Tatum’s history isn’t very good either.

Personal life
In 1986, O’Neal married tennis superstar John McEnroe. No one from her family attended the ceremony. The couple had three children: Kevin (born 1986), Sean, (born 1987), and Emily, (born 1991). They split in December 1992 and were divorced in 1994. Following the divorce, O’Neal’s drug problems re-emerged and she developed an addiction to heroin. As a result of her drug problems, McEnroe obtained custody of the children in 1998.[1]

On June 1, 2008, she was arrested for allegedly buying crack cocaine near her Manhattan apartment building.[2] When police searched her, they allegedly found two bags of drugs—one with crack, one with regular cocaine—and an unused crack pipe.[2] She was charged with a misdemeanor, criminal possession of a controlled substance. Authorities released her without bail.[2] On July 2, 2008, O’Neal pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in connection with the arrest and agreed to spend two half-day sessions in a drug treatment program.[3]

[edit] Autobiography claims
In her autobiography, A Paper Life, O’Neal alleged that she had been molested by a male friend of her father. She also alleges physical and emotional abuse from her father, much of which she attributed to drug use. She also detailed her own heroin addiction and its effects on her relationship with her children. Her father, Ryan, denied these allegations.[4] In a prepared statement, Ryan O’Neal said: “It is a sad day when malicious lies are told in order to become a ‘best-seller’.”[4]

O’Neal writes in her autobiography that when she was 13, her father took her and her friend Melanie Griffith (18 at the time[5]) on a trip to Europe, where she caught him having sex with Griffith in their hotel room. She also claims that when her father left for a movie shoot, she smoked opium with Griffith and then invited a male hairdresser and his girlfriend to their hotel room where the four of them participated in an orgy into which Griffith had dragged her.[6]
