Tatum O’Neal Reflects on Being Cut from Ryan O’Neal’s Will

The actress opens up about her father’s decision, their tumultuous relationship, and her journey of survival and resilience.

Tatum O’Neal revealed her reaction to being excluded from her late father Ryan O’Neal’s will, saying, 'Keep it, motherf---er.'
She attributed the exclusion to her 2004 memoir, which detailed allegations of abuse, neglect, and other troubling aspects of their relationship.
Ryan O’Neal, who passed away in December 2023, left behind a $30 million estate, including valuable assets like a Malibu home and an Andy Warhol portrait.
Tatum’s son Kevin McEnroe described the inheritance as 'blood money' and emphasized his mother’s focus on moving forward and finding success.
Despite a history of estrangement and conflict, Tatum expressed love for her father and acknowledged their partial reconciliation before his death.
