Screeched: "Uncomfortable" Saved By the Bell Cast Bans Dustin Diamond From Reunion
The Saved by the Bell gang's all here! Almost!
Bayside High School's lovable loser, Samuel "Screech" Powers, portrayed by Dustin Diamond, was notably airbrushed out of an old cast picture and left off the cast's reunion on the cover of People magazine, released earlier this week.
Was it because of his upcoming Saved By the Bell tell-all book? His nasty sex tape? His Celebrity Fit Club meltdowns? His troubles with Wisconsin mortgage loans?
Yes, yes, yes and yes.
“The other cast members were very uncomfortable with including him,” a People spokesperson confirms. Ouch, Double-D. Dissed by Lark Voorhies. That hurts.
Diamond's forthcoming Saved By the Bell memoir is a big reason his old pals' defenses are up. Mark-Paul Gosselaar openly slammed him to Newsweek.
"What's he going to say?" Gosselaar sarcastically posited. "We were f--king groupies at 14? I can't wait to read his book, because I don't have a memory of a lot of the shows. Maybe it was because I was doing lines off of the audience members' a----."
"I'm sure he's going to write something crazy. So he's writing a book, I'm not afraid of what he has to say. There are not too many skeletons in my closet."
How did Diamond feel about the blatant snub? Apparently the same way Screech felt after being repeatedly brushed aside by love interest Lisa Turtle.
"Of course he cared he wasn't invited," a Diamond pal said. "Wouldn't you?"
Star in one lousy sex tape and your childhood pals pretend you never existed. Let this be a lesson to all you derelict, unsuccessful stand-up comedians out there.

On June 11, 2006, Diamond appeared on the Dean Blundell show in Toronto on 102.1 The Edge, revealing he was in fact broke and was facing foreclosure from a lender, as poor credit was preventing him from obtaining a mortgage from a bank. On June 13, 2006, Diamond appeared on The Howard Stern Show stating that he was given 30 days to come up with US$250,000 or risk losing his Port Washington, Wisconsin, home for failing to make payments on his land lease. Diamond said he blamed Arthur Giraldo, a mortgage broker for New York Capital Exchange, who Diamond claims "screws over the working man then laughs at their expense."[Diamond decided to sell t-shirts for $15 with "I paid 15 dollars to help Screeech [sic] save his house" emblazoned on the front. He said that he would need to sell 30,000 t-shirts to completely cover the costs. He explained the extra 'e' in Screeech was needed because of copyright laws, since he does not own the rights to the name or character. On August 14, 20

I agree with Marques. Dustin Diamond is a complete jerk! Just because he was one of the cast does not mean he earns a right to be at the reunion. He has treated everyone like dirt. I can't understand why they kept him on the show to start with. He was a little jerk then and a big jerk now. If someone acted like that to you at your home would you invite them back?

A shame. They are all grown up now. Time to act grown up. People do stupid things. Get over it. Forgive him. like it or not Dustin was a cast member and should be included.

The way he acted when he was on Celebrity Fit Club truly showed how much of an @$$ he acted! Calling Kimberly Locke a loser, other stupid bull-$#%* antics, and starting a fight with Harvey (of all people!)
Look at who's the loser now!
And he's barred from the Reunion? Well there's an old saying: "you act like an @$$, you end up treated like an @$$!"

WOW! I am trying very hard to be "bothered" by Diamonds banning from the new show. But, I cannot seem to muster any "I give-a-hoot."
The guy was a loser and dork when he was on the original show. His acting abilities were sub-par with the rest of the cast. THAT IS WHY HIS CAREER FAILED! No talent = No future.
A Perv? Oh yeah. Psychotic? Without a doubt. Talented? Where?
Screech/Diamond, get some help. You may still be able to salvage some sort of life....After the bell.......
