You keep saying that, but you have no clue about the details of the situation.

Maybe the reason why they didn't want to finish with the spinoff show is that Discovery wanted them to do something that they didn't want to (maybe something they thought was over the line with the memory of Phil?).

The settlement could very well have been Discovery relenting on that one point.

While it is certainly possible that something like that could be true... one would think the brothers would be getting that story out there to get the public on their side. This article looks like the same info I read the first time, even though it is a different source (don't remember where I read it the first time):

LINK

quote:

"The Hillstrand Defendants determined that they would reverse course, dishonor their promises, and refuse to render the services necessary to complete 'Hillstranded,'" reads the complaint.

At the end of August, Discovery allegedly called the brothers to confirm a date, time and location for them to sit for interviews. The complaint says the only response was an e-mail from a lawyer for the brothers informing producers that they shouldn't attempt any further contact with them.


Furthermore:

quote:

The Hillstrand brothers couldn't be reached for comment.





Sounds like all that was left was interviews. And again, I think if Discorvery was doing something distasteful, the brothers would be telling everyone they came in contact with. Lastly, when has Discovery been known for doing seedy stuff like that? I thought they handled the Phil death well and the Billy Mays death.
