He said if you go to college, you still get an allowance. And I was like, \u2018Well, I\u2019m going to be an actress,\u2019 so he was like, \u2018Alright, well, you\u2019re on your own.\u2019 I was cut off.”<\/p>\n However, in times of struggle, she turned to her mom, Melanie Griffith, for help.<\/p>\n “She was the nice one,” Dakota said.<\/p>\n 2.In 2007, Kourtney Kardashian<\/a> Barker, who’s the daughter of Robert Kardashian<\/a> Sr. and Kris Jenner<\/a>, told Inside Edition<\/a>, “I was cut off when I graduated college.”<\/p>\n “My dad was like, ‘You need to get a job. You have a month, I\u2019ll help you find one. But then you have to make money and support yourself,'” she said.<\/p>\n 3.In the same interview, her sister, Kim Kardashian<\/a>, told Inside Edition<\/a>, “I just think that it\u2019s actually probably harder we did grow up with this privileged life, but knowing that at a certain age we\u2019re gonna be cut off and we can\u2019t ask our parents for anything.”<\/p>\n She continued, “Already having that lifestyle growing up, we wanna maintain that. So it\u2019s probably even harder for us, because a lot of people are doing nothing. And we were taught at a very young age that we\u2019re gonna have to work, and we\u2019re gonna have to fend for ourselves \u2014 and whatever lifestyle we want, we have to make that on our own. We\u2019ve all worked since we were about 16 years old.”<\/p>\n Related: Keke Palmer’s “Sickening” Dress Has The Internet In Shambles<\/a><\/p>\n 4.In 2021, Prince Harry<\/a> told Oprah Winfrey<\/a> that, after he and his wife Meghan Markle<\/a> stepped down as working royals in January 2020, “My family literally cut me off financially, and I had to afford security for us.

I never had any supplementation, he never helped me with my rent, I never had a trust fund. So the idea that I am spoiled or that I didn\u2019t work for what I have, that\u2019s just not accurate. But I can see how somebody might have that perception.”<\/p>\n She also told\u00a0Glamour<\/a>, “People think, ‘She’s just a rich kid.’ Until I was 18, I was. Then I was broke.

She said, “I will always be there for her.”<\/p>\n 9.Presenter\/influencer Tilly Ramsay and podcaster\/influencer HollyAnna Ramsay are the daughters of Gordon Ramsay, who plans to not leave any inheritance to his five children so they won’t be “spoiled.”<\/p>\n Fox \/ Via youtube.com<\/a>, People \/ Via youtube.com<\/a><\/p>\n In 2017, he told the Telegraph<\/a>, “It\u2019s definitely not going to them, and that\u2019s not in a mean way; it\u2019s to not spoil them.

At the time, she reportedly<\/a> said it was “for reasons which are well known to them.”<\/p>\n In 2008, Christina denied rumors that her mother made the decision as revenge on her for writing her tell-all memoir, Mommie Dearest. She told the Guardian<\/a>, “The attorney told me that the language in that will went way back to the ’60s, and every time the will was rewritten that language was carried forward absolutely intact. So none of the later years had had any impact on her emotionally whatsoever. All the efforts I\u2019d made had been for nothing, and I decided that was enough, and I was going to tell the truth as I knew it.”<\/p>\n 11.And finally, Sachi Parker, the daughter of Shirley MacLaine, said that, when she finished secondary school at 17, her parents unexpectedly cut her off.
