Her DNA search results went helter-skelter.
Filmmaker Sophia Maddox broke down in tears when she and her father, Daniel Arguelles, learned from an online ancestry search that his dad was one of America’s most notorious criminals — Charles Manson.
“I was obviously very devastated,” Maddox, 26, exclusively told The Post. She recalled feeling “dumbstruck” and “sobbing.”
“My dad was just rubbing my back and holding me, and telling me we were nothing like him. But it was a little traumatic,” she added.
Co-directed by Maddox and Alexandra Orton, the Hulu documentary, “My Grandfather Charles Manson,” follows Maddox as she looks into Manson’s past, struggles with her fraught relationship with her father, and interviews former Manson family members such as Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme and Manson trial prosecutor Stephen Kay.
Arguelles was born in 1959, when his mother, Darlene, was 17. She met Manson at a bus stop when he was going by the name “Charlie Dear” and the pair had a one-night stand.
Manson — who was convicted of seven counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder, including the horrific 1969 slaying of the pregnant Sharon Tate — died in prison at 83 in 2017.

Some people have all the luck.
There are no famous people in my ancestry.
Do you think she still uses film?
Well, on the other hand, if not for Charlie, they would not exist.
I was obviously very devastated,” Maddox, 26
Grow up
There was a story sometime back that Manson was a kill product of MK-Ultra. In which case his evil might NOT have been genetic as much as created by Nazi experimenter working with/for the CIA after World War II
If I recall correctly, Charlie also had Maddox family members in his ancestry. Talk about family trees that start to resemble a wreath... X.x
There, now the story has some meat!
un-becoming your parents.
Well, at least she found a way to cash in on it.
You just haven’t looked hard enough.
Yep
Manson was well connected within the Hollywood/Music crowd.
She was so devastated she made a Hulu documentary.
Nevertheless, she’s cashing in.
My recollection was that Manson wasn't even there when Tate and her friends were killed. On the other hand, Linda Kasabian who was present, never went to prison.
Yes; many prominent filmmakers still use physical film, led by high-profile directors like Christopher Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese. While digital cameras dominate modern movie production, celluloid remains a deliberate creative choice for prestige and aesthetic reasons. Reddit.
She was so devastated she had to tell everybody!
She obviously saw OPPORTUNITY.
Such drama. The day before she found out, Manson would still have been her grandfather. Nothing has changed.
