Part 5/6:
Upon learning that she had been left out of Ryan O'Neal's will, Tatum's response was blunt and revealing of her feelings: “Keep it, mother.” This phrase encapsulates her disappointment and potential resentment toward her father's final wishes, suggesting that financial inheritance from someone with whom she shared a tumultuous bond holds little value for her.
Adding a generational perspective to the conversation, Tatum's 38-year-old son, Kevin, also chimed in, labeling the inheritance as “blood money.” His comments reflect not only disbelief at the situation but a sense of protectiveness for his mother and her struggles.
