Tatum O’Neal Speaks Out About Overcoming Addiction: ‘I Felt Morally Bankrupt' | Megyn Kelly TODAY

[@dawnanderson9645]

I met her at a celebrity show and she was just as gracious and as nice as could be! Love her! Always have!

[@alexanicolejoel2168]

AND THEN PEOPLE STILL TRASH HER, SHE HAS COME A LONG WAY, WHY CAN'T PEOPLE LEAVE HER ALONE? 🌹

[@PBFR91]

This interviewer is so insensitive and rude. Describing Tatum's mother as if all she ever was was an addict. It's clear that Tatum's still in pain. But Kelly doesn't seem to give a crap... Tatum is beautiful and very brave given how she was brought up and the "father" she has to deal with. And she's right, people rarely take the time to understand. They only judge

[@deborahhoffman7394]

PBFR91 Very true. Tatum has some wonderful insights into her family and herself. I am proud of her for continuing to speak out so honestly.

[@denisemarie6029]

Me too! My thoughts and prayers are always with all of Ryan’s kids. I was so happy to see their reunion photos a few weeks ago. I did notice, she didn’t look like she felt very well then. Hang in there my friend! Everything is temporary!

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

Tatum, your mother was so talented. Her voice was incredible on andy griffith. I couldnt believe how beautifully she sang that song. A first-rate songstress. Such a beautiful, gorgeous woman. I am so sorry she had such pain and tragedy. I read that your mother's mother, father, and sister all died in a one-car crash. (the father a couple days later from the injuries). I also read she worked hard to eliminate her southern accent. Oh no! I loved her accent so much on andy griffith. It is so wonderful to hear you honor your mother so much. She still gives me a great deal of pleasure. I honor her so much.

[@cmcb09]

I always enjoyed Joanna Moore's work as well, Tatum is a stunner perfect mix of her mother and father.

[@smallworldafterall09]

Your words....perfect. (Brenda Anne Du Faur) Everything I would want to express about the very lovely Joanna Moore. I only wish the producers of The Andy Griffith Show had cast her in more episodes. We were robbed! Such a talent. And I can only hope that one day Tatum sees this. Your mother was loved and most appreciated. The Andy Griffith Show is one of my all-time favorite shows and the episodes your mother was on are beautiful. You are lucky - you look exactly like her! :) I have so enjoyed following your career, as well. I just read both of your books and enjoyed them. Your honesty and openness about your growing up years is brave. Best to you-

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

@@smallworldafterall09 To Sam Smith: it is so wonderful to hear people being a witness to Joanna Moore's beauty and talent. She had the most incredible figure. Such a great beauty. She had a unique quality as an actress. Like she was effortlessly floating and tilting to the sun. She was a total natural. I have never heard an accent like she had. Sheer exquisiteness. Sheerly unique. I could have listened to her all day reciting the phone book. So great how Tatum is standing up for her mother and honoring her.

[@AnnetteMay1221]

When I was a 10 year old girl living in Riverside, CA in 1974, I watched the Oscars. I watched Tatum O'Neal win for best supporting actress. I turned to my mother and said, "Mom, I want to win an Oscar just like Tatum O'Neal. We had seen "Paper Moon" and we liked the film. So my mother says, "Oh, you want to be on TV?" I said, "No, I want to be in the movies". So she got me an agent named Betty Ruby in Hollywood. They took a bunch of photos of me and picked out the best of 4 in 1 photo to get me started. I ended up moving back to IL where I was born. I think Tatum is one of the coolest people around!

[@Marcel_Audubon]

congratulations on your Oscar! #LoweredExpectations

Ms. Kelly - An alcoholic IS an ADDICT....(addicted to booze) I love Ms. O'Neal.....however, addiction can only be arrested.....not overcome (cured). Pick-up the first time and game on....let the chaos begin. I wish her well....she's wonderful....

[@fastfoodreviewcoffeeandelv9470]

She’s a beautiful girl

[@alexanicolejoel2168]

SHE SURE IS 💯%

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Tatum to Megyn: "I'll just stop you there ..." good for her, Megyn had summed her mom up in two words: addict and alcoholic, and Tatum did not let that go unanswered.

[@mperry1329]

@Marcel Audubon I agree with you there and I liked how she corrected Megyn regarding her mother, she wasn't going to sit there and agree with Megyn and she did it in such a way where she wasn't rude about it but she wanted to set her straight on the facts Tatum is so confident and mature in many of her interviews and Megyn isn't really sincere when she speaks or interviews these actors. She pretends to be but she just doesn't get it right.

[@KatharinaK117]

Well ..thts wht she was.

[@KatharinaK117]

@@mperry1329 Kelly is a Demon. But drug ADDICTION is not a disease. Sure she says so. But it's a moral choice. Plain n simple.

[@mperry1329]

@Katharina K. Really? What makes Kelly a demon, I am intrigued that you said that. As for drug addiction being a disease, I am on the fence about that. I can't see it being an disease, it is called a disease because so many psychiatrist (sp) and physicians have written thesis papers and research about it and so THEY call it a disease. But I think that an addiction is an addiction and I cannot see the result as it being a disease because if you call it a disease it makes one not face that it was their choice to try the drug in the first place. So I just call it an addiction and that is that. The drug creates the addiction, but I can't see it as it being a disease.

[@mperry1329]

I wanted to listen to more about Tatum O'Neal's life and growing up and how she feels now. I didn't know that she felt morally bankrupt throughout her life. I found her to be so talented at such a young age. I mean she won an Oscar at 10 and she was so popular growing up. I wanted to hear more about her addiction and when it started. This upload doesn't give enough time to really listen to the actor's life and I haven't seem her for such a long time. I think that she is very talented and should have received more roles as she got older.

[@alexanicolejoel2168]

TO ME SHE WON THE OSCAR WHEN SHE WAS FILMING PAPER MOON, AT 8 YEARS OLD! 🌹 LOVE U TATUM 🌹

[@michelthor4117]

Good interview Tantum.

[@natalieps2387]

It's amazing how good things look on the outside to what's really going on. Her parents were gorgeous looking people. I saw photos of them as a family ryan joanna & their two kids tatum & griffin who are " irish" twins about 10 months apart & they looked like this beautiful all American family that could be on a magazine cover all 4 w/ golden hair & green & blue eyes. So sad that it only lasted a couple years. I was horrified & disturbed after reading Tatum's book. Joanna had a horrid life herself & got hooked on speed like other actresses in the old Hollywood studio system & never got clean. She was such a non functioning parent that ryan got full custody of the kids which in the 60s was very rare for a mother to lose her kids. Ryan immediately put them in boarding school where they would have been better off away from both parents. Some people just are not meant to have kids. I honestly give tatum & griffin so much credit for surviving literally their childhood. Ryan is a malignant narcissist who mentally physically & emotionally abused his kids. Read her book it's all there. Also in the many years since the book came out others have confirmed things tatum has said. Redmond went on a violent crime spree a few years back & last I read he was not fit to stand trial b/c he has " wet brain " & his i.q. & motor functions are diminished from the severe drug abuse that started at age 12 when the brain is still forming completely. So 3 out of his 4 kids that he directly raised all have had serious drug problems since childhood & all have been arrested at least once. Redmond literally was on his 15th rehab when a paper life came out 15 years ago. Also the 3 kids came from 2 different moms so the common denominator is ryan. The one child he did not raise turned out normal b/c his mom had custody. I'll never understand why Farrah would have a child w/ a man like ryan when she saw first hand how he treated his 2 eldest children. He actually just left them to fend for themselves at 15 & 14 ! & moved on to farrahs. I think when farrah & ryan split she had no idea how to handle 13 year old redmond who was already an addict. She really should have demanded custody of that child. The judge let the kid decide where he wanted to live & he chose Ryan's house b/c to was no rules & could do all the drugs he wanted whereas Farah from what I gather was not a drug addict or drinker It's sad how cycles continue. Tatums mom lost custody of her kids & then tatum lost custody of her kids. Tatum also married john McEnroe who has grown up a lot & seems like a together mature person now but when he was young it's funny tatum married this fiery controlling irish american like her dad , although I think john was a way better person & parent on his worst day then Ryan on his best day. I wish tatum the best

[@stephaniels5421]

Tatum is a truly gifted and talented actress, but her life has been no picnic. If you have read her books, it's no wonder she had struggles with addiction. I'm a recovering addict and she's absolutely right about it not being a moral issue. I am grateful to her for shining a light on that.

[@sarahjohnson8514]

Her father was a narcissist and then she married one. Watching the Oprah series with her dad - it’s very obvious her dad’s supply source is incredibly low and he uses Tatum as his primary source of supply. Very sad to see. The way Ryan speaks to his female ‘friend’ is also beyond disgusting. Ryan is only now pretending to want to help Redmond because Farrah was smart enough to leave all of her money to him.

@Juan Franco Di Lorenzo I disagree, I didn't see that about her. I was interested in her as a human being and wondered why she went through so much as a person. I went through some very painful things myself and was thankful that I had some good friends to hold me up because my parents were not there for me either and I was trying to figure myself out too and these were very difficult times, I didn't have a drinking problem but I did drink socially but not to the point where I needed help because I was really out there on my own needing to work 3 jobs at a time but I did have eating disorders that were not addressed and other problems. But I can see that Tatum did have to address these problems on her own and I can see that she is a sad person.

[@helenal.7881]

You are right. Its NOT a disease. Real diseases afflict people at random. At no choice of their own. Drug addiction ALWAYS starts w a choice. And a bad one at that.

[@suey8227]

addiction is a disease. This is highly misunderstood. Yes, people are responsible for their actions, but it is also proven through medical science people with addiction issues are wired differently. People who have no such issues do not understand how addiction can take a life of its own. People who are alcoholics and drug users never start out thinking they are going to get addicted. They start like anyone else, usually in a social setting with friends, but quickly their lives spiral out of control. Unlike the social user who can take it or leave it. once the person identifies they have an issue , yes, it's up to them to fix it, but once it takes hold it's not always so easy to do so.

[@shariboyd7922]

Suey frist you have your own opinion. Second maybe you need to read up . They say it's a disease so that insurance companies will pay. Again it's not cancer kidney disease people do not choose to have a disease people choose to drink and do drugs. You nor anyone else will change my mind. I think it's disgusting how people use that for an excuse I do not feel sorry for any addict they will steal anything that's not there's plus they steel your love and your life. So maybe you should get your facts right.
