Redmond O’Neal Allowed to Visit Farrah Fawcett

Redmond O’Neal was allowed to leave jail for three hours over the weekend to see his mother Farrah Fawcett who is currently battling cancer.

The visit was supervised by a sergeant and deputy who drove him to his mother’s house and then returned him to prison.

A temporary release for inmates is common when a family member is gravely ill, to attend a funeral, or for a serious emergency which has led to rampant speculation that Farrah, 62, might be on her death bed, something her reps are denying.

“Of course she’s ill, but nothing should be read into the timing of Redmond’s visit,” says a source close to Fawcett. “Redmond’s attorney had requested that he be allowed to visit his mom a while ago. It was not a crisis or emergency. Farrah is status quo. He had a lovely visit with his mom. Farrah was thrilled to see him. It was a wonderful visit.”

Mmmm, it sounds fishy to us.

Redmond, 24, is currently being held in jail on drug charges pending a court hearing on April 29th.
