can't live in a house he sold? Ever heard of renting? Especially since selling the house keeps it out of an impending divorce. If you know him so well then ask his older son how many times he would go out with his dad,only to have dear dad take off with a woman, then pick dad up afterwards to drive him home...as if they had been together all night.
Tones4me1 7 months ago
@zinnia617 Again, you are short on facts. Ryan didn't just appear. Lee thought he and Ryan were great friends, so when Lee was going out of town he asked Ryan to spend time with Farrah, so no other guy would try to pick her up. Lee just didn't think Ryan would make a move on Farrah...but we know how that all worked out in the end.
Tones4me1 7 months ago
@Tones4me1 Well, it's not really my aim to defend him; he's a grown man and needs no help from me. No, I just find this evolving discussion mildly interesting. So now, we have Lee selling a house, then renting it back in order to use it to carry on behind his wife's back, not forgetting the house, although sold, could be kept out of any impending divorce settlement...even though it's already been sold. And to think the man managed to fit in filming a series in Hawaii at the same time.
zinnia617 7 months ago
@zinnia617 Just stick to things you really know about. If you weren't there, just admit you did not know what was going on. I am amused that you don't realize that homes sell all of the time and are rented back for the convenience of the seller. Try calling your local real estate broker, they will fill in you. End of story. Bye.
Tones4me1 7 months ago
@Tones4me1 Bye, an interesting discussion, if incomplete. Just off to check with my real estate broker, as you do.

@zinnia617 I can tell that you must not have much exposure to the world of big money. You have no idea that people live in more than one home or move around the country at will, just because they can, or what the roll of real estate brokers is about. Do you think they just show you a home and sign the contract? I bet you do.

Why did she leave Lee Majors? Ummmm, maybe because he left her alone for 50 weeks out of the year (1978) to battle a lawsuit so that he could become a "movei star". (He was filming various flops) Who in their right mind would leave a woman that gorgeous alone in LA and to do battle with Lawyers? And she could not really go anywhere alone or even not alone....it was about the height of her fame. So Lee was a jerk too! At least Ryan picked up Farrah and put her career back on track.

I stupidy fell in love with one this year and they are cold, selfish, uncaring, and will dump you without a tear shed. Beware of these vampires! Ryan is a monster, as are all these narcissists.

If you read sisTatum's autobio., " A Paper Life", don't do when you're at a down place in your life. Ryan (& even Farrah) were 2 of the most narcisstic, abusive, neglectful people you may ever hear of. Their biological mother was a sad case, too, but not at the level of the evil Ryan. Paper Moon was a fav film but now I can't look at Ryan anymore w/ any respect. It's nothing short of a miracle that Tatum & Griffin came through this alive & successful.
LindazEyes 1 year ago 2
I doubt he is lying...in my opinion... the only thing he is not telling the truth on is why the charges were dropped on Ryan for attacking Griffin and his girlfriend/wife. Ryan was charged but the charges were dropped due to Griffin and his wife not willing to testify. Because Ryan was forced to come out his pockets to settle the case. This is why he wasn't allowed at the funeral. He outfoxed the fox... good for him...he was a terrible father... he should pay restitution for just that alone.

He hit on his own daughter, and he cheated on Farrah many times, and he stole Farrah from Lee Majors. Men, watch your wives, Ryan's a free bird now! It wouldn't surprise me if he went after Alana Stewart. Everyone knows that Ryan has ALWYAS been violent.

@RJRanke When young, both Lee and Ryan were hunks. But Farah was married to Lee, and to desert her marriage for another lover broke the anti-adultery Commandment and disqualifies her from being, as Griffin says, a Catholic who insisted on Catholic proprieties; also, as Catholicism forbids divorcee remarriage or nonchastity.

Ryan O'Neal is a lowlife. Treats his kids like dirt and uses people for money. Farrah is a prime example, good thing she left everything to Redmond. That's probably why Ryan only stays in contact with Red.
Griffin and Tatum, and probably Redmond too have been through hell. They sure deserve a better father.
I hope Redmond gets on the right path and that Tatum and Griffin continue to take the high road. Let Ryan rot all by himself. Go Griffin!
