Behind The Bell: Shocking revelations from behind the scenes of Saved By The Bell

I loved Saved By The bell growing up as a kid. Every Saturday, Sunday morning I would tune in to see what the gang from Bayside were getting up to this week. I imagined that my high school days would be as fun as them. Then later on, when Trouble was a channel, I would watch their adventures all over again, sometimes for two hours in a row. I always figured that as the chemistry between the cast members was so good that they probably all really liked each other and got on really well in real life. Not so. I just found this link, which strains all the facts out of Dustin Diamond (Screech)'s autobiography so you don't have to read it, and boy are there some revelations. Wanna know who was getting with who behind the scenes? Want to know some bizarre stories including rumours of paedophilia and three ways between cast members? Check the link and let me know what you think about all this. Like I said, it kind of casts a dark shadow over my young childhood to know what these guys were up to behind the scenes!

Here is the link

2nd time lucky! Link should be working now. I just ordered the book from amazon, literally can't wait to ready some of this stuff!!

Some pretty shocking stuff...betting that most is BS though...

You better watch it, preppy... Dustin Diamond has been known for stirring up controversy, and has stated a while ago that he was broke and started a campaign called "Save Screech`s House" where he sold tshirts online so he could keep his house. Don`t know if it was successful. But he`s been in a porno, and made a jerk of himself more than once on reality tv. I guess that doesn`t make this untrue, but why wait so long to say this if you are desperate for money like 8 years ago? Did he just finally get desperate enough? I`ve heard a long time ago that all 6 main cast members have all hooked up with eachother. I guess it`s bound to happen when you`re all growing up together and having everything you could want. I think when people are happier and their needs are taken care of, they will become more apt to be sexually active. Anyway, if there was pedophelia going on I wouldn`t be surprised, they were cute kids in a place no kid should be. Not that it`s ok, but if you did a little research you`d never want to be involved with the creeps who run the tv and movie industries. Let alone your kids. And about the 3 somes... catagorize that under duh. Any other shocking facts? I did not click the link... could you possibly list more? More than 2 at least? I`m curious what the ex pornstar who`s desperate for money is saying now. Reruns are still on where I`m at, but you gotta be awake at like 7am.

Pretty much what you mentioned, and that all the female stars would basically jump anything that moved. (except Screech, of course)...

Bitter...party of one!

i bet most would be exaggerated, but looking how the book is under biography/ biography/ memoir section on amazon should make you think that there has to be some what truth to the story. and not forgetting how Defamation of Character/ Libel can and will be taken to court by most celebs who feel that they have been wrongfully or spitefully named/placed in a negative image in what ever published statement..
its one thing if he put it up on twitter since its micro blogging but as a published bio exposing how a Hollywood pre-teen TV star/icon for a certain generation (the geeks in the early 90's) turns into a grumpy old man implicating felony child molestation on numerous occasions is actually something im pretty sure if he were taken to court he can somewhat back up his statements as far as witnesses and photos who knows about the homemade/backstage footage that no one sees.

Defemation/Libel= Defamation—also called calumny, vilification, traducement, slander (for transitory statements), and libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)—is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation a negative image. It is usually a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant).[1] In common law jurisdictions, slander refers to a malicious, false,[2][not specific enough to verify] and defamatory spoken statement or report, while libel refers to any other form of communication such as written words or images.[3] Most jurisdictions allow legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against groundless criticism. Related to defamation is public disclosure of private facts, which arises where one person reveals information that is not of public concern, and the release of which would offend a reasonable person. "Unlike [with] libel, truth is not a defense for invasion of privacy."[4][not verified in body] False light laws are "intended primarily to protect the plaintiff's mental or emotional well-being."[5] If a publication of information is false, then a tort of defamation might have occurred. If that communication is not technically false but is still misleading, then a tort of false light might have occurred.[5] In most civil law jurisdictions, defamation is dealt with as a crime rather than a tort.[6] A person who destroys another's reputation may be referred to as a famacide, defamer, or slanderer. The Latin phrase famosus libellus means a libelous writing.

Yeah I heard about the tee shirt thing, apparently 'screech' is trademarked to the production company behind saved by the bell so he had to release his tee shirts with 'screeech' on! Could it get any worse for that guy...

I thought about that...but by ignoring it, they're actually doing more good. If they sue, it will make the news, etc. vs. the book ending up in the bargain bin. I'm betting their publicists advised just letting it go.

I wonder if Zack or Slater got it on with the girl who played Stacy, or Tori? (remember Stacy, she is on that show with the fat guy who works at ups)

Tori! Wow, the memories are flooding back now. She was the 'bad girl' right, she would eat Screech for breakfast!

Leah Remini!! I wonder, too. That Tory girl, where is she now??

Great link by the way. It didn't give too many spoilers, so I think I will still read the book!
