Kathryn Eastwood breaks down on dad Clint Eastwood’s 95th birthday
“I’m just making more attempts to connect with my dad, my father, Clint, and wish him a happy birthday and tell him how much I love him and how much he means to me. Because he's turning 95 tomorrow, and no one lives forever on earth,” she said, visibly distraught. “All my points of contact for my dad are just kind of ignoring me as usual.”
Kathryn then accused her sisters, Allie, Alison, and Francesca, of “manipulating” her relationship with her father Clint.
She went on, “We used to be really close, and they don't want me to matter or shine or be relevant or significant or have a voice, and they definitely don't want me to have a relationship with my dad. They want to be central in his thinking, and they don't want us to be close like we were. They don't want me to matter.”
The actress described her current situation as a “reality show,” sharing her anguish over feeling alienated from both her father and her family.
“I'm just kind of processing the pain of that alienation and manipulation from my family members, from my sisters, my stepsisters who just don't want me to exist or matter, and really don't want me to be close with my father, my father who's turning 95,” she continued.
Kathryn added, “I just want to wish him a happy birthday, you know, and hear my dad's voice. So, I guess it's like a natural reaction to feel pain over something like that, to express, you know, like human emotion over something like that.”
She added, “So, yeah, welcome to my reality. My reality show.”

The drama follows Kathryn Eastwood’s recent social media tirades against her ex-stepmother Dina Eastwood, whom she labeled “filthy rich.” She also accused her of stealing the spotlight.
Speaking directly to Dina in a recent Instagram video, the 37-year-old said with a mix of sarcasm, “That's right, Dina, I started my own reality show, Dina, since you're the star and not me.”
Kathryn didn’t hold back by accusing her family of “patronizing her” over the years. She went on to say that the pressure and control they exerted played a major role in her struggles with anorexia and bulimia in the past.
She then brought her sister into the conversation.“My body doesn’t look like Fran's because let's face it, it's real. And I don't have a plastic surgeon that I pay graciously, and I don't get weekly Kolonix at the spa, and I can't compete with that,” she said, taking a swipe at her sister Francesca.
Kathryn then added, “Welcome to my reality show, Dina. You had yours, you wanted your 15 minutes to steal my shine. Didn't want me to rise, cause if I rose, then you wouldn't. If I shined, then you wouldn't. And if I made it big, then you wouldn't.”
