Beast Boy actor says he was fired after Parkinson’s diagnosis

Actor Greg Cipes, known for being the voice of Beast Boy in the Teen Titans Go! universe, recently revealed the shocking truth of his firing.

He is claiming that Warner Bros. had him fired after he revealed his early onset Parkinson’s diagnosis.

The news was revealed by Emmanuel Devon Newsome, a DC brand influencer, and it lead to major support from fans, as well as outrage towards the studio.

Tagging James Gunn, the current head of DC, Newsome explained, “Hey @jamesgunn since teen titans go falls under elseworlds the fans need your help. I had the pleasure of speaking with Greg Cipes and he shared with me lots of upsetting details and information of how he was wrongfully terminated by Sam register while the other original actors get to keep their jobs.”

The caption continued, “He said it was after Valentine’s Day and the og titans cast begged sam that the show would not the same without Greg and the things that Sam register said and did is very inhuman! Greg told me he has been discriminated against because of his Parkinson’s and they are trying to steal his voice and replace him with a mimic for the new teen titans go season. Dc fans spread the #savebeastboy hashtag Greg needs your help!”

One fan commented on the situation, remarking, “Beast Boy is my favorite Teen Titan growing up as a kid and especially since Greg Cipes voices him, when I think of Beast Boy I imagine him with Greg Cipes’ voice and what’s happening to him is unfair.”
