Redmond O'Neal continues his recovery out of jail

19 September 2009 9:40 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

The O'Neal family, headed by actor Ryan O'Neal, has been plagued by public transgressions with alcohol and drug abuse, and a particularly horrible accident caused by son Griffin O'Neal that claimed the life of Francis Ford Coppola's son Gian-Carlo, back in 1986. Son of the late Farrah Fawcett and Ryan, Redmond O'Neal, will be released from jail and continue his recovery in a Pasadena, California rehab for a minimum of one year, according to Fox news. Escaping a possible four-year sentence, O'Neal appeared in a courtroom in Santa Clarita, California and pleaded no contest to possession of a controlled substance. O'Neal will serve out three years probation, and if he violates probation, he goes to state prison for six years. »

Mela Murphy Shoots Down Rumors About Farrah Fawcett

12 August 2009 11:13 AM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »

Mela Murphy, Farrah Fawcett's former hair dresser and friend of more than 22 years, opens up to "The Insider" about Farrah's final days, her relationship with partner Ryan O'Neal, and claims made about the late actress by Ryan's son from a previous relationship, Griffin O'Neal. Mela addresses claims made by Griffin on CNN's "Larry King Live," which indicated that there may have been a secret affair between Ryan and Farrah's best friend Alana Stewart, and that Alana was selling Farrah's possessions on eBay. "I believe what Griffin said on 'Larry King' was hurtful for Ryan, extremely hurtful for Alana, hurtful for Redmond [O’Neal], and it doesn't enhance Farrah's legacy in any way, and it's not true," Mela tells "The Insider." She also says that Griffin was not at the condo nor had he seen Farrah in years. The worst claim made by Griffin, which Mela says is "completely false, »

Griffin told chatshow host Larry King: "I remember when she was diagnosed with cancer and my dad got upset and he goes, 'No, I'm dying. You're not dying. I'm dying.' And I said, 'Well, dad, that sounds a little selfish because you're in remission. You have been in remission for years now.'" The couple's estranged child (more) »

Stewart: 'O'Neal Affair Claims Are Despicable'

4 August 2009 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Alana Stewart has slammed allegations she embarked on a love affair with best friend Farrah Fawcett's longterm partner Ryan O'Neal - branding the reports "despicable".

The veteran actor's estranged son Griffin recently accused O'Neal of having an inappropriate relationship with Stewart as Fawcett fought for her life.

Ryan O'Neal and Stewart grew closer after rallying together to support the Charlie's Angels star as she bravely battled anal cancer - but Griffin O'Neal claims their friendship took a romantic turn in Fawcett's final months, before her death on 25 June.

He told In Touch Weekly magazine, "They were sharing a room together."

His allegations were backed up by Javier Salazar, a friend of O'Neal and Fawcett's son Redmond, who said, "Ryan and Alana's relationship was fishy."

Representatives for both O'Neal and Stewart were swift to deny the salacious claims - and now Stewart has taken aim at the people behind them.

She tells website GossipCop.com, “It never happened. Saying that is despicable.

"It's inconceivable anyone would say that. I would never do anything before, during or after Farrah's death. I was a friend of Farrah's for 30 years."

Stewart has also blasted Griffin O'Neal's claim that his father "was using Farrah for her money and fame", insisting that Ryan O'Neal "has never taken a dime from (Fawcett)" and had "always been generous to her".

She adds, "Ryan has plenty of his own money, more money than Farrah did."

Despite her anger over the allegations, the 64 year old has decided not to take legal action against O'Neal's estranged son: "There’s no point in suing Griffin, because it would cost tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees." »

Ryan O'Neal's eldest son Griffin has announced that he has forgiven his father. The Love Story actor recently banned the 44-year-old from attending Farrah Fawcett's funeral, while he later told the press that it was because his child was "a bad guy". The pair were allegedly involved in a physical row in 2007 that resulted in Griffin firing a gun into a stairwell, and was the reason he claimed for his dad being upset with him. Griffin told Larry King in an interview on his chatshow that he has forgiven his father for refusing to allow him to mourn the former Charlie's Angels star. However, (more) »

4 August 2009 1:09 PM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »

Griffin O'Neal, son of Ryan O'Neal, made some shocking claims on Monday night's "Larry King Live," but a source says those claims aren't true. Griffin told Larry that Ryan gave him cocaine as a child: "I was 11 years old when he gave me cocaine and said, 'We're going to see a long movie called 'Barry Lindon.' It's a very long movie. Maybe this well help you.' I was 11. I look down at my little 2-year-old and I go, you know what, I'm so sorry, but I could never, ever, ever do that to my child."

O'Neal Forgives Father

4 August 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Griffin O'Neal has forgiven his estranged father Ryan O'Neal for banning him from Farrah Fawcett's funeral - because he bid farewell to the actress in his heart.

The Love Story star barred his 44-year-old son from the service in June, telling reporters Griffin wasn't welcome because "he's a bad guy".

Griffin watched as his half-brother Redmond and sister Tatum filed into the cathedral, where they mourned the Charlie's Angels star, who died of cancer on 25 June.

But while Griffin is still not on speaking terms with his dad, he has accepted the decision and made peace with Fawcett's passing.

He tells U.S. talk show host Larry King, "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 goodbye to Farrah the day that she died.

"I said my goodbyes inside my heart and with the clouds and with the higher power that I believe in." »

O'Neal Slams Claims He Cheated On Fawcett With Stewart

15 July 2009 2:56 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Ryan O'Neal has blasted explosive new allegations he began a love affair with Farrah Fawcett's best friend Alana Stewart as his longterm girlfriend fought for her life.

The veteran actor's estranged son Griffin is one of a number of sources to come forward with the sordid claims, accusing O'Neal of having an inappropriate relationship with Stewart.

O'Neal and Stewart have grown closer in the last three years after rallying together to support the Charlie's Angels star as she bravely battled anal cancer.

But Griffin O'Neal claims their friendship took a romantic turn in Fawcett's final months, before her death on 25 June.

He tells In Touch Weekly magazine, "They were sharing a room together."

The 44 year old goes on to claim Fawcett's ageing father, Jim, once walked in on the pair in the bedroom after flying in from Houston, Texas to visit his ailing daughter.

Griffin adds, "It made Jim uncomfortable, so he packed his bags and went home."

His allegations have been backed up by Javier Salazar, a friend of O'Neal and Fawcett's son Redmond, who admits, "Ryan and Alana's relationship was fishy."

A former business partner of Fawcett's goes on to add, "Ryan and Alana are a little too cozy with each other. It is raising eyebrows. They both stayed at Farrah's (home) in the end."

Representatives for both O'Neal and Stewart have denied the salacious claims to In Touch, but have declined to comment further. »

O'Neal Banned Son From Fawcett's Funeral

1 July 2009 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Ryan O'Neal's estranged son Griffin O'Neal was banned from attending Farrah Fawcett's funeral on Tuesday - because he's "a bad guy".

Redmond, the actor's 24-year-old son by Fawcett, gave a reading during the ceremony at Los Angeles' Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels after he was granted a three-hour release from jail, where he's serving time on drug charges - but his half-brother was not welcome.

Speaking to U.S. news show Extra outside the funeral, Griffin O'Neal, 44, insisted Fawcett would have been upset he wasn't able to bid farewell to his father's longtime companion.

He said, "She's mad I'm not in there."

Speaking hours after the service, Paper Moon star O'Neal confirmed he refused to allow his son to attend the funeral, adding, "He's a bad guy."

Father and son have been estranged since the beginning of 2007 following a fight at the family home, which ended with Ryan firing off a shotgun into the stairwell. Reformed drug addict Griffin's 22-year-old pregnant girlfriend, JoAnne Berry, was injured during the fight.

Ryan O'Neal claimed his son grazed him "four or five times" with a fireplace poker, and that when he ducked to avoid the swinging weapon, Griffin "hit his own girlfriend in the head." »
