Macaulay Culkin Reflects on 30-Year Estrangement from Father Kit Culkin

The actor reiterated allegations of abuse and resentment while discussing how his past shaped his parenting approach on a recent podcast.

Macaulay Culkin revealed on the 'Sibling Revelry' podcast that he has not spoken to his father, Kit Culkin, in over 30 years, maintaining a complete estrangement from him.
The actor has accused Kit Culkin of being physically and mentally abusive during his childhood, describing him as 'narcissistic' and 'the worst person' he has ever known.
Culkin believes his father resented him for his early success as a child actor, which he says contributed to their strained relationship and Kit's harsh treatment of him.
The estrangement extends to all of Kit Culkin's children and grandchildren, none of whom maintain contact with him, according to Macaulay.
Now a father of two, Culkin shared that his difficult relationship with his father has deeply influenced his own parenting philosophy and contributed to his personal growth.
