Dustin Diamond Has Car Repossessed, Almost Loses House, Now is Being Sued! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 03-24-2009, 11:34 PM

Former child star Dustin Diamond is facing legal action from an energy company after allegedly failing to pay his utility bills.

A lawsuit filed by We Energies indicates that the actor, who played nerd Screech Powers in the teen sitcom Saved By The Bell, has failed to pay an outstanding bill of $2,079 for amenities provided to his home in Port Washington, Wisconsin. Diamond, 32, has until April 15th to respond to the lawsuit, filed in Wisconsin's Ozaukee County Circuit Court and obtained by the Journal Sentinel newspaper.

It isn't the first time the star has landed in financial trouble - in 2006 he faced the foreclosure of his home unless he paid the $272,000 he owed under a land contract. He called on fans to help him come up with the cash by buying T-shirts that read: "I paid $15.00 to save Screech's house."

The foreclosure case was dismissed after Diamond was able to secure the funds. But his bad luck returned in November when Ford Motor Credit Co. repossessed his car.

Maybe Dustin should get back into acting. He could come on Degrassi The Next Generation.

Jude The Obscure · 03-27-2009, 12:50 AM

or maybe "Saved by the Bell Goes to the Nursing Home"!

I would feel sorry for him, but he seems to be a real jerk. I watched some of his antics on Celebrity Fit Club, and he seemed like an @$$!!!

geez...i guess the highlight of his life has really passed.

ThomasE · 04-13-2009, 09:43 PM

I disagree, he was only being a A$$ because of crazy a$$ harvey. Harvey was talking to adults like he were their kids and I felt Dustin should have challenged him more-lol

Port Washington? That is where the family on Step by Step were supposed to have lived.

Maybe he watched to much Step by Step and decided to move there.

80sTrivia · 05-03-2009, 08:13 AM

He seems to be such a sad case. He really needs to give up acting/comedy (he's not very good at either) and get a real job, instead of begging for hand-outs all the time or making so-called "porn". The star he tried to hitch on has already left the galaxy...

I feel so bad for Dustin

Silly Lily · 05-04-2009, 05:36 PM

He has a tell-all book about the behind the scenes stuff on Saved by the Bell coming out this fall. Maybe he'll earn a few bucks from that. I know I'll read it, lol, even though I'm sure it's a bunch of made up crap.

He'll get money from the SBTB book, but I predict he'll blow it all and be back at square 1.
