I admit; I love Farrah. I grew up wanting to be like her: the beautiful hair, the gleaming smile, the perky left nipple. She was my idol as a young girl, and she's always had a special place in my heart. It is profoundly shameful that her last days should be sold to the tabloids to feed her family's vile habits.

That's not to say I know something that you don't know. But what I do know is disturbing at best - both lover and son arrested months ago and charged with possession of meth, in the same house where she was resting, just three days back from cancer treatment in Germany. The treatment, by the way, may not be having the desired affect, at least according to the lover.

What? No more royalty checks coming in? Why does he feel the need to sell out her dying days to the tabloids? You mean to tell me this gifted actor cannot find work? Has he finally burned all his bridges, or is he so strung out that he can't leave the house?

Ryan sat down with Radar Online to talk about Farrah's condition and how they've exhausted all avenues of treatment. He talks about her losing her hair, spending her days in bed, completely unaware of the disaster her boys have made of their lives. They even trucked junkie jailbird Redmond in from jail for a tearful farewell visit with his mother. Ryan lies to Redmond about his mother's condition, not telling him that her days are numbered. He lies to Farrah, not telling her about her son's multiple drug offenses and re-incarceration. It's a sad state of affairs.

Unlike poor Jade Goody, the British reality star who chose to record her dying days on film to both finance her children's futures and provide a legacy, Farrah did not choose this. She has always maintained her dignity by protecting her privacy, and it's a shame that she's being exploited when she's unable to defend herself. There should be laws against parasites like O'Neal.
