===Altercation with Jonny Fairplay===
On October 2, 2007, Bonaduce was involved in an altercation with ''[[Survivor (U.S. TV series)|Survivor]]'' show participant [[Jonny Fairplay]] during the [[Fox Reality Awards]]. Toward the end of the awards show, Fairplay appeared onstage and was booed by the audience. Bonaduce walked on stage and explained that the audience reaction was "because they hate you." Bonaduce was walking off the stage as Fairplay called him back. Fairplay then jumped on Bonaduce to hug him and Bonaduce stated later that he was uncomfortable with Fairplay's hands near his throat. Bonaduce, a [[black belt (martial arts)|black belt]] in [[Tang Soo Do]], adjusted his balance and grip and threw Fairplay over his head. Fairplay fell to the floor, face first, unable to halt his fall with his hands due to the microphone he was holding. Fairplay stood up after a few moments and staggered before slowly walking off stage, his back to the audience. Bonaduce then smiled and proceeded to make faces and exaggerated shrugging motions at the audience before walking off stage.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/DmlQysH63eQ Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20190907001321/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmlQysH63eQ&gl=US&hl=en Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmlQysH63eQ|title=Danny Bonaduce and Jonny Fairplay Brawl at Really Awards|date=May 26, 2009|via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

Bonaduce later said the two had never had any negative interactions before that incident, but that they had met occasionally in the past. He said he had never liked Fairplay, mostly because Fairplay, true to his form, had lied about his grandmother's death during his first run on ''Survivor''. While Bonaduce did not believe Fairplay was significantly hurt at the time, [[TMZ.com]] confirmed that Fairplay bled significantly, lost some teeth and suffered a broken toe.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tmz.com/2007/10/03/bonaduce-wanted-on-felony-battery-charges/|title=Bonaduce Bloodies 'Survivor' Star|website=TMZ|date=October 3, 2007 }}</ref> Fairplay pressed charges and a felony battery investigation was opened by the police. On October 5, 2007, the L.A. District Attorney's office concluded that there was insufficient evidence to prove Bonaduce had committed battery, because the contact had been initiated by Fairplay and Bonaduce had acted in self-defense.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_documents/1004_bonaduce_wm_opt.pdf |title=Charge Evaluation Worksheet|work=Los Angeles County District Attorney |access-date=October 5, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120904042438/http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_documents/1004_bonaduce_wm_opt.pdf |archive-date=September 4, 2012 }}</ref>
