Tatum O’Neal Shares A Message With Her Father: ‘Forgiveness Is The Best Policy’ | Megyn Kelly TODAY 

I saw Paper Moon for the 1st time last night. Tatum was adorable and so so gifted. She didn't deserve this.

This is the please let me in, love me, say your sorry, been there, you still love your parents, but you have to accept that the hole you feel inside your body will never be filled. I see her sadness, because I recognize it in myself. That overwhelming hunger never ends.

Prayers for healing.

Aweome, Tatum. Good for you, releasing the anger, hate and blame to move forward. I'm a survivor myself of over a decade of sexual abuse from my father. You're amazing.

i am a huge fan of tatum oneal, she is so brave to come out and share what happened to her through her life. i hope she is ok and knows that many people love and care what happens to her. take care, the dark knight. xx

Her mom had serouis booze and drug problems growing she and her bro lived in filthy conditions according to her book . That they did not see there dad much he was with farrah alot so its kind of sketchy to me someone could have hurt her but she also took alot of hard core drugs too since was young so memories could be marred a bit.

God bless her 🙏🏼

It would be so nice if dates were included for the show. Anybody know when this interview took place?

Beautiful.....Loved her little bit in Basquiat:)

YOU ARE SUCH a role Model to me Tatum...i have BROKE CYCLES with My PARENTS,...i realized i cant change them through all my THERAPY ......i have to let go off the pain ......THANK U been sober 5 yrs now

Tatum Jesus loves you no matter what you do and all of us

❤ beautiful and strong Tatum is wonderful

You did the perfect thing

So sad. At times she is struggling to explain herself. It’s understandable after the trauma she’s suffered. Tough to watch.

Thank you Tatum and Megan

Her father is a narcissist so he will never open up or really care about her!

I, and my whole, entire, full family, all, also, truly, currently, and always, will pray, so very very very very very very hard, and earnestly, for Ryan O'Neal, and for the whole, entire, full rest, of his whole, entire, full family, to all, also, truly, and fully, now, always, and forever, have so much more better, stronger, and healthier self-esteem, and positivity, within, and about themselves.

She looks amazing. Good for her

LOVE LOVE LOVE Tatum O'Neal!!!!!!!! What a life she led!!!!! I would LOVE to see her in more movies and t.v!!!!!!! I pray you stay clean and sober you are SO TALENTED AND HAVE SO MUCH TO OFFER THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!

Love seeing Tatum being the survivor that she is today, and Megyn's improvement towards compassion and empathy when interviewing.

I wish her more than she could ask for or even imagine God has in store for her.

I know Ryan and Tatum have had a very troubled relationship and that their attempted reconciliation on that one reality show was a failure. But I really hope they can find a way to make peace before the end.

Ah Tatum - you are so dearly loved by a lot of us people "...in the 22nd row..." - But most of all, you are dearly loved by your Creator. Jesus Christ loves you and understands your life, and your mind. Nobody else can ever do that - no husband, no friend, no family member - just your Creator. Please listen to "Whatever It Takes" by Phillips Craig and Dean. That's a song I've always thought about was written for you. Please if you ever read this, listen to that song - it's for you... - much love to you, - Mike in NJ

There is a second side to all stories, her dad Ryan also has his own issues. He admitted not being an angel and at the same time his interview with Pier Morgan is worth watching, it is 7 yrs ago but still.

Tatum is such an inspiration.Her father is never going to be what she deserved.She deserves to be happy joyous and free.

She’s amazing!! So authentic, and articulate. I’m so glad she found her way.

For those of you who want to see God's Not Dead: A Light In The Darkness you have to see God's Not Dead 1 and God's Not Dead 2 first. Those two movies turned me from an atheist to a devout Christian minister.

Tatum still has that cool voice and her smile is radiant. Saying those nice things to and about your dad shows that you are a class act.

I feel this is a much deeper unrevelation.

Megyn Kelly has the sympathy of a cold wooden board. 🤦‍♀️

You have always been a beautiful lady to me Tatum. Ever since"Bad news Bears" I've been soo in love with you...God Bless you

Ryan has always. Been a misogynistic creeper. No credibility. I feel sorry for her terrible upbringing.

Free and resentment free life but Boundaries! He is no father to you!

I'm glad she is in a better place & did not want to say anything negative about the people she has had the greatest conflicts with in her life. Her book paper life was honestly one of the most horrible childhoods I've ever read about. Imagine being a child with her brother griffin & having just no parental supervision or any kind of structure. I cant imagine feeling that alone. Her mother had serious addictions that prevented her from being a mother. Than her dad rescued the kids but put them right in boarding school. So ur just not home with ur family. Then she gets to do a movie with her dad & finally she had a structured life. Get up this time go to the set work all day go to bed do it all over. Kids need that structure of knowing what's next. Then I think after the film ryan had no clue how to raise a child & be a man about town. He just brought tatum to.all adult parties. Their was also a lot of chaos & drugs around then farrah comes into the picture & Ryan leaves tatum & Griffin alone in his house & moves in with farrah. Tatum was 15 & had to raise her 14 year old brother alone. She also got molested once living with her mom by her moms 15 year old misfit boyfriend. Then again by Ryan's drug dealer whom.ryan kept around even after tatum told him. It's just very sad. But I am glad she wants to let all that pain go bc ur missing out on the present & future by letting the past hurt u. I think many people who were traumatized suffer from that. I wish her the best she deserves it . Her addictions were to forget about the pain esp the sexual abuse the hitting bc her dad hit her & her brothers & her moms abandonment. She forgives her mom bc her mom had a tough life too. She lost her whole family at a young age. Hollywood put her on contract she did a bunch of guest spots as they used to do in the studio system , it's not like after the studio fell where u can pick a project u like. U were kin of told what to do . That's why if u watch old shows from the 60s u see some very famous people pop up in so many different tv shows like bonanza . I see so many people on there bc my dad comes by & puts it on. The studios would hook their starlets that they groomed with acting singing & dancing lessons on speed to stay thin. This happened to Tatum's mom joanna Moore & judy Garland. Plus that casting couch may have been worse back then. Im.sure her mom had to perform to get more parts.

she and sheryl strayed look a like

Oh God Oh Man

love is always having to say you're sorry and bashing Farrah probably hasn't helped plus Farrah can't defend herself.

OMG!! She looks so hot, but she was hot back in the 80s and 90s too. 💗

I wish She would write a book about her x husbands she said how bad he was but she says he was a good dad don't make sense she said on the Barbara Walters Show how he tortured her and the kids her ex-husband

Roy Moore, prove it Tatum and Megyn!!!

This is an example of family members needing to be cut off in life, cancerous people bring everyone else down around them and just to be in contact them due to “family” is not worth the stress and trouble.

Why

I thought they made up. On Oprah

How can you prove it their is never a witness

U guys can say what U want. Mac & Tatum's is Tatums child. U better look closer

TATUM WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET RID OF YOUR FAYHRT? PLEASE STOP TO RECONCILE WITH RYAN, HE WILL NEVER CHANGE, GET RID OF HIM, HE BELONGS IN THE SEWR

Did she cry this out with oprah?

Wow, she needs to just move on and get over it, unless it's just a ploy for publicity and acclaim. She's making a career out of it, and, let's face it, Carrie Fisher did it with more subtlety and humor. Clearly, she just needs to make her own life and stay away from Ryan.
