This story is kind of pathetic, and I’m not entirely sure that there’s a winning side at all. Kate Hudson’s biological father, Bill Hudson, has “written” his memoirs. From what Radar has learned, Bill has really dug down deep to drag his daughter and her mother, Goldie Hawn. One might think that this is some sort of Billy Ray Cyrus-styled emotional blackmail (in the vein of fame destroying a family) at work here, but it’s not quite that deep.
Instead, Bill Hudson is a major wanker trying to make a buck off his daughter, who he says has done “horrible things.” Surprisingly, he’s not even talking about all of the crappy romantic comedies that she’s made! Instead, this has to do with Kate being a bad daughter and granddaughter, and he accuses Goldie of creating the perfect storm of “parental alienation” (which is a legal term of art that can be classified as child abuse) against him. Bill Hudson shouldn’t have waited to bringing this complaint up in a public venue like a published memoir. He should have done so in court when Kate was much younger. Yeah, this is gonna get messy:
Goldie Hawn and daughter Kate Hudson are about to be exposed by someone who was once very close to them.
Goldie’s ex-husband and father of Kate, Bill Hudson, has written a tell-all that will be released this fall and RadarOnline.com has obtained the cover of the book titled 2 Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family.
Bill, 61, married Goldie in 1976 and the couple had Kate and brother Oliver Hudson together before divorcing in 1980, and the children were ultimately raised by Goldie’s life partner, Kurt Russell, who she met shortly after her relationship with Bill ended.
Reports surfaced earlier this year that Bill was shopping his tell-all book, and RadarOnline.com has learned pre-orders are already being taken online and it will hit stands on November 1, 2011.
“Life in the spotlight is not without its consequences, and the Hudson family was no exception,” the book’s website touts. “While enjoying success as a part of the 1970s musical group The Hudson Brothers, Bill Hudson fell in love and married actress Goldie Hawn.
“After their divorce, Bill found himself in the middle of the controversial issue of parental alienation. His rights as a father to see his children were often played out in the media because Oliver and Kate became actors themselves.”
Devastating secrets and salacious details of both Goldie and Kate’s lives are expected to be revealed.
As RadarOnline.com was first to report, Bill accused Kate of not visiting or calling her dying grandma, who is battling Alzheimer’s disease.
“Kate doesn’t have to talk to me and she doesn’t have to give her a dime of her millions. All I want is for her to call and say, ‘Hi grandma’, before it’s too late,” Bill said.
“I love Kate, but… She has done stuff which is just awful. She is a spoiled brat in my eyes and at the end of the day, she should meet her little sister. I should meet my grandchild and she should help her grandmother.”
Along with Goldie, Bill also had a marriage to “Laverne & Shirley” star Cindy Williams, and promises to dish on stories about her as well.
“Now Bill is ready to share his fascinating Hollywood stories of life as a teen idol and husband to two famous women, Goldie Hawn and Cindy Williams,” the book’s site says.
“His book also talks about how parents can often become alienated from their children when they don’t have primary custody. Hopefully, at some point, this family will be able to have a healthy adult relationship before it’s too late.”
[From Radar]
According to Amazon, the actual title of the book is So You Are A Star: Coming to Terms with Fame, Infatuation, and Family. No one would buy this book without Bill injecting as much controversy into it as possible. Nobody has really cared about Bill Hudson in a number of decades. I’m not saying that Kate isn’t an entitled brat, but she certainly doesn’t deserve for her bio dad to be using her name to make money. There’s probably a good reason that Kate has always considered Kurt Russell to be her father. The fact that Bill is airing his family’s dirty laundry in public is a good illustration of why.

I’m not a fan of Kate or Goldie, but I do agree with you that this is just sour grapes and emotional blackmail.
If he truly wanted a relationship with his kids, this is not the way to go about it.
I agree that he went the wrong way about this but I wish people would stop trashing him.
“I love Kate, but… She has done stuff which is just awful.”
When I first read this quote I thought he was referring to her movies.
“Stuff that is just awful” = wanting nothing to do with a toxic, attention-whoring sperm donor who relinquished his parental rights long ago?
She named her kids after Kurt Russell’s family. I’d say that’s a pretty good indication of how she feels about this guy.
He sounds like a real treat. Attempted guilt tripping through public publication of a book? Wow. No wonder she thinks of Kurt as her father.
Me too Anna. My mind went to ALEX AND EMMA, SOMETHING BORROWED, HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS, BRIDE WARS, the list goes on and on. She really just does movies for the paychecks, doesn’t she?
No doubt Kate can be a brat and a bitch but Bill Hudson is only making himself look even worse. Don’t like any of this family much to be honest.
i have absolutely no views on this-except to beg kate to retire from making movies..she’s so annoying in all her roles..become the fat haus frau u were born 2 b b!+&h!!
Groan… My absent father used to pull the “bad daughter” stuff on me too. “Why don’t you ever call me?”. I was SEVEN. This guy sounds like the same sort of “what do you mean it’s not about me all the time?” douche. Ah, crappy dads, they ALWAYS get old…
Any one notice he say grandchild, not grandchildren…..cleary he cares…..gross
Call me crazy, but if he was concerned about parental alination, maybe family court is the way to go. He said he doesn’t want anything from her. Just “help” her grandmother who has alzheimers and would not know who she was anyway. He’s a real piece of work. Probably signed off so he would not have to pay child support and now this is his way of getting parental support. I remember Kate saying he never sent her a birthday card.
Hate fathers like that. If he had really cared about his daughter when she was young, he would have dragged Goldie through the courts and we would all have known about it.
Instead he now starts whining about her not giving money.
What a piece of useless crap.
What a complete Asshole! Does he really think this will put him in a good light? I’m not a fan of Goldie or Kate,but if anything they’ll get more sympathy out of this mess.
So what this boils down to is he’s pissed Kate isn’t paying Grandma’s medical bills or forking her money over to him just because they share DNA?
Let’s hear it Bill!
Over the years he has come out from under his rock to whine about his relationship with his children. I’m sure nothing is his fault. *eye roll* Note that he zeros in on Kate and her millions. Another book I don’t need to read.
If his mother has Alzheimer’s, then she won’t know who Kate is. It’s the responsibility of him and his brothers to care for their mother, not Kate.
I’m glad everyone sees right through him. He reminds me of my dad, that sonofabtch.
What I don’t understand is why keep the “Hudson” if Kate & Oliver want nothing to do with him – like a certain Miss Voight who legally changed her surname because she hated her father?
It does explain a lot of her can’t-be-without-a-man Daddy issues though! (Although not why KH is the famous one, rather than her hot bro.)
Like you said, Bedhead, there’s a reason why Kate Hudson has always considered Kurt Russell her father.
And, although I like “Overboard” and “Almost Famous,” I am not a fan of Goldie or her sprog. But, Bill Hudson is a tool.
she doesn’t have to give her a dime of her millions
No kidding, dude. Because YOU are the parent, not the other way around.
What a whiny manchild. Coming to terms with fame… o the agony! Just thinking about fame gives him the vapors and he has to lie down until one of his ex-wives cuts him a check.
I don’t like Kate or her movies at all, but I can totally get why she has no relationship with him. Sounds like the guy couldn’t be bothered to be in their lives when they were kids and is now trying to cash in on them.
@Tapioca
I’ve wondered that, too. Maybe to distance herself from Hawn and Russell when she started “acting”? The only way I know who Bill Hudson is, is because I very vaguely remember the “Hudson Brothers Show” on Saturday morning. Who the hell knows who Bill Hudson is?
She could have done what Natalie Portman did, and used a family friend’s name, or something similar.
His little stunt will really backfire on him, because KH has always been very open that she considers Kurt her Dad, and that her father never even called her or sent her a card on her birthday. I’m wondering if his parents didn’t, either.
Lol, what is the “awful” stuff this scumbag thinks Kate has done when he hasn’t even been in her life for 30 years! oops, silly me, it was her not listening to his blackmail attempts.
Also gotta laugh at how the book seems to focus more on Kate, totally ignoring Oliver. I read ya loud & clear Bill, go where there’s money & fame. I’m sure there are doozy stories on Goldie & Cindy Williams, but who cares about those old hags right?
He sounds like the perfect example of psychological projection to me. What an ass. Pretends to care, but has no concern for the effects on his own grandchildren. Douche.
What a dirtbag. I could give or take Kate Hudson….I’d rather her not bring her kids around every guy she sees, but so far she seems to be a doting mother and is close to her mom and stepdad. Most children aren’t close to their parents because of the parents. That was my case anyway-they blame the child, but in all reality it was the opposite and that’s the only way they can justify their behavior.
Thought it was in ref to her movies as well! LOL 🙂
Asides from that, he sounds horrible and should be a perfect warning to other stars… the shit always come out. Most of this may even be made up crap. This is not going to make Kate come running to see him. It will only drive her away more. SMH
Always famous still is her best film … let’s forget about the other ones!
He is bitter over Kate having “millions.”
*shudders*
*dusts myself off*
Get out of my headspace father!
Hugs to all of us who had their head space invaded by a dad like this today.
No wonder she has distanced herself from him and I am not even a fan of Kate.
She has done stuff which is just awful.
That is SUCH a coincidence! So have I! Oh. Right. It’s called being part of the human race.
Agreed about the quality of her film roles tho. Yeesh. How did any of the actors keep a straight face in How to Lose a Guy?
For what it’s worth, and only because I’m old enough to remember it, he did spend much of their childhood in family court trying to enforce his parental right to visitation. His argument at the time was that Goldie purposefully moved further and further away to make it as hard as possible for him to see the kids. Parental alienation is a real thing and just because Hudson may be a bit of a dick, it doesn’t mean that Goldie was any better.
Ok after seeing those excerpts I can see why Kate wants to have nothing to do with him. He is an entitled a-hole. Why the hell would she want her family around that jerk so he could just emotionally abuse them? What a prick.
Terrible stuff.Selling out family for a dollar? You couldn’t get more Hollywood. But it makes for great gossip.
Unfortunate that this A-hole would be so insensitive to put this book out a month after his new grandchild came into the world. It says everything about where is head and heart are. If he really wanted anything to do with them he should be contrite and STFU and apologize for all the shizz he obviously did(see Jon Voight). I don’t blame Kate for ignoring the rest of the family since that also would come with him in the package. She’s got Kurt who has obviously done right by her and her brother.
There really are two sides to every story. If Kate really doesn’t want to have anything to do with her father, I’m sure it does hurt. Goldie could have easily pusher her agenda onto her children with a new replacement partner stepping in. Kurt sounds like a wonderful step-parent, but as the father, it’s got to hurt to always hear about Kurt while you have not been able to have a relationship with your children.
Parental alienation is something that family court is only starting to recognize as a serious issue. Back when he went to court it would have been considered irrelevant. But he does sound like a piece of work…
I saw a Bill Hudson interview, and I feel bad for the guy. It seems that Goldie made it very difficult for him to see the children. She made excuses why he couldn’t see the kids and he tried repeatedly to see them, only to have the door slammed in his face. I have seen this scene played out many times in angry divorces…the kids being used as pawns.
The cruelest thing he’s done is using a cover photo with her old nose.
“I love Kate, but… She has done stuff which is just awful.”
I thought that was about her sluttiness and being a bad example for her son – kind of like the pot and the kettle.
I have a dead-beat dad and there is no sympathy here for Bill Hudson. He could have tried harder to be in her life. He is the adult here not Kate (in the 80s). If Goldie really was being difficult, that is what courts are for.
Note: his son isn’t mentioned.
I knew someone that went to high school with Kate….she said Kate was a bully and a Biotch!! I believe it!!
he says has done “horrible things.” Surprisingly, he’s not even talking about all of the crappy romantic comedies that she’s made!
That made laugh til no end!
@neelyo Did you not like Alex & Emma in general or because of KH? Because, I thought it was a funny movie & loved everyone in their roles EXCEPT KH.
This is all so very nasty & was certainly avoidable..if only Bill Hudson would’ve exercised some spiritual principles. Revenge NEVER works.
Yes, I’m certain there’s plenty of mud for both sides to sling around….but….NEVER a good idea to do it in public. Whether Bill Hudson knows it or not, his book, & every salacious detail he writes in it, is also consequently by default, a POINT by POINT summary as to why he was an unsuitable father in the first place.
Thank you JUSTAPOSTER!
What a tool this guy is…and he wonders why??
Eff that, Mr. Hudson. No one is obligated to maintain a relationship with a family member because of a blood bond. You choose the people in your life, and my guess is that Kate is better off without her biological father who’s selling her out for a quick buck.
To people crying “family comes first”/”you’re a monster if you don’t love your mum/dad”, tell that to my mother who severed all ties to my grandmother who was a vicious sociopath with a nice helping of “woe is me” histrionics on top. My family has definitely had a better life without that toxic relationship.
Couldn’t wait to scroll all the way down to make this comment….
Its a sad day when a father turns on his own daughter for monetary gain….when its his job to love and protect her from this sometimes cruel world,its by his own hand that cruelty is meted out….
I don’t care how bad her movies are,I feel bad for her because the pain of this betrayal is unimaginable to me…
*raises glass*
Here’s to all the good dads out there though *mine included*
Poor guy is broke. Let him make some money. I too remember Bill and Goldie fighting in court over visitation. This book is called karma.
@Proudly Nigerian: Gonna join you in raising my cup of tea to my dad. Good on ya, Pops!!!! Love you.
He probably could kick himself now and wishes that had had maintained a better relationship with Kate, because it would have been a whole lot easier to sponge off of her now, if he had. Maybe this is a last-ditch effort — he feels if he threatens to write a book, they might “pay him off” instead??
Kate may not be great, but she is a better parent than he is already.
I doubt Bill is having financial troubles. He is married to Cindy Williams of Laverne & Shirley fame. I’m sure she is loaded.
@#50
He is married to Cindy Williams of Laverne & Shirley fame. I’m sure she is loaded.
Cindy and Hudson had an UGLY divorce about 10 years ago. She had a bunch to say about what a jerk he is, and if I remember correctly she also tried to get full custody….Are you noticing a pattern?
@Stella —
How is this “karma” for Kate Hudson?
@proudly Nigerian
Agreed — cheers to good dads everywhere (mine included).
I’m pretty sure selling out your estranged daughter’s secrets will land you in the same circle of hell as Kate Gosselin and the mothers on Toddlers and Tiaras. I hope the place just reeks of large quantities of cash (which smells a lot like cocaine. . .) and said “parents” spend eternity abusing and prostrating themselves for the chance to be validated by their only love – money.
Anything to make a buck, I suppose.
My sympathies to those of you who had “Bill Hudson” as a father. It’s unfortunate that slimeballs are able to reproduce viable offspring with the populous. (But what wonderful offspring you are, and we’re glad you’re here! 🙂 )
I’ve just found the perfect match for Bill Hudson – Kate Gosselin!
hmph, I’ll read it why should Kate NOT have a tell all by someone who knows her..its happens–shrugs.
why should she be exempt?? I’m more interested in Goldie and Cindy though.
don’t burn bridges with your family, especially your grandmother.
My sympathies as well go out to the poor women who had a Bill Hudson type as a husband & father to their children. My husband pretty much abandoned our daughter after I left him. He payed no child support & disappeared for years at a time. He never had a relationship with our daughter growing up. Now that she is all grown up with children of her own, he has turned my daughter against me & I never get to see her or my grandkids. My daughter thinks he is just wonderful & I am the terrible parent even though I loved & raised her to adulthood. Gosh…it feels good to have that off my chest.
All he had to do was regularly take them for his court assigned visits, it sounds like when Goldie fought him, or made excuses why the kids didn’t want to go he gave up and whined about it for years but never went to court to make Goldie comply. I believe during the time of all of this happening many people thought she paid Hudson off to just go away and he did. It’s odd this would come up when his children are around 30 years old, rather than when his 4 year marriage broke up and he would have been able to have every other weekend visits and at least one night a week for a dinner meeting. I had friends who did this their entire childhood around the same time. He never wanted to make Goldie comply, so now this does look like his children are strangers and have no desire to have contact with Bill and his solution is to embarrass them and make a few bucks in the process. This will mean neither of his kids will ever contact him again, so he shut that door himself forever. Kate doesn’t care about a strange woman with Alzheimers because she doesn’t know the woman, not hard to understand because they are strangers. He married Shirley or Lavern I forget which one and has been living off her money for years, could that be running out now?
@Truthful: I don’t think it’s that people are saying Kate should necessarily be exempt, but more that BH is acting like a dickhead.
@Truthful
Except, Bill Hudson doesn’t know Kate.
as someone who used to be married to a movie executive & lived in los angeles, i can tell you this: it is widely known in that business that goldie hawn is quite the witch/bitch who deliberately practiced parental alienation, using her considerable power & millions to do so. this is difficult to fight but bill hudson tried. & tried. in those days, men rarely fought this & simply stoically accepted being shut out of their childrens’ lives.
so please don’t be so quick to judge. there are many stories like his.
Bill is bitter and vengeful with Goldie for years. My opinion, he’s mad that he didn’t get a cut of her millions. He’s been gripping about this for DECADES. Get over it buddy. The kids always liked Kurt more than you and your literary temper-tantrum isn’t going to change that.
Don’t think for one minute that Goldie Hawn is a ditzy blonde. She’s a smart cookie and paved the way for many women in Hollywood in terms of negotiating movie contracts, etc. I have the utmost respect for her because she helped better working conditions for women in the entertainment field.
Edit – I feel for those people who are telling tales about poor parents. I have my own tales to tell too. If I could give Bill a bit of advice, emotional blackmail only works on those that actually like you.
“He’s been gripping about this for DECADES.”
“griping”… although gripping works too.
Yeah, poor Bill … if he wants to have some sort of loving relationship with his daughter (and have her chip in some buck$ for Gramma’s care) it sure makes sense to, oh I don’t know, SPIT OUT A QUICKIE BOOK AND MAKE MONEY OFF HER. That’ll do it, you bet. Works every time. Kate will be on the phone by next week scheduling a family reunion.
My dad’s birthday was yesterday. The SOB is an alcoholic and a terrible excuse for a human being. He threw me out of the house when I was 18 — during a major snowstorm — no place for me to go, with just the clothes on my back. Now, 33 years later, he’s experiencing hard financial times and guess what? HE WANTS TO KNOW HIS GRANDCHILDREN. HE WANTS A LOVING RELATIONSHIP.
He wants money. Just like Bill.
(Too bad I’m over it all and don’t have even the slightest inclination to even be in the same room with the bastard. And yeah, my dad also fought over custody and visitation rights in court. He did it to screw over my mom more than anything else — it surely wasn’t that he wanted to see his kids. You gotta wonder if this is anything like the Hudson situation.)
Thankfully, I’m not famous, or my dad would probably have gotten some equally-needy ghostwriter and spit out his own tell-all moneygrab.
Considering Kate thinks of Kurt as her dad, I’m assuming THIS guy did some awful things too.
I’m surprised that so many here don’t like Goldie. I’ve liked quite a few of her movies and I always thought she was a gorgeous woman…well, until the bad plastic surgeries.
Alienated my behind!! My parents divorced when i was really young and from across the United States my father moved and instated himself in our lives.
IRENE HARVEY – Goldie may be a witch and may have tried to alienate him and used all her money BUT that is no excuse. He had rights and could have been very involved in his kids lives IF HE CHOSE TO BE. In “those days” is when my father chose to fight to see us & won so the “those days” excuse is a total cop out.
What kind of father writes that his daughter is a brat?! Regardless of what she has supposedly done – no father writes a tell all that bags on his daughter! What a loser!
I am inclined to believe those who have stated that he did fight to see his children, but Goldie made it difficult for him. To me, it seems like the same thing Gabriel Aubry is going through.
This is so sad.
An emotional shitstorm will ensue.
@proudly Nigerian. I’m raising my glass to my Dad too. He’s such an awesome Dad! Cheers:-)!
Lol befor i think she Drew Barrymore without make up. But now i know she kate.
lol, I think all the pro-Bill comments on here are written from Billy-boy himself. He got busted before doing that on another site. Desperate for attention. /-:
“The cruelest thing he’s done is using a cover photo with her old nose.”
hahahaha!!!
I actually notice that too!
There is a wonderful E! True Story for Goldie and Kate… and I seem to recall Kate has had no less than 3 nose jobs. And they started in her early teen years.
What kind of parent trashes their own kid in a book? Oh, I know…a bad one.
Kate Hudson is a TOTAL B*tch and so is Goldie. They BOTH HIDE behind this facade of yoga/tofu cream puff BS, when in fact they are cold hearted SNAKES! GO BILL. I’m glad he’s putting it out there. Bill totally wanted to be a Dad to his kids and Goldie effed him over when the kids were little – and YES – this does have an impact on the kids feelings by the time they’re adults. Parental alienation is a SERIOUS issue! Tons of B*tches do it, and it’s WRONG! Kate and her brother Oliver would have probably grown up to be NICE people, had they had the chance to bond with their bio-dad, but instead, they’re elitist A$$HOLES! SHAME ON YOU GOLDIE! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID, keeping the kiddies from Bill!!!! Plus, Bill is WAY hotter than that crusty ‘ol Kurt!
And NO – this is NOT Bill writing! I’m actually a wonderful, loving mother, who understands how important it is that children are allowed a healthy relationship with BOTH parents! Unless the children are at risk of violence or kidnapping, there is NO EXCUSE to alienate them! Fact is, GOLDIE IS A COMPLETE B*ITCH! Her stupid “spiritual act is as fake as the “eat,pray,love” movie. BARF. SHAME on HER! Bill, I’m 100% behind you buddy. And further, it’s DISGUSTING THAT KATE IS WORTH MILLIONS AND DOESN’T SHARE IT WITH HER DAD! GROSS! I MEAN SERIOUSLY, I DON’T GET ALONG WITH MY SISTER, BUT EVEN SO, IF I HAD MILLIONS, I’D SEND HER A CHECK. CA$H IN BILL – NO SHAME IN THAT. BLOW THE LID OFF THE DIRTY FILTHY SECRETS. GOLDIE, YOU’VE GOT IT COMING. AND KATE – WISE UP, B*ITCH! THAT’S YOUR DADDY, TELLING THE TRUTH, WHICH IS MORE THAN YOUR MAMA HAS EVER DONE FOR YOU..
LAST THING – BILL DIDN’T “TRASH” KATE IN THE BOOK – HE SIMPLY TOLD THE TRUTH – SHE’S GROWN UP TO BE A SNOTTY, SPOILED, SELFISH, COLD HEARTED SNAKE, JUST LIKE HER MOTHER! WHO KNOWS – MAYBE THE TRUTH WILL SET HER FREE. FAT CHANCE IMO….BUT I HOPE BILL GET $OMETHING OUT OF IT, SINCE HE GOT SCREWED FOR LIFE OUT OF RAISING HIS KIDS. IT IS FLAT OUT WRONG THAT WOMEN ARE ABLE TO RUN MEN OFF AND KEEP THEIR KIDS FROM THEM. HOW WOULD YOU LADIES FEEL IF THE COURTS FAVORED THE OTHER FOOT?
Love Kate in the Skeleton Key and Almost Famous. She’s ok in my book.
Kate without makeup is not a pretty woman. Look at that home page picture.
How horrible, Spinner.
I wish you all the best and hope your daughter will realize her mistake when he runs one things get tough.
What a complete and utter douchebag Bill Hudson shows himself to be with this book. Gosh, why on earth *wouldn’t* Kate want to have “a healthy adult relationship” with this jackass? Can’t imagine.
Loving parents don’t trash their children in public. Period. Especially not in order to make a quick buck. Sluggo has this one pegged.
As much as I love gossip, some dirty laundry needs to stay at home in the basket instead of out in the open. He is getting revenge on her and her mother. Tale as old as time me thinks!
He forgot to say he never could afford to pay child support ,and that he lived off Cindy and his bankruptcy and now the divorce from Cindy and his settlement from her? He only kept draging GH to court becaue he was pissed off about her and Kurt Russell. GH divorced him because he was a loser and after he lost his 15 minutes of fame he also lived off of her and she wasn’t buying it. SO now he is going to live off their backs once again. Good show Hudson.
I really think this man is not as bad as he is described! For me, the only monster is Goldie Hawn! Look at her face, I don’t see anyone looks worse with mental illness, except Lady gaga! And Kate is blind because she was grown up with her and her brain is stuck with bulls*it! And for sure, she does everyday’s stuff that are just awfull, she doesn’t make anything else!
There are always two sides to every story. I can believe that parental alienation went on. After all, that’s pretty common in a divorce with young kids. And I can believe that in twisted hollywood, it might be harder to get parental rights when your spouse is an uber-rich and famous celebrity. BUT, I question the likelihood of these scenarios with this fellow, because he’s so obviously trying to get money off of telling terrible things about his children to the public. Even if he was just bashing Goldie, I’d say that he was a common, garden-variety douche thats been burned by the bitter train. But when you drag your children into it, no matter how hurt or angry you may be at them, there’s no turning back. People are going to side with your kids. And they should.
How psycho must Bill Hudson be to think that he will come out of this with any sympathy, whatever bad things he says about his children and ex-wife in his book? It shows how selfabsorbed he is, that he would do this. And yes, funny how there are some new “mystery” posters on here cheerleading for him. Suspich.
@ Flan #78 – Thanks so much for your kind words. It has indeed been tough.
How entitled does he sound? It’s all about what he wants, not what is in the best interest of the family – then or now. I mean what father actual says:
“She is a spoiled brat in my eyes and at the end of the day, she should meet her little sister. I should meet my grandchild and she should help her grandmother.”
No buddy, she has no obligation to you or your extended family. If you or any of your relatives were a part of her life for the right reasons, she would have a relationship with them. You left. You’re just pissed that you don’t get any of their cash or press from their achievements. He seems bitter that he doesn’t get any contact with the grandchildren from both Kate and Oliver. Maybe if he had been a father to them then he would have an opportunity to be a grandfather.
Maybe Goldie wasn’t perfect but lord knows she has been present, supportive, loving and active in her kid’s lives and that is much more than can be said for this guy. Poor excuse of a man.
@Naomi —
Do tell!
Notice someone or their BFF has shown up in this thread.
And, it really galls me to have to be pro Kate again, but she doesn’t owe her money to ANYONE, but herself, and in regards to taking care of her kids.
When Kate got the cover of People for the 50 Most Beautiful, she said Oliver used to tease her and tell her she looks like a hammerhead shark because her eyes are so far apart.
Now that’s all I think about when I see her… hammerhead.
And Oliver is hot.
Sounds like a chicken or the egg problem: Did Bill’s relationship with the children deteriorate because Goldie was trying to alientate them from him; or was Goldie trying to keep Bill away from the children because he was a complete jerk? Publishing a tell-all about his child lends support for the theory that he was not good father material to begin with.
You people all act as if you would be above doing something like this if your child was a celebrity and didn’t give you the time of day..RIGHT!!
Besides I have heard from more than one source thst talentless Kate is a real biotch and clingy as hell with all her boyfriends…Just ask A-Rod..
Maybe Bill should think on his daughter still having Hudson as her last name instead of Russell or Hawn.
On the other hand, actions speak laughter than words and this father’s actions fall into Lohan category. Disgusting!
This guy may not be father of the year, but Kate Hudson and her mom are completely vile from what I’ve seen of this disgusting little drama over the years.
It reminds me of when Jon Voight spoke disparagingly about Angelina. What happened? Far from seeing his grandchildren, he got cut off from Angelina and the kids because it wasn’t healthy for Angelina to have him in her life or her children’s lives because of that. If a parent goes public like this about their child, it only backfires on them. If he knows so much about stardom to pontificate about the pitfalls in a book, how come he didn’t know that?
The book will most likely wind up on the shelves of the dollar stores collecting dust. This guy sounds like a bitter old has-been that is jealous of Goldie’s and Kate’s success. He’s probably been bugging Kate for money and she won’t give him any and this is his way of paying her back. Personally, I would love to read a book by Goldie or Kurt since they’ve been in the business since the 60’s. Now that would be a very good read I’m sure.
