When it comes to the world of the rich and famous, people often reference the children as being some of the luckiest kids in the world. They are seen as being treated like royalty when it comes to their couture ensembles and the lavish vacations they take around the world. While other people have worked hard to gain their status as a celebrity in Hollywood, the children of these celebs have just been born into it. Some people see this as a bit tragic since these kids didn't exactly sign up to be hounded by the paparazzi or critiqued on every little thing they do. Yet, others think that there is definitely a price that needs to be paid in order to live in the limelight and be privy to the luxuries that fame and fortune contain.

There are a number of celebrity kids that have lived a glorious and privileged life and then they've gone on to become quite successful in their own right. This is something that the public truly loves to see since cases like the Academy Award-winning actress, Gwyneth Paltrow, and the latest new heartthrob, Scott Eastwood, make it seem like celebrity kids can grow up to be the next new generation of celebs. Yet, that's not always the case. In fact, it seems like there are far more instances of celebrity kids taking a turn for the worse after growing up in the lap of luxury. Not every celebrity thinks of their children as the best thing since sliced bread and some of them would much rather focus on themselves than deal with being a parent. Check out our list of the 15 celeb parents who are too busy with their own lives to care for this kid.

50 Cent Didn't Go To His Son's Grad 

50 Cent is a celebrity that seems to constantly be in a feud, which has played out in the tabloids. Yet, nothing has been more complex than the drama he's had with his son, Marquise Jackson. When he ended his relationship with Shaniqua Tompkins in the Spring of 2008, it was obvious that the public hadn't heard the last of their disagreements. Yet, no one could have predicted the anger that would have stemmed from 50 Cent toward his son. Everything played out on social media, with a hugely publicized fight in 2013 over an apparent misunderstanding about a visiting that was scheduled.

In text messages that were leaked online, 50 Cent stated, "I don't have a son anymore," and then the feud continued online.

Marquise wound up graduating from high school and his father was not in attendance but that wasn't surprising with all the drama surrounding their relationship.

Tom Cruise Hasn't Seen His Daughter In Over 800 Days

When Tom Cruise married Katie Holmes in 2006, people didn't quite know what to think. His appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show made the public think that either his love for Holmes was a publicity stunt or he really had started to have difficulties with his mental stability. Yet, it seemed like they had proven everyone wrong when the two started to settle into married life and had a child together. Suri was doted on like she was a princess from a royal lineage and was constantly hounded by the paparazzi. Yet, her life seemed to change drastically when Katie Holmes filed for divorce. The filing seemed to come as a huge shock to Cruise and it definitely wasn't an amicable split. Instead of dealing with the split in the best way to make things best for Suri, Cruise went completely missing and there were reports that he hasn't seen her since 2013. Going over 800 days without seeing his daughter seems like he really does want to pretend that she doesn't exist.

Bill Hudson Doesn't Want His Kids To Use His Name

When the relationship between Bill Hudson and Goldie Hawn came to an end, no one really knows the truth about what happened regarding his relationship with their children. Kate and her brother, Oliver, have been quite public about their hurt feelings about their father and Oliver famously posted a photo on Father's Day and captioned it, "Happy Abandonment Day." Afterward, Bill Hudson gave an interview with The Daily Mail and stated,

"I say to them now, 'I set you free.' I had five birth children but I now consider myself a father of three. I no longer recognize 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."

While Oliver has since started to cultivate a relationship with his father again, Kate has yet to makes amends.

Rosie O’Donnell Struggles With Her Daughter

Rosie O'Donnell was once seen as a beloved actress and comedian that had a series of successes throughout her prestigious career. Yet, her public perception certainly changed since her talk show was at its highest viewership levels. She made a variety of hugely controversial statements to the press and there was that horribly confrontational interview over gun rights with Tom Selleck. While her publicized feuds with politicians seemed to be damaging enough, it was her tumultuous relationship with her adopted daughter, Chelsea, that really had people scratching their heads. Chelsea claimed that Rosie was abusive and then went on to list a number of traumatic incidents while living with her. Rosie gave an interview with The Daily Mail to address her accusations and claimed,

"She is not capable of truth or reason."

She went on to say, "Chelsea left my home in August 2015 at 17 and has not spent a night under my roof since she has been to rehab two times since going both times she left early."

Alec Baldwin Was Beyond Rude To His Child 

When Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger were going through a bitter custody battle, their daughter, Ireland, was just 11 years old. It was during this tumultuous time when Baldwin was expected to make a phone call to speak with Ireland, but that phone call went unanswered. The voicemail he left her was leaked to the press and the world went crazy when they heard the things he said to her. In the voicemail, he called her "a rude, thoughtless little pig," and went on to say, "You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned." In 2017, Baldwin addressed this monumental moment in their relationship with Good Morning America and said that it caused "a permanent break" in their relationship.

Caitlyn Jenner Isn't Concerned With Her Sons

Back when Caitlyn Jenner had children with various women as the man Bruce Jenner, many people had completely different perceptions of him. Some people saw him on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and commended him for how he interacted with his children and stepchildren. Yet, that's not how some of his other children saw it. During an episode of the reality series, Brody tried to confront Bruce about having to live without a father figure when he was a child and was promptly brushed off by Bruce saying, "Now's not the time to talk about it." During a confessional piece, Brody spoke into the camera and said,

"I think Bruce is an incredible human being and I think that Bruce is a great father; he just wasn't a great father to me."

Bruce eventually started to transition into a woman and sat down with Diane Sawyer but he still didn't seem to be at all concerned with his children from his former marriage. When asked about his transition, Caitlyn stated, "Those [Kendall and Kylie] are the only ones I'm concerned with."

Todd Chrisley Has More Than Three Kids

When Todd Chrisley first became known to the public and introduced his family to the world, people couldn't get enough of this sassy Southern man and his indulgent children. Yet, there was very little mention or showing of his older son, Kyle. Then, Todd and his wife gained custody of Kyle's daughter from an interracial relationship and showcased her on the show. Kyle wound up giving a scathing interview to The Daily Mail in 2014 and described his father as "bankrupt, toxic, and a snake."

Todd responded by saying that these claims were untrue and then unleashed a wide variety of insults to his son saying, "Kyle is bipolar and normally, people that are bipolar, they seek out a way to self-medicate, which is what Kyle has done since he's been young." With them having such a tumultuous relationship, it’s no surprise that Todd has tried to diminish the fact that he has more than just the three children that were featured in the show.

David Spade Took Some Time To Step Up 

David Spade may not be the tallest or most handsome man in Hollywood but that hasn't stopped him from garnering the reputation of being a bit of a womanizer. He's constantly being photographed with different blondes coming in and out of various Hollywood hotspots and has talked about his ever-evolving romantic relationships in various interviews. Yet, it all seemed to catch up with him when the Playboy Playmate, Jillian Grace, gave birth to his child in 2008.

He didn't seem at all thrilled at the news and there was quite a bit of time when he completely ignored the fact that he had become a father. He famously appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and didn't even call his daughter by her name and seemed quite uncomfortable talking about this exciting event. While he's since shared a few photos of their daughter, Harper, the meetings have been few and far between with people not noticing any difference in his womanizing public behavior.

Ryan O’Neal Doesn't Really Like His Kids

When most people think about Ryan O'Neal, undoubtedly they'll reference his incredibly successful career in the entertainment industry and his love affair with Farrah Fawcett. Yet, his time in the limelight was filled with a myriad of difficulties and there were many that speculated that his love affair with substances was his real backstory. Due to his battle, he had a hard time maintaining the relationships in his life. This included his own children and it was chronicled in a 2009 interview with Vanity Fair. He spoke out about the tell-all book his daughter, Tatum, wrote and stated, "She wrote a book! How dare she throw our laundry in the street for money!" He also claimed that he didn't talk to any of his kids except for Redmond and when asked about his son, Patrick, he stated,

"he does fine, he has his own show on Fox Sports, but I don't like him either. He's not likeable."

Over the years, O'Neal has started to mend some of the relationships with his children but mostly ignores the fact that he is a father of four.

Sherri Shepherd Didn't Want To Care For The Baby

Sherri Shepherd is a hugely celebrated comedian, actress, and television personality. Yet, she seems to have a bit of trouble in her personal life. When she married Lamar Sally, people didn't quite know what to think since he wasn't exactly someone that was known in the world of Hollywood. The two seemed happy enough but there were some complications when they wanted to start having children. After a number of failed attempts, the two underwent the process of finding a surrogate to use Sally's sperm and a donor egg.

Yet, things went awry when the couple started having marital problems and wound up having a divorce. Shepherd then claimed that she didn't want anything to do with the baby since it wasn't biologically hers but a court ruled that because she was included in the surrogacy process, she had to sign the birth certificate. Once the baby was born, Sally took complete custody of the child and is receiving child support payments from Shepherd. She doesn't have any contact with the child and won a "huge victory" in court in January 2017 when a judge ruled in her favor not to increase the child support payments.

Candy Spelling Doesn't Help Her Daughter Financially

As the daughter of the famed Hollywood executive, Aaron Spelling, people would assume that she would have enough funds to last her a lifetime of extravagance. Yet, that definitely wasn't the case when she was only left with $800,000 from his will. The rest of the estate and funds were left to Tori's mother, Candy, and her relationship with Tori has been strained for quite some time. Candy has done a number of interviews detailing the reasons why Tori wasn't left more money in her husband's will and cited that her daughter had a major problem with overspending.

She recounted the fact that Tori was able to drop $60,000 in a single store when Aaron was still alive and she didn't feel like her daughter was responsible with her money.

Over the years, it seems like Tori has dug herself in deep with financial debt and has previously defaulted on loans and had difficulties in paying the tuition for her kids' school, but Candy has consistently ignored her daughter's financial difficulties.

Jackie Chan Won't Leave Any Money To His Son

Jackie Chan is considered one of the biggest and most successful action stars of all time and is a great inspiration for crossover actors looking to obtain mainstream success in Hollywood. While many people remember him best from the Rush Hour films, he has consistently released new and successful films throughout his career. Yet, that doesn't mean that he's willing to just pass along his hard-earned fortune to his son, Jaycee. Instead, Channel NewsAsia interviewed him on the fact that he stated that he will be leaving the bulk of his fortune to charity when he dies. When asked about his son, Chan stated,

"If he is capable, he can make his own money. If he is not, then he will just be wasting my money."

Jaycee has tried his hand at creating a name for himself in the music industry but his father never seems to mention this or help promote his son's music in any way.

Laurence Fishburne Is Disappointed In His Daughter

Laurence Fishburne is considered one of the greatest actors of our time and has starred in some of the biggest films in Hollywood. From his role in Boyz n the Hood to his iconic Morpheus role in The Matrix film series, he is an actor that is instantly recognizable. However, the scandal regarding his daughter delving into adult porn films has definitely put a blemish on his reputation. When his barely-legal daughter, Montana, starred in an inappropriate film in 2010, she released a statement saying that she was inspired by Kim Kardashian's tape. When asked about her father's opinion, she stated,

"I did talk to my father. He told me he was embarrassed by me."

He wound up hiring a private investigator and there was an incident where she was seen drinking bleach to hurt herself but it was later discovered that she faked it in an effort to get back at her father.

Jay-Z Won't Take A Paternity Test 

In 2010, there were reports that came out about Jay-Z having a secret love child with a woman named Wanda Satterthwaite. Yet, it seemed like they were just rumors and nothing really seemed to come of it. Instead, the public focused on his seemingly glowing relationship with Beyoncé and their growing family. However, it was a story that wasn't going away since Wanda and her son, Rymir, were pushing for Jay-Z to be forced to take a paternity test in order to prove that he was indeed the father. With this decade-long case making its way through the court system, it garnered the attention of the Family Civil Liberties Union (FCLU). Spokesperson, Dr. Sharon McClain, spoke out after Beyoncé gave birth to their twins and said, "However, there is still a person suffering emotionally by their actions of non-cooperation which affects other families at large.

Just imagine, a young boy like Jay-Z growing without his father, and the effects it can have on the community and one's self-image."

It was recently released that the case will finally be ready for trial in December 2018 and people will finally find out whether or not this now-23-year-old is the actual son of Jay-Z.

Jude Law Is Selective With His Kids

Jude Law is no stranger to dealing with drama in his personal life since his so much of the details surrounding his romantic relationships has made it onto tabloid headlines. During his union with Sienna Miller, a hacking scandal brought out a series of disturbing details and then there was that infamous incident with the nanny. After his split from Miller, there were a series of photographs that were released showcasing Law seemingly sowing his oats. It seemed like he had an obvious thing for younger ladies. That's definitely the case with the young aspiring model that was a former nanny, Samantha Burke. The relationship turned into Burke giving birth to their daughter. It was obviously not a relationship that he wanted to cultivate since the court documents stated that he would only have to see his daughter twice a year.
