Parenthood is not always easy. Just ask Ryan O’Neal, who is fighting a losing battle, to be a part of his son, Redmond O’Neal’s life. Redmond O’Neal is the product of Farrah Fawcett’s relationship with Ryan O’Neal. Fawcett was an iconic actress who was loved by many during her time.

Her posters adorned walls of teenage fans, and her fashion ideals were copied by the fashionable women of her time. Indeed, Fawcett enjoyed true fame. However, her personal life was not as excellent. 

Fawcett was never married to Ryan, but he was a constant source of angst in her life for several decades. Unfortunately, problems between them pale in comparison to their son, Redmond O’Neal, issues. 

His tough battle with addiction was a cause of concern for Fawcett. She worried about him until she drew her last breath. A friend who was with her in her last moments said: “She was saying his name, ‘Redmond. That was the last thing she said.” 

While she drew her last breath, Redmond was in a residential rehab facility, fighting an addiction that eventually led him to a mental institute. Keep reading to learn more about him and how he is now.

How Did Ryan O’Neal Introduce Redmond O’Neal to Drugs?

Redmond’s drug problems are allegedly tied to his relationship with his father, Ryan. According to his half-sibling Griffin O’Neal, Ryan introduced Redmond to drugs, and the two regularly party together. 

He said: “My dad just let him do whatever he wanted to do, supplied him with cash for his drugs, supplied him with everything.”

What Happened to Redmond O’Neal? 

Redmond O’Neal has been battling substance abuse and psychological problems for quite some time. The first time he checked into rehab was in 2004 when he sought treatment for heroin addiction. Four years later, he pled guilty to drug possession and misdemeanor DUI.

Redmond got arrested for drug possession again some months later, along with his dad. In 2009, he was once more nabbed for possession and “bringing narcotics into a jail facility.” 

After that, he checked into rehab but was immediately kicked out after drugs were found in his room and system. In 2010, he completed a drug court program and promised to turn a new leaf. 

He said: “My plan is to move forward with my life, clean and sober.” But it didn’t take long before he returned to his destructive habits.

In 2015, he was sentenced to three years in jail after violating probation one too many times. By 2018, Redmond was charged with robbing a 7-Eleven at knifepoint and possessing drugs. He has also faced charges of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, brandishing a knife, and battery after “he randomly attacked five men, seriously injuring at least two.”

How Much Money Did Farrah Fawcett Leave Her Son Redmond? 

Farrah Fawcett passed on at 62 after a battle with anal cancer. The “Charlie’s Angels” star left most of her fortune to her only son Redmond.

The total amount the talented actress left behind for her son Redmond is about $4.5 million. The rest of it was shared between her other family members. 

The will read: “According to the document posted only, the couple’s lone child together, Redmond Fawcett O’Neal, will receive the most cash of any person named in the will: $4.5 million. Fawcett also left $500,000 to her nephew, Gregory Walls; $500,000 to her father, James Fawcett.”

Did Farrah Fawcett’s Son Go to Her Funeral?

Yes, Farrah Fawcett’s son, Redmond O’Neal, attended her funeral. But he did so in shackles. Fawcett caught her battle against anal cancer on camera, and those home videos she made were what became the documentary “Farrah’s Story.”

It aired on NBC just before her demise in 2009. In the videos, Redmond appeared in cuffs at her deathbed in a staged farewell. At her funeral, he was also a pallbearer, but he was still shackled.

What Is Redmond O’Neal Doing These Days?

Redmond O’Neal is still reportedly in a mental institute where he receives treatment. According to some sources, Redmond has been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. 

His father has confirmed that his boy does not have the makings of a thug, lending credence to the fact that he is genuinely suffering from the previously mentioned disorders. 

Ryan O’Neal said: “He’s just a sap, and he knows it. He’s been in rehabs all over the United States and Mexico. We’re just thankful he doesn’t have HIV.”

Ryan has been trying hard to be there for his son like he promised Farrah Fawcett, but Redmond wants little to do with him, so their relationship remains conflicted. Fans hope the family can figure things out so they can move forward.
