Ryan O'Neal Regrets Having Children
Farrah Fawcett's boyfriend also admits to hitting on his daughter.
Think Ryan O'Neal was a less than stellar father before? Farrah Fawcett's on-again, off-again boyfriend sat down with Vanity Fair for an interview in their September issue and spoke candidly about his torrid romance, parenting regrets—and accidently hitting on his daughter at Fawcett's funeral. "I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me," O'Neal said. "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. It's so sick." O'Neal went on to tell the magazine that he doesn't think he should have ever been a father, calling Tatum a "bitch" and declaring "I hate him" in reference to his son, Griffin. Griffin told Vanity Fair that O'Neal gave him cocaine when Griffin was 11 years old and insisted he take it. "He was violent all the way through my upbringing," Griffin said. "He was a very abusive, narcissistic psychopath. He gets so mad he can't control anything he's doing."
