25th Wow seems like yesterday after a long battle with cancer when was the last time you saw her I do believe it was the night before her birthday Farrah's not your mother no no mine was Joanna Bohr yeah Phil animals it was sort of my stepmom they weren't really never married so so she was more my friend yeah than anything is she a good friend she was a great friend ya know at first she was so nice you know I came from a not-so-nice kind of a world we were kind of a battling kind of a crazy family and she was so nice I didn't trust her I was like how did I don't know anybody that's nice and the the crazy sad part was as she stayed nice all the way to the end yeah and it broke my heart when I was not allowed in to say goodbye to well how old were you when Ryan and her got together 13 sir did you live with them uh well I was in and out I you know I've had a work permit since I was nine so I was in and out of the house and trying to to you know make a career for myself and so it was it was I was in and out you know of course she was always around and were you close with your biological mother are you oh yeah well my mother died back in 97 and yes my mother was the light of my life and actually gave me all the best parts of me was she in fear of close you know she had met once and they had they had a lot in common just because there are two lovely Southern Belles you know affair was from Texas and and my mother was from South Georgia you weren't allowed to attend the funeral at the Cathedral why not I guess I'm a bad guy that's what who doesn't let you attack Orion didn't want me in I got him I call him Ryan now I because you know I've had to let go of him as being my dad not that he was ever really a dad but but he he said no you know no no Griffin Tatum Patrick even my daughter was allowed in and you know it's okay you know what because I said my goodbyes to Farrah the day that she died and I said let it speak no no no I said Micah bodies inside my heart and with the clouds and with the higher power that I believe it and no I had not I had not seen her since the day before the day before my father tried to shoot me in the face they get to that judgments before Pharaoh's death your father gave an interview to NBC about his feelings for her and her fight against cancer let's look at that I know this that in the last two years I loved her more than I ever loved her ever she's so much more of a woman and a powerful courageous fearless and I look at her with aw I feel looking at that I remember when she was diagnosed with cancer and my dad got upset and he goes no I'm dying you're not dying I'm dying and I said well dad that sounds a little selfish because you're in remission you you take Gleevec you've been in remission for jeeze years now it was very very mad at her having cancer yeah because the attention had to be diverted affair then he didn't like that and you know if it is a narcissist or is a narcissist an absolute complete narcissist in every way are you saying that interview was crocodile tears that that wasn't what I'm gonna tear yet give us your description of the relationship between what she wasn't you step but because they didn't get married relationship between your father and Pharaoh how'd you describe huh it was bombastic at times there was great times there was very hard times you know by the time Redd was five they lived in separate rooms in a very large house so the I think his room was about a mile and a half from her room so I guess that's what kept the relationship somewhat uh you know as a solid because they weren't in each others face all the time Farrah was a very very strict Catholic and she wanted it to be done the proper way the way that that Catholicism teaches the right thing he not faithful to her faithless he has no faith less he has no faith here's no faith was he faithful to her in the marriage absolutely in the non relation no no you saw other women are you kidding she walked in on him and he was but he was with some other woman do you know this for a fact or as if hearsay no sir I know this versus you know it for a fact she told me he forgot he locked every lock in the house except he forgot that she had a remote control for the garage and up there she is why do you think she left her entire estate to Redmond under riot well you know I think in the end you know I think I don't think she was as unconscious as she as as as they thought she was she you know when you're dying of cancer cuz I watched my mother die of cancer you know you're in and out of a morphine haze but I think she saw the transparency between her my father and Ilana and I think there's a little bit more to be said about that and we'll find out later I don't think they had innovation can't say they did but I know my father very well and he's a hard one to uh to fend off did you expect something in the will I don't care I live a great life today I have a you know not that I'm you know bragging about my 401 k plan but I ensure my family I have a 401 k plan I'm the happiest I have ever been sober almost four years and I have no complaints when you're marrying I'm married to a beautiful woman she'll I have a I have a young little Tullio I have three kids actually I have a 20 year old daughter I have a 15 year old son and a 2 year old yes I know I I don't know what alright in advance of this interview we got a statement from Arnold Robinson Ryan O'Neal's publicist Griffin has not had a relationship with Farrah or Ryan for many years therefore there is no way he would have any knowledge of what was going on in their lives I want to respond that I would have no idea yeah oh no I spoke to read at least once a month and the son that but to my brother and wedges it was far off third to the end I we we had relationship through text messaging so I sent her Texas of my son and I said I love you and please that statements false I am I don't even know who this person is no he's representing this person has no father this person has no idea what they're talking about so you had a relations oh yeah when was the last time you spoke to your father uh the night the night he tried to shoot me in the face tell me what happened what was that all about well you know I know he was charged and the charges would dismiss but there was also he was the one who was arrested I was not living it was dismissed of course sorry well you know what I had finally had enough my father you know what my brother would do like a a seven day reason Redman yeah my brother red would do a seven-day detox and he'd split on the sixth day and then so my dad would get mad and not pay the detox center so this happened to every detox center in Los Angeles so what at that ended up happening was Redmond was no longer allowed at a detox center in Los Angeles which basically put the weight on me so now dad got home I had my brother locked down I said listen to I saw I'm sorry I love you to death and I he was broken my brother said I I I didn't think anybody was gonna stop me I didn't think anybody loved me and thank you he cried it held Jojo my wife and held me and held my friend and said I didn't think anybody was gonna stop me because my dad just just let him do whatever he wanted to do supplied him with cash for his drugs supplied him with everything and I it was it was a losing battle or rather than that that night I got home dad didn't like the fact that the door was off the hinges because I had to take the door off the hinges because if he closed it he had dope stashed everywhere in his room and he'd be loaded who are you judgment because you know what I said dad you know what if you want to take care of this yourself like cuz I know you don't know what to do I said you're on your own you're on your own I don't want nothing to do it and then I started to tell him about how I felt about how I felt about his fathering about how I felt how he treated me when I was a child and my sister and my mother's was how long ago oh this was the this was that night this was fair this is fair his birthday three years ago two years ago sorta he went crazy he went crazy I said what do you eat and then my girl goes he's got a stick I'm packing my stuff upstairs Isis nicked I don't know she didn't know what it was either but all I know is I got stabbed in the side with a fireplace poker not thus nothi not the shovel and not the brush it was the gnarly part of the poke then he shot you know then I said and then and as he's swinging back he hits my girl in the face crushing four bones and her cheeks put nine stitches above her head he glances at her I grabbed the poker and I say don't and now he's and of course you know all 237 pounds of him he falls on my eight and a half month pregnant wife right on her stomach and I grabbed the poker out of his hand and I said don't move I will bury this in your head don't move because my dad's a very very very violent man did you call the police oh yeah well we had to she was bleeding why the judges dropped them well because you know what honestly I didn't know how she got the injury my dad says oh he did it he hit her your monitor yeah and I'm like how could I hit her she was behind you dead you know what I mean I didn't tell him this but you know she all she says that's all I saw was a poker hit me in the face so they never know no evidence oh no evidence and you know what did I'll be honest with you and I was honest all the way through I said you know what I don't know how she got the wound I don't know how she says she got hit either way I was not the perpetrator the perp was the guy who stabbed me in the side and wanted to hurt me and I brought pictures you'll see I've got a gnarly hole and a gnarly of the California words everything okay [Applause] [Music] you [Music] [Applause]
