HOLLYWOOD BOMBSHELL: At 86, Lee Majors Finally Tells the Devastating Truth About Farrah Fawcett That Fans Never Knew

Lee Majors and Farrah Fawcett met in the early 1970s, through industry circles, and they married in 1973.

At first their union seemed glamorous, ideal: he was a rising television star, she a striking beauty on the ascent.

Over time, however, pressures mounted. Their careers pulled them in different directions; long separations, conflicting ambitions, and the glare of public attention all took their toll.

By 1979 they were separated; the final divorce came in 1982.

For decades, Lee Majors maintained a relatively reserved posture about the reasons behind their split. He occasionally expressed that he still loved her, that he wished they could have “worked out problems.”

He also admitted that the fame they shared made intimacy difficult — schedules, fame, tabloid scrutiny, all eroded the private side of their marriage.

One of the more persistent rumors has long involved Ryan O’Neal, who later became Farrah’s partner. Some accounts suggest that Majors once asked O’Neal, a friend, to check on Farrah while he was away — and that during one of those interludes, O’Neal and Farrah’s connection deepened in a way that Majors considered betrayal.

One story from Vanity Fair recounts that Majors, before a trip, invited O’Neal to take Farrah to dinner, believing she might be lonely. The tale says the dinner turned into a “date,” and that intimacy developed.

Later, O’Neal acknowledged that their first date after that was so intense their lips were bruised — a metaphor for their precipitous dive into romance.

Yet Majors rarely, if ever, publicly framed this as an act of betrayal. Instead, he hinted at a deeper emotional blow: that the bond once shared had fractured not because of a single act, but through erosion — unmet expectations, unspoken hurts, resentments that accumulated.

In certain interviews, he suggested that Farrah’s star rapidly eclipsed his own, creating tensions. Some sources noted comments attributed to him like, “When I come home from work, I’d like my wife to be waiting,” implying he expected traditional roles even as she was ascending in her career.

If Lee Majors has now, at 86, “finally told the devastating truth,” what might that truth be? Possibly, that his long-held silence was not innocence but exhaustion; that the pain of watching her drift, the guilt and regret over actions he couldn’t undo, haunted him. He might reveal that he blamed himself more than he blamed her, that in his own way he protected his pride by not speaking.

He might confirm that yes — the involvement of Ryan O’Neal cut him more deeply than he ever admitted publicly. He might finally own not just heartbreak, but bitterness, confusion, and a longing that never went away.

If he were to say those things — that he felt blindsided, overshadowed, betrayed, and yet still in love — it would be devastating, but also human.

Still, we must caution: absent a verifiable transcript, interview, or published memoir released recently, any “shocking confession” remains speculative. The public record shows a man who loved deeply, suffered in silence, and lived on with memories he rarely disclosed fully.

If you want, I can dig further — see whether there is a newly published memoir or recent interview from May-June 2025 that truly reveals a “devastating truth” — then provide an updated retelling. Do you want me to check that for you?
