I’ve been looking all over but I can’t find the answers to a couple of questions:
Why did Vinnie leave and was it on good terms or did he demand part ownership, a major raise or promotion or what?
Was Jr.'s wedding on tv or was it kept personal and out of the limelight.
Why did Mikey leave the show and what happened for him and Sr. to be on such bad terms.?
Vinnie left to open his own shop V-Force Customs. He’s also recently expressed some bitter feelings about his days at OCC.
Vinnie got a lot of camera time in the early seasons of AC. But, he wasn’t a Teutul. He didn’t get the same compensation they did. Senior especially got rich. He has a large vintage car collection, Fancy log home with wooded property. Junior got a big house too. I heard Vinnie was very reluctant to return to AC. He’s supposedly getting paid by Discovery to come back. How much? No one has said. But I bet it’s a lot. V-Force is still open and Vinnie still owns it. I guess Discoverys money helps a lot in these tough times.
Mickey developed alcohol abuse problems. His role on AC had to be cut because he was not reliable. His rehab has been discussed on the show. I’m not sure what Mickey’s beef is with Senior. IMHO Mickey has never grown up. The shorts, dirty stringy hair. He always looks like a slob. He’s got problems.
