Speaking on "The Adam Carolla" radio show Wednesday, Bonaduce admitted he didn't like Fairplay. He said he thought the awards show was over and was leaving when he saw Fairplay on the stage, asking the audience why they were booing him.

Bonaduce said he went on stage and told Fairplay the crowd was jeering at him because they hated him, prompting Fairplay to run at, jump on and wrap his legs around Bonaduce.

He said he didn't know if Fairplay was joking, but added he grabbed Fairplay by the seat of the pants and flipped him over his head into seat, not realizing how light he was.
