(Boston) “Survivor” winner Richard Hatch says he’s the victim of a “witch hunt” by federal prosecutors.
Hatch completed a tax evasion sentence earlier this month. He complained to NBC’s “Today” show Tuesday that he was taken from his sister’s apartment while wearing boxer shorts in August and held in solitary confinement for 30 days after granting TV interviews without permission.He called it “the worst time of my time in prison.”
But Barnstable County, Mass., Sheriff James Cummings says Hatch refused to get dressed when deputies arrived to take him to jail. The sheriff also disputes that Hatch was in solitary confinement.
Cummings calls Hatch “a stranger to the truth.” A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Providence, R.I., would not comment.
Hatch was convicted in 2006 of failing to pay taxes on the $1 million he won in 2000 on the CBS reality show.
Dear Richard Hatch:
As unofficial and self-appointed Ambassador of Gay, I am asking that you SHUT YOUR HOLE forthwith. You are hereby directed to stop making an ass of yourself, and to comport yourself with a modicum of dignity. Should you fail to comply with this directive at any time, for the rest of your life, you will report to a lesbian-owned lobster boat operating out of any harbor from as far south as Rockaway Bay, New York to as far north as Sydney, Nova Scotia, and you will do as said lobsterwoman directs you, for as long as she deems necessary to rid you of your childish and near-delusional behaviors.
This jerk needs to pay his taxes and crawl back under the rock he slithered out from under.
Yes Jessica, that’s just what he’s doing!
This is no gay person for young or old for that matter to look up to. He needs to pay up and get out of the spotlight for good!
Hatch,
Stop making us look bad and pay your taxes like a good citizen!
Yes, he’s so totally a victim of the witch hunt against those who DON’T PAY THEIR FREAKING TAXES! Jeeze, just pay your taxes, dude!
this Victim charade isn’t pretty Richard! you made over a 1 Million dollars, you need to pay your taxes first. If you were so foolish to not get the producers promise to pay taxes, you as much of a fool as the people you competed against on the show! Don’t make me hope they put you back in prison! You’re no Leona Helmsley! Even she paid up!
