Tom Hanks And Rita Wilson Cut Off 30-Year-Old Son Chet After He Started Drinking Again, Claims Ex-Girlfriend Who's Suing Him For Alleged Assault

The woman suing Chet Hanks for alleged assault says the formerly sober rapper/actor has been in a downward spiral since falling off the wagon, prompting his famous parents to cut him off financially.

In an exclusive interview with Breaking Celebrity News, Kiana Parker said Chet began drinking alcohol again early last year, around the time the coronavirus pandemic began making its way across the country. When Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson found out, Kiana said they stopped paying for his things, which she believes may have affected his treatment of her.
"Our relationship was OK, but he wasn't OK," she told us. "He wasn't treating me bad, he was just dealing with his mom and dad cutting him off because he started drinking and smoking weed again, and that wasn't in their rule book to support him. So they cut him off."
"His apartment was up, his roommate was moving and he didn't have anywhere to go," she said, adding that she helped him find an apartment "to be there when nobody was. He would have bad days when he would get texts from his parents and fight so many demons and so many issues.”

"Where I'm from, how I was raised, my parents love and support, and that's our way of healing and getting through things," Kiana went on, "so me just doing those southern things was what I thought was pouring love, support, being there. I thought that could help. But what I learned is you can't fight anyone else's demons."
"He's been – he's still to this day, I don't care what anyone says, I know him – he's fighting a lot of childhood demons. A lot," she said. "That's the main problem with him is his parents. It's not perfect like the world thinks. So he's dealing with that and was dealing with trying to stay sober with no drinking, but he's back doing that."

During the lockdown, like many of us, Kiana said the two were "stuck to each other."
"From my understanding – I mean, we've taken trips, we even talked about marriage – I thought there was gonna be a future, which is why I stayed," she said, adding that Chet even spent Christmas with her and her 9-year-old twin daughters. "In any relationship, you have to fight for your relationship, fight for commitment, fight for everything that takes to be in a relationship. And it just ended so different than what I expected, but I'm OK with it. I'm actually happy. I'm happy that I'm not fighting anyone else's demons. That's really deep. I didn't really know [what he was going through] until I met him, but you can't do that. It's not healthy for you. I have two daughters that are incredible and look up to me."
