Tatum O’Neal arrested for buying crack

June 2nd, 2008 // 44 Comments

Judging by the amount of e-mails I’ve received, a number of you actually know who Tatum O’Neal is. That’s way more surprising than her getting busted for buying crack by the NYPD last night. CNN reports:

The 44-year-old actress, who penned a 2004 memoir about her long road to sobriety, was arrested around 7:30 p.m. on the Lower East Side of Manhattan after she was seen making a purchase from a drug dealer, police said.
Investigators charged her with criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor. She is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.

If I’m ever arrested at 44 for buying crack, I want you guys to give me a high-five. Obviously, I’ve done shit with my life yet still “keep it real.” Kudos, Tatum O’Neal, for getting back in that spotlight, girl. But only until Britney Spears decides she hates underwear again then it’s back to whatever it is that you do. Oh, right; crack.

    Don’t know which is funnier: Her saying to the cop “Don’t you know who I am?!” to which I would’ve replied No, but I knew who you were (oh snap), or her using the Winnona line that she was “researching for a role”. Funny, didn’t know she was cast in anything.

    Aw, I was hoping she had beaten her addiction. I hear it’s really hard though. Which is why, just say no kids! Don’t ever do it, not even once!

    I guess she didn’t get Whitney’s memo–crack is whack. She should have just said no to having children. When your own parents fail miserably at parenting, you should probably not have children yourself. At least she doesn’t have custody.

    I feel sorry for her – her father makes Charlie Sheen look like an angel. Still, she shouldn’t be doing crack (again) now or ever. She did heroin for years and finally got sober..looks like she fell onto the glass pipe again. Addictions are a bitch..and that excuse “I’m researching a role” sure won’t fly with the police!

    Good luck Tatum, with your track record they will throw you in the slammer.

    I hope she relizes it ain’t worth it and was caught as a ‘second chance’. I don’t know who she is but nobody deserves that shit.

    What do you expect from someone that dated Michael Jackson in the ’70s. He really wasn’t such a weirdo then, so she must have fucked him too, how sick is that.

    She got an Oscar at age 10. She has a hot in shape body unlike Kim Kardaskank and she is so much older too.

    Surprised no one mentioned this in comments yet, but apparently, at the time of arrest, she tried to say that she was researching for a part (nice try).

    Here’s the Daily News article about this train wreck:
    http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/06/01/2008-06-01_tatum_oneal_in_crack_bust.html

    Third and fourth paragraphs are utterly fantastic.

    I’m trying to work in a Dancing with the Stars reference (she was on it a couple of years ago), but I got nothin’.

    Believe me kids…buying “crack” at any age is not good! It is an evil drug that has only one ending. Death! Stay away from it!

    #34 kids… listen to that message

    1 + 1 doesnt equal 2

    black doesnt equal white

    …so do you care ?

    …at all ? ?

    ok truth…

    crack is a f******* brilliant drug
    but its a bit like burning up in tha atmosphere
    rather than making a smooth re-emntry

    but ya makes your choices
    if you were allowed to

    so maybe in life… a few moments of “sunshine”
    and we’ll settle for the reflected glow…

    what are you laking about
    we’ll stop you if you’re trying to say something ?

    yes… sure you will : ) ) )
