Richard Hatch back in jail

The original winner of Survivor, Richard Hatch, was interviewed on the Today Show today about his experience in prison for tax evasion. Hours later, he ended up back in jail. You can view the video above and read a full story here.

Hatch claims among other things that he is being discriminated against because of his sexuality. He also says, re: the taxes:

“Whatever they assess, I’m going to pay. Whatever is owed, I will pay,” Hatch told Lauer. “I’ve to this day never had an assessment. There were other issues on those tax returns, as there would be on any American’s return, that people would question.”

Heard there was a huge march being set up for the town he resides with his sister? To support him!! 10,000 people expected from all over the country.

You will have to admit this was kind of a crazy story. And kind of ironic. He gets arrested for violation of house arrest to be on a TV show to explain his previous arrest. Wow!

They must not have watched Survivor.
