In a controversial turn of events, Teen Titans Go! star Greg Cipes has revealed that Warner Bros. Animation has fired him from his role as Beast Boy, claiming that it was his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis that led to his termination. However, ever since Cipes took to social media to share this startling update, several reports have come out that suggest that the veteran voice actor might not have divulged the entire truth.

Greg Cipes claims he was wrongfully terminated from Teen Titans Go!

On September 7, DC Brand Influencer Emmanuel Devon Newsome shared a post on his social media profile.

In his Instagram post, Newsome noted that he had an extensive conversation with Greg Cipes, wherein the artist disclosed that Sam Register, the President of Warner Bros. Animation, had wrongfully fired him, “while the other original actors get to keep their jobs.”

Cipes shed more light on the situation in the comment section of the said post, writing, “Warner Brothers literally fired me on Valentine’s Day right after I publicly shared my Parkinson’s diagnosis.”

In a second comment, the Ben 10: Alien Force alum pleaded with his admirers to take action, stating, “It’s like a death to me that only the fans can bring back to life.”

Nevertheless, the timeline of Cipes’ accusations seems to be a bit hazy, considering he shared an Instagram post in April, two months after his alleged firing, thanking Warner Bros. for keeping him employed despite his ailment.

Moreover, according to Comic Book Resources, a source has claimed that not only has Warner Bros. Animation not fired Greg Cipes at all, but the studio has gone as far as to create a new Teen Titans Go! character to keep him as a cast member.

While the entertainment giants have recast the part of Beast Boy due to creative differences, they have offered a development deal to Cipes, with him also having recorded dialogues for his reported new role in Teen Titans Go! Season 10.

Furthermore, with Greg Cipes recently sharing conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic on his X (formerly Twitter) profile, viewers should take his claims with a grain of salt until more concrete reports about his supposed firing come out.
