For several years, O'Neal was estranged from his three elder children. "I'm a hopeless father. I don't know why. I don't think I was supposed to be a father. Just look around at my work—they're either in jail or they should be," he told [[Vanity Fair (magazine)|''Vanity Fair'']].<ref name="vanity" /> In her autobiography, ''A Paper Life'', Tatum wrote that she had suffered physical and emotional abuse as a result of her father's drug abuse.<ref name="vanity" /> Griffin O'Neal also suggested their family's problems stemmed from Ryan. "My father gave me [[cocaine]] when I was 11 and insisted I take it," he said.<ref name="vanity" /> Griffin added, "He was a very abusive, [[narcissistic]] [[psychopath]]. He gets so mad he can't control anything he's doing."<ref name="vanity" />

In 2007, O'Neal was arrested for shooting at Griffin, which he claimed was in self-defense; the charges were dropped.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/actor-ryan-oneal-claims-self-defense-in-shooting-at-son/|title=Actor Ryan O'Neal claims self-defense in shooting at son|date=February 5, 2007|website=The Seattle Times}}</ref> O'Neal refused to allow Griffin to attend Fawcett's funeral in 2009.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://parade.com/16816/parade/ryan-oneal-banned-griffin-oneal-from-farrahs-funeral/|title=Griffin O'Neal: Dad Banned Me From Farrah's Funeral|date=August 5, 2009|website=Parade}}</ref> He hit on Tatum at Fawcett's funeral, not recognizing her as his daughter.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/08/03/ryan-oneal-i-hit-on-my-da_n_249668.html|title=Ryan O'Neal: I Hit On My Daughter Tatum At Farrah's Funeral|date=September 3, 2009|website=[[Huffington Post]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/tv-on-own-ryan-and-tatums-paper-gloom/2011/06/16/AGCDJVZH_story.html|last=Stuever|first=Hank|title=On OWN, 'Ryan & Tatum's' paper gloom|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|date=June 17, 2011}}</ref>
