'Survivor' villain Russell Hantz busted for battery
"Survivor's" favorite love-to-hate villain has had a run-in with the law.Russell Hantz -- he of the piercing eyes, pot belly and black soul -- was arrested in Lafayette, Louisiana Friday morning (April 23) for attacking someone at the Festival International de Louisiane, reports TMZ.
The castaway was partying during the five-day Francophone world music street fest when he allegedly "shoved" a fellow festivalgoer to the pavement.
Before you could say "Survivors, ready? Go!" he was cuffed and taken to a nearby jail where he was eventually released.
Hantz, who was a runner-up on "Survivor: Samoa," is currently still in play on "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains."

I'm not surprised.
good publicity.
Russell Hantz pushed down an 18 year old girl and was arrested. That is the real story.
Surely you could've found a better picture to use???
RH is a good player and is entertaining to watch but his narcissistic ego is his downfall. That and survivor is fixed, I mean really, Parvati gives away two idols? Riiight.
@ Lafayette resident |
prove it, where are your facts ????
Well, if we women have to endure the scanty and revealing clothing that the women wear on Survivor, let the men have to endure the scanty and revealing clothing that Russell is wearing. ewwwwww!!!
Yes, we must insist on complete accuracy and confirmation when we are speaking of such relevant social issues.
You would think that could wear a few more threads to cover their privates.This is

Facts. The girl he "shoved to the ground" was his 18 year old girlfriend. It was not a mere shove, but a brutal push to the ground, holding her down and yelling at her. Facts, because I know the person who called the police. This guy is a total a-hole and I have never even watched Survivor. He's a jerk when he comes into the place I work. He's a jerk to anyone around here who has ever encountered him. But physical violence to an 18 yr old girl, not to mention having a wife and kids, is the epitome of scumbag.
