'American Pickers' Return Without Frank Fritz Leaves Fans Begging for Healed Relationship

American Pickers fans have been in an uproar ever since the exit of longtime co-host Frank Fritz, and the return of the show has only brought those issues back to the forefront. Fritz's exit is likely due to his ongoing feud with former co-host Mike Wolfe. When Fritz's exit was announced in July, Wolfe released a statement wishing him well. "I have known Frank for as long as I can remember, he's been like a brother to me," Wolfe said. "The journey that Frank, Dani (Danielle Colby), and I started back in 2009, like all of life, has come with its highs and lows, blessings and challenges, but it has also been the most rewarding. I will miss Frank, just like all of you, and I pray for the very best and all good things for him on the next part of his journey."

However, Fritz painted a very different picture in an interview with The Sun. "I haven't talked to Mike in two years. He knew my back was messed up, but he didn't call me up and ask how I was doing. That's just how it is," Fritz told the outlet. "The show is tilted towards him 1,000 percent. I can't even bend that far down to show you how much. That's fine. It's like you've got Aerosmith and there's Steven Tyler and he's the frontman. I found my spot, I'm second and he's number one on the show. That's no problem with me, maybe he does have a problem." If the general public is to be believed Wolfe isn't the frontman that he thinks he is.
