Ryan O'Neal has told Vanity Fair that he tried to pick up "a beautiful blonde" right by Farrah's casket at her funeral. The blonde turned out to be his daughter Tatum, that he didn't recognize. O'Neal gets more disgusting every year.

Liked Griffin O'Neal's quote about his father and I agree.

Ryan O'Neal Vanity Fair Interview

Yuch. He sure "looked" like the doting, beloved boyfriend these last years....no wonder she wouldn't marry him.

Disgusting Pig

She didn't marry him, but she didn't have to stay with him, either.

A person can treat you only as bad as you let them. After a point, the blame doesn't lie on just one person. After divorcing an abuser, those sentiments really rang true.

Yep, that's all true. Anyone watch Griffin on Larry King tonight? Didn't paint a very good pic of Ryan at all. But that's too be expected since they have been estranged for a long time.

Several words I can think of right now, disgusting, lowlife, weird, money hungry, out and out sicko. Here I am like so many others thinking wow, what a wonderful man to stay right there by the side of his lovelife, battling terminal cancer and then I read this,, Farrah rest in peace... We do sadly live in a sick world....No peace here. Catherine

OMG I always got the creeps about him. Now I know why!

He said it....here is the Vanity Fair interview. I guess he thought it was "funny".

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Ryan O’Neal confesses that he didn’t recognize the “beautiful blond woman” who he gave a big fat hug to at Farrah Fawcett’s funeral. He tells the magazine, “I had just put the casket in the hearse and I 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. It’s so sick.”

Me and thousands of others, if the major message boards are any indication. There's little doubt that he said it because (a) Tatum confirmed the magazine story and (b) Griffin confirmed the magazine story. Ryan hasn't refuted it so the reporter, Variety, his children, everybody's lying? Really?

Tell me, is this another one of your anti anything Opal posts or are you so really so enraptured with Ryan O'Neal that you're the kind of fan who LOVES him deeply and truly, no matter what? If you are, you should worship him silently because anyone that thinks Ryan O'Neal is anything but an opportunistic, drunken, drugged out, sleazeball who will do anything for publicity reveals themself to be rather stupid.

Griffin told Bennetts that Ryan'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. I consider him a vulture presiding over a carcass." I think Griffin's right. It was obvious from the beginning that Ryan was milking Farrah's misfortune for all it was worth and he turned HER suffering into HIS very public drama. Ryan turned her disease into the Ryan O'Neal show and it was all about how hard it was on HIM, how stressed HE was, how lonely HE would be when she died, HIM, HIM, HIM.

Guess you missed Ryan's derogatory comments about Farrah too or are they just more lies about dear Ryan? You know the ones - diva, belligerant when she drank, asking him to give up his life because she was losing hers? Guess he didn't like Farrah leaving her estate to Redman after all the work he put into to trying to get it. LOL.

Griffin O'Neal has made new allegations about his father and Alana Stewart, which I'm inclined to believe too. Normally, I take these things with a big grain of salt, but if untrue, his allegations are libelous and considering the industry in which they work, a huge monetary award would be assessed because it definitely damages their reputation in the public's eye's.

Griffin implied that his 'devoted' to Farrah father and Alana, 'dearest friend' to Farrah are having an affair and have been long before Farrah died. He believes it. Since Ryan and Alana keep showing up in public together, restaurants, awards, etc., it seems likely.

Griffin could easily get away with the clear implication of the two supposed 'devotees' having an affair while Farrah was on her deathbed but he also stated clearly, on television, that Alana Stewart was selling off Farrah's belongings on Ebay the day Farrah died! What a friend!

That's actionable and he'd know it so it's probably true. There's a rumour that Farrah's father caught Ryan and Alana in bed together while Farrah was dying in the next room. I don't know if that's true or not but maybe Alana will say in her new book about Farrah - the one that's rumoured to contain the content's of Farrah's diaries that just happen to be missing and are presumed stolen!

Ryan and Alana aren't wasting any time making money off Farrah's death. That book was rushed to press and Alana has Farrah shows lined up. Ryan will babble to any publication that will pay him so they're both keeping busy. I guess they need to strike while the iron's hot since that will thing didn't work out for them.

"I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it’s my daughter. It’s so sick.”" I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE FUNNY!!
Not I was trying to take her to the car and bang the hell out of her... Honestly I do not at all believe that he was hitting on her. The headline says that ONEAL SAYS HE HIT ON HIS DAUGHTER or some crazy ass **** like that... where does it say he HIT on her??
Again like everything else that has to do with Michael and Farrah, the media has run with it and people believe it as gospel!


And opal, you said 'Me and thousands of others, if the major message boards are any indication' If you take everything that message boards say as gospel I truly feel sorry for you.
And if you guys read and believe

yeah i read the thing about ryan saying that he hit on his daughter at farrah's funeral. I thought what a pig. how long has it been since he's seen his kids? that says alot about a person even if your kid is 40 you should still have contact with them even if you live far away and cant see them.

I do agree that he was just using bad judgment if anything. I do not think he was really trying to hit on her, but I don't know for sure what was going through his head, either.

I didn't say the content of major message boards was gospel - I simply answered your question about whether anyone believed that Ryan O'Neal really said these things and used the huge number of responses on the boards as proof that thousands of people believe he did say it.

You've gone from questioning that he even said it to excusing that he did and are now claiming aw, he just meant it as a joke and is misunderstood. Most people find it disgusting that (by his own addmission), Ryan tried to pick up (who he thought was) a strange woman while at the funeral of a woman he says he loved, loved, loved but obviously, you are a 'fan' in the strictest sense of the word and want to believe what you want to believe about him, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Nothing will change your mind so believe anything you want to.

The 'one percent' mentioned in the article shouldn't bother reading this opinion piece in which the author sums up Ryan O'Neal's strange interview. Warning - strong language

I've never liked Ryan O'Neal. It's not hard for me to believe it. Why in heck did he at almost 70 pose shirtless?!?!

When a parent, ANY parent, is arrested while doing drugs along w/ their child--I have zero respect for that parent! And Ryan was arrested at least once w/ Redmond.

As to the whole she didn't have to stay with him: They did break up. When she found out her diagnosis is when they became a couple again (if memory serves correct). When a person is faced w/ a potentially fatal diagnosis, they may not make clear headed decisions--further, they may turn to a person who offers them what appears to be support. Sometimes when you are sick, you just want people who will tell you what you want to hear around....
Farrah had issues.
and on a lighter note--who would want Ryan O'Neal over Lee Majors?? Really!

I haven't read much on it lately, but I have heard over the years they'd get together and break up. He obviously was a scumbag she needed to cut out of her life many years ago. His behavior now is most likely nothing new; not a surprise. She never had to go back with him any of the times. She had cancer the last few years, not the last 15. So yes, she allowed him to treat her the way he did. If they had dated the last 6 or 7 years and just broke up before her cancer came out and THEN got back togethr, yes, then I'd agree with your statement. But her lack of "clear headed decisions" in regards to a man and/or men have been going on for a long time. They met in the 80's, I think. That's over 20 years ago!

It's nothing new he treated her like crap. She started allowing it years ago - LONG before she ever had cancer. She just ended up with him yet again for another dose of scumbag.

As someone who lived w/ an abuser, how long did it take you to get your **** together enough to leave him?

As someone who was in an unhealthy relationship, how many times did you say "just one more time, and then I'll leave"?

As someone who was in an unhealthy relationship, was there ever a time (or multiple times) that you felt some or all of HIS bad behaviour was your fault?

How many times and how often did you overlook his faults because you loved him?
How many times did you forgive him--because he promised to change?(and they do "change" for a little while...)

Now, multiply that by about 10 if you shared a child or children w/ this abusive man....

People don't always make logical decisions even in the best of situations. Then throw in emotions like love (and sometimes we can't help who we love--not even if they don't love us back, or treat us like crap...) or fear of dying? It just gets more complicated.

Something I've noticed, women who have gotten out of abusive relationships can be particularly brutal and mean to women who may currently be in abusive relationships.

EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!
How yucky!!!!! Just reading it makes me feel dirty....

It's too hard to debate the fine points, every situation is different.

There can always be excuses for staying and returning. That can be done until the cows come home, so basically a woman can do that forever - and never be at fault? I can't fathom that at SOME point Farrah didn't know what a dirtbag this guy was. At that point if a person keeps going back, therein the fault lies. "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me".

I've known several women in bad - to - deplorable situations WITH children to get out. They stopped making excuses for being in the situations they were in. They decided to no longer be victims. I guess Farrah never did.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Farrah allowed Ryan to treat her the way he did, period. She would have to be seen as a poor, innocent little victim and I just don't buy into that.

"They stopped making excuses for being in the situations they were in. They decided to no longer be victims. I guess Farrah never did." I agree with this. She made one excuse after another for being with him and staying with him. When he was sick she was the first one on his door step. really does anyone truly know what happened in their home?? And again WHY does anyone care??

Dannic perhaps for a moment can you perhaps think or realize some regular people like us who are not famous get upset like this particular thread because as humans we have emotions and feelings and sometimes more then sometimes people like me are very sensitive to certain issues and because I am human and have feelings I feel for the stories. In reality of course I do not know these people personally but again for me personally I feel for the people because of my emotions. Honestly also Dannic I was not in Farrahs shoes and therefore cannot make a true understanding as to why she decided to stay with Ryan . With what Marilynk wrote alot if makes sense and sadly only the person who is in those shoes can decide what they can do. Of course it is always easy to past judgement on these people whether famous or not, but in the end as always life is always about choices, either you do the right thing or the wrong thing and only that person has to deal with it. Again personally I am a very emotional person and can easily get upset and I will be effected when a story likes this occurs. Some people can shrug it off easily I cannot, so to answer you question why so many people care I think that is the reason.. Either way Ryan O'Neal has alot of issues and he seriously needs help and hopefully one day he can make amends with his children, if not then that is sad, but perhaps as he said he was not mean't to be a father and perhaps that is true, either way again for me emotionally that is truly sad... Peace. Catherine

It almost sounds as if he may have the early symptoms of Alzheimer's or some type dementia. That just doesn't sound like something a sane person would do...I mean how could he not recognize his own daughter no matter how long it's been. I had not seen any pictures of her in years and years but then recently saw her picture and she looks like the same ol' person to me....it's not like she's changed all that much even since she was a child actor!
