$95 is all that it is going to cost Tatum O'Neal for her drug bust. Instead of the charges she was facing, Tatum plead guilty to disorderly conduct and will pay a $95 fine and attend a total of 8 hours in a drug treatment program. $95 is less than the money she spent allegedly buying the damn coke in the first place.
Look, I can understand if someone gets busted for a first offense that you want to give them a second chance, or maybe even a third. Maybe. But Tatum has had her chances. If this had been any of us, we would have been screwed for sure. What about the guy who allegedly sold it to her? What do you think is happening to him? You think he would jump up and down if his attorney got him the same deal. Hell yes he would. Unfortunately it is a little tough to jump up and down when you are in ankle shackles.
What lesson did Tatum learn here? Hmmm. Her book sales which had been floundering jumped so she made more money from that. She learned that it is probably wise to make her alleged coke purchases in a more private setting or to have someone do it for her. She also learned that she still has some celebrity left. Now that the matter has been settled, look for that People Magazine cover story about how this has changed her life and how she is going to write a new book about people who are struggling with life and make even more money off the bust.

Celebs always get off, I am not surprised.
i don't know who decided she still had "celebrity" left though........ i don't even think britney has THAT anymore.
I paid a $160 fine for drinking a Starbucks on the Blueline from Long Beach one morning.
Tatum needs a good ass-whuppin' from Dr. Drew.
If OJ can be walking amongst us, then so can Tatum. I hope she's learned something from this, buys a new dog, and gets on with her life.
I live in New York City, and have had a few friends, ahem, arrested. They not only spent more than one night in the tombs, they faced huge fines, and some times a few months at Rikers, for very similar offenses (or lesser than) to T. O'neil's. i am so offended that she got off so easy. Maybe she will OD with her brother Redmond.
I have a former aquaintance who was in Japan modeling, they found drugs on him, & he spent a 1 1/2 years in a Japanese prison doing forced labor.
I totallt think the US is WAY to lenient. Not that Tatum should get 18 months, but $95 is basically a parking ticket.
$95 is like 8 crack rocks, right?
ITA, Arian. Way too lenient, especially with celebrities.
Sorry, ADrian.
Methinks she was pretty confident she'd get a slap on the wrist & weighed the pros (book publicity & publicity in general) against the cons (slap/wrist). Shrewd move Ms. O'Neal.
Judi-- I like the capitiol D--maybe I'll keep it! Arian sounds like something from Scooby-doo.
