Source Refutes Griffin O’Neal’s Claims about Father Ryan O’Neal

Griffin O'Neal, son of Ryan O'Neal, made some shocking claims on Monday night's "Larry King Live," but a source says those claims aren't true.

Griffin told Larry that Ryan gave him cocaine as a child: "I was 11 years old when he gave me cocaine and said, 'We're going to see a long movie called 'Barry Lindon.' It's a very long movie. Maybe this well help you.' I was 11. I look down at my little 2-year-old and I go, you know what, I'm so sorry, but I could never, ever, ever do that to my child."

A source tells "The Insider" that Ryan would never give his young children any form of drugs.

Griffin also told "Vanity Fair" that Ryan hit on his daughter Tatum at Ryan's longtime love, Farrah Fawcett's, funeral. A source says that the come-on was "just a joke.”

Ryan's son also made the allegation that Ryan was using Farrah for her money. Nothing could be farther from the truth, a source says, noting that Ryan allowed Farrah to use his credit card, and also paid for bills.

  • Who is this anonymous insider? Ryan's publicist?! Pretty obvious Ryan O'Neal has narcissistic personality disorder... and that he's ruined his children's lives. We should all feel compassion for his kids who never stood a chance.
