Thank Goddess: Redmond O'neal will be allowed to attend his mom' s funeral

Farrah Fawcett's son Redmond O'Neal, currently serving a jail sentence for violating his probation on drug charges, will attend his mother's memorial service on Tuesday, his attorney tells PEOPLE.

"That's an absolute yes," says William Slattery about plans for the 24-year-old son of Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal to go to the funeral.

O'Neal will be allowed to leave the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, Calif., where he is enrolled in an inmate treatment program, for the invitation-only ceremony, which will be held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels at 4 p.m. PST in downtown Los Angeles.

Fawcett, 62, died after a long battle with cancer on Thursday.

will he be allowed to attend Michael Jackson's funeral? :sarcasm:

Who cares?

A rich kid with a drug problem who couldn't even clean up his act while his mother was being treated for cancer. He wasn't there when she died, saw her once in April, and now he gets to go to her funeral.

Big whoop.

She's dead. His presence at the funeral is nothing but a chance for the paparazzi to work out, but I imagine it would have been a good thing for his mother if she'd seen him in the two months it took her to die after his last visit. Her only child, maybe visiting her once a day - the kid never had a job or went to college, so I imagine he'd have had the time to spend with his dying mother.

He should only suffer every day for what his self-indulgent behavior did.............................

the kid screwed up - that's a given.

Being able to personally say good bye to his Mom may help turn him around.

"the kid screwed up"

He's been busted a whole lot of times, and he still couldn't keep his nose out of the stuff while his mother was battling cancer.

You don't say goodbye to corpses in boxes. You say goodbye to people when they can still hear you, and he blew his chance to do that. Seeing her two months before she died. Two whole months of her lying in that bed, wasting away, and her only child wasn't there.

He's worthless. He deserves every anguish he will endure..................................

you're a real piece of work.

you think it's perfectly acceptable for a grown son to screw over his mother in her dying days because he's too much in love with his drugs.

I don't.

And I think the idea that anyone would "ooh" and "aaah" over the idea that the young man is going to be allowed out of the slammer for a few hours - in shackles and handcuffs - to attend his mother's funeral is truly missing the point.

But, hell, that's what keeps that tabloids in business...........................

way to go! kicking someone who's already down for the count & mourning for his mother. :eyes:

dg

which is not a relative concept, btw...too bad you don't understand that :-(

Too bad he wasn't there when she could still hear him, touch him, kiss him, feel his kisses...................

that's tough. Just ask Tatum.

But Ryan has shown a his better quality during Farrah's illness. He stayed by her side and really seemed to love her. I hope that means he will turn out to be a better father - finally.

Considering his wild past, someone should be watching Ryan for a slip back into his bad old ways.

be right back...

...then "extenuating circumstances" are nothing more than something you need to blow out of your ass. That kind of criminal is not in a position to ask for favors.

O'Neal's crime was a "victimless crime"...the real person he hurt was himself...and the best rehabilitation I can possibly imagine is in this decision, in the fact that he will spend the rest of his life knowing that the judge could have said "no," and the judge said "yes."

He needs to pay the piper for the drug charge, but that should not include robbing him of the opportunity to attend his mother's funeral. He'll atten, and he'll go back to jail, and justice will be served.

:patriot:

:applause:

would have been greatly comforted by that kind of thinking in the two months it took her to die after his last visit to see her - in shackles and chains, accompanied by guards.

Two months to die, without your only child appearing even once.

But, yeah, it's a real comfort that he'll be there when prayers are said over her dead body...............................

n/t

turn your life around

I assure you the spoiled little rich fuck doesn't give two shits about you.

she died without him.................

because I do?

But alas, we have to "GIT TOUGH ON CRIME"
