On Father’s Day, Oliver Hudson shared an Instagram photo of himself, his sister Kate Hudson, and his biological father Bill Hudson. “Happy Abandonment Day,” Oliver captioned the photograph.
Then he shared a photograph of himself with his stepfather Kurt Russell, thanking Russell (“Pa”).
The Instagram posts appeared to have angered their biological father who, in an interview has now publicly disowned his two eldest children.
“I say to them now, ‘I set you free,’” Bill Hudson told the Daily Mail. “I had five birth children but I now consider myself a father of three. I no longer recognise 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. Oliver’s Instagram post was a malicious, vicious, premeditated attack. He is dead to me now. As is Kate. I am mourning their loss even though they are still walking this earth.”
