Bonaduce Free!!! D.A. Rejects Case

Posted Oct 5th 2007 11:34AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained a document from the L.A. County District Attorney's office, rejecting the case against Danny Bonaduce.

Danny boy got into it on stage at Tuesday's FOX Reality Channel's Really Awards. "Survivor" reject Jonny Fairplay jumped on him, and Danny tossed Jonny over his shoulder. Jonny fell face first and lost a couple o' teeth.

Police were investigating a felony battery, with Danny as the chief suspect. The D.A. wrote on the rejection form, "Insufficient evidence to prove beyond a doubt."

UPDATE: Now everyone is weighing in! "Survivor: Cook Islands" winner Yul Kwon tells us "Fairplay is a disgraceful excuse for a human being. Not only did he act inappropriately towards my girlfriend and disrespect me at the REALLY Awards, he's made a career out of ridiculous stunts and disgusting behavior, and it's finally caught up to him. The D.A. made the right call in rejecting the criminal battery case. Under California law, Fairplay would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Danny acted with the intent to cause violent physical injury. But there's nothing in the video that comes close to supporting the charge. We need to stop giving Fairplay the attention he's desperately seeking, and put an end to this media whore's career."

61. Johnny should be grateful Danny isn't pressing charges against him. Who jumped who? Looked like a scene out of Alien.

Johnny needs to learn how to fall. Try Judo mate. Like who falls with their face first. I'm a girl but I've had enough brothers to know you ROLL. What an unco wimp. Johnny just got pinned down for the count.

Danny Partridge was always my favorite, he was funny. Keith was so full of himself.

63. I am no Bonaduce fan, especially after catching part of an episode of his reality show, where he was drunk and screaming at his wife. However, in this case, Bonaduce acted instinctively, as any man would, if a strange man jumped him and started humping. My brothers, my husband, any man I know would want the guy off of him, fast. Danny was walking away when he was attacked. Good call, DA.

69. I laughed out loud when I heard him say that he had already filed charges he jumped on Danny first if someone jumped on me and started humping me I would do the same thing but I would be the one to file the charges!

70. Just because Fairplay is a lying reality show douche doesn't warrant him getting slammed down onto a stage and his teeth busted out. He was obviously embarrassed that Danny (another lying reality show douche) told him everybody hates him in front of a bunch of people and he didn't know how to react. Everyone, including Danny, knows he wasn't trying to hurt him. I find it interesting that most of the people on here are justifying physical violence against him just because he's obnoxious. Danny was much more obnoxious, not to mention repugnant strutting around the stage like a moron. And at least Fairplay's 15 minutes were up more recently than '74 when the Partridge Family went off the air.
