Ben Dreyfuss Publishes Alleged 2024 Email, Says He and Siblings Are Estranged From Richard Dreyfuss

Ben's Substack post shares an alleged final message and frames the family rift as tied to MeToo-era fallout.

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.
