Richard Dreyfuss, actor known for his roles in Jaws and The Goodbye Girl, has a net worth of $5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. However, despite his wealth and assets, his son Ben shared that he and his siblings would not inherit anything from their father. According to USA Today, Ben along with his siblings Emily and Harry has a difficult relationship with their father. Taking to his X last week, Ben wrote:“Everyone assumes my siblings and I are wealthy from our dad and we're all a bit too uncomfortable to make it clear, but we have no money from my dad. My dad has no money. If he did, we wouldn't get it since we've been estranged ever since some complicated family drama to do with MeToo.”Another incident that led to a strain in their relationship was when Harry came forward with his s*xual assault allegation against the American Beauty actor Kevin Spacey. At the time, certain #MeToo allegations also came forward against Richard Dreyfuss. Speaking about the incident, Ben wrote in an X post:“That tweet prompted someone to MeToo my dad. He blames us for that. This led to years of acrimony.”Ben also mentioned the time when an unnamed woman came forward with a #MeToo allegation against Richard Dreyfuss. Following that, there grew discord between the actor and his children. Ben shared:“The woman who MeToo'd my dad I think had a very stupid id**t story, but it didn't matter because it was right around that time when all of this was going on crazy. Anyways, it all led to fights for years and then in 2022, it blew up to the point of [not] speaking anymore.” View this post on Instagram Instagram PostWhy did Ben delete the X posts about Richard Dreyfuss?Despite the differences, Ben wrote that they tried to amend their relationship with Richard Dreyfuss. However, he mentioned that the actor was not willing to settle. He was tired of keeping all of these out of the public eye. In his X post, he asked everyone:“I encourage you if you meet my father to ask him for his version. I'm curious to know what it is.”Furthermore, he continued:“I appreciate people saying nice things to me, but I really don't need that and didn't post this for that. I mostly posted it because I was tired of not talking about it and wanted to rip the Band-aid off. But on a deeper level, I probably just posted it to get my father's attention.”On November 17, Ben also posted an essay on Substack where he wrote about the relationship with Richard Dreyfuss. The above-mentioned X posts have been taken down. Reflecting on that and the subsequent media coverage, Ben said he should not have deleted the posts. However, he opined:“I deleted it because the responses made me uncomfortable—90% of them were this patronizing, syrupy sympathy I don’t feel I deserve, and the other 10% were from the Krippendorf Hive or some sh*t being like 'I love your father and spit his name out of your mouth.' But once I saw it in the newspaper, I realized I’d made myself look ashamed by deleting it. I’m not. I deleted it out of self-loathing, not embarrassment.”Despite everything, he said he loves his father. However, it has been two years since he heard from Richard Dreyfuss and he hoped that there wouldn’t be any more conversation except the last email.
