Redmond O’Neal, the son of Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett, has been in jail awaiting trial for attempted murder, among other charges, since last May.
It all began when Redmond ALLEGEDLY tried to rob a Venice Beach 7/11 with a knife, ALLEGEDLY punched a man in the head who tried to speak to him, ALLEGEDLY stabbed someone in the face at the Venice boardwalk, and ALLEGEDLY attacked another man with a bottle.
The ALLEGED victim of that last assault is Ken Fox, and he claims that the attack was a hate crime and so he’s suing Redmond for $100 million in damages.
Note to Ken: if Redmond is trying to rob a 7/11, he probably doesn’t have 100 pennies to pay you.
Nothing alleged about that but here’s the story … Ken was walking down the street when Redmond passed and said:
“What are you looking at, f****t?”
Before he could respond, Fox says O’Neal hit him in the head with a bottle and broke his nose. Fox fell to the ground and O’Neal began punching him as he hurled more expletives.
Shortly after that attack, Fox filed a lawsuit seeking damages “in excess of $25,000” but now he claims to have suffered $200,000 in medical expenses and will incur medical costs in the future totaling $1 million. He says he’s lost $200,000 in earnings and claims he will suffer a loss of future earnings totaling $5,000,000.
Still, not $100 million, but Fox tacked on another million for attorneys’ fees, $50,000,000 for “civil penalties” and then another $20 million in punitive damages.
From a guy who doesn’t have a penny to his name.
