Ryan O’Neal has shed some light on his bizarre, dysfunctional relationship with daughter Tatum. Speaking Vanity Fair about the loss of his love Farrah Fawcett, O’Neal mentioned this disturbing story:
“I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me. I said to her, ‘You have a drink on you? You have a car?’ She said, ‘Daddy, it’s me–Tatum!’ I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it’s my daughter. It’s so sick.”

Tatum told this to the magazine:
“That’s our relationship in a nutshell. You make of it what you will. It had been a few years since we’d seen each other, and he was always a ladies’ man, a bon vivant.”
I think I speak for everyone when I say “Ew”. They’ve always had a tough relationship and this just highlights that. It’s a very…odd story. I’d be interested to read more about this when Vanity Fair hits newsstands.
