O’NEAL’S SON BLASTS DAD OVER FAWCETT FUNERAL
RYAN O’NEAL’s estranged son GRIFFIN has launched a bitter attack on his father after he was banned from attending FARRAH FAWCETT’s funeral on Tuesday (30Jun09).
Father and son fell out in 2007 following a fight at the family home, which ended with Ryan firing a shotgun into the stairwell.
O’Neal banned his reformed drug-addict offspring from his partner’s memorial service, insisting: "He’s a bad guy." But Griffin was left fuming because he wanted to be able to pay his last respects to his dad’s partner.
He says, "I think he’s afraid of me because I know the truth about what happened in the later days. He’s a dark man and he needs to be put in his place. The reason why I’m not there is because I represent the truth and God forbid the truth coming out." Speaking outside the funeral, Griffin told reporters, "She’s mad I’m not in there." The Charlie’s Angels star’s own troubled son with O’Neal, Redmond, gave a reading at the ceremony after he was granted a three-hour release from prison, where he’s serving time on drug charges.
Fawcett died last month (Jun09) after a three-year battle with cancer.
