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.

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

Retro76 · 10-28-2009, 12:13 AM

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

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

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!

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.

Word-of-mouth travels fast and one negative appearance can have a huge impact on your fans and reputation.

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.

gidgetgrape · 10-28-2009, 10:19 PM

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.

HOLLYWOODPD · 10-28-2009, 11:21 PM

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!!!

comedyfreak · 10-29-2009, 06:00 AM

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...

ScottLA · 11-01-2009, 11:14 PM

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...pic.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!

comedyfreak · 11-04-2009, 12:54 AM

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.

HelloLarry · 11-04-2009, 01:43 AM

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...

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...

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.

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.
