Overview
- Ben Dreyfuss says he, Emily and Harry have been estranged from their father for years and received no money from him.
- He posted what he says is their last exchange, an alleged January 2024 email in which Richard wrote in all caps that it would be his final letter.
- Ben links the break to 2017, when he used Richard’s Twitter to support Harry’s allegation about Kevin Spacey, which he says preceded a separate accusation against Richard that the actor denied.
- In the published messages, Ben acknowledges calling his father a homophobic slur during a 2022 dinner and says he has tried to make amends.
- Emily Dreyfuss wrote that she is relieved the situation is public, and outlets report Richard’s representatives have been asked for comment with no substantive response so far.
