John Clark Gable, the son of Hollywood legend Clark Gable, is refusing to pay for his own son's funeral
The son of Hollywood legend Clark Gable has refused to pay for his own son's funeral or let him be buried in the Gable family plot, according to shocking text messages posted online.
Clark Gable III, the movie star's 30-year-old grandson, was found dead in his bed by his fiancee last Friday.
His sister, Kayley Gable, 32, said she called her estranged father, John Clark Gable, 57, to tell him about the tragic news.
But she claimed he 'hung up' on her and sent a vitriolic text message, which she posted on Facebook.
'I'm sorry for your loss. This is what I want. Cremate him he's not going in my family's plot and I'm not paying for anything,' John wrote in a text.
The family's plot is located at Forrest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles, where Clark Gable is buried.
'All of you use my Fathers name in disgrace and you don't want me to go to the media believe me. Leave me and my Father out of this drug mess. There are no services on my end. Kayley is to never call me. Sorry for your loss I'm done it's just that simple. Respect my wishes.'
In her Facebook post, Kayley shot back at her father claiming that he 'tortured us', 'got us high' and 'did drugs in front of us as kids'.
