Stars of the hit A&E TV reality show “Storage Wars” are dropping like flies. Following a report that three main cast members of the series were being dropped due to budget cuts, an original star is also following suit.

Barry Weiss, 54, one of the primary treasure hunters on the long-running series which chronicles a group of individuals searching for profitable items in abandoned storage lockers, has reportedly made a decision to part ways with the network. According to a report from Radar Online, Weiss has already filmed a secret farewell episode following allegations that the show is unauthentic.

“They haven’t announced he’s leaving yet, but as of right now he is not coming back for season five,” a source close to the show confirmed, claiming profitable products found by Weiss on the program were all planted by producers. “Barry doesn’t even pay for the lockers he buys, the production company does.”

Have you seen the new cast members? I think their new meme is “large breasted women bidding on storage lockers”.

Dave Hester has standing to sue Storage Wars but none of us has standing to sue over DOMA.

Think about that.

[Utah Binger]

I found out that it was all fake................

Brandi is fake? Oh no!

[ErnBatavia]

I just did a Wiki search, and there’s another Barry Weiss in the muzac industry who’s 54......I’m guessing that’s where the author (probably) erroneously pegged his age.

Speaking of which, maybe Geraldo could get a quote on how Manson feels about the war in Iraq and Afganistan, the hope for the Arab Spring to be a success, or the dangers by man poisoning the planet and causing horrific climate change.

He's a "look at me, look at me" buffoon anyhow.

Now if Brandy leaves, then that's something bad happening.

“Barry Weiss, 54”

He’s lived a hard life. I could of sworn he was 70.

[Mastador1]

Sorry, I said mindless, not mind numbing.

[South40]

lol!

[SECURE AMERICA]

Really? People actually believe this was not staged??

[ncfool]

Barry has to be at least 70!

[Popman]

Barry Weiss, 54

Right......!!!

If Barry is 54 years old...I'm Barack Obama...

[TexasCajun]

What's Brandi doing with that gangsta wannabe loser?

Was originally intended for the show to reveal how the units became available but in most cases the original owner either died or their story was too sad. I can imagine if they suffered due to Obama and couldn't pay their bill then the show decided that would PO the left and it would be better for them not to air it.

If everyone would leave it would a real improvement. Even a half hour of staring at closed doors would be an improvement.

[VerySadAmerican]

As far as I’m concerned listening to Barry and looking at Brandy is the only two reasons to watch the show.
