The kid is probably a punk, but this might be a little bit of overkill in the "tough love" department. :)

Tatum was very messed up for a lot of years - no thanks in part to her dad Ryan- apparently he was alternately abusive, neglectful and insanely jealous of her career. Like a lot of other Hollywood kids, notably Drew Barrymore and Mackenzie Phillips, she was thrown into the spotlight much too young, fed to the wolves and left to fend for herself by her self absorbed parents. No wonder she found herself in a marriage with an equally self obsessed and allegedly abusive husband.

I think Tatum’s been clean and sober for quite some time now and has worked hard to become a good mother to her kids and come to terms with her demons.

Didn’t Farrah also allege physical abuse?

He should take up rapping. His conduct would make him some bling fo sho.

I read the story. Ryan O'Neal is innocent until proven guilty.

Tatum's book is a very interesting and realistic look into Hollywood family values. While I think Ryan O'Neill is one of American's best light comedians, he appears to be a monster off-stage. He has beaten his son Griffin, Redmond and subjected Tatum to his many sleazy affairs with woman. Now his poor wife has a serious form of cancer and what's his solution? Fight with his poor, pathetic, benighted son.

At least he doesn't have to say, "I'm sorry". LOL

He can go into rehab and all his sins will be forgiven.

I used to know the first wife who is the mother of Tatum and Griffin. The drug addiction he has/had is not a pretty thing.

I've never seen Farrah Fawfett allege abuse by Ryan O'Neal. She was battered by a producer named James Orr in 1998, whom she promptly walked out on. She and O'Neal remain in touch, becuase they have an adult child of their own (Griffin and Tatum's mother was the late Joanna Moore).

Griffin O'Neal was given an 18-day jail sentence for not performing 400 hours of community service ordered by the judge who found him guilty of reckless boating in the 1986 accident that killed Gian-Carlo Coppola, the son of director Francis Ford Coppola. Griffin O'Neal also pleaded no contest to a drunken driving charge in 1989 and was sentenced to probation. In 1992, he pleaded no contest to charges he shot at his estranged girlfriend's unoccupied car. At the time, he agreed to spend a year in a live-in drug rehabilitation program and serve five years on probation.

An angel he isn't. Could just have taken after dad.

I'm not saying I agree. I'm not even saying it's right. What I'm saying is, I understand.

It seems to me that there was another wife, or girlfriend who had a child with him. I believe it was either after breaking with J. Moore, or it was before. Her name was Leigh Taylor Young. I can't remember what the child, a boy, was named. I think his name was Ryan also.

"Your kids may be more like you than you realize.'

Ryan seems to have forgotten who decides what old folks home he will be put into.
