[@vicenzor9699]

Honestly the knowledge he was an alcoholic makes me think he might have had some serious issues and caused a lot of grief for the people around him as virtually all substance abusers end up doing eventually. He very likely said and did things that just broke the friendship, and Mike doesn't seem like the type of dude to forgive and have patience. He seems like an opportunistic ass.

It's shocking how Mike, Danielle and American Pickers have treated Frank!! The amount of years, they've known him, they should've supported him and helped him despite what was going on behind the scenes. But they kicked him to the curb like he's nothing!!

[@scottieman2]

[@gkrstini]

if you watched show you could figure our mike, always saying about sentimental stuff, how precious all is, but also he said i cannot paid that much, i must make some profit, but that profit is double, show like show, it is all fake for viewers to watch something

[@horaciolinares8597]

I wouldn't say he was kicked to the curb. If a tv show series has to keep going because of a contract then the show must go on.with or without the second star present and not knowing when that person is coming back what are the producers of the show supposed to do? Cancel the show? No it keeps going and tries to find fill in people to help with series. Unfortunately recovery took too long and that's why Frank is out . Sad for Frank but maybe he'll have his own show and be main Star

[@davelanger]

@@gkrstini You know why the profit usually has to be double right? It's like food costs. The stuff they buy to flip, also has to pay for things like gas for all the trips they do, has to pay for their workers, has to pay their salaries as well. And on most of the huge items they get no where near double.

Mike at least stepped to the plate and paid up but Frank was always trying to lowball every person they met. Hope he does better in his next journey.

The whole situation is like a band asking fans to choose(eg.Motley with Niel or Colrabi).Fans are taking or seemingly taking sides between Frank or Mike.It's really unfair for fans to be forced to do that.I hope they will be able to talk sometime in the future .

[@williamteeter2022]

Frank was greedy and always tried to triple his money or better. He would cheat a lot of older people that were using their collections for retirement purposes. The show was Mike's idea from the start so he deserves more credit. I don't think Frank owned as much of the stores as Mike .

[@looklookerlooking]

I totally agree with you. Plus alcoholics have no filter when drunk, they will disrespect any and everyone around and tell them what they really think about them. That Cheapskate had 2 DUI's and a rehab stay, so he was totally out of control. During that period of being drunk, he may have burnt way too many bridges by the time he got sober.

[@davidlambert6171]

Frank been charged with DUI a couple of time and have been on rehab. He said mike did not reach out to him for 2 years. Mike also have problems from his wife having lymphoma and daughter Charlie’s several surgeries. Mike was down in the dumps also for something he cannot control while Frank was having a drinking problem which aggravated his Crohn’s disease. He expected Mike to reach to him?!! Frank throwing the blame game to everyone except himself.

[@jag5014]

Just "back surgery"? Right... Frank admitted to checking into rehab in '20 and wasn't sober until '21. It's obvious his addiction was the main issue and had probably been a nuisance until it reached a head. Frank isn't doing himself any favors by refusing to take responsibility and instead trying to play the victim and turn fans against Mike.

[@r_aguilar68]

How can it be 21 seasons when it debuted in 2010?

[@user-sw4qd2up2s]

[@leomartino8873]

I hope they squash this beef

[@horaciolinares8597]

I truly think if they've been friends for so many years that they can become friends again. Frank's upset because Mike didn't call him to let him know how he was asking to see how he was doing and that made things worse. In the meantime Mike has his own struggles and maybe over time the past didn't call and made things worse for the relationship. I wish him all the best and I think it would be difficult for anybody to say anything without somebody ridiculing them for what they've said. If Frank is mad then Mike should give him a call and work things out sounds like a man drama to me. And what Frank said saying Mike hasn't said five nice things to him in the past 10 years I really doubt that. If what we're seeing is all an illusion Mike looking like a nice guy and he's a jerk in real life then so be it Frank can find his own show .he will probably be happier that way if he wants to be a star on his own not playing second fiddle which I think is part of the problem in itself.

[@gmomnery945]

What a shame theyre treating FRANK like yesterdays trash after all the years he was with the show! Even if he has or had issues with drinking is not reason to throw him to the curb.

The show isn’t gonna be the same. I truthfully haven’t watched in years. But, you guys are really all jumping to conclusions here. Frank is being the loud one throwing Mike under the bus. But what brought Mike to the point of not talking to Frank for two years? That just doesn’t happen for no reason. We don’t know what Frank could’ve done or said to cause that. He’s telling his side only. You don’t just get injured and your friend doesn’t reach out. Something else must’ve happened. I think Mike is really protecting him by not saying anything more than what he did. I don’t know how people aren’t seeing that.
