Griffin O'Neal Rips Dad Ryan On "Larry King Live"

Ryan O'Neal's son Griffin tells Larry King he has all but disowned his father. "I call him Ryan now." He says he thinks Ryan banned him from attending Farrah's funeral because, "I guess I'm a bad guy."

He also described how one time Farrah caught Ryan cheating on her, and calls him "faithless".

During the show, Larry reads a statement from Ryan's publicist saying Ryan has had no relationship with Ryan or Farrah for years, but Griffin insists he stayed in the loop - even though the last time Griffin talked to his pop was "the night he tried to shoot me in the face."

"My dad is a very, very violent man," Griffin says.

@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?

Griffin turned out to be a kind hearted gentleman considering his violent dad. I feel sorry for Redmond too.

@8mycrab Griffen looks, speaks, and has the same facial expressions as Ryan...so, DNA waste of time. But all of this is really ugly.

Griffin is handsome and sexy as all get out! I think he needs a big hug!

@ElvisFreak77 All the O'Neils are trash. The apples don't fall far from the tree.

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!!!

Griffin is a prime example of how kids who grow up with showbiz parents end up screwed up.
