Clint Eastwood, known for his tough-guy roles on screen, is reportedly facing personal turmoil due to his daughter Francesca’s ongoing legal and personal issues, sources tell RadarOnline.com.
Francesca, 31, who is the product of Clint’s relationship with actress Frances Fisher, was arrested on felony assault charges on October 12. The incident occurred following a heated argument with her partner, actor Alexander Wraith, which escalated into physical violence.
Beverly Hills police were called to the scene after Wraith sustained visible injuries, and Francesca was subsequently taken into custody. She was later released on a $50,000 bond.
The incident has caused significant distress for Clint, especially with his new film, Juror #2, set to release just three weeks after his daughter’s arrest. Francesca, who is also the mother of a six-year-old son named Titan, is reportedly dating Wraith, although police have not confirmed the identity of the victim.
Clint, now at an age where he hopes for peace and time with family, is said to be particularly disheartened by the negative attention surrounding his daughter at such a critical time in his career.
Sources close to the family have described Francesca as the most high-strung and unpredictable of Clint’s children. Her troubled past includes a brief marriage to the late music manager Jordan Feldstein in 2013, which was annulled just eight days later.
In addition, she pleaded no contest to a DUI charge in 2015. Despite Clint’s best efforts to maintain a peaceful family life, Francesca’s troubles continue to be a significant concern for the aging actor.
