Redmond O’Neal faced a judge this morning and asked for leniency after violating his probation by testing positive for heroin and being in possession of the drug at a rehab treatment center.
Redmond milked the fact that his mother was sick, telling the courts his mother weighs a shocking 86 pounds and pleading that he wants to be there for her. “I want to be there for my mom. My mom only weighs 86 pounds right now and I’m sorry your honor.”
That’s funny. Suddenly he wants to be there for his ailing mother, but what about him being arrested a couple weeks ago at a jail facility in possession of heroin AGAIN? His mother was ill that day too, but his priority was to smuggle H into jail for a junkie friend.
Surprisingly, the judge gave Redmond one more chance. But he warned Redmond, if he screws up one more time he will do hard time.
Judge Scott Wellington threatened, “If I see you back in that chair, it won’t be pretty. If you fail in the drug program, I will sentence you to state prison for over three years.You need to know you have a serious problem. Get your act together. My role is changing now, you need to understand that. We are going to be placing you in a more stringent program than Clearview was.”
Wellington ordered O’Neal to remain in custody until at least April 30th when he will be sentenced to a rehabilitation center. Redmond will face another judge on April 24th for the jail incident.
How sad and devastating for Farrah. Any dying mother would only wish to be surrounded by her loved ones during her last days. Redmond has deprived his mother of that. I just don’t see this kid straightening up. Unfortunately I have a feeling that three year sentence will come about some time in the near future..

Who is that stupid to be caught in posession of drugs at a correctional facility?!!? The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. His mother (don’t mean to kick her while she’s down) was conspicuously incoherent on Letterman, his father’s been busted for drugs and ditto for his half-siblings. I have a feeling that he is the next “Hollywood Brat” to overdose.
You are absolutely right! BOTH his parents (with all due respect, Farrah) were heavy cocaine users. So you do have a good point about the apple…
Not only was he allowed to dope and drink from a early age; he was ignored, neglected, abused and tormented like his sibblings staying with evil bully Ryan. Farrah knows what she did and didn’t do right., Ryan should have to take his jail time.
Sad, indeed. However, this is typical addict behavior. You can’t expect an addict to behave like a normal rational person. This kid is sick and I hope he survives.
