EXCLUSIVE: Judge Issues Redmond O'Neal Stern Warning
Posted on Nov 19, 2009 @ 02:46PM
The troubled son of the late Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal was taken to task by Judge Michael Tynan at a progress report hearing Thursday morning. Reading from the progress report Judge Tynan said, " I thought this kid wanted to do something. He isn't working as hard as he can."

However, Raymond May, a representative from Impact where Redmond is in residential treatment, told Judge Tynan that Redmond's lack of participation was because, "He did a massive amount of drugs for years and that stunted his emotional growth, and he is just coming out of that."
Ryan O’Neal “Perfectly Happy” To Be Left Out Of Farrah’s Will
Redmond addressed the court and said he has been "sober for 9 months. I have been holding back. I have been adjusting and still dealing with the death of my mother."

Redmond's legal ace attorney Richard Pintal told RadarOnline.com, "The progress report was good. Redmond is doing well, but as Judge Tynan pointed out, he needs to step it up." Redmond O'Neal was visibly upset after the hearing but told RadarOnline.com exclusively, "I'm ok. I'm going to do better."

When viewing the video when Redmond said his goodbye to Farrah it was very noticeable that his teeth were already rotting out so he has been using for quite a long time.

Meth is one of the most destructive drugs out there on the body long term. The teeth will all rot and fall out, the user gets thinner and thinner and the brain is damaged and just stays damaged. Paranoia is a big issue as is temper

Unfortunately with Redmonds choice of drugs there is in reaity little hope he will ever kick the habit.. Most people don't understand Meth but it is even worse then coke, lsd, or any other illegal drug. Rehab has little effect sadly

There is no telling how long Redmond has been using it unless he admits when he started. It's believe or not very hard to detect the person is using for a long time. Weight loss is the first sign & then paranoia

wonder why his mother left him all that money knowing he would just do drugs with the money? she should have given it to a drug center . giving this kid that much money is like giving him a gun. both well blow out his brains

Farrah kept hoping he would go straight and parents can be in denial that it's as bad as it is. Truthfully IF he ever gets off Meth he is going to just go to another drug. Very typical of the Meth user.

Why isn't the father locked up? Ryan O'Neal has given all his kids drugs with the exception of his son by Leigh Taylor Young, that is because she refused to let him be around him(smart woman) if I gave my son drugs I would be put in jail right now!!

This young man has probably never worked a day in his life. I pray this judge stays on top of him and doesn't let him fall through the cracks. He needs to stay away from his father.

massive amounts of drugs didn't stunt his emotional growth, it FRIED his brain...he's using the death of his mother as an excuse/crutch ... he's a waste of time until HE's ready to get straight, thats AA logic.

i dont understand what he is doing wrong?? what do they mean by "participation?" Clean the toilets?? As long as he is staying clean, give the kid a break. Sheesh.
