richardIts raining reality stars in trouble of various degrees this week. First it was “So You Think You Can Dance” choreographer Alex Da Silva, who landed in a tiff with the legal authorities again on the charges of allegedly assaulting four women between the period of 2004 to 2009.

Then, a contestant on the VH1 reality show “Mega Wants A Millionaire,” Ryan Alexander Jenkins is wanted by the police in suspicion of the murder of former swimsuit model, Jasmine Fiore. Finally, we have Richard Hatch, a former participant of the popular reality show “Survivor” landing in the soup, once again.

Hatch, the first winner of the reality television show on CBS, “Survivor” had been sentenced to 51 months in prison in 2006 because of tax invasion and had also been placed under house arrest more recently. Hatch was arrested again this week after appearing in an interview with Matt Lauer for the “Today Show” on NBC networks.

Although the officials have not stated any official reason for placing Hatch under arrest, it seems that it is someway or the other related to the interview itself. When appearing for the interview, he might have violated some of the terms of his house arrest.

Hatch was reportedly taken to the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office in Bourne, Massachessetts, the place where the Federal Bureau of Prisons hold all federal inmates. He was taken there directly after being nabbed by the police at his sister’s house in Newport, R.I., where he had been placed under house arrest recently after having served nearly four years in prison.
