Rick Harrison made a blunder when speaking about transgender women. He didn’t attack any women directly, but he did help spread panic and misinformation around the hotly debated transgender bathroom bill at that time.
This happened after remarks claiming that the world is too PC and he admitted his fear around losing the show because of his political beliefs.
Corey Gets Healthy
Corey Harrison has lost about 200 lbs in the past few years. He decided to lose all the extra weight after a doctor's appointment when he learned that he might get diabetes if he didn't change his lifestyle. On his ride home from the doctor, he saw a billboard for adjustable gastric band surgery and immediately went to the clinic.
When he was asked if he started eating healthier, Corey responded "when you only have four or fives ounces of space, you don't want to eat junk."
The Show And Its Title
There was another pawnshop that bragged about their name being the exact same. Their rival show received a "cease and desist" letter, telling them to alter their name or face copyright infringement law.
The shop's owner, Frank Bishop eventually did agree to give up their name if the price was suitable. So did they settle out of court or were the charges finally dropped? We may never know.
Rick Thinks Pimps Make The Best Customers
Rick just does not know when to stop talking. This little remark may have been a joke, but yet again, it fell terribly flat. During a podcast interview, Harrison revealed his all-time favorite pawnshop customers: pimps.
He followed up on his statement by openly acknowledging that, by buying jewelry from the pimps, his shop was essentially helping post their bail money.
Chumlee Makes Bad Jokes
Even though Chumlee's assault charges were dropped, you would think Chumlee would be very careful not to make off-color jokes. However, you'd be wrong. He did make such a "joke."
The reality TV star raised his shirt up and boastfully declared himself to be the next Jared from Subway. Given Chumlee's former run-in with assault accusations, this joke was in very, very poor taste.
