HOLLYWOOD - Former Partridge Family star Danny Bonaduce is suing his former radio showco-host Jamie White for slander.
Bonaduce, who used to host The Jamie and Danny Show on Los Angeles station
Star FM, alleges White made "numerous false and defamatory statements" on air
about the redhead actor, while he was in rehabilitation for his alcohol
addiction in May.
Bonaduce, 46, claims White lied about him attending work while under the
influence of drugs or alcohol, and is asking for compensatory and punitive
damages.
The actor, who played Danny in the cult 1970s show, quotes White as telling
listeners, "I've been so patient about all of this crap, you know. I've been so
freaking patient about and I've dealt with it, and I've dealt with [Bonaduce]
being higher than a kite on this show."
Bonaduce also alleges White claimed Star FM couldn't insure him because of
his substance abuse and he swore at his daughter in front of his radio
colleagues.
The actor was fired from Star FM earlier this summer after six years
working at the station.
