Bonaduce Won't Be Charged in Fight

(Oct. 3) - Danny Bonaduce won't face charges for tossing former "Survivor" contestant Jonny Fairplay over his shoulders at an awards show.

A charge evaluation document released by the district attorney's office Friday said there was "insufficient evidence" to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Bonaduce committed battery because Fairplay "initiated contact and acted offensively."

Fairplay, 33, said he underwent 2 1/2 hours of dental surgery after Bonaduce tossed him over his shoulders at the Fox Reality Channel's Really Awards last Tuesday. Fairplay landed on his face.

The evaluation worksheet said Fairplay jumped on Bonaduce, "wrapped his arms and legs around the suspect and thrust his pelvis into the suspect's body."

Deputy District Attorney Jeffrey Boxer wrote that Bonaduce didn't intentionally injure Fairplay and his "actions fell within the realm of self-defense."

Fairplay's police report claimed the actor walked on stage uninvited and made a "derogatory statement." Fairplay later said he was giving Bonaduce a hug, one of his signature moves as a performer.

A video of the incident captured the sound of the audience booing.

Fairplay, whose real name is Jon Dalton, appeared in the 2003 CBS reality show "Survivor: Pearl Islands."

You can put this one 2 rest! Fairplay didn't play fair! He could have caused harm to another while taking a flying leap at someone! The reaction from D.B.was to get him off...it was disgusting and unwanted. This is not to condone violence but it caused a quick response to rid this weirdness. J.F. did it and needs to step up to pay the consequences for such a stupid thing to do to ANYONE!

Why don't they just do everybody a favor and beat each other senseless and be done with it? They are both has been also rans and d listers on reality shows no less!

Danny Bonaduce DID NOT think he was being attacked and Fairplay was NOT hugging him. It is amazing how they bend the stories to suite them even when it's on video. Both are losers and I don't think people hate Fairplay anymore than they hate that drunk ******* Bonaduce

Bonaduce showed incredible restraint. If some guy jumps on me and starts humping you can bet the result won't be pretty and I WILL go to jail. Any man in his right mind would've done exactly what Danny Bonaduce did.

Who cares about Hollywood nobodies and has beens scraping bottom
of the entertainment cesspool?

pozzy5 07:09:35 AM Oct 09 2007

Johnny Fairplay lucky that is all that happened to him. What an a** . I would have turned around after tossing him and knocked out a few more teeth. I think Danny showed alot of restraint. as for the horsing around that was not horsing around that was one guy trying to get some laughs on the expense of someone else. well now look who is being laughed at now LOL. What an idiot! I think it all ended the way it should. with Johnny fairplay 0 and danny B 1. way to go Danny!
