Griffin O’Neal, son of Ryan O’Neal, stepson of Farrah Fawcett and half-brother of Redmond O’Neal, made a skin-crawling appearance on Larry King yesterday.
What did the money-hungry fame whore have to say? Some of the “highlights” (and you may need some anti-bacterial Hollywood soap wash:)
On not being allowed to attend Farrah’s funeral: “I guess I’m a bad guy. Ryan didn’t want me in. I call him Ryan now because I had to let go of him as being as my dad. Not that he was ever really a dad. He said no. No Griffin. Even my daughter was allowed in. It was OK because I said my goodbye to Farrah.”
On the last time he saw Farrah: “I had not seen her until the day before my father tried to shoot me in the face.”
On his father’s anger at Farrah having cancer: “I remember when she was diagnosed with cancer and my father got upset and goes, “No! I’m dying! You’re not dying! I’m dying!” The attention had to be diverted to Farrah and he didn’t like that. He’s an absolute and complete narcissist in every way.”
On Ryan and Farrah’s relationship: “It was bombastic. He was faithless. He had no faith. She walked in on him and he was with some other woman. She told me.”
How did Ryan respond to these shenanigans? Ryan’s “people” issued a statement:
“Griffin has not had a relationship with Ryan for Farrah for many years, therefore he would have no knowledge of what was going on in their lives.”
Heartwarming.
The fact that he took this pathetic rant to Jerry Springer’s show just slimes it up even more. I’m sure that some of what he claims has some basis in fact,but please…don’t take it onto national tv. Out of respect for Farrah,they should all try to clean up their acts. It’s probably what she wanted second most. First would be for Redmond to get sober and stay that way. As for Ryan,Griffin and Tatum, if you can’t fix the relationships,fine. Just keep it out of the national news. Think of Farrah.
I’d say Griffin wants the truth out about his narcissistic personality disordered parent. He has obviously had a hellish upbringing and wants to talk about it. If you don’t like hearing unpleasant truths, don’t watch – but the man has every right to tell his story. Good on him for speaking out against abuse.
