Kiefer Sutherland and Jason Patric publicly rekindled their friendship in 2011 for Broadway’s That Championship Season. This was some 20 years after Jason ran off with Julia Roberts right as she was due to marry Kiefer. That was one bullet dodged, don’t you think? The marriage would never have lasted. Kiefer eventually forgave Jason, and the rest is history.
Jason and Julia didn’t last either. He went on to date Jennifer Jason Leigh and Christie Turlington. Then Jason hooked up with his baby mama, Danielle Schreiber. We’ve talked a lot about Jason’s ongoing battle to gain parental rights even though the law considers him a sperm donor. Jason won an appeal, and the case will go to trial soon. Danielle has since made allegations of abuse and anti-Semitic remarks against Jason. I don’t know who to believe at this point. The situation is a complete mess. Jason isn’t doing himself any favors if this story from Star is true. He reportedly got sloppy drunk and lost his sh-t with some fans:
Talk about a Lost Boy! Jason Patric horrified pals Kiefer Sutherland and Dennis Quaid during a recent dinner at Santa Monica eatery Chez Jay. An eyewitness reports that a boozing Jason was worked up about his custody battle with ex Danielle Schreiber. “The more he drank, the angrier he got; he was ready to blow.” So when two tourists politely approached the table, “Jason lost it,” says the spy. “He screamed at them to screw off and go back to their trailer park! It was so scary!” Shocked, Kiefer and Dennis decided to bail. “They paid the check and split,” recalls the witness. “It was an awful evening.” Jason’s rep was not available for comment.
[From Star, print edition, September 1, 2014]
Ouch. You know you’re a massive, drunken douche when Kiefer Sutherland and Dennis Quaid are horrified at your actions. Dennis’ most recent ex-wife supposedly left him because he’s an angry drunk. Kiefer has tons of alcohol related issues too (again, RIP, Chrismas tree). Jason sounds like a bigger drunken boar than both Dennis and Kiefer combined.
Since Star mentioned The Lost Boys, I felt obligated to include a film still.

Awful man.All his exes have claimed he is abusive.
On a side note, that Christmas Tree video never gets old.God,I love Kiefer Sutherland.His dad as well.
I love Kiefer as well. My kids and I have been marathoning 24 all summer long. I can’t explain what I find attractive about Kiefer because he isn’t traditionally handsome, but damn that man is hot!
He’s got swagger.
Swagger and then some.
Didn’t Freddy Prince Jr. talk about how horrible Keifer is to work with and some other actress that worked on that t.v. show he did say the same thing.
Already 3 co-stars from “24” have expressed amazement at Freddie’s accusations, (who can forget him thanking Kiefer for the 24 experience at Comic Con 2009). Not only Louis Lombardi but Sara Gilbert and Aisha Tyler appeared on “The Talk” saying that Kiefer was just great to work with. Sara said that Freddie’s claim about everyone feeling the same way against Kiefer is just not true. Here’s the Youtube video – see for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBImQQKKicU
I might have believed Freddie because he doesn’t seem to be an attention whore given his relatively low profile over the past couple of decades, but the one complaint about his miserable 24/Kiefer experience that he went into detail about turned out to be pretty lame. Having to take his shoes off to do a scene because of Kiefer’s height? With all of the diva/divo/assholic qualities other actors have exhibited, it seems weird that shoe-less acting would be something to make him want to quit the business. No claims that Kiefer was mean or consistently late or drunk or didn’t know his lines. Just that he was insecure about his shortness (or the show was insecure about his shortness).
He does come across as someone right on the razor’s edge of rage, both onscreen and in interviews.
His dad is no picnic, either. My boyfriend has worked on films with DS, & said he’s a gigantic arrogant asshole. The acorn, & all that.
Oh my god really Azurea ? I read a story about Donald here on Celebitchy that made me love him…uh
“I was once on a small plane (like ten passenger puddle jumper) going from Portland to Seatle, and I was totally FREAKED (had some not-so-good experiences while flying) and Donald effing Sutherland was on the plane in the aisle across from me (I didn’t realize at the time) and I was, embarrassing as it is to say, practically hyperventillating and had my eyes squeezed shut because we hit some wicked turbulence and he unbuckled, and came and sat next to me and, I kid you not, held my sweaty hand. He didn’t say a word, he just held my hand.
He was so amazing and quiet about it and not at all creepy (I was in my late teens, so that would have been beyond disturbing. *Sigh*”
What did that poor Christmas Tree do to deserve that?
Sheesh, no wonder Danielle wants him far away from her child.
Correction-THEIR child.
“As part of a fertility treatment, Patric donated sperm in 2009 to a former girlfriend, massage therapist Danielle Schreiber, that resulted in her pregnancy, according to ABC News. He then decided he wanted to help raise the child, Gus, now 3” (celebitchy)
Apparently he decided not to be a father for 3 years.
Absolutely. Give that poor oppressed man custody! This is where we all agree that she’s an evil gold-digger, right?
Well, that’s not the whole story, he didn’t go 3 years before deciding he wanted to be a father. He was just a sperm donor at first, but at some point (I think when the kid was a year old or so?), he got back together with his ex-girlfriend and became a part of his son’s life, which the girlfriend encouraged. So he understandably grew to love his son. But when he and the girlfriend broke up again, she cut off access to the kid.
That was obviously within her legal right since he originally agreed to just be a donor, but morally? Not sure if that was the right thing to do. How do you explain to your kid that he did have a dad who wanted to be in his life–in fact FOUGHT to be in his life–and you were the one who prevented it? This is all assuming that he isn’t abusive or an otherwise bad influence, which he may be. I’m certainly not trying to paint her as the evil one or him as the victim. I feel like there’s got to be a reason that she would go to these lengths to keep him from his son and I’m hoping it’s not just bitterness or some sense of ownership.
Danielle better take this man for all he’s got. No more being nice, no more diplomacy. She had better take it there if this story is true.
If I were her, and all these tales were true about how abusive and anti-semetic he was… My inner raging b*&^% take-no-prisoners mama bear, deadly vicious c-u-next-tuesday would come out.
Aside from the heated discussion/aspect of the custody battle, he has always come across, to me, as largely unlikeable with a smug air of entitlement and conceit. So on an intuitive level, not knowing much about him, this doesn’t surprise me at all.
A drunken celebrity. No real story here.
I wanted so bad when Lost Boys came out..lol!
Me too. I was a total weirdo obsessed fangirl when that movie came out. I was 15 though so I’m giving myself a pass. So much 80’s hotness in that movie. I’m talking about the older boys, not the Coreys, btw.
WORD!
That picture…with Cory Haim…just slayed me!
Corey looked just like Justin Bieber when he was younger.
Would Jason be considered a child star all grown up? Boy, they never get out unscathed, huh?
It is a pity that Jason has so many issues because I find him to be quite handsome. He and Henry Cavill share very similar facial features….especially in in his younger photos.
The mother of his child is now making allegations about him-but they were apparently together for years before he donated sperm. Would you want the sperm of an abusive and racist man for your child? It’s not like there aren’t other options for a donor so if he was such a monster why would you want his sperm? I am not saying he’s great or anything but it all seems shady.
My thoughts exactly! She could have gone anywhere and found a sperm donor. Not the man she now (emphasis on now) accuses if being anti-Semitic and abusive.
Of course, she’s full of it. And I’m sure you’ve seen the pics of them together at the beach with their child. I hope he gets rights to his son.
I didn’t know Jason P. and Kiefer S. rekindled their friendship – that’s nice. I wonder if Sutherland was ultimately grateful for not marrying Julia Roberts, she seems like a huge pain, frankly.
I find it hard to believe that someone in a drunken rage could horrify Keifer with his history!
Bwahhahahahaha EXACTLY
Sorry but this doesn’t seem entirely credible.
The 3 guys having a booze filled binge at a bar? Yes yes and yes.
But I doubt they’d bail on him. They’d get him outta there.
I know right??? I didn’t realize that was possible with Kiefer! Just WOW! It must’ve been beyond awful.
Coming from Kiefer, that’s really saying something. Oy.
I forgot how drama-filled Julia Robert’s love life used to be!
I didn’t know about the drinking but Jason Patric’s douchiness is well known in Hollywood.
The Lost Boys was such a great movie. Happy 80s memories. Was the dog called nanook?
It’s funny, Christy Turlington never complained of this behavior and was with Jason six years!.
Keifer “my blood is in your veins!”
Jason: “so is mine!”
Loved the lost boys!
And Keifer was and is so hot! I might have to finally get around yo watching 24 I think.
One of my favorite ’80s flicks!! Or was it early ’90s? I can’t remember.
On August 4th I donated blood at a blood drive in parking lot in Burbank CA. Hot day, the Red Cross was using the blood doner bus with a card table for sign-in and two plastic lawn chairs for waiting, outside the bus. I signed in, read the materials, sat in a lawn chair to wait my turn. Who signed in and sat next to me? – Keifer Sutherland. I s*#t you not. My two thoughts were: 1) is he really a blood donor candidate?, and 2) how cool, Jack Bauer!
That’s a great story! I would have been woozy and it wouldn’t have been from the blood draw.
How come, in the era of everyone having a cell phone with a camera and video, stuff like this happens but is never filmed or photographed? Kind of weird.
Anyway, sounds like he’s a mess and needs to calm down and/or get some help.
Dunno. Hard to believe that such a supposedly a nice guy doesn’t work much in Hollywood, you know? His girlfriend may be or may have been sketchy or maybe she’s entirely justified, who knows, but I don’t think he’s blameless in his personal life and career either. Something about him screams “angry” and “not a kind man”. His eyes are hard and shallow somehow.
I agree. I know plenty of people want to think the baby mama is a douce, and maybe she is, but I also think there’s a giant stigma against people who stay in abusive relationships. Maybe she felt like she was trapped and this was her only shot, or she actually loved him, but doesn’t want her kid around him? I don’t know. All I know is that I agree with you about him looking cold and scary. He looks very capable of abuse.
would you allow an abusive man’s to be your sperm donor? doesn’t make sense, that she would use him for a sperm donor if he was so terrible. bc if he was an alcoholic or abusive, wouldn’t you worry that that would be transmitted genetically? i know i would.
i think he didn’t want to be a dad, he agreed to be her sperm donor, she wanted it b/c she thought a baby with his dna would make him want to stay with her. i think he did become attached to the child, they dated after that. she even had him around the son. but when he left her, now all of a sudden, he’s an abusive a-hole and now she wants to deny him access when before she had no problem with it and even had him as a father figure in his kid’s ? sounds like a nasty vindictive ex trying to get back at the man now that he doesn’t want to be with him, and she knows he has feelings for the kid he helped create and who acted as a father figure. but now that’s it not convenient for her, now he’s relegated back to sperm donor status? I don’t think so, no tfair, like she made him a father figure to her kid and now she wants to rip jason out of her kid’s life?! like i said, vindictive ex!
and i could see that tearing him up inside, and diving into drinking and being as a-hole. wouldn’t be the first person to drown their sorrows in booze. doesn’t support the abusive narrative, imo
