Hi Partridge Fans, I know this subject has been covered in another thread, but I really felt it was very important for us to start a new thread here since over at IMDB.com they love to delete posts. I have a strong feeling it's someone in David Cassidy's camp who's trying to protect his already tarnished image.

Read on below...


By now most of you already know that according to the staff & fans who attended the October 11th Hollywood Autograph show...

He refused to sign any Partridge Family items or anything else that fans might have brought for him to sign! He would only sign current photos! On top of this he demanded that he be paid up front for the entire three hours that he was scheduled for but only stayed for 50 minutes disappointed his fans who showed up & waited in line for hours! It's safe to say this guy is a real selfish heartless ******* who does not care or respect his fans! There were fans there who were heartbroken & in tears. It was awful!

Hey David, you clearly need to get a grip on reality! That's probably the reason your career failed because of your nasty attitude & you really need to get a life!
You are no Johnny Depp or Tom Cruise & nor will you ever be like them!! At least someone like Johnny Depp & Tom Cruise two of the biggest & busiest Hollywood Stars in the world today know how to treat & appreciate their fans! Those two will spend two hours signing anything for FREE! And real stars like Johnny & Tom care & know it's all about the fans that make them!

David, you should have been kissing the feet of all those fans that actually dropped everything for you at the last minute to show up & wait in line who were willing to pay you with their hard earned money & you treated them like crap! SHAME ON YOU!!

Let me be the first to say that I think everyone should just boycott this ass & throw away anything they own on him!

David Cassidy joins the ranks along with Adam West, William Shatner, Loretta Switt & Kate Jackson as another washed up failed TV celebrity of the past who hates & manipulates their fans by bullying them & robbing them of their money!

Hey David lay off the drugs & seek help for your pathetic life!
If you can't be bothered with your fans who support you, then you need to retire!! Disappear from the face of the earth if it's too much for you to handle!!!

We would like anyone who actually showed up to this show tell your side of the story & let us know how David Cassidy treated you!

I wanted to add something after seeing that there are stupid people out there trying to defend his actions because he claims he was sick?

If he was really sick, then he certainly had no business even being there! He could of easily spread his sickness to other people & in this day of age we already have enough to worry about with the swine flu & other crap! So if David Cassidy was that sick, then that was really irresponsible of him to even show up & risk putting other people in harm! An innocent person could of easily caught something from him & gotten really sick or worse, even die! You don't put anyone in danger like that!
Think about all the nasty germs that he exposed on the photos he sold or the hands he shook! YUK!!
And do not insult us & say he showed up for the fans! No he showed up because he's a selfish greedy scammer who thought he could eaily take advantage of his poor fans!

Unless he was giving away those current headshots for FREE, then he should of just done the right thing & signed whatever for his fans! On that day the fans are the customer & the customer is always right!

FYI: It's an autograph show where celebrities charge for his autograph. It was advertised that he would sign anything for a price! It was not a personal & solo appearance by just him only! He was not the main attraction there! He was not promoting a new CD or book!!

He could of easily just signed whatever the fans brought for him to sign and collected his money & go about his business. No instead he chose to play stupid & treat his fans like worthless suckers! People who came to this event were Partridge Family fans who wasted their precious time bringing their PF items to be signed only to be refused and instead forced to fork over $30 to this ass for a cheap current headshot that no one wanted to begin with! If you have the nerve to charge for your autograph, then you should sign whatever the fan wants you to sign! NOT MAKE THINGS DIFFICULT FOR EVERYONE!

If other huge TV stars like Davey Jones & The Monkees, The Brady Bunch Cast, The Twilight Zone Cast, Lost In Space, Larry Hagman & the Dallas Cast, Lindsay Wagner & The Bionic Woman Cast, Joyce DeWitt & the Three's Company Cast and even huge movie stars of today like Val Kilmer, Patrick Stewart, Richard Dreyfuss, Ann-Margret, Christopher Lloyd & Michael J Fox can sign whatever for their fans, then David should be able to do the same or simply don't show up to these type of events!

Even Shirley Jones & the other PF cast members who have done this show several times have always been so friendly & gracious with their PF fans signing anything & everything!

If David Cassidy can't follow the rules like everyone else, then he should not be doing autograph shows & he really shouldn't be a celebrity at all!!
And until he does apologize & make it up to his fans by appearing at a future autograph show willing to sign whatever the fans want him to sign, we are telling everyone not to be fooled by this loser & to boycott him! Do not support him & pay to see him in concert! Do no buy his CD's or books!! Do not watch him on TV!!! There is no excuse for what he did. And we need to send a message to him & all these other celebrities who treat their fans like crap that we are not going to take it anymore!
No excuse!! SHAME ON YOU DAVID CASSIDY!! SHAME ON YOU!!!

as a longtime autograph collector i too find his actons stupid and unwarranted sham on him for treating people that way and he and we can say what we will about his late father but he had more talent in his little finger than david the ungreatful jerk has in his whole body

David Cassidy joins the ranks along with Adam West, William Shatner, Loretta Switt & Kate Jackson as another washed up failed TV celebrity of the past.

Shatner may be a jerk at times but like him or not, He's far from being washed up.

This thing is getting bigger by the minute. The National Enquirer picked up the story & now David & his manager are crapping in their pants that this could hurt him financially. Awwwww Poor Baby! Maybe he should of not acted the way he did!

By the way over at Scott's Cmongethappy.com site...

http://www.cmongethappy.com/bulletin/viewtopic.php?t=3024&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

this story has already gotten over 12,000 hits!


It's clear by the number of people who confirmed this story that David's manager is lying! She is now blaming David's fans as the real reason for David's behavior. Everyone should clearly boycott this WASHED UP LOSER!

Everyone who bought tickets to his upcoming concerts should get a refund! Don't support David Cassidy by buying his CD's books and buying anything on his official web site.
Now maybe when he can't afford to pay his mortgage maybe this jerk will learn to appreciate & respect his fans who keep him employed!

Your right Zoneboy, Shatner may not be washed up! As much as I like him, that title goes to his poor ex-wife who was found dead in their pool a few years ago!! Which many believe Shatner had something to do with!!!

Yeah, she didn't want pictures taken of her unless you paid. Someone snapped a picture of her signing an autograph, and she wanted to charge them $50 for it. When they refused, she attempted to take their camera from them.

Wow, when did that happen? :eek:

Wow, when did that happen? :eek:

I think it was back in 2003 or 2004. I'm pretty sure she hasn't been invited back to that particular convention since. I also recall hearing a story about a fan meeting her on the street and asking for an autograph, and she had the nerve to name a price. At a convention is one thing, but meeting randomly in public is another. You either sign the autograph or you don't, you don't name a price.

This is unfortunate. From what I've read about it, Cassidy wasn't feeling well during the autograph session so that may partially explain for his behavior. I know he has issues with those who try to profit on his name and image, regarding autographs he's careful with what he signs and how he signs it.

I like most of David Cassidy's music, much of the Partridge Family stuff was pretty good. Then when the show ended, he recorded three albums for RCA, all three are good. Then he made that ill-concieved album titled "Romance" in 1985 where he tried to copy Barry Manilow. But then he came back in 1990 with the good self titled CD "David Cassidy". Two years later in '92 he issued another good CD, although this one was quite a bit different musically with mellower songs. To me, he hasn't done anything worthwhile musically since. 17 years is a long, dry spell. I'm hoping he will issue a new CD with good, original songs but at this point I have doubts if it's going to happen.

Then the best thing is for him not to have shown up. That would have been better than him actually showing up and doing what he did.

I am sure fans would have been pissed if he was a no-show but in time they would understand it was circumstances beyond his control that he could not physically be there.


Also from what I read from attendees at this event that he was changing his guidelines throughtout the thing of what he would/would not sign. Someone mentioned that he wasn't signing Partridge Family items because "That was then, this is now" and was only accepting current photos.

Other events I have been to when a celebrity has certain "rules" they are explained in the event program and they have a sign at the thing where they are signing in BIG lettering saying, "Only Signing Book" or whatever it is that they are doing.

That's a shame. There's always been something about Loretta Swit that rubbed me the wrong way. After all, if not for people like that autograph seeker, she wouldn't be where she is now. ohno: :mad:

:rofl: :brent :clap Game, set, match to Charles!!!

:brent Another winner Charles!!
I almost spit my drink out when I saw that. I have yet to see Charles come up with a dud. Charles, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! props:

I am happy to say that I had a very pleasant experience with another Partridge whom I happened to bump into unexpectedly in CA in 2001 at the Universal Citywalk. Danny Bonaduce and his daughter happened to be walking by and I approached him. He was VERY nice, posed for a picture and signed an autograph for me. I still have both the pic and the autograph.

Danny Bonaduce has many faults and demons. I don't think anyone can dispute that. But you have to give the guy props for being kind and gracious to the fans. David Cassidy would do well to follow Danny's example...and his stepmother's!! I wrote to Shirley Jones in 2003 and she sent me AND my mom her autograph, personalized to each of us (on index cards that I'd sent and she DIDN'T charge me) - within a WEEK!!! That was so cool. :cool:

That's neat that you had such a positive experience with Danny Bonaduce. And I'm not surprised to hear what a positive response you got from Shirley Jones. Your right . David should learn a lesson from his TV family members about how to treat fans

That is indeed sad and appalling that David Cassidy would do that. But let's not forget the OTHER talented on the show like Shirley Jones, Susan Dey, Danny Bonaduce (is he nice in real life?), etc. At the present, I have a couple of PF vinyl albums bought from the thrift stores and have second thoughts about playing them ever again. This is very sad and shameful:mad: .

Yes, I did meet Danny once and he was very nice to me. :cool: :D

The funny part about this whole thing is that no one could capture this on video??? With small digital cameras available in today's world, I can't see why someone did not keep their camera on David Cssidy & capture most of his rude behavior on film? I know if I would have been there, I would had my camera trained on that jerk and he wouldn't have even known it. I know people were warned by the owners & sheriff deputies not to take pictures of him, but most people could have just held their cameras in front of his table without actually pointing it directly towards his area and got some footage of what people are talking about!

And who knows? Maybe someone was so pissed at what was going down that they just turned on their camera & filmed him anyway. I mean what's the worst they can do? Tell you no pictures & you just say ok & just keep it on anyway! This AMERICA, not NORTH KOREA! We have rights!!
NO ONE CAN GRAB YOUR CAMERA AND TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU! THEY CAN'T EVEN DO THIS TO THE PAPPARAZZI WHO DO THIS EVERY DAY FOR A LIVING! AND THEY DEAL WITH BIGGER CELEBRITIES WHO THEY FOLLOW ON THEIR OWN PRIVATE TIME, NOT THAT I AGREE WITH THAT, BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO! IT'S THE LAW!!

On Loretta Switt, had she even tried to grab my camera, I would have slapped her in self defense & than made a citizen's arrest on her!
Some of these celebrities are just nuts!
They are there "at a public event" where 95% of the people there are going to take your photo & want you to sign whatever you want. It's a day where celebrities must put on their happy face & comply with the paying customer. And if they have a problem with this, they NEED TO STAY THE F##k HOME!!!

One friend put it this way, "when I go to these shows, the celebrity is my w###e for the day!" "I'm paying them to do what I want!"
And this is so true! Most of these celebrities can't find regular work to make a quick buck, so they use these shows to make fast cash "tax free I might add" and the least they could do is just be nice to us if they are going to take all of our money!
I don't know what gives jerks like Loretta Switt, Adam West, William Shatner, Kate Jackson & David Cassidy the right to treat people at these shows like garbage when we are the ones putting money in their pockets? Next time we come across someone like this, let them know "we are the ones putting money in your pocket so you can eat & pay your bills & you should treat me with respect!"

And enough is enough. I know most fans are too scared, shy or intimated by these childhood stars to say anything, but I know most of you that have been treated like this probably go home & get angry or even cry over this & my heart really goes out to all these fans who where crushed & heartbroken over what David Cassidy did to them.

We need to speak out against this and the next time a celebrity pulls this, turn your camera on & film them while they start acting like this & then you put them in their place & maybe they will think twice about how they treat fans in public when they see their unacceptable behavior on youtube!

Another thing is to contact the owners of these autograph shows & let them know that if they are going to charge us admission to these type of shows & we also have to pay the celebrities attending these shows all this money, they need to be ready to sign whatever items you have for them to sign, and you are going to possibly snap a few photos of them when you are paying them to sign your items! LET THESE OWNERS OF THE HOLLYWOOD SHOW & THE CHILLER SHOW ON THE EAST COAST KNOW THIS SO THEY & WE CAN AVOID THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR EVER AGAIN FROM THE LIKES OF DAVID CASSIDY!

You wouldn't see legends like Debbie Reynolds, Leslie Nielson, or Jackie Cooper acting this way. Even Linda Evans was so gracious and I didn't buy anything from her, wish I did but didn't have enough money, LOL.

HOLLYWOODPD:

Unfortunately, David can't go back in time, so how would you like him to resolve this issue? I think he should issue a public apology on his website. Apologizes don't have to be sincere these days, but I think it would be better than nothing. If I were him, I would also offer to send autographs for free to anyone who mailed in a ticket stub (or other legit proof) to the event or maybe give away a certain amount of autographs away on his website. It wouldn't be cheap, but it would reestablish goodwill.

Gidgetgrape, we want David Cassidy to offer a public apology on his website and promise to return to the Hollywood Autograph Show in Burbank & sign whatever items fans present to him to sign! This means all Partridge Family items personalized or not personalized!!

Yes I do agree that the fans who wasted their hard earned money to show up that day & were jilted by David should be allowed free admission back into the show and given a couple of free autographs if they can prove that they were in fact there on Sun. Oct. 11, 2009.


What's making this even worse is that David Cassidy's manager is putting all the blame on the fans that were there that day & saying that they were the reason David left. Also David refuses to apologize & continues not to care that he made hundreds of fans waste their money that day & he also hurt every fan that showed up!

Let me make this clear, until David Cassidy apologizes to all the fans he disrepected & hurt on Oct. 11, 2009 & until he promises to make another appearance at a future autograph show, we are asking everyone who reads this TO BOYCOTT DAVID CASSIDY! DO NOT SUPPORT HIM!! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING ON HIS WEBSITE FROM HIM!!! IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAS TICKETS TO HIS CONCERTS, GET A REFUND!!!
PASS THE WORD AROUND NOT TO SUPPORT THIS JERK!!!

KEEP EMAILING THE PERSON WHO RUNS HIS WEB-SITE AND DEMAND THAT DAVID APOLOGIZES AND HE APPEAR AT ANOTHER AUTOGRAPH SHOW!
MAKE YOUR VOICE COUNT! CONTACT THE MEDIA!!!

CONTACT HARVEY LEVIN & HIS TMZ STAFF AT TMZ.COM
http://www.tmz.com/contact/contactus

Let them know why you are writing to them & that you want them to help us in asking David Cassidy to issue a public apology & to appear at another autograph show!



DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO HAVE DAVID CASSIDY ISSUE A PUBLIC APOLOGY & RETURN TO THE HOLLYWOOD AUTOGRAPH SHOW & MAKE GOOD ON ALL HIS LOYAL FANS THAT WERE HURT BY THIS!

BECAUSE IF HE WAS REALLY SICK & NOT FEELING WELL & IF HE REALLY CARES SO MUCH ABOUT HIS FANS & WHAT HE HAS CAUSED, THEN HE WILL MAKE IT UP TO THEM & IF HE DOES NOT?
THEN WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THIS PHONY LOSER DOES NOT MAKE ANOTHER DIME OFF HIS FANS!

THERE IS NO EXCUSE AS TO WHAT HE DID TO HIS FANS!! NO EXCUSE!!!

I would also let the folks at the Hollywood Collector's Show know of your disappointment, maybe they could also do something to make amends, here's their link...

Hi,

I registered specifically because I was at the event you are speaking about, and started the thread on the www.cmongethappy.com message board. I believe that is also the source of the unflattering article in last week's National Enquirer, although some of the specifics aren't what I saw -- and I never left the area where he and his publicist were. I agree 100% with the outrage being shared here, but I have one disagreement, and that is placing any blame on the event that organized the appearance of David Cassidy. The Hollywood Show was equally surprised, outraged, and blindsided as those of us that attended the function. Having people contact them for a refund isn't fair, considering they had no prior knowledge of his demands. The celebrities that attend are told in advance what is expected of them, so there is NO way David Cassidy and/or his handlers did not know what they had to do. In addition, there were over 100 other celebrities at the event, all of whom were extremely friendly, gracious and happy to see their fans, signing anything they wanted. To demand that the show give restitution or refunds isn't quite fair, IMHO. All demands should be placed squarely on the one person to blame: David Cassidy.

If anyone is interested, and would like to read the exact specifics of the day, you can do so by clicking here:

http://www.cmongethappy.com/bulletin/viewtopic.php?t=3024

So far, there are almost 17,000 hits on the thread -- and if Cassidy or his mouthpiece don't think that's reason enough to issue a public, heartfelt and HONEST apology (without the lies blaming the fans) then I think he deserves to have those half-filled casino concerts of his become totally empty.

Personally, as far as David Cassidy is concerned, well, lets just say my days of being a fan of his work and following his career ended that day. I will continue to keep the Partridge Family website open and will continue to provide updates as time permits because there were 6 other cast members that made that show a success -- including a not-too-shabby Academy-Award winning, most gracious actress -- and they all deserve to have their work and legacy with the show continue.

Thanks!

I'm not blaming the Hollywood show I just wanted people to know they can pass on their disappointment with them so they can not invite him anymore. Anyone who hosts such an event would want to make sure their guests are happy to keep them coming back. If they don't reach out to them they may not return for the next event and that would hurt their business or the hotels. Some guests stay at the hotel to attend the event for the weekend.

Oh, I'm sure that they won't be asking him back. I went to Tombstone, AZ in 2005 for the annual Western Film Festival. One of the ladies working there said that Hugh O'Brian (The Legend of Wyatt Earp) was the biggest, most arrogant jerk and treated the fans like crap. Needless to say, he was never asked to come back. It's horrible that stars treat their fans like that. If it wasn't for the fans, they wouldn't have their fame and opportunity to make lots of money. :mad:

I can separate the show/music from the person. I've always thought of him as an arrogant person. It's stories like this that reinforce it and I just get a kick out of it all. He's David Cassidy for the love of God! You'd think we were talking about Sinatra. :)

I've seen DC in concert a few times. The show was ok overall but the highlights were when he was quite rude at times and either yelling at the sound guys, being short/stern with people in the audience, or trying to tune his guitar. It always made for an enjoyable freakshow and enhanced the experience. My favorite part was when he told the audience how John Lennon taught him the song "No Reply" and then went about singing it incorrectly. Well, John must not have liked him much either. :) Funny thing is that the last time I saw him was in '05 maybe? Well earlier this year he was touring with Davy Jones and I was sick and couldn't make the show. A friend of mine was texting me and I asked her to shoot me a text when he got to the part in the show where he tells the John Lennon story and I approximated it over the text for her. Sure enough, he told the story pretty much the same as he did when I last saw him. ha ha

All kidding aside, if he really was ill that is all he had to say and then gracefully bow out. There is nothing wrong with the work that he's done and he should be proud of it. Look at how many actors busted their humps all their lives and are forgotten today. I agree that his last worthwile album was 'Didn't You Used to Be..." I'm a fan of his PF work, the RCA albums, and even the Man Undercover series warts and all. The stuff since '92 just seems cheap and rushed and not worth the money.

I don't pretend to know him or anything like that but it is just sad that this is another in a seemingly long line of stories where he is crapping on his fans. In all fairness there are fans and there are fanatics however most people at these shows conduct themselves appropriately. Maybe the fact that he was such a huge success in the 70s and had all that insanity at an early age has made him a little shellshocked of the public. It doesn't sound like he had too many people to lean on at that time.

Good thread...

David Cassidy is only getting print these days for being associated with his daughter Katie.
They either refer to David as an ex-teen idol or Partridge Family star.
Katie is getting better projects all the time and she is currently in Melrose Place.
David has jealousy issues.
Now he wants to blame his fans for his problems.
Its bad enough that David has to go around telling stories about Jack Cassidy.
Shirley said that jealousy had nothing to do with it.
Jack lost respect for what David was doing.
I could now see Jack's point.
David always had problems and he is very self destructive.
People are still waiting for an apology.

I fully understand how disappointing it is to encounter someone you are a fan of be treated poorly or ignored. In the 70's I was a huge fan of the Big Red Machine and during one trip to Wrigley Field to see the Reds play the Cubs, two members of the Reds (Ray Knight and Joel Youngblood; this was the twilight of the "Big Red Machine") refused to sign their autographs for me (or anyone, if I remember correctly). I was very upset and really didn't want anything to do with them afterward; it was a sore spot for me for quite some time.

But when I read these threads about bad experiences with celebs (this and the Mary is rude thing) it makes me think a bit. You're taking one or two incidents and extrapolating someone's entire character from that. I wonder how we all would feel if someone took a couple of our worst days and based their entire judgment of us on those days? Is that really fair? I mean, is is possible that the celebs in question had something pressing on their mind that day or weren't feeling well? Or maybe they were just rude, but haven't we all been rude at one time or another, and been short with someone in the process?

I totally agree that celebs owe their success to their fans and should definitely be kind and patient with them. I hate it when a star of a beloved TV series goes on a talk show and proclaims they "dont' want to talk about" the show that made them famous. It's arrogant and dismissive; if it weren't for that show none of us would even know who have of them were, and they do owe us something.

I just think we should remember that they are human beings, too, and maybe not just write them off entirely because, on occasion, they prove that. :)

David Cassidy has a history of not treating his fans well.
DC has temper tantrums on stage and calls his fans names that I won't repeat.
How many bad days does this guy have.
The only reason that this is getting credibilty now is that the ADMININSTRATOR of the CMONGETHAPPY.com board was there and witnessed the whole thing.
David has only a small group of ardent fans who have been protecting him all these years.
To add insult to all this, DC's website says the fans were to blame for all this.
The people running the autograph show said that they never saw behaviour like this before.
DC threatened the people running the show and said he would ruin them by posting messages on his website.
I read the comments of the people trying to make apologies for this guy.
One fan said something about 'DC's father not being proud of him' caused him to have these problems.
Well, Jack had other children that said Jack would have been proud of them.
David has always been wackey.
There is a clear pattern here of a guy who blames problems on other people.

The man clearly has issues. I have been witness to his erratic behavior too many times to chalk this day up to him not feeling well, or any other excuse. You should have seen and heard the fallout in that room the day he had his meltdown. His behavior was the talk of the event for the rest of the weekend. Other celebrities were joking about it. He was the laughing stock in the room, to everyone except the fans that were crushed by his attitude. As one person in the room said, "You know you're in trouble when Margot Kidder says you're nuts!"

David Cassidy is not the only celebrity to have a difficult father. Murray Wilson, Joe Jackson, and Ryan O'Neal, their kids did have issues thanks to their dads but they are fine now, and not hiding behind the fact they had ****** for dads.

I don't know how anyone could compare Jack Cassidy to those other people. Jack was not pimping out his kids or beating them.
There was also an interview with Patrick Cassidy were he said that Jack only spanked him and Shaun once. Jack Felt guilty and never did it again.

Jack never even wanted his kids to go into show business because it was too unstable.


This is from Patrick Cassidy's website.


All four of the late Jack Cassidy's sons - three with Jones - were musical, says their mother. Patrick elected to hone his training primarily through stage work.
"That was a rule of thumb that his father had," says Jones. "His father was not happy with what David was doing. He was proud of him, but he was not happy with the way he attained it. He wanted them to learn their craft and work their way up, which is what Patrick did.""

Here is another quote.

He'd be really touched and proud, I think, that I made the conscience choice to make the theater a career and that I'm making a living at a craft I have developed," said Cassidy, somberly. Jack Cassidy died in a 1976 fire at the age of 49.

It's just a shame what happened to Jack Cassidy - but no way would I put him in the same realm as Joe Jackson and Murry Wilson. :eek:

I think the publicist used the words 'he didn't want to disappoint the fans'.
I have heard that this type of things happen a lot.
David's publicist and David's wife are friends.
They get David into things for the money.
David rebels, and Then the publicist blames the fans.
David needs money for racehorses and Sue is an airplane pilot.
I hope nobody here bought that stupid story of his life again.
They think we are all stupid.

Anyone who attempts to grab anyone's camera should be charged with assault! People have been for doing a lot less.

Agreed, not only does celebrities' treatment of fans often LOSE them fans, it can MAKE them fans. I always liked James MacArthur. After meeting him, I LOVE him. David Cassidy could take lessons from him and others!

This whole thing is very disappointing. :( It makes me admire the gracious people more, but I feel so badly for the fans who misplaced time, effort, attention, and affection on the undeserving. :soapbox:

This David Cassidy thing is like a bad train wreck. I can't stop looking! :(

Very weird story.
I don't want to think of some celebrity throwing up with 102 degree fever coming somewhere just so they don't disappoint me.
So David is a bitter old man who doesn't want to be connected to the show that made him a star.
I am still thinking about those women who go to those shows have to be middle age.
Its got to be more scary than when they were pre-teens.
I don't know how anyone can believe his apology or any of his stories.

How is the boycott going? It seems some fans aware of this situation recently attended a concert of his?

Here's the thread at C'mon Get Happy, which is the biggest Partridge fan site there is:

http://www.cmongethappy.com/bulletin/viewtopic.php?t=3072

How is the boycott going? It seems some fans aware of this situation recently attended a concert of his?

A lot of these tickets were sold before the incident happened. It was at a community college in the Queens.
David only has 6 shows scheduled in the future and one is at Disney World where David does three 30 minute shows (this is probably a free show with admission). Most of the future venues are small and if they can't fill the seats the old fashion way, they will do it with Radio promos.

The part that I found interesting , about the last concert, was that David had a lot of Cassidy relatives that lived in that area that came to the show.
David dissed Jack in front of the audience saying that Jack was a piece of work.
This was at the same show where some local politician gave the guy some proclamation for having roots in Queens.

I think David's career has been going downhill anyways and the last incident is the final straw. Anyone can see that he is just a bitter old man.

I don't think David's condition is anything new. The guy is an alcohalic and is rumored to be bi-polar. ON top of that he is vain and egotistical.

Look at the way David treats his father's memory.
Jack did a sitcom in the 1960's called 'HE and SHE' (they are on youtube) where Jack played a character that was a precursor to Ted Baxter.
Jack's strength was in more dramatic acting and thats the way his career was going when he died, doing episodes of Columbo and such.
DAvid did his character, in Ruby, based on a Jack's version of that 'HE and She' character. This was very backhanded because comedy was not Jack's strong point, it often came off very hammy.

Take David for who he is, someone who just blames problems on everyone but himself. Don't get drawn into his stories,the reality of the situation is usually something different.
The Partridge Family has other actors, even those who just did bit parts, who appreciate it.

I also read that those tickets were non-refundable - so who all the people who bought them before this debacle were between a rock and a hard place. David Cassidy HAS turned into a bitter old man - and has no one to blame for it but himself. :mad:

as far as his contention that his dad was a piece of work maybe thats true but it takes one to know one

I often wonder what Shirley was thinking when she agreed to have David on the show.
David always did have issues that he wanted to blame on other people. Now the administrator of the CMONGETHAPPY.COM site wants to reconsider about whether that site should continue.
David wants to blame his fans for his problems.
Maybe they should move on and leave this guy to his own devices

So sad! Will this be the only place left to go to talk about the show?

On Tuesday, 3/2, David is actually going to reunite with Shirley Jones, Danny Bonaduce and Brian Forster. I wonder if the Hollywood show debacle will come up - but I somehow doubt it!!

Well, I wonder if David will show up. And, if he does, should we stop boycotting him?

I forgot to mention that the reunion is on the Today Show. As for your questions, I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Here Mr. Celebrity..

Here is some money..

Pretend you like me for a minute.

He was so phony on the Today Show. :rolleyes: Brian and Suzanne didn't really get a chance to say much. Danny was...Danny!! :lol:

his tv special made it sound like his ruin came about because of the death at one of his concerts, that certainly didn't help but he would have been washed up soon anyway. He isn't living off the millions he made back then with his concerts because he squandered it, plain and simple. :talk:

This death at one of David's concert still makes it into David's PR and such.
I finally tried to get some research about this.

IF ANYONE KNOWS MORE THAN ME SPEAK UP!

I found this on one of the Monkees sites. It appears that deaths at concerts are not that uncommon because some people have medical conditions and so forth. In this case and the case of the Monkees, the situation seems to be exploited.

What I find curious is that both of these events occurred to
individuals signed to Screen Gems TV and Columbia Pictures Corp.
and both events occurred out of the country and both girls
happened to die from the same problem.

Coincidence? Not very likely. It makes both stories look like
a sham, concocted for purposes of publicity and a very sick way
to get that publicity.

Were both stories complete shams? If so, did the Monkees or
David Cassidy know this from the beginning or were they unaware
the stories may have been false, designed only for purposes of
publicity?
Consider:
The Monkees concert where the girl died occurred in Australia,
while David Cassidy's concert with the same phenomenon occurring
was in England. How hard would it be for a member of the press
or a biographer to check the story out for the complete details
(finding out the names of the girls, their family history, where
the funerals were and where they are buried)?

The Monkees were told about the death of the fan after they
were on the plane, Davy was reported as being very upset. I
presume Cassidy was told in a similar fashion.

Assuming one story is true and the other story was a sham,
which would be the most likely to have occurred? The Monkees in
1968 or David Cassidy in 1971 or 1972?

Assuming both stories are true, what are the odds of that
occurring to two different acts signed to the same studio? The
Monkees were still contracted as actors to Columbia Pictures as
their TV series was in reruns and had been cancelled, but they
were still filming "Head" before and after the
Japanese/Australian concerts. As recording artists, the
Monkees's contracts with RCA extended far beyond the two years
the TV series was on the air. David Cassidy was still an
employee of Screen Gems and Bell Records (owned by Screen Gems
and Columbia) as the "Partridge Family" was still on the air.


Assuming both stories were shams from the get go, why would
their public relations people concoct such a story which could
seriously have backfired in their clients's faces? Rolling Stone
loved any chance to diss the Monkees and if the Australian story
was a sham, you can bet they would have been headlining the story
in their magazine and pronouncing the Monkees as guilty, having
been in on it from the beginning.

As for Cassidy, his PR people may have felt copying something
from an event in the Monkees's career (whether it was true or
false) would make for good publicity for Cassidy. And since
three, maybe four years had passed since the Monkees story, what
would the chances be that someone might possibly remember an
event like that and what were the chances someone would call
them out on it?

I find it hard to believe that such an event could happen
twice to two different acts, each signed to the same studio as
actors. You didn't hear of anything of this nature happening in
any concert involving Elvis, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones.
And I think the chances might have been better for such an event
occurring involving Elvis or the Beatles but it never occurred
in any of their concerts.


Course, there were some deaths at the Rolling Stones concert
in Altamont, but those deaths were the result of people being
stabbed during a fight breaking out involving members of Hell's
Angels, who had been hired as security. Mick backpedaled the
Stones's involvement in hiring the Hell's Angels as security for
several years afterward.

And of course, one can't forget the deaths that occurred at
the Who concert in Cincinnati, but that was also something that
could have been prevented.

One argument in favor of the stories being true is Cassidy
doesn't like the Monkees or he gives the impression he doesn't
like them. It's hard to believe if the story was a sham, that he
would've gone along with it especially if he knew the story
originated with the Monkees.

But David Cassidy has been a strange cat in the past when it
comes to the "Partridge Family". He has criticized the show, his
character, the music, the songwriters and then in the next
breath, he has stated the "Partridge Family" was of more
cultural significance than the Monkees (what drugs is he
taking), that the "Partridge Family" had better success on TV
(okay, give him that one - ABC was on drugs and didn't know when
to cancel a show) and outsold the Monkees on records - quarter
point on that one; the "Partridge Family" had six gold records
to the Monkees's five gold records originally, but after
the "Partridge Family"'s first album, the others shipped gold
but that didn't mean they sold in the stores.

The RIAA changed its rules in the early 70s as to when an album could receive a gold record.

Most of the "Partridge Family" gold records
occurred under the old rule: sell a million dollars's worth of
recordings (of the retail price, which in those days was $5.98,
meaning the album had to sell 167,225 copies to achieve that
goal, less if the album had a higher retail price - no wonder
the RIAA raised the gold standard to a standard 500,000 copies).

With Arista's greatest hits on the Monkees, "Then and Now",
the Monkees were tied with Cassidy/"Partridge Family" gold
albums but they were one up on him as "Then and Now" was
certified platinum, something that no "Partridge Family" album
or Cassidy solo album has achieved.

And Cassidy's bragging
rights on the recordings were pretty much over when Rhino
submitted the Monkees's first five albums for platinum
certification and received certification (for sales in excess of
15,000,000).



As far as David's money, he insist on being in the racehorse business and he loses money on this.
Why then still complain about money lost on royalties years ago?

^ Because he's a gigantic :crybaby:!!

Here is an article about the death of David Cassidy's fan, Bernadette Whelan, in England: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/crushed-to-death-at-a-david-cassidy-concert-1095281.html

Strangely enough, another girl named Bernadette, last name O'Brien, died at a Smashing Pumpkins concert.

Never heard of the Monkees concert death and could find nothing online except a lot about people dying or nearly dying at concerts. I will ask my brother-in-law, the master of Monkees matters, and get back here.

I think The Who concert in Cinncinati back in 1979 was the most amount of people being killed at a concert. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I can't find anything about the Monkees concert death online or anyone who claims to know anything about the alleged incident, but of course it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Anyone able to look in biographies to check?

Here is the link I got the information about the death at the Monkee concert. The discussions are around 10 years old.




Here is another one of this person's quotes

I've always wanted to hear from someone in Oz who attended one
of those concerts. It was also during one of these concerts that
one of the fans collapsed and died from the excitement.
And the Oz concerts is another reason why I dislike the
Partridge Family sham; one of the efforts of Cassidy's PR firm
also claimed a young teenaged girl had also died during one of
his concerts. That gives the impression the story was a sham and
concocted for publicity purposes, which it may have been. But
given that Cassidy likes to slam the Monkees whenever possible,
why would he even be interested in aping an event in their
career? What possible motive? Jealousy?


I guess that Cassidy was 24 and too old to be a teen idol but didn't just want to walk into the sunset.
Why his PR exploits the situation to this day amazes me.
Then again David thought nothing about exploiting his relationship with Susan Dey for a story in a book so I don't think he is above such a thing

The concert death could have been used to make David look good, since he expressed remorse and wrote to the girl's family, and yes it made an excuse for him to quit in style. To this day I remember a big People Magazine piece about it--and that was a loooong time ago. Neither incident is mentioned on Snopes.com. I'd be floored if either of the stories was a sham and encouraged by the PR of the Monkees or DC! :faint:

Anyone who would make up something like a fan's death to get good PR is beyond sick. :mad: :mad: :mad:

I think your negative bias responses towards David Cassidy are useless this thread is guilt shame and depression driven you have a bias blind spot negativity bias soft boundaries and illusory superiority and more don't we all have problems so focus on yourself.

This thread is here so people could vent their opinions. David never apologized for this or anything else.
I guess all the time and money people spent at these and other events where David was not all that well behaved should go but the wayside in your opinion.
You are right in a way, People should focus their time and money on themselves instead of someone arrogant like Cassidy.

Calling someone out for truly unacceptable behavior does not constitute bias against anyone. He should be glad anyone cares enough to notice how he acts.

P. S. As I understand, he didn't apologize outright but dished some bull about how he embraces the PF which is not to be given credulity.

I just read this thread and found it interesting. I wasn't there so I don't know the whole story except what I read. I will say this though and that is having met many celebrities (both popular and washed up)and found something rather interesting.Those who still had huge careers were generally a lot nicer than those who didn't. I know friends of mine have met various celebrities and the ones who were very nice are A+ list stars (Tom Hanks several friends met and liked, same with John Travolta)and the ones who were jerks were mostly has beens like the star of an old 70's show (name escapes me now). I met the lead singer of a British band and he was very rude (though to be fair the other members were nice), but have met other musicians who were fantastic.

Ironically, I have a great story about Bonaduce. Back in the 90's he did a radio show in Chicago and I knew his producer. One time I asked him how he liked working with him, assuming he was rough. In fact we went on to tell me that Bonaduce was actually great to work with and easygoing. Here I was judging him by his antics but his producer really liked him.

I will say though that if your career is pretty much dependent on one thing, like his, that celeb needs to just accept it. Most of his fans are from the Partridge Family and that is the first thing people remember. On the other hand I do understand people want to move away from certain career choices, which is why musicians don't play their biggest hits anymore. If everything happened as mentioned then yes that was poor behavior, however I didn't experience it firsthand.
