I have talked about the recently deceased star of the most popular iteration of the long running children's show before. He has made fairly regular nostalgia appearances in the show, before leaving earlier this year. Except he didn't actually leave. The costar he bullied into quitting back in the day, wasn't the only one. At least three others have quit the show over the years due to him, and for so long, his popularity among fans protected him. The producers finally had enough of his bullying and all round diva behavior and fired him. Losing his gig on the show that made him as well as a recent divorce, probably contributed to his suicide.

Sounds like more bullshit and fake news reporting. Pretty standard for a tmc-4 thread.

David Yost considered JDF a friend, and actually babysat his kids. He considered himself a godfather even.

What the hell do you mean that it's "pretty standard for a TMC-4 thread"!?

I know next to nothing about Frank or Power Rangers, but I do remember when he did his cameo in the fairly recent big screen PR movie there was some talk of how he could be 'difficult' to work with, whatever that meant.

yeah, I don't believe this. So if they fired him for bullying then what was the excuse for getting rid of the others.

His reason for why he left made more sense.

I don't believe David would continue being friends with him if he bullied him. Unless, they talked it out.
