Woe is Ryan O’Neal AGAIN and this time it’s not his fault. Ryan has had leukemia, been arrested with his son for meth possession, has a fucked up relationship with all of his children and now he’s battling stage 4 prostate cancer. Stage 4 cancer sounds like some beyond serious shit, but Ryan tells People that he’s undergoing treatment right now and he’s not going to take a ride on Farrah Fawcett’s angel hair wings anytime soon. According to Ryan, he’s going to fully recover.
“Recently I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. Although I was shocked and stunned by the news, I feel fortunate that it was detected early and according to my extraordinary team of doctors the prognosis is positive for a full recovery.
I am deeply grateful for the support of my friends and family during this time, and I urge everyone to get regular check-ups, as early detection is the best defense against this horrible disease that has afflicted so many.”
Ryan also said that he has a book coming out May 1st.
Never mind that the phrases “early detection” and “stage 4 cancer” don’t normally go together, this news come just days after Ryan shaded our earth God Oprah by blaming her for the failure of his reality show on her network. And now Ryan has cancer. Oprah, YOU WOULDN’T!?
Some of us were too excited about Ryan O’Neal competing on Dancing With the Stars, reenacting Love Story scenes using elements of jive, and wowing Bruno Tonioli with those ageless baby blues (browns?). Unfortunately, Mr. O’Neal claimed injury and dropped out of the show, and now Nancy Grace only has to out-hoof 11 other couples instead of 12. Boo. But a new report details a much different reason for O’Neal’s departure, and it may force us to give the Tatum-flrting actor a bit of credit.
According to TMZ, Ryan O’Neal so resents Nancy Grace’s opinions about him and his beleaguered son Redmond that he dropped out of the competition. Redmond O’Neal has had ongoing drug issues in recent years.
Nancy Grace has already responded to the allegation:
“We have never covered Mr. O’Neal nor his family on our show… I hate that he dropped out of DWTS; I would have loved to compete with him and wish him the very best.”
Sources connected to O’Neal say he’s bitter toward the HLN star in private. I don’t blame him: She’d have objected to Paper Moon’s portrayal of a deadbeat dad and a chain-smoking 10-year-old daughter. That Nancy. No fun for tobacky-hacking preteens, ever.
