"It’s no secret that the rest of the cast wasn’t very close with Dustin toward the end of his life," Gosselaar said on his Zack to the Future Saved by the Bell recap podcast, according to Us Weekly. “The only thing I can say is there’s really nothing that caused that. Some people will speculate that, ‘Oh, well, he wrote a book,’ ‘Oh, he did this,’ ‘Oh, he did that.’ I know for me I would look at that and just go, ‘You know what? That’s Dustin.’ I could see where he would have to do things to make ends meet. (I) never took it personally.”
