Comments on: Richard Dreyfuss sues his own father and his uncle http://www.celebitchy.com/13489/richard_dreyfuss_sues_his_own_father_and_his_uncle/ Stylish celebrity escapism Tue, 14 Feb 2012 04:23:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: elisha http://www.celebitchy.com/13489/richard_dreyfuss_sues_his_own_father_and_his_uncle/#comment-76195 elisha Mon, 11 Aug 2008 00:04:18 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=13489#comment-76195 Are we talkin' 2984 BC? Annnnywhooo. My family is going through some financial stuff right now too. My gramps is losing his ranch. My aunt lives there too. She's ten years younger than my dad and the "baby." Well, she's over 40 and has never lived anywhere that my Grandpa hasn't payed for. Gramps is getting foreclosed on and my aunt is hurtling accusations about my parents letting Gma and Gpa go homeless, etc. THe thing is, everytime my parents have bailed Grampa out before, he either a.) gets back into financial trouble again becaause he has to pay for something for my aunt or b.) just gives the money directly to my aunt. So, there's a lot more to it than that, but all I can say is I can totally understand Dreyfuss suing his dad. Just because you're family doesn't mean you shouldn't learn financial responsibility. It's like, the "principle" of the matter. Are we talkin’ 2984 BC?

Annnnywhooo. My family is going through some financial stuff right now too. My gramps is losing his ranch. My aunt lives there too. She’s ten years younger than my dad and the “baby.” Well, she’s over 40 and has never lived anywhere that my Grandpa hasn’t payed for.

Some people have horrible, nasty parents. I have had to consider getting a restraining order against my mother because of her violent temper and threats. Its not an easy thing to do, but that's life. I have to protect myself and my family, that's the bottom line. Velvet Elvis: Don’t judge. Some people have horrible, nasty parents.

Suing an elderly parent...unthinkable. They gave you life and everything else as a kid...forgiving a loan when you're a multi millionaire is the least you can do.

As someone already mentioned, maybe his dad and uncle are long time con artists and Richard has finally had enough. I have a few lying and cheating members of my own family whom I'd love to sue if I had the financial means to do so.

Why should they not be repaying a million dollars? He probably wouldn't have sued if they had given him an accounting abut the money. If my parents pulled this on me I could live with suing them. It is not right for anyone especially your own father to rip you off. It sounds more like they had a serries of loans from him and just kept getting one loan after another.

If he did not have it, then that's the way the loan crumbles... I'm shocked he would go to such lengths, but maybe he IS broke. What hard feelings this is going to cause with a father in his last stages of life. I hope it is all worth it, because by the time it is all over with and heard in courts, I doubt old Daddy-o will still be alive. Can Richard live with that?? I hope so.

It's his FAMILY, and sure it was a hefty sum, but if he was concerned about them paying it back then he should have NEVER lent them that much. I'm sure Dreyfuss could make that much in one film, so he needs to go back to work if he wants to see it. Just get on some sitcom or a grouchy old man movie or something. Asking your dad and uncle to pay back such an enormous sum is LAME! What a jerk-off!

I mean, it's been 24 years--is the money so important that you couldn't let it go? On the other hand, I know nothing about Dreyfuss's relationship with his father and uncle. Maybe they really have taken advantage of RD and, based on the kind of people they are, deserve to be sued. I agree with I Choose Me and Geronimo about lending money to family, although sometimes even just giving it doesn't help if the family member does not appreciate it or treats you like their personal ATM. I've had that experience before, too, and it's really upsetting. I’m kind of torn on this–on the one hand, suing your 80-something year old father, no matter how much money it is, seems awful to me.

I assume there are more things that we are not told about the nature of the relationship. Just because they are "family" doesn't give them the right to exploit and rip off a person who is more vulnerable due to his fame and the media attention.
