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.

Yep, music producer Terry Melcher (Doris Day's son), Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson and Neil Young were all friends of Manson of varying degrees. Neil Young was a quite impressed with his music and thought he had great potential.
Such a nice friendly boy.
Just to be clear, who should grow up? Me? Or her?
If she was really so “devastated” by the discovery, she could have kept the secret to herself. But she did not — she ran to the media. To me, it looks like a thinly veiled attempt to boost her publicity.
Beyond that, if I found out I had some notorious ancestor, I would not be ashamed or apologetic, because its not my fault. And, yes, one positive, mature spin on it is to recognize that you would not exist if were not for them.
Sick.
That’s hilarious! Nicely done
Did they update her Wikipedia page?
I would just asked where’s my inheritance.
I’m so devastated to learn that Charles Manson is my Grandfather that I have no choice but to publicize and monetize the news.
That’s hilarious! Nicely done
Me, either. But I did find a young tart who ran away with a married man about 130 years ago. He left behind a young son and wife. They moved to Winnipeg from Iowa to avoid the law and got married there. He opened a livery stable and died from Glanders, a horse disease that can be picked up by humans. He was the first of two husbands she “lost.”
Does that mean you haven’t put your DNA into one of the famous search groups? They send out constant lists of how your mother’s brother’s grandfather’s aunt’s husband’s cousin was someone stunningly famous.
You don’t have to be like your grandfather.
Id rather not know than voluntarily submit my DNA to the FBI.
Show me photos of her cameras, let me judge.
” I was obviously very devastated “
Pretty much the same that Kedar said of Ismael, right?
Kedar is claimed to the progenitor of Mo-HAM-Head.
Read “Tales From the Canyon”
My cousin was friends with Charles Manson. Tripped with Manson on acid. Met him in jail. He took me to the ranch where the Manson cult was once. Very weird people walking around barefoot. He was in jail when the murders happened though and wasn’t really part of the cult.
Do I get any internet cred for this? No? No likes? That’s all that matters in life. /s
to lose one is unfortunate, to lose 2 shows carelessness
