In a tweet on Friday, Derick claimed that he was not fired from TLC but rather went in a "different direction."
"Unbelievable what's considered newsworthy these days, but then again, this is how I first heard that I was 'fired,'" he wrote. "For the record, I was never fired. I just felt it best for my family to cut ties months ago, as we are heading in a different direction."

In November, TLC tweeted that Derick had not participated in the show for months and that there were no plans to feature him in the future. The tweet came after Derick made transphobic comments about TLC star Jazz Jennings.
