Oscar-winning actress’ blunt response after being cut out of famous dad’s $30,000,000 will
Feb 28, 2025
Tatum O’Neal had a blunt response over being cut out of her famous father Ryan O’Neal’s $30,000,000 will.
The acting duo’s relationship had been tumultuous over the decades, with Tatum, 61, and Ryan going through large periods of estrangement.
The Little Darlings actor was left out of her father’s will when he died of congestive heart failure in 2023 aged 82.
When asked about being cut from his will, Tatum had a blunt response to the tense situation with her late father.
‘Keep it motherf****r,’ she said in an interview with Variety, opening up on what she believes the contributing factors were to their relationship breaking down.
Her son Kevin McEnroe, who Tatum shares with ex-husband John McEnroe, described his grandfather’s inheritance as ‘blood money’ and that his mother is ‘letting go of how much space he took up in her life.’
The star said she believes her first memoir, A Paper Life, caused friction between the pair after she spoke about Ryan’s violent outbursts and her experience of sexual abuse by one of his associates.
‘He was controlling, and telling me, “No, you’re not good,”‘ she said of her father. ‘And so then I started to get not good, feeling scared all the time.’
Tatum continued: ‘The first book that I wrote was just a f***ing honest book. And that’s what got him.’
She also went on to say that her father openly took drugs such as cocaine in front of her.
