They Deserve Better: Celebrities And Their Less-Than-Perfect Kids

The O’Neals Plagued by Drugs

It is difficult enough to be a child star, but imagine how much worse it is when you are a child star and the daughter of a celebrity. Talk about a double whammy! Tatum alleges her father abused drugs and put her around many unsavory people in her youth which caused many of her issues as she grew up.

She famously wrote in her autobiography A Paper Life that her father’s drug dealer molested her when she was twelve years old. If this is true, then Tatum O’Neal’s battle with drug addiction is even more devastating. Hopefully, this family can get some help!
