[@Kilroy_5150]

Do some "real" digging and you will find out that this video is INSANELY one-side (which brings the ignorant people out of the wood-work to say things like, "He got paid more for doing less"). What it doesn't say is that Crawford was practically doing the writing, a little of the directing, and taking all of the abuse because he was the guy who was trying hardest to keep the show going. It's not a wonder the guy exploded on the set, he had too many responsibilities (but they don't want you to know that part). What they also don't want you to know is that Wayans was the majority tension element because he though the show was going to be about him and was soured, through the whole thing, and made things constantly worse by not showing up way too many times for shoots. Clayne was mostly fired for saying a lot of stuff, on set, that Fox didn't like so Sean William Scott was brought in and, big surprise, he got more attention than Wayans and then Wayans (out of nowhere) says, "I'm quitting because of my age/health"...Why didn't he just quit when Crawford was fired then? Because he thought he was going to take control of the situation and, when it didn't happen, he decided to sink everybody. No, if you "dig" (and find out more than what these $hitty videos put out, you find out that Wayans was slowly killing this series, from within, from the start) you get the truth.

[@guardsmen6274]

Bro thanks so much for the info. Also heavily underrated.

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Yeah I heard about that too, that Wayans was pissed the attention wasn't on him and started bitching

[@RICKREMAX]

[@dasdaro]

Yes it is as if Damon Wayans paid to have this video made.

[@Frankie586]

At first I thought the show was going to suck. But after the first episode I was sold. Well I'm not watching it anymore. Goodbye Lethal Weapon, it's been one hell of a ride.

[@lucashouse6610]

Might as well cancel it.

[@Serenityblu23]

When did they say that? I would like to read the article or watch the video of them saying that if you know the site or video?

[@darthstryk7169]

Let's be honest here Damon Wayans ruined this show. Clayne Crawford was the best part of the show. They had to fire 70 crew members that were the loyal to Crawford. That is a high number, if he was so bad then why such a high number had to be fired I will never know.

[@knowledgeovereverything.5415]

Fired and quitting is 2 different things. Fired means they are part of the problem.

[@i_lt_mf465]

@@knowledgeovereverything.5415 They were fired because the company couldn't handle the inside backlash when they knew they were wrong. Also, what per say is, 'the problem'? We're all 70 fired crew members 'emotional terrorists' too? Or was the company incapable of handling any inside rebellion to the failure of handling the situation maturely?

[@axelfoley1406]

@@knowledgeovereverything.5415 Are you that naive? Wayans is like royalty when it comes to television. he's been on the air forever. If he says something, execs will listen. It was his ego that ultimately that got Crawford fired. Now he's blaming his diabetes on why he wants to quit. Diva to the extreme.

[@bumpin0]

@@jazznblues9496 I got you. Wayans nickname on set was lee. Lazy entitled elitist. He never thought the show would take off and didn't want to be there. He would never table read or even pre read the scripts. He would sometimes just not do a scene cause he didn't feel like it. Most of the crew hated him but had to put up with daymon cause he was friends with all the executives and owners of fox and Warner bros. Its no surprise that after he got Crawford fired he just quit the show.

[@inaflash7309]

Clayne did an extraordinary job playing Riggs in the first two seasons. Seeing the development and mysteries of his past captures and maintains the audiences curiosity. The show simply doesn’t feel the same without him. I’ll give Sean a chance though.

[@SunnyHF-nf4bc]

@Inaflash 7 I remember when this happened. I gave Sean a chance. I actually thought Sean was solid especially considering he had big shoes to fill.

[@BravoShow]

Um... they actually HATED each other, which was 1 of the reasons Crawford was fired

[@magoghair]

You should have done more investigating. A lot of Cast members of the show have come out in support of Clayne, as well as some of the crew. They stated the bottle incident was written into the script and the person missed the catch and it hit them in the mouth. They also stated there were NO pictures on set like Damon had suggested. They all tell how incredibly nice Clayne is and how he even stood up for the crew. Even cast and crew from his other projects have stood up for Clayne. It's looking more and more like Damon is an ego maniac that was so jealous of Clayne that he worked to have him fired. He callled fans racist that support Clayne, and some cast and crew are still afraid of losing their jobs because of standing up for Clayne. Hillary Burton was one of the actresses that stood up for Clayne. Seriously you should do better research, cause you basically just glossed over it, in an effort to put the show and Damon in a good light. Fact is without Clayne the show will crash cause fans are leaving already.

[@liberatusblair]

Justin Stone Disagree, elaborate why you do so, move on. In that exact order.

[@zachhill2831]

Wow what an eloquent response. Crawford made the show. Without him its getting canceled. You can post pissy comments about it all you want Justin, but Damon is know for being a drama queen and has now lost the jobs of the entire cast because he didn't like his co-star..... sounds exactly like the self absorbed ass hat people paint him out to be.

[@jimijamesjowitt]

I would have skipped the season if I knew it ended with that bullshit. I swear every show this year has been ruined. About 20 cancelled since they screwed up and put in political bullshit or killed off characters who were carrying their franchise to avoid pay disputes. Seems TV is dead this year and movies are just regurgitation of old stories with a small twist. A twist which more often than not scuttles the whole narrative and means that the next movie has to be prequel to be able to be marketed.

[@toddgarver5397]

Don't forget the fact that Damon Wayans has had bad working relationships with other actors in the past.

[@t_a_z_7499]

Or that a lot of crew members were fired afterwards as well, entire departments. Congregate all of the information, from the various sides involved and then create a vidoc discussing what occurred. This is a slanted presentation of info. PS - Damon Wayons is leaving the show in December, hmm.

[@ryant3600]

Damon is known to be a diva on set, a whiner and demanding. Sounds to me that Damon needs to man up. The other altercation was over a stunt Clayne was going to do, but he brought up some safety concerns to the guest director and he felt that, that director was cutting corners and wasn't hearing him or taking his concerns seriously. So, he got upset, it turned into a yelling match and Clayne throwing the tea. In return Clayne did pay his weeks paycheck to that person that got hit with the bottle, publicly apologized and started "getting help' with anger management etc. which is what Fox wanted him to do. Damon was brought in as the bigger star, the money maker. once Damon started to realize that Clayne had become the star of the show, Damon couldn't stand it, and they started putting more pressure, more problems on Clayne and nit picking him etc. This is exactly what Damon and his LW "Crew" wanted. I hope Clayne goes on to become a huge star and Damon washes away...

I'm so upset about this. My life has been full of loss after loss. When I can leave my life by diving into a good book or TV it helps me to cope. I loved Riggs. His character was very identifiable. Plus the whole show was really good. Action, drama, and comedy.. What more can you ask for. Plus actor Clayne Crawford is quite good. I'm disappointed and wish it could somehow be fixed. Ugh.. Seriously sad about this.

[@alexvandermerwe6680]

You can't right out the main character. This is going to destroy the show. Clayne and Damon together make this series good. Take Clayne away and it sucks. He is spectacular in this role and cannot be replaced, especially by Will Scott from American Pie.

[@rhondaramey6756]

I agree

[@BobLionel]

So why not cover the facts? The reality is that NO ONE on the crew has complained except Damon Wayans. The rest of the crew has 100% supported him. The reality is that Wayans has been jealous because ha hasn't been the STAR of the show. The incident with the Tea was IN THE SCRIPT! If it wasn't "just him", then why hasn't a single other person came forward? Wayans can't deal with the fact that he's just sidekick material. No one will watch the next season.

[@IAMASlave4dem]

The cast 100% supported him? And Wayans 0% supported him then? So how did Wayans come out on top of those odds you stated?

I just watch the show, to be honest I've only watched the first full season and not the second one yet, but just a question: I am definitely on Crawford's side, but if the whole cast has no problem, how can just one person, even if he's a protagonist, just change the whole situation and make Crawford get fired?

[@Chief_Bill]

DRIVER you have answered my question, thanks

[@The1Cramer]

After they recklessly reported reason 1, which was not true, I had to just walk away, unfollow Looper, and weep. Damon Wayans is the reason Clayne was fired, not this bullshit. Wayans would show up unprepared, unwilling to get stuff done citing his religion, and acting like a diva. It was Wayans that got Clayne fired, simple.

Looper is really off base. Finally, Crawford came out and spoke his peace about the whole situation and a few other other sources have reveal it was pure JEALOUSY on Wayans part and Wayans didn't even want to do the show and "phoned-in" some of his work. Some people say his stunt double was on-screen as much as he was. Basically Crawford carried the show with script re-writes and putting in 16 hour days. Looper gives the WRONG impression of "why" this all happened.

it would cost too much for hollywood studio's to pay out crew members, to keep them from suing, so easier to fire actor to help balance sheets in the long run..

If the accusations are were true and there were multiple disciplinary reports on what he was doing then they would still be sued silly by the cast because the studio would have known he was a problem... of course if the reports on him were all from Wayans because Wayans wanted to be the star of the show then once Clayton was gone all the problems would be gone for the studio... Until the next star comes in and Wayans is still the token sidekick.

Without a doubt , Daman Wayons is the main reason. You could see it in his actual tweets (before he deleted them) that he went out of his way to get Clayne fired and Clayne has got support on Instagram from fellow actors and actresses from the show. Daman has genuinely condemned Lethal Weapon and so many people's jobs. I honestly can't understand why he would put his own show at risk of cancellation (which TBH it will get cancelled now, unless this is some elaborate PR stunt) and I can't understand why FOX would try to replace Riggs (AKA THE Lethal Weapon) :(

[@LaraCroftEyes1]

Like how Damon tweet telling the Lethal Weapon fans they can kiss his black ass and then he deleted his twitter account

[@APerfectOutsider]

He actually said that? I only saw a handful of tweets about the shrapnel that hit him that he put up on Twitter before deleting everything (the injury he got was genuinely tiny). I honestly hope this is some weird PR stunt to get people to watch the show next season because Lethal Weapon can't carry on without Riggs.

[@WithoutRemorse12]

APerfectOutsider Nope, Warner Bros TV refused to move foward with the license agreement with Fox if Clayne Crawford was still part of the show. Damon Wayan's deleted tweets.

I'm sure the crew that complained don't want a Twitter mob against if they go public. From the comments here, it seems fans care more about Clayne continuing with the show than the safety and or environment of those around Clayne. Trust me, firing a lead actor of a successful series is no small thing and I'm sure his behavior must've been pretty bad to warrant it.

[@ganjamazing]

Good job looper. Way to only grab one side of the story. And continuously say allegedly the entire time while painting one man to be a villain.

[@Dynamo219]

People really need to look into this themselves this video is very misleading. The face incident was in the script heres a quote from the crew "Clayne never hit the director or any crew or cast member. The incident where the man was hit in the face was written in the script for Riggs to toss a beverage to the suspect. That particular take he missed catching it and it hit him in the face. Not intentional at all". The poster was also said to be false "As an employee of the show, I worked on the Warner Bros lot. I have never seen the poster Damon Wayans says was posted all over the lot. If they were, I would have seen them. In fact I am pretty sure that the building in the photo isn't even on the WB lot". To top it off why are the cast and crew defending him if they wanted him off the show? The only person showing any distaste is Damon. Don't get me wrong I was a big fan of Damon as well before he told everyone to to kiss his ass.

[@nise5430]

Waa Waa Waa send a Waaaambulance! What, didn't Wayans read that this was an ACTION show with TWO main characters or did he just think HE was the main star? Somebody had to do the action sequences and the heavy lifting as an actor, and Clayne filled BOTH roles........OH and the comedic repartee as well, HE made Wayans look good, Wayans should be thanking him!

So this will be a Spoof of Lethal Weapon like Scary Movie SMH Sean is a goof ball no amount of acting will change his goofy face as a Ex~military Rogue cop. damon is not on top anymore. Marlon is and always been the funniest Wayan. If anything Clayne bought damon career back with LW. damon did not play a good Roger but Clayne played a dam good Riggs. We are not watching LW without Clayne. The whole story does not sound right. Diva damon ego got bruised because Clayne was on top and watchers loved his acting skills to the point where he got moved up to producing. We love you Clayne and I know you will successfully find another job that will appreciate your skills. LW will 👎☹👎so go ahead with making season 3 SPOOF OF LW It will cost them more money to try and make this spoof of a show more money to make a diva and a goofball LW3

I disagree with you no actor was better than the other in this Lethal Weapon saga but it is the chemistry between those two actors playing opposing characters yet they are buddies.From Mel Gibson to Danny Glover it was all the same.Just like if they had taken away Damon the show was neither going to be the same.Don't judge actors by the colour of their skin like what you white folks tend to do unlike us we just go to watch a movie not that the main actor or story line is white.

[@jackmckechnie5801]

It's not about the color of their skin and don't make this a racial thing which it is not ...You can watch this show and feel all warm and fuzzy if you want to... but I'm not going to waste my time no matter what race I may therefor be...A racist would not be watching it in the first place. .and I loved the characters..watched it on the network and watched it again on Hulu. The series is about Martin Riggs....Murtaugh is the sidekick...now you have dumped the major character and you want to change the storyline.....It also does not help the fan base that Waynans also told everyone that disagrees in a tweet that you have two seasons and now you can kiss his ass...

[@munhumutapa4243]

Only a few fans knew about Clayne Crawford before the Lethal Weapon series only to make it big on that series.Yes I will miss his character but to say his replacement is going to make the series die I won't agree with you on that. Lethal Weapon just like Rush Hour and Miami Vice are movies which have made a big success not because of star power of one individual only but chemistry between the two main leading roles. Damon Wayans may have contributed to the sacking of Crawford but to say he is a bad actor thats not true .Damon has achieved more in his carrier as an actor than Crawford.

[@jackmckechnie5801]

I've always enjoyed Waynan on his movies..He is a good actor ..but Tom Selleck was an unknown until he took the role of Magnum P1...You couldn't have killed him off and expect Higgens to carry the role..even if you replaced him with someone else...It will be interesting to see how they remake that one this summer since it's been almost 30 years since the show ended...From the trailer ..It does not look too promising. .

[@munhumutapa4243]

Tom Selleck did fit into that role because it was mean't for one lead character Magnum unlike Lethal Weapon which revolves around the life of 2 cops.The only movie I would say if you take out its lead actor and the movie will die is the X-Men although its not supposed to be centered around one main character .Hugh Jackman is the heart of X- Men if he is out I'm sure that would be the end of that franchise.

Clearly he didn't many of the things Wayans said - On Clayne's timeline, there were also anonymous crew members from LW that backed Clayne. They also said all of Wayans' claims were only half truths - details are on those accounts - Wayans acted jealous. You could tell he disliked Clayne so much that he used these incidents as a way to fire him shame on Wayans.

[@LaraCroftEyes1]

Exactly

[@WithoutRemorse12]

Julian H Damon Wayans is a legend but even he doesn't have that type of capital in Hollywood to destroy a White male lead actor's career. The crew was tired of Crawford's antics. Warner Bros refused to move forward with a show that still had crawford in it. Just look at what happened to Isaiah Washington homophobic slur was taken out of context. He was basically blacklisted. He's been in a couple oscar worthy film over the years. They were critically praised but he is still overlooked.

[@WithoutRemorse12]

Julian H Hey people show different sides to people. Some of the crew probably were not the victims of his behaviour and some probably are conditioned to it from seeing it on other sets. Damon Wayans gave his opinion on the matter. He answered within the boundaries of professionalism and workplace conduct. He has a twitter like other celebrities to engage with his audience. Not to engage with rabid trolls who are outsiders pushing assumptions to fit their self confirmed bias narrative.

[@WithoutRemorse12]

Lavian Vi Nope, its hard for race not to be part of the conversation. Especially when America's first wealth was extracted from slavery. When the constitution literally says that slave labor is legal for prisoners. When mass incarceration has locked up so many black men for non violent drug offenses. When whites use drugs at higher or the same rate as blacks. Yet blacks are three times more likely to be arrested for drugs. Say something bluntly racist against blacks and corporations will react to protect their bottom line and image. Use dogwhistle racism and you can get a job at Fox news. Racism is a power structure. Say something bad to a white cop you may end up arrested on trumped up charges or shot dead resisting police brutality.

Please, please, please bring Clayne back, and put him with Sean! That'd be one Hell of a good show! Think about it, the possibilities are endless... My favorite moment with Sean was the first episode when he said, "I'm new in town. Can I hang?" Look at it again. That was what I personally expected from the show. So, change up the chemistry... Let them (Clayne and Sean) play off each other. Sean uses comedy to deal, while Clayne uses his crazy, drunk antics (as expected) as his coping skills. Show each other up, compete like - this ONLY an example - "I got this scar from..." " Well, I got this scar from..." , then go forward with one truly successful show! Hell, make this new show - a spin off. It'd be a complete success! BTW, have you seen Sean William Scott? Magic Mike f'or sure! And, yes he does have the chops to do the job. YES, INDEED! They, each have their demons, and could even hate each other at first, but through some acts of similarities, they bring each other back.They become one Hell of a team!!!
