Earlier today, we learned that rumors were circulating about three key cast members being cut from A&E’s hit reality show, Storage Wars. If these rumors are really true, duo auctioneer couple Dan and Laura Dotson were completely have been cut out of the newest season of Storage Wars. And there not the only ones, funny guy Darrell “the Gambler” Sheets has also gotten cut; he’s being taken out of six episodes that were not covered under his contract.
According to entertainment news source Radar Online, it’s because of the lawsuit filed by former cast member, Dave Hester. In the lawsuit, Hester alleges that certain parts of the show are rigged and fake. And in the wake of the lawsuit, A&E is cutting back and has chosen to replace the Dotson’s and Sheets with less expensive talent.
On the contrary, according to TV Guide, A&E has denied the claims that they have dropped the Dotson’s and Sheets. “Not every cast member appears in every episode of the series, but there is no truth to the report that any other members have been dropped,” a network rep said.
Dave Hester’s lawsuit is still pending. Guess we will just have to wait and see who makes the cut on next season’s premiere of Storage Wars!
