In an explosive interview conducted at Los Angeles’ Men’s Central Jail, the 33-year-old blames being born with a ‘silver spoon in his mouth.’ 

Redmond, who has reportedly had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse, blames Charlie’s Angels golden girl Farrah and Love Story heartthrob Ryan for his troubles.

‘It’s not the drugs that have been a problem,’ he tells GLOBE. ‘It’s the psychological trauma of my entire life.’

He adds, ‘Fighting with my father, being kicked out and living on the streets, going to jail, being put in a psychiatric ward, being embarrassed all the time, just because of who my parents are.’

‘The pressure that came with that set off a time bomb in my head. I never asked for any of this. I never wanted any attention.’

Currently undergoing mental evaluation in the LA jail’s psych unit, Redmond reveals that he has spoken to his father on the phone, but O’Neal has not visited his son.

Fawcett and O’Neal were romantically linked from 1979 to 1997, and the couple welcomed Redmond in 1985. 

Redmond has had a troubled past, even before his mother passed of cancer in 2009.

In April 2009, Redmond was on probation for driving under the influence when he was arrested for possession of narcotics.

When Fawcett tragically passed away, Redmond was in jail. He was permitted to see her one time before she passed.
