'American Pickers': Frank Fritz And Mike Wolfe Feud

American Pickers fans have been met with plenty of drama in recent days. But the latest bombshell in the saga came this week when Frank Fritz bashed co-star Mike Wolfe in a new interview.

Frank is now exiting American Pickers after having been absent from the series since early 2020. Click through the gallery here for a breakdown of Frank and Mike's feud and more on why Frank's leaving after 22 seasons.

For the fans, sad news came this week when it was confirmed that star Frank Fritz won't return to American Pickers. And there's drama behind the exit. First, Frank shared that he's been away from the series due to health problems that required back surgery.

But he also revealed that he and Mike actually haven't spoken in two years. "[Mike] 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," Frank told The Sun. But that's not all...

Frank fired a few more shots in his new interview. He stated, "The show is tilted towards [Mike] 1,000 percent." And while Frank said "that's fine," he added, "I'm second and he's number one on the show. That's no problem with me. Maybe he does have a problem."

And not only is Frank leaving American Pickers, but also he has a suspicion of who will replace him...

Frank believes his American Pickers replacement will be: Mike's brother. Robbie Wolfe has appeared on previous American Pickers episodes, and Frank said Mike "wants" his brother on the show instead of him.

Frank added, "I don't know why he's behaving like that towards me." A show source told TMZ that Robbie isn't joining the show, however. Mike then broke his silence after his longtime co-star made these revealing comments...

Despite Frank's unflattering remarks, Mike still responded with kind words about his co-star and the exit. "I have known Frank for as long as I can remember, he's been like a brother to me," Wolfe said in a statement to People.

He continued, "The journey that Frank, Dani, 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."

In any case, that appears to be the end of the line for Frank Fritz on American Pickers. He'd co-hosted the popular History Channel series for 22 seasons dating back to 2010. Season 23 is airing now with Mike hosting solo.

Frank's exit also follows the surprising news that Mike and his longtime wife Jodi are divorcing...

In July, news broke that Mike Wolfe and his wife Jodi have been sorting out their divorce since the summer of 2020. And, just days after, reports came out that Wolfe is in a new relationship with journalist and former model Leticia Cline.

In the meantime, it appears American Pickers will go on — without Frank Fritz — and with Mike moving on to a new stage in his life.
