Crack is Wack for Tatum O'Neal

Tatum O'Neal was popped by the NYPD for allegedly scoring crack and coke last night.

The NYPD tells us that O'Neal was allegedly "observed" buying crack and coke on the Lower East Side near her apartment.

She was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and held at the Seventh Precinct downtown. We're told that she's waiting to see the judge for arraignment.

Her rep couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

31. If drugs were legal this wouldn't even be a story... Who cares? It's should be her own personal choice...

33. 21. Anna, if you knew the long history (battle) between these two you'd have a clue. F*CK OFF!!

Dottie, who does not know the history of Tatum and John. My point is why would John be happy that she is going through such hard times. At the end of the day she is stil the mother of his kids. What parent would want their kids to see their mother in such despair.

34. I'd say she looks pretty hot for an occasional drug user. Definitely not Amy Winehouse, junkie style. Yeah, Ryan ONeal started abusing her when she was a mere 12 yrs old. Hope she was just an occasional user not a full out junkie. That can happen when your family totally abandons you emotionally. People look in the wrong places to find things to make them feel good. This is a " shame on you" Ryan O'Neal for making your daughter's life total crap.

35. WHAT KIND OF A STUPID NAME IS TATUM? HER NAME ALONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH CAUSE TO ARREST HER.
TATUM SOUNDS LIKE CRACK, THEREFORE SHE SHOULD NOW BE CALLED CRACKWHORE ONEAL.

37. what is with all these older people still stuck on drugs like heroin and crack and cocaine.......??? I do not understand it. I am glad I don't understand it. But, I sure have liked Tatum. I feel so sad for her and her children.

38. If this had been someone BLACK, everyone would have already been making racial comments.

39. Now it seems that Anna might need to grow up. Talk about immature. Tatum and John don't know either of you. Shut up.

44. awww, why can't she get help she needs, her poor kids.

45. I've been reading these comments (and those on gawker) and I find it interesting at the level of compassion and sympathy for Tatum. People really love her and - I think - have a sense of just how messed up her childhood was growing up the daughter of two egotistical addicts who neglected her and her brother. If you were young in the 1970s and saw her in "The Bad News Bears" and "Little Darlings" - this was someone special. I hope that her life gets easier.
