Tatum O’Neil is a Good Liar

When the cops busted actress Tatum O’Neal for buying cocaine and crack in New York City the other day, she claimed she was doing research for a role as a drug user. That of course was a lie. Now she says her dog made her do it. Something like that anyway…

“I’m still sober!” the 44-year-old Paper Moon Oscar winner proclaimed to the New York Post. “Just when I was about to change that and wreck my life, the cops came and saved me. I was saved by the bell, by the guys in the 7th precinct.”

“There’s no excuse for what I did,” she told the Post. “I lost my Scottish terrier, Lena. That seemed to set me off.”

O’Neal told the Post that her dog’s death three weeks ago rekindled the grief she felt after her mother died in 1998. The dog “was the fabric of our family. We had to let her go to heaven. My daughter and I had to put her down. It was too horrible for words. I couldn’t get out of it. I was going to my psychiatrist. I was doing everything I could do. I have the disease of alcoholism. It’s lifelong. I treat it every day by going to my 12-step program.”

For some reason I still think she is lying, but at least she had most of a day in jail to think up something better than the movie role one. I actually like this new lie a lot better. It’s fairly realistic and believable. It also can appeal and grab sympathy from anyone that’s ever lost a pet or a person. As lies go, it’s about an 8/10. Nice work.
