Ryan O’Neal is making the rounds, appearing on multiple television interviews to promote his new memoir. It mainly has to do with his account of his life as a husband and father.
In one particular harrowing story he describes a night where his son Redmond O’Neal threatened to stab himself if his parents would not stop fighting.
O’Neal has been repeating this story over and over again and his son Redmond has had enough!
Here’s what a source said:
“Redmond talked to his father on the phone on Tuesday and asked his dad to stop talking about him during interviews. Redmond isn’t a public figure, he shuns the spotlight and is extremely shy, and just wants to keep his private life out of the public domain. Redmond’s complex relationship with his father is one of his triggers in his drug use.”
Sounds reasonable enough, but we’re not sure the legendary actor is going to be so quick to comply with his son’s wishes.
In the interview O’Neal sounds pretty down and out. He can’t even remember Redmond’s name!
We’re so happy that the longtime actor has his cancer under control for now.
But if Redmond doesn’t want his father to talk about him, we think Ryan should respect those wishes.
What do U think??
