I don’t know too much about Kate Hudson‘s upbringing, but I do know that her mom, Goldie Hawn, had a 30-year love affair with Kurt Russell and it’s Russell who pretty much raised Kate and her brother Oliver. The kids’ biological father, Bill Hudson, was divorced from Hawn by the time Kate was 18 months old, and he hasn’t really been in their lives since. Well, now he’s claiming that the decision not to be involved with his kids wasn’t his fault at all, and basically screw them, because he’s publicly disowning them after they dissed him on Father’s Day.
First, here are the Instagram posts that set him off:
And here’s Bill’s lengthy and insane statement to The Daily Mail (which… his choice of publication alone should be enough to show you where his head is at):
‘I say to them now, ‘“I set you free,” he pronounced, his voice breaking. ‘I had five birth children but I now consider myself a father of three. I no longer recognise Oliver and Kate as my own.
‘I would ask them to stop using the Hudson name. They are no longer a part of my life. Oliver’s Instagram post was a malicious, vicious, premeditated attack. He is dead to me now. As is Kate. I am mourning their loss even though they are still walking this earth.’
Ummm… WHAT? That’s so insane! He also went on to claim that Goldie poisoned the kids against him and that he’d been trying to be involved with Kate and Oliver’s lives for years but they rejected him. Which I guess makes perfect sense when you consider that he’s now “mourning their loss” because they’re dead to him? Someone needs to hit up some therapy.
Reading back it looks like the custody agreement they had was only in effect if Goldie was in L.A. and Goldie was rarely there so he rarely got his part of the custody. She could have done it deliberately, but who knows?
