Craig Nevius, a friend of the late actress Farrah Fawcett and producer of the television show Chasing Farrah, is asking a Los Angeles judge to dismiss a $1 million defamation lawsuit that Ryan O'Neal filed against him, Breaking Celebrity News is reporting.
O’Neal filed the defamation suit after the University of Texas filed a lawsuit against O'Neal for failure to turn over an Andy Warhol Farrah Fawcett lithograph that the Charlie's Angels star left to her alma mater in her will. Nevius spoke to the media about the Warhol still being in O'Neal's possession.
Nevius says that O'Neal, once Hollywood's golden boy, is "now better known for his womanizing, drug abuse, various criminal arrests and savage beatings of his children."
