First, read: Bonaduce under investigation for battery Danny Bonaduce threw Survivor alum Jonny Fairplay over his head during the Fox Reality Really Channel awards in Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former Survivor contestant Jonny Fairplay filed a police report Wednesday, alleging that radio talk show host Danny Bonaduce threw him and knocked out his teeth during an awards show, police said. The battery report was taken by police shortly before 2 a.m. at a Hollywood hospital where Fairplay was treated and released, Officer April Harding said. "He had one tooth broken, another tooth missing from his gum line and two other teeth that were loose," she said. The report, which listed Fairplay under his birth name of Jon Dalton, 33, said the reality show contestant was at an awards event when Bonaduce walked onto the stage without invitation and made a "derogatory statement" to Fairplay, Harding said. "Dalton said he went to hug him and then when he did that, Bonaduce ... threw him over his shoulder ... and Dalton fell to the ground," Harding said. "The investigation's in its initial phase. Currently we don't have any plans to arrest Bonaduce," she said. Fairplay, a wrestler and reality show contestant, came in third on the 2003 CBS show Survivor: Pearl Islands but was roundly condemned by viewers for concocting a lie that his grandmother was dead to win sympathy from competitors. Bonaduce, the center of the 2005 reality show Breaking Bonaduce that detailed his efforts to repair his marriage and recover from alcohol and other problems, most recently has been co-hosting Adam Carolla's radio show. The incident took place during the Fox Reality Really Channel awards, which were being held at a nightclub on Sunset Boulevard. (They air 10 p.m. Oct. 13.) A videotape that aired on TMZ.com showed some audience members booing Fairplay, who was on stage as a presenter. "Are you guys really booing?" Fairplay asked. Bonaduce then comes onto the stage. "They're booing 'cause they hate you" he said. "That's a good thing, right?" a smiling Fairplay responded. As Bonaduce walked away, Fairplay called after him. Then, still holding a microphone and with a look at the audience, he backed up and leaped onto Bonaduce, wriggling his legs. Bonaduce held him for a moment and then heaved him up over his head. The 48-year-old Bonaduce, who first became a star at age 10 on The Partridge Family, told TMZ that Fairplay "started to throttle me" and he threw him to stop the attack. "I'm sorry he got hurt," he said. However, Fairplay told TMZ he was giving Bonaduce a hug — one of his signature moves as a performer. "It's a nice thing," he said. Bonaduce "threw me over his head as hard as he could. ... I just went, like, mouth first into the stage," he said. "It knocked one tooth out and then it moved three others ... there's like floating bones. One tooth is, like, shattered eight times. There's like eight breaks," Fairplay said. Fairplay said he underwent 2½ hours of dental surgery and needs additional work. Asked if he had any last words to say to Bonaduce, he replied: "You're mean." http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2007-10-03-fairplay-bonaduce_N.htm?csp=34 Watch video: <embed src='http://www.brightcove.tv/playerswf' bgcolor='#FFFFFF' flashVars='allowFullScreen=true&initVideoId=1213872318&servicesURL=http://www.brightcove.tv&viewerSecureGatewayURL=https://www.brightcove.tv&cdnURL=http://admin.brightcove.com&autoStart=false' base='http://admin.brightcove.com' name='bcPlayer' width='486' height='412' allowFullScreen='true' allowScriptAccess='always' seamlesstabbing='false' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' swLiveConnect='true' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash'></embed> ---- To me it seems like Fairplay tried to dry hump not to hug Bonaduce. In that case, I don't blame Bonaduce.
What letter comes after Z? Because all those attendees wouldn't even make the Z-list of celebs. As for the throw, I can't say I blame Bonaduce either. Probably unnecessary, but if you're drunk and someone jumps on you humping your chest you'd probably throw them off you too.
I like Opie & Anthony more than Stern, but I don't really care for either... If I had to pick one, it would be Opie & Anthony.
thats what happens when you combine a complete a-hole (2 of them really), especially when of them is a roider, alcoholic/substance abuser and battling with depression.
WTF??? He's a wrestler? He should know how to take a fall then. And Bonaduce was walking away, if he didn't call him back so he could dry hump him, this wouldn't have happened.
This was John Dalton finally getting a piece of his own s***. He'll get doctor's fees, but nothing else. Verdict: Defendant. And BTW, I'm fine with both of their antics. Just don't be an ******* to someone bigger than you without expecting consequences. Also, Danny didn't exactly "hurl" him. He just threw him off.
Say what you want. I've been told I'd be fun on one of their shows. Unfortunately, the assault charge in '99 screws me on most of them.
OK, I will. Reality television is for losers. Although, Fatty....seeing you and Danny Bondaduce duke it out might be fun to watch in person, especially after y'all have consumed 7-8 tequila shots apiece on an empty stomach!
Alrighty then. BTW, I'm out. Going to watch one of the best insomniac shows on TV. Masterminds on Court TV. Seriously, watch it. I Tivo it every night.
I have both XM and Sirius, and O&A are way more entertaining as far as I'm concerned. I gave Howard a shot, but it's the same thing over and over. He's loaded and doesn't care anymore. I never listened to him back in the day, so all I have to go on is what he does now, and to me he just isn't funny, or entertaining. O&A, I've listened to since they came to XM and that's pretty much all I listen to is them and Ron & Fez on 202. I'm just so used to the limited commercials on that channel, and when I do turn it to something else, it's not for very long because there are just far too many commercial breaks on regular radio, or ESPN radio, Fox Sports, etc.
What Bonaduce did wrong was that he didn't kick that loser while he was down. I don't really have the slightest idea of who these 2 men are, but the nancy who got thrown over just looks like a douche and probably deserved it.
Honestly, that's about as calmly and least crazy I can imagine Bonaduce reacting to that situation. I can't say I'm disappointed in the result.
