Ryan O’Neal spilled his guts in an interview with Vanity Fair about his kids, including hitting on his own daughter at Farrah’s funeral and his life with Farrah Fawcett.
The couple had been together for a couple of decades but he left her in 1998 for a younger woman and because Farrah was going through menopause:
”I believe Farrah was going through some kind of life change. I didn’t have a change of life. I was always a jerk. But they’re hard work, these divas; I was sick of it, and I was unappreciated. I just don’t think she liked me very much. So I excused myself, and I was lucky enough to meet this young girl. She was more a daughter to me than a lover, and my own daughter had flown the coop, so here was this replacement.”
Farrah actually walked in on him and the girl on Valentine’s Day no less:
“It was terrible. I didn’t expect to see her down there. I tried to put my pants on, but I put both legs in one hole.”
Nice guy. Farrah gives him the best years of her life, and because she’s going through something she has no control over he leaves her. You’ve gotta love it. It’s not like he morphed into George Clooney as he got older, yet she stuck by him. And to show just how dedicated he was to Farrah, he hit on his own daughter at Farrah’s funeral:
“I had just put the casket in the hearse and was watching it drive away when a beautiful blond woman comes up and embraces me. I said to her, ‘You have a drink on you? You have a car?’ She said, ‘Daddy, it’s me — Tatum!’ “I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it’s my daughter,” O’Neal said. “It’s so sick.”
Can you say douchebag? Speaking of kids, he hates his and when asked if he regrets having them:
“A couple of them I would take back. I don’t think I was supposed to be a father,” “Just look around at my work — they’re either in jail or they should be,” ”I’m not in touch with them now, and I’ve never been happier.”
Redmond, the son he had with Farrah is the only one who he keeps in touch with, but Redmond considers his dad a “narcissistic psychopath” and thinks he tried to get rich on Farrah’s death:
“All those crocodile tears! I consider him a vulture presiding over a carcass. My dad’s only goal was to make sure he would be in the will, it was so disgustingly transparent as soon as he found out she was terminal . . . Ryan thought he was going to get everything.”
Ryan does have regrets about his life with Farrah:
“I wish I could do it over with [her], I would have been much kinder, more understanding, more mature. I’d lose some of the savagery.”
Do you think? On the one hand, I have to hand it to him for his honesty, but those unkind words about his kids serves no purpose other than to further alienate them.
