Celebrity Justice

Ryan & Redmond O'Neal: Click to watch
The actor was sentenced to 18 months in a drug rehabilitation program. If he completes the program, the charge will be wiped from his record.

As part of the judges ruling, O'Neal is not allowed to possess any controlled substance and can't associate with anyone known to be a drug user -- except for his son, Redmond.

Redmond was also in court today facing the same charge -- he had his case continued until February 20.

16. Ooooooooooooooh, he is too old for meth!! How the heck can his heart take that?? Remember John Entwhistle from The Who! Speed kills. Nobody should do crank, screws your head up big time, as well as the obvious things it does to your body.

18. Good lord this family is MESS. Ryan, Redmond, Tatum, Griffith. It seems the only normal one is the son Patrick.

It's nice to know that Ryan and Redmond are so concered about Farrah fighting cancer. This woman is fighting for her life and her "own" family isn't there for her. It seems Farrah is fighting this fight by herself. I find it really, really sad.

20. Teach both of these repeated idiots a lesson in Jail. How many times is this family in trouble with the law. Enough is enough. Rehab does not work for them.

21. Some misguided parents think it's ok to do drugs with their kids, right SL? But anyhoo, wonder why Ryan and son never do jail time...and the poorer people do.

22. Ryan O'Neal has been poison for the past 40 years or so. such a dark presence, his kids never had a chance. LTY must have gotten far away. I pity all of his victims.

24. Why would someone EVER try meth?? It's totally asinine. Have they not seen the pics of meth addicts? Yeah, there are some pretty nasty drugs out there but....come on. Legalize buddah & keep all man made drugs illegal. JMO~

25. SHAME ON HIM AND HIS SON...WHAT'S UP WITH THESE PEOPLE? THEY'VE GOT FAME AND THEN DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT. DON'T THEY KNOW THIS IS KILLING FARAH FAWCETT EVEN FASTER THAN THE CANCER? MAYBE THIS IS PAYBACK FOR WHAT SHE DID TO LEE MAJORS...SHE USED HIM TO GET HER FOOT IN THA DOOR. OUCH!

26. Damn.. The judge should have said he can't go NEAR his son either. Obviously Ryan does not know how to be a sober parent. If Redmond is to have any chance at a drug free life he needs to get away from Ryan.

Whoa. Nice parental conduct there, Ryan. It gives your kids someone to look up to.

I don't think Lee Majors was any better to Farrah. He treated her like dirt/ talked her into quitting Charlie's Angels. Got pissed when she wasn't there to cook his dinner. To me it seem like Lee was controllling. The horrible part is that Farrah jump from the frying pan an into the fire when she met Ryan.

Ryan ruined Farrah, just like he did to all his kids.
