Thanks! I'm actually working on a tribute to Bitty, it has a whole bunch of her appearances and interview bits that I've collected over the years. It's taking some time to put together though because I have so much footage to go through. I should have some more Sharona edits coming too (she's my favorite) :)

@@finnagain642 YAY!!! I can't wait for it

Thanks! I just made a new tribute to her. :)

She didn't left. She was fired.

@@restmyloves it was a contract dispute, different than being fired

@@Technilogica2019 no, it wasn't a contact dispute. You guys got it from the network or some false news outlet. Bitty Schram said herself that she was fired.

She is everyone's fav character

YES my grandma loves this show and sharona is her favorite too! she always says she thinks sharona is way funnier than monk 🤣

are you crying there's no crying in baseball

Please expand on that... I didn’t know she wasn’t paid fairly...

She left due to a contract dispute. I believe she demanded that she be paid as much as the other supporting actors. Had she been paid that, she would have never left

@@ratatouille6522 What a shame. I, personally, always thought that the Sharona character was better than the the one that took her place. Natalie I think.

Hey everyone, this is a general reply to everybody wondering about this. I have a bunch of Bitty Schram's interviews on my computer talking about what happened in a lot of detail, so this info comes straight from her. According to 4 different interviews with Bitty Schram: Long story short, the executive producers were recruiting Bitty to do production work that was outside of her occupational role (such as editing the show) after Dean Parisot quit and left them shorthanded, and they never paid her for it. Turned out that what they were having her do was in direct violation against actor regulations, and when she brought it up with them they promised her they'd make sure nobody got in trouble for it, but since the network wouldn't replace Dean they said they really needed her help and begged her to stay on board. Bitty: "I was afraid, because they're really crazy about these rules and regulations. ..He reassured me over and over: No, no, don't worry. You're not going to get in any trouble. .. He begged me to help them." She was doing this additional work for them by their request on her own time without pay, plus working 14-18 hours a day as an actress and for the lowest pay out of the main actors in her original contract. Upper management ended up finding out about it and she was verbally assaulted by them for violating regulations. When she reached out to the executive producer asking "What happened? I thought you said no one would get in trouble?" They were dead silent, washed their hands of it, and left her to the wolves. She said in one interview that she remembered thinking to herself "This is the end of me. I'm screwed here." She also mentioned feeling completely alone. "Nobody had my back. They used me, and then they threw me under the bus when they had to take responsibility." She ended up taking the fall for them. When she asked to be compensated fairly for her unpaid work, to improve her original contract so that she was paid the same as the other two supporting actors on the show (Ted/Stottlemeyer was being paid almost 2x what they were paying her, even though she had equal or more screen time), they fired her. @ratatouille just to clear up the rumors, she wasn't asking to be paid the same as the main star. She was asking to be paid the same as the other supporting actors. Also she didn't leave, she was fired. OP is correct, they didn't pay her fairly, and they also exploited her, deceived her, and betrayed her. Really sad what she went through. :(

@@finnagain642 Amazing... My two cents, she should have definitely been compensated better and treated better. Sadly, I’m not surprised. Hope she is doing well both personally and otherwise... Thanks for the update.
