The Price Is Right? O'Neal Sits Down With Today
Ryan O'Neal has finally touched on his last days with Farrah Fawcett, in a sit-down interview with Today's Meredith Vieira on Tuesday morning.
Wonder what took him so long???
Waiting for the highe$t offer, perhaps??
O'Neal shared the strength of Farrah's fighting spirt through her final days of battling anal cancer.
"[Doctors] thought that she would live just another couple hours, and she lived a couple of days," Ryan told Meredith on Today.
He continued: "So I had a bed put in the room for me. And I just lay by her side. She wouldn't — move on. She wouldn't pass."
He also discussed Farrah's final moments quite candidly: "[Farrah] just looked at us with a slight smile, and then all the machines flat lined. She was gone."
So, so sad.
But why share such a personal moment with the public???
O'Neal revealed to Vieira that their incarcerated son, Redmond O'Neal, was extremely remorseful that he was unable to see his mother before her passing but now has "a wonderful plan in mind to restore order in his life."
When Vieira questioned Ryan about the grieving process, he said that he and his son are going through the grieving process together and the outpouring of love from the public has kept his spirits lifted.
O'Neal concluded: "I'm using what she taught me to survive, to go on. I have launched into this massive job of answering the mail that has come in for her over the last few weeks… Hundreds and hundreds of letters of pain and sorrow and hope. I'm answering every one of them. That's my life now."

HEARTLESS PEREZ!!!
farrah herself shared alot of personal moments with the public and was planning on sharing more. were'nt they making an second part to her documentary…she wanted to share with the world how awful the fight with cancer is…she was truly a brave woman and needs to be remembered for love of her friends and family, her courage to show the world how horrible cancer is, and how brave she was to put herself out there in the worst part of her life….RIP…
Perez your a dick. Who cares if he took to long to talk public about farrah. maybe he just wasnt ready. Grow up dude
NOT EVERYONE IS FUCKING AFTER MONEY YOU IDIOT. I am so sick of you perez
Well maybe if he had asked her nicely to just go on and pass, she would have. What an idiotic thing to say. He sounds disappointed. Sometimes people should just STFU!
Perez's first question: What took him so long to talk about his last days with her
Perez's second question: Why share such a personal moment with the public?
O.K. so let me see if I have this right. You wanted him to come forward with it sooner but when he does you criticize him for coming forward with it. Nice.
You should of used a better picture. Sad.
Re: WrongAnswer – If you're so sick of him, why do you keep coming to his site, and making him money?
Re: jpoindahouse – I see no criticism in the second question.
Re: CRABBY APPLETON – 1. Mario didn't distort anything in that brief statement from Mr. O'Neal. 2. If he's such a loser, why do you come to his site to make money for him?
"Wonder what took so long?" Are you really that stupid Mario….
Most of his interviews during all of this have centered around him. Maybe that's why his kids have had such a tough time getting their lives together. Children need the attention.
maybe it was painful, douchebag. and why is he talking about such personal things? because they are public people and he realizes people are interested and cared for her. you invade peoples lives every day. shouldnt you know that?
Re: LizardKinG – i can answer that….. YES
Grieving lmfao…He's in the rags hitting on every girl in sight on the beach. Douche bag lyer.
Re: Games4Stress – Because Im at work 5 days a week. Plus I enjoy creeping on his site and read his pitty remarks. Hes going to end up getting majorly beat up….
CMON CHRIS BROWN..BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA PEREZ IF YOU WANT A NUMBER 1!!!
Ryan O'Neal is a douchebag
jesus Christ, the Jackson's put on a shit storm of public "grieving" aka "money grabbing" and it's okay, but O'Neil does 1 interview, and you think he held out for the highest paid money?
You are an ass.
sick of the
D E A T H
thing…too
much…everyone
haz 2/cazh in….sickning.☻
Leave Perez ALONE he's only saying what you have been thinking. Yeah you know it's true.
Ryan O'Neal is is a TOOL!! He got his kids started on drugs, he gets in fist fights with his sons & he ignores his daughter on top of gossiping about her. What father would refuse to let his oldest son attend his stepmothers funeral then tell the press "he's a bad guy" when leaving the service.
Re: anniegirl – There's not a better pic of Ryan!
I agree with Plezzz….Not only is he still in the early stages of grief, no one wanted to hear from him because the press was too pre-occupied with Michael Jackson.
Ryan O'Neil was after Farrah's money in the end, get real people the guy is scum bag.
The Today Show doesn't pay for interviews.
Who knows why he's just now talking about Farrah's last moments? It could be out of respect for her family, or something as simple as he's grieving and he's only now able to talk about it. Whatever the reason, suggesting that he was waiting for the highest offer of money is disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself, Perez. Not everyone is as money hungry as you are.
this guy has always given me a bad feeling. look into his "friendship" with farrah's best friend…it's VERY shady. this guy is milking her even after death.
Perez come on.. You cant possibly be that heartless can you? I mean fucking hell the love of his life just died. SOME people cant even speak for a LONG time after losing a loved one. Not everyone is out of the almighty dollar.
Oh, please! This guy is a major asshole. He milked Farrah's death to the very end. He brought his girlfriend to the the funeral service. There are pictures of them at the beach a few days after Farrah died.
Re: CRABBY APPLETON – Crabby my dear that was excellent!
Well said.
RYAN O'NEAL is a piece of SHIT! Not b/c of this but he used her her entire life! Read Tatum's auto biography
…when he sits down I hope that the sofa is well constructed.
Re: NativeNYer –
Exactly
Very bad photo of Ryan O'Neal. He was so handsome in "Love story" with Ali MacGraw. But that was 40 years ago, of course…
My my, you are a heartless prick Perez. Who said money had to do anything with him not coming out and opening up about his feelings. He just lost his partner. If you lost your long time partner, I don't think you'd be running to the hills and sharing your last moments with the world.
and btw, stop being such a fucking hypocrite! You wonder why he hasn't come forward sooner, stating that MONEY is the reason why, and then you criticize him for saying anything at all.
You need to get a fucking heart…Remember, what you say has ramifications. I think you need another slap in the face prick!
"Wonder what took him so long???" Um, perhaps he wanted to greive privately before he started healing publicly?!?!
.
You are SUCH AN ASSHOLE!!!!
Well said RAdamsIsAGod!!! Loved Tatum's book her dad is a turd.
Patently stupid. If she had lived another 10 weeks or months, that would have made her tenfold times "braver" and "stronger"? what is brave about that, it wasn't under her control, and it's damned sure no quality of life. "Shut off the machines!" says a brave person….and who gives a rip how Ryan and his bonehead son are doing, people die all the time, in difficulty and hardship. It's nothing original, this whole "dying" thing, DUH!!!!! Everyone does it at some point! She was lying there in a big house in a nice bed, and she stopped breathing. Big whoop. She didn't "pass," she died. I wish O'Neal would too, so we wouldn't have to hear from him any more. I hate the popular media, giving attention to this garbage when "real" issues need spotlighting.
so why the fuck am I reading this site then????? DUH!!!!
you suck perez!! your so cold hearted!
It's not all about money!! Ryan is still acting! he has a reacurring role on the TV show Bones, and he's really good on it too!
it's hard to lose someone you love, i lost my dad when i was 11 and it was really hard!i saw this interview this morning and it was sad, he looked like he was going to cry a couple of time, you could tell it is still hard for him to talk about Farrah's passing.
I wish Ryan and Redmond the best as they grieve Farrah's passing.
Maybe Ryan was waiting for some of the Michael Jackson hub-bub to die down so the focus can be on Farrah for awhile. Farrah's death was greatly overshadowed by Michael's that day. That was a sad week.
Ryan O'Neal is scum.
The way he treated his daughter, Tatum O'Neal, when she won the Oscar for Paper Moon was disgusting. He was a jealous asshole of a 10 year old? Then took her to parties with drugs? What father does that?
He still does drugs with his children, apparently.
He's a self-centred, selfish asshole who cares only about himself.
soooooooooo sweet
Enough! Ryan O'Neal is a horrible man whose deceiving public image covers up a drug addict who pulls his children into a life of crime and drugs before they are old enough to drive. Redmond isn't the only one, remember Tatum? She still has drug problems.
Do some research and report on the real Ryan O'Neal, then report on that.
Regardless of what any you think about Ryan O'Neal… that was absolutely a mean spirited and disgusting thing to say. To suggest that he waited for the biggest$$ offer for an interview is just disgusting. You go around criticizing what others (like Miss California) say and the things you say are 10 times worst. What a way to make a living… absolutely disgusting…
Not Cool Mario.. He has probably has been DEVISTATED.. Your mean
"What took him so long"? Are you serious? Perez, sometimes, my man, you just blow my mind with the level of shit you spew.
