TATUM O'NEAL: MY FATHER HATES ME

Tatum O'Neal claims her father hated her for winning an Oscar.

The actress won the prestigious accolade aged just ten when she supported her dad, actor Ryan O'Neal, in 1973's "Paper Moon."

But rather than praise her for her achievement, Tatum insists her father took out his own career frustrations on her.

Tatum, 42, confessed to Britain's Stella magazine: "Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me - literally hated me. Forever!"

Tatum later married US tennis star John McEnroe, who she had three children with, in 1986 and battled heroin addiction in the wake of their eventual split in 1992.

The actress blames her father's rejection for her problems in adulthood. She said: "I'm not going to get into the psychology of it, but I feel as women it is our responsibility to get away from men like that. I didn't choose my father, but I chose to leave home."
