The drama never ceases with this family. In 2008, Ryan and Redmond were arrested together for suspicion of crystal meth possession. In 2007, Ryan was arrested after a fight with another son...

The saddest part about this story is that Redmond is currently at Impact, which is a drug and alcohol treatment center. The rehab facility had given him his first 24-hour pass and he ran off and reportedly got high.
When he returned back to the center, the staff noticed he wasn't the same and had probably gotten high.
He was taken into custody on Dec. 29 on a felony charge, reports Radar Online.
He is due in court today for an update with the judge and he now faces up to six years in jail because of his previous arrests and probation violation.
Just another sad lost soul!

The document, which was last updated on August 9th, 2007, dictates that she leaves $4.5 million to her son Redmond O'Neal, and $100,000 to one of her ex-lovers named Greg Lott. Ryan, her best friend Alana Stewart, nor Craig Nevius are mentioned anywhere.
Farrah also leaves $500,000 to her nephew Greg Walls, $500,000 to her father James in the will. She says she wishes to die at home, which we now know did not happen. Farrah died on June 25th at St. John's hospital in Santa Monica, California.
So why would Farrah leave the people closest to her in her final days out of the will? Perhaps we’ll get answers if the second part of the documentary ever gets released. Alana is pushing to get it made along with Ryan.
In addition, Lott spent the past few months of Farrah’s life claiming to various media outlets that he was her secret boyfriend. He told a British newspaper he last spoke to her April 9th and says that Ryan banned him from seeing her. Sounds like there’s more to the story than what we just saw from the documentary.

Redmond’s attorney said in a statement, "Redmond has embraced recovery. All of his reports are extremely positive. He has taken huge steps towards his new life.
"This has been a very challenging time for Redmond. He lost his mother while in recovery. He loved his mother dearly and that was extremely hard on him. It would be challenging for anybody, much less a 24-year-old coming to grips with his addiction and recovery."
Judge Jane Godfrey of Los Angeles Superior Court echoed that statement, saying Redmond was "doing extremely well."
O'Neal is due back in court Sept. 30 to face charges related to a DUI arrest earlier this year and his subsequent probation violation, but it is likely those charges will be dropped upon the successful completion of his rehab treatment.
Hopefully this experience will be a big wake up call for Redmond, and he’ll be on the straight and narrow!

According to sources, Redmond showed up to a courtroom in Santa Clarita this morning for a hearing and pleaded no contest to possession of a controlled substance.
Under the deal, he must complete one year in treatment at residential rehab at Impact in Pasadena, CA. He’s also on three years probation, and if he violates probation, he goes to state prison for six years.
O'Neal won't be released to Impact until Commissioner Godfrey at the Airport Court signs off on him being transferred to Impact in Pasadena, CA. Redmond will appear before the commissioner on Thursday, September 24. Details to follow…

Sources tells Radar, "The goal is to permit transition to a non-custody regiment of recovery."
The insider continues, "Redmond is doing very well, but there is only so much that can be done in the treatment program behind bars."
Redmond has been in custody since he was arrested for possession of heroin last spring. O'Neal is currently at Pitchess Detention Center where he is enrolled in a stringent inmate recovery program. His next court appearance is set for September 18th.
In related news, Redmond’s lawyer says rumors of his client doing a reality show are “100% false."
Well that’s good news! We’re not sure we’re in favor of Redmond being released so soon. He needs to learn his lesson the hard way!

According to a new report, Farrah Fawcett’s longtime lover Ryan O'Neal has brokered a deal to get himself and his troubled son Redmond on a reality show.
In Touch reports that the show will feature Redmond, who will just be getting out of jail, as he tries to get his life back on track.
A source close to the family tells the tabloid, “Redmond wants to do this to honor his mother. He really wants to get better to honor her memory.”
Many are speculating that Ryan was pushing for the deal way more than Redmond. An insider says, “Redmond has signed the deal that was brokered for him by his dad. Ryan will be on the show, too.”
We’re not so sure about this one. Something about Ryan O’Neal rubs us the wrong way. He should be focusing on genuinely helping his son beat addiction for good, rather than having the cameras turned on him.
Is this a good idea, or a train wreck in the works?

According to Farrah's will, she left her entire fortune to her son Redmond O'Neal.
Farrah reportedly updated her will in 2007, and left him approximately $5.5 million dollars.
According to British tabloid the Mail on Sunday, "Farrah appointed two trustees to make sure the money supports her son's journey into sobriety rather than giving him the means to destroy himself. Redmond's inheritance will be tightly controlled."
Only problem is Redmond has been battling an addiction to drugs for several years now. He has been in and out of rehab several times, and is currently behind bars on drug charges.
Giving a drug addict a ton of money isn't exactly the best idea. According to the two executors of her will, he will be given an allowance every month and funds to buy his own home. Lets just hope his money doesn't go to waste on drugs or alcohol!

Redmond showed up to Los Angeles County Superior Court Thursday morning wearing a blue jumpsuit and handcuffs, for a hearing that only lasted five minutes.
O’Neal’s lawyers met with Judge Sharon Miller to discuss Redmond’s probation violation case.
The judge ended up granting a continuance, and a preliminary hearing was set for August 21st. Redmond will have to remain behind bars until then. Don't drop the soap.
While Farrah and Ryan's incarcerated son Redmond O'Neal was allowed to leave prison to attend the funeral, Ryan's other son Griffin was turned away from his father.
Griffin drove 300 miles to L.A. to attend Farrah's funeral, but Ryan refused to let him stay "because he's a bad guy."
In Griffin's defense he said he attended because, "I just wanted to say goodbye to someone that I knew and loved for 33 years."
Ryan's daughter Tatum O'Neal was also asked not to attend the funeral. Sounds a little harsh! Sure they have struggled with drugs in the past, but so has Redmond. Do you think it was wrong of Ryan not to let his other children attend Farrah's funeral?
