While the focus of New York, and perhaps the nation, is turned towards former-Governor Eliot Spitzer there is some other news on a famous (or infamous) john. Lesser know for his strong political views, Danny Bonaduce, had some news of his own today.
Now there is no question that Bonaduce is less than perfect. In fact he is a prime example of how child stars can go very wrong in their lives. A fact that he has always been one of the first to admit. But in recent years he has made strong efforts to improve his life, getting clean and sober, and avoiding the pitfalls his fame allowed him to fall into often.
But while scandal is no stranger to Bonaduce, his most recent claim to fame is not really his fault in my opinion. You may not recall the event I’m speaking of, since it occurred on the ‘reality’ cable television network. So for those of you unfamiliar here is the video.
Because of this event, Bonaduce is currently being sued. Now I don’t think there is a case here. The guy at the mike called a somewhat inebriated (apparently) Danny Bonaduce over as he was going to leave, jumped on him, and started to gyrate on him. Were I in the same situation I’d have done the same thing.
No malice was intended, no plan that I could see. The outcome could not be predicted. And the guy started the problem by legally assaulting Bonaduce. Why is there a lawsuit? Why is Superior Court Judge Michael C. Solner even bothering with this?
Unlike some politicians, Danny Bonaduce has never denied the ill-formed ideas he has had. He has suffered the consequences of these actions, personally and professionally. He is without question an example of what not to do in Hollywood.
But if there is a choice between Bonaduce and Eliot Spitzer for who deserves to be punished by law, I think there should be no question. Yet there is a good chance that Spitzer may walk away from this current scandal and crimes without serious penalty. Or so the pundits are stating the rumors have said.
Sometimes things just don’t make sense to me.
