Farrah Fawcett returns to the US, son is arrested for DUI


Farrah in May, 2007
Farrah Fawcett has enough on her plate. After learning a year ago that her cancer had returned, she traveled to Germany multiple times to try some alternative treatments for the disease. She returned to America Tuesday night, while ET and Insider are running a series on her treatment filmed by friend Alana Stewart.

However, her reason for returning might not have been the good news that she’s beaten cancer, but because her boy is in trouble.

On January 26 at around 3:20 AM, Los Angeles County Sheriffs pulled over the 23-year-old for speeding on PCH in Malibu, and arrested him for DUI, felony possession of heroin and methamphetamine. Redmond was released on $10,000 bail. No court date has been set.

In 2005, Redmond pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine and methamphetamine. According to the National Enquirer, Redmond has been in rehab a dozen times.

In 2007, Ryan got into a fight with his other son, Griffin, after Griffin allegedly tied Redmond to a staircase. Griffin claimed to have found Redmond unresponsive and feared his brother had overdosed, so he chained Redmond to a banister to prevent him from leaving to get drugs.

Redmond is the son of Farrah and Ryan O’Neal, her long term boyfriend, from 1982 until now.

Farrah was initially diagnosed with anal cancer in October 2006, and on her 60th birthday, February 2nd 2007 told the world she was cancer free, calling it an ‘extraordinarily happy day.’

Unfortunately that night the fracas with Ryan O’Neal and his sons occurred. Then just months later in May she found that the cancer had returned. This was when she decided to head to Germany for the treatment not yet available in the United States.

Now her friend Cher says that the treatment was successful.

“She’s tough. I don’t think I could’ve gone through what she did,” Cher told Billy. “She is now cancer free so this will be a real interesting thing.”

Stunning news from the legendary diva about Farrah’s condition and, in fact, it was Cher who encouraged her friend to seek treatment in Germany.

“It is a completely different kind of treatment,” Cher explained. “She had the cancer and then it went to her liver and so what they do there is, instead of giving you chemo all over, they do a thing called (chemo)embolization where they take whatever chemo that they were going to give you and they put it directly into the tumors into your liver and then when they shrink down smaller enough they do a thing called Cyberknife and they go in and they just take it out.”

I really hope she doesn’t get cancer again – I think everyone knows someone who has had cancer, and you always fear it will return. Farrah has made no comment on her current health.
