Source?!

his own myspace page says he was no longer part of lg15 series, all his fans are very angry. lonelygirl15.com shows everyone is angry. Like me!!!

Then put a quote from the page (or screencapture) and a link to it. I don't have a MySpace account so I'd like to see it here, and others who do may want to see it there. --10:42, 9 November 2006 (PST)

Brucker, I'm MySpace friends with him, his note says:

not on lonelygirl15 any more

So yeah, today was an extremely shitty day for me. Basically to sum it up, because I dont want
to get into the specific's I was told that I will not really be part of the LG thing anymore.
That sucks. So I will be looking for another job in the resturant business. Thats what I was
told, to start looking for another job today. It sucks to think that now I'm not a good enough
actor to be on a show I was cast for, but hey, it is what it is. So I want to say to all of my
new friends that it was a pleasure being able to talk with as many of you as I could. I will
truly cherrish that in my heart. The breif time that I had was wonderful. I will still aspire
to be a successful actor, looks like I've just hit a speed bump. Take care everyone, and good
luck Jess, you were the best and I cant thank you enough for being in my corner. I cant thank
you enough for the wonderful expeirence it was to work with you. Knock'em dead

I can add a screen capture tonight. I'm a little conflicted. It appears to be true, I'm annoyed if it's happening, but i've worked hard on this 'pedia and don't want to see it go to crap. At the same time, I think it should represent the whole truth, including any firing.--JayHenry 10:46, 9 November 2006 (PST)

I would like to note that the text above does not outright say that Yousef was "fired". It may be that Danielbeast is going to be killed off in an upcoming episode, resulting in him no longer being needed for the series. This seems to me to be more reasonable than just dropping him. Furthermore, if he goes out with dignity, I think many of the fans will be able to forgive the creators. One last note: if the creators were suffering from Anti-Arab Discrimination, don't you think they wouldn't have hired him in the first place? It's not like they suddenly realized months into the project that a guy named Yousef Abu-Taleb was an Arab, right? --Brucker 11:00, 9 November 2006 (PST)
