Griffin O'Neal: Dad Ryan Made Me Take Drugs At Age 11
Posted on Tue Aug 4, 2009 10:00 AM PDT
After Ryan's own admission to Vanity Fair that he hit on his own daughter at Farrah's funeral, son Griffin O'Neal spoke out about his "psychopath" dad last night on Larry King Live.
“Ryan didn't want me in. I call him Ryan now. I've had to let go of him as being my dad, not that he was ever really a dad. But he said, no, no Griffin. Tatum, Patrick, even my daughter was allowed in. It's OK. I said my good-bye to Farrah the day that she died.”
Griffin says he had not seen Farrah since "the day before my father tried to shoot me in the face." (Best quote ever, BTW.) The assault charges were ultimately dropped against Ryan, who vehemently denied that attack, but the more Ryan talks, the less inclined we are to believe him! Griffin went on to explain the situation that night, where, according to him, he was trying to help his drug addicted younger brother and got a fireplace poker in the side for his trouble. "My dad's a very, very, very violent man," Griffin told Larry.
Griffin, a recovering addict, explained how his dad introduced him to cocaine when he was only 11. “I was 11 years old when he gave me cocaine and said we're going to see a long movie called 'Barry Lyndon.' It's a very long movie. Maybe this will help you. I was 11."
Griffin also implied that the relationship between his father and Farrah's best friend, Alana Stewart, is more than friendly, another claim that Ryan's denied.
O'Neal's publicist released a statement to Larry King saying, "Griffin has not had a relationship with Farrah or Ryan for many years. Therefore, there is no way he would have any knowledge of what was going on in their lives.”
Here's Ryan looking like the world's greatest dad at lunch in Malibu yesterday with a mystery woman...wonder if he met her at Farrah's funeral?
No one knows exactly what's true, and Ryan can deny all he wants, but it's clear all of his troubled children have one thing in common - a horrible father.

This druggie has NO credibility at all. He didn't even see Farrah for the last few years of her life. He has sold stories on his family for years. He needs to get a clue and get lost.
i wonder if the "Farrah fawcett: e! true hollywood Story" tomorrow night will show how much of a jerk he is or if it's going to cast him as a good light. this guy's an d*bag.
Let's see. ALL of Ryans kids are drug addicts. ALL OF THEM. I completely believe this story for several reasons. Ryan is a meth head and has been doing meth for a long time. Ryan is an attention seeking scum who sullied Farrah's memory by spouting off to Vanity fair about how he came onto his daughter thinking she was some Swedish blonde. Farrah casket had not even been placed in the ground yet and he was coming on to someone. He has a history of being a jerk, a drunk and a mean bastard. Yup, even though his oldest son is a recovering addict, i completely believe this story because Ryan doesnt have any scruples.
I believe Griffin. So he's a drug addict. Big deal! The whole family are addicts.
I definitely believe every word he said. Ryan has always been a jerk, and I think he's gotten worse with age. It's so strange that he jumped in after Farrah was diagnosed, knowing there was a good chance she was going to die. No one can tell me he wasn't after attention and her money. After all the stories we've heard on him through the yrs., they can't all be false. All three kids are messed up, and as deep into drugs as Ryan was, there's no doubt who got them started. Him and Farrah use to have knock down,drag out fights. Ryan's well known to the cops, and seriously, I don't know how he hasn't spent time jail. He's spent days here and there, but no long periods of time. He strikes me as a hateful,spiteful, very mean person.
I feel so sorry for all of Ryan O'Neal's kids. Griffin's tales are little different than Tatum's.
The Vanity Fair interview he gave shows what a piece of work he is. What decent dad calls his daughter a bitch and says he wishes some of his kids weren't even born?
It's tragic that Fawcett encouraged other women to leave abusive men but stayed w/her own abuser.
Oh, dear God, hopefully it's not true that Alana Stewart betrayed Farrah with O' Neal. That is just too dark and ugly. People can be so vile. It's sad what becomes of people as they age. Ryan O'Neal as a young man was handsome and full of promise. Now he's just grotesque and monstrous. The son is in a lot of pain and hopefully he is decent to his own loved ones and isn't passing on the abuse.
FYI to all you haters out there, Ryan has a son that's not an addict and is actually a success. But that's a boring story right?
