Deadliest Catch: Emotional Hell of Discovery Channel Lawsuit Revealed
October 15th, 2010 - 1:30 am ICT by Angela Kaye Mason
Oct 14 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A dispute on the most popular show of the Discovery Channel has led to a lawsuit by the network which led to events which were described by Deadliest Catch star Johnathan Hillstrand as an “emotional hell”.
The Discovery Channel sued two of the stars for three million dollars for alleged breach of contract. The network said that the two brothers who were crab fishermen, Johnathan and Andy Hillstrand had not finished the required work for a spin off of the show called ‘Hillstranded’, and would not give the follow up interviews which they were supposed to sit for.
The two men quit due to the suit, but have since returned. In a ‘CNN’ report, Johnathan admits that the time he was away from the show was horrible, and called it “an emotional hell” that was “more stressful than crabfishing.” They have signed on for two more years with the show.
