You Won't Be Able To Tell The Difference Between Old Kermit And New Kermit

As I am sure you can imagine, I have experienced every possible emotion since October 2016, when I received a phone call from The Muppets Studio’s executives to say they were recasting. Through a new business representative, I have offered multiple remedies to their two stated issues which had never been mentioned to me prior to that phone call. I wish that we could have sat down, looked each other in the eye, and discussed what was on their minds before they took such a drastic action.

Meanwhile, Disney reportedly said Whitmire was let go due to unprofessional behavior , according to THR, which also states Brian Henson (chairman of the Jim Henson Company and son of the Muppets creator) agreed with Disney . 

After Whitmire published his blog post, a representative for The Muppets Studio told HuffPost in a statement, “The Muppets Studio thanks Steve for his tremendous contributions to Kermit the Frog and The Muppets franchise. We wish him well in his future endeavors.”
