Ryan O'Neal released to ET his response to a lawsuit by a man who claims he is responsible for the Farrah Fawcett documentary that is set to air on NBC tomorrow.

 

Craig Nevius is alleging in the suit that O'Neal and Farrah's friend Alana Stewart forced him out of the TV special and "interfered with Nevius' ... contractual relations and rights."

Paul Bloch, a rep for Ryan and Farrah, tells "The Insider," "He [Ryan] finds this lawsuit deplorable and disgusting. They're shocked at this unconscionable act being done as Farrah fights for her life. Ryan is devastated. We hope and pray that Farrah does not know of or see this lawsuit in the condition she's in right now."

Nevius filed the lawsuit against O'Neal, Stewart and others on Wednesday. The filmmaker is responsible for filming the actress' life in 2004 in a documentary that aired called "Chasing Farrah."

  • Another person trying to make some money from some one's life as they are fighting to live. People are so money hungry these days that a Hollywood family can not live each day they have with a loved one without someone trying to get their hands on...
