Hatch’s latest troubles will, of course, only add fuel to the 48-year-old’s fire. During his chat with Lauer, Richard accused the prosecutor of misconduct and claimed he was treated unfairly because of his homosexuality. “My personal opinion — [the judge] was trying to discriminate against me,” he stated. “I don’t think you or anyone else could deny that we, as homosexuals, face discrimination.”

So what about those unpaid taxes?? The former reality star still claims CBS was supposed to write that check to the IRS. He also insists that he was never assessed by the government for the year 2000 (when he won Survivor: Borneo). “Whatever they assess, I’m going to pay. Whatever is owed, I will pay,” Richard insisted. “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.”

But should that bill come tomorrow, a payment would still be far behind. The $1 million winner revealed that he has been “financially devastated” by the legal situation.
