In 1997 she received some negative attention after giving a less-than-coherent interview on The Late Show with David Letterman. It was speculated that her rambling, incoherent manner was because of drug abuse. She claims that she was just nervous and unprepared for the appearance.

Fawcett has appeared at least twice nude in the men's magazine Playboy. The most recent appearance was when she was 50, but still in surprisingly good shape.

From 1980 to 1997, Fawcett was involved in an often abusive relationship with actor Ryan O'Neal. The relationship produced one child, Redmond, in 1985. In 1998 she was severely injured by then boyfriend James Orr after refusing to marry him.
