Dustin Diamond Has Gone Too Far: Accuses Mario Lopez of Rape - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 09-27-2009, 07:41 PM

Former Saved By The Bell actor Dustin Diamond has accused TV bosses of paying off a girl who alleged his co-star Mario Lopez date-raped her in 1993. Diamond, who played geeky Samuel 'Screech' Powers in the hit '90s show, has made a number of shocking revelations about activities behind the scenes of the high school drama in his new memoir "Behind The Bell".

In one chapter, titled 'A.C. Makes the Ladies Scream', Diamond claims Lopez was a womanizer who regularly used his fame as character A.C. Slater to take advantage of female fans.

He writes, "(Lopez) hit on every co-star, every extra, every production assistant and every fan he found himself sitting next to."

Lopez was at the center of a date-rape scandal in 1993, when a teenage girl accused him of luring her back to his house and forcing himself on her.

A police investigation was launched but the TV hunk, who denied the claims, was never arrested and no charges were filed against him.

Diamond alleges the young girl only chose not to press charges after NBC network chiefs paid her $50,000 to "keep her mouth shut".

But the 32 year old insists he was not surprised when the date-rape case came to light, admitting, "He didn't take no for an answer."

Representatives for NBC and Lopez have refused to comment on Diamond's claims.

I remember reading about that when the story broke in 1993. But Dustin is using it for his own personal gain, which is sickening.

Dustin is about to find out the very hard way about being a loose cannon with his mouth. I woudn't be surprised to hear if he has been vandalized, beaten or anything else. I'm sure a lot of SBTB fans are angry with him.

I hope somebody clobbers this guy in the face, and shoves his book and accusations down his a$$. i don't think this is true, but it was out their for the press to make news of it, before Screech did. Who does he think he is, that he can talk about everybody else, and poor ol Screech is perfect, that nothing can be said about him in return? He has another thing coming, if he thinks that. What an ass.

To add to my post, I wish Harvey Waldin would of kicked his ass. Everybody, remember what happened at the end of that show and back and forth during the whole season? Craziness.

OMG, that is horrible! He has sunk to a new low! I hope this book comes back to haunt him-big time! It would be cool if the cast bands together to take him down!

Wreckless · 09-27-2009, 11:12 PM

Worst 2 Books in History, perhaps?

"Behind The Bell" by Dustin Diamond, and "If I Did It" by OJ Simpson.

Yeah I think so.
