Wow. This is every child's dream, for their estranged father to publicly declare that they're dead to him - to the point that he wants them to stop using his surname...

Kate Hudson has never been backwards in coming forwards regarding her birth father, and if this instagram post from Father's Day is anything to go by, her brother Oliver shares the same views... he captioned this "Happy abandonment day... @katehudson"
 


Well, Bill Hudson has responded, and it's not pretty.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, he said: "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. 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."

Hang about, it gets worse. Commenting on the touching photo that Kate chose to post on Father's Day of her with Kurt Russell, Bill added: "It was an intimate shot and, as her father, I found it inappropriate and unsettling. I’ll leave it at that."

You've said enough, Bill.
