Here’s poor Redmond O’Neal, being shamelessly hounded by the paparazzi as he goes on a grocery run. Redmond, you’ll recall, was arrested along with his father, Ryan O’Neal, early Wednesday morning, when the cops found meth on Redmond and in Ryan’s bedroom.

I do feel bad for the poor kid, who’s never done anything to put himself in the spotlight, trying to deal with these paparazzi assholes, but then he comes with this line: “It’s just a major misunderstanding. Life goes on, you know,” and later adds that “it happens to everyone.”

I totally hear that, Redmond. I’ve been in the same situation. I don’t smoke meth, either. But sometimes I pass out in my bathtub after three or four days of smoking crack, and I wake up two days later and all my crackhead friends are gone, and now there’s fucking meth in my bedroom. And I just stare at the shit, like, “This must be some sort of a misunderstanding.”

Best of luck to ya, kid.

Ryan O’Neal and his 24-year-old son, Redmond (who is, tragically, a red-head), were both busted for meth possession early this morning.

Authorities said they were doing a probation search at the family’s Malibu home when they found Redmond O’Neal in possession of methamphetamine and a vial of the drug was allegedly found in Ryan’s bedroom.

I bet Redmond was the type of dude who would brag to his friends, like, “Yeah, I know it seems pathetic that I still live at home, but you know what, assholes? Dad buys all my meth. Yeah. That’s right. You’re jealous now, aren’t you, punkass?”

They’re both being held on $10K bail.
