Teen Titans Go! Actor Greg Cipes Claims Warner Bros. Firing Over Parkinson's Diagnosis

Greg Cipes, the longtime voice of Beast Boy on Teen Titans Go!, has publicly claimed that Warner Bros. Animation fired him shortly after he disclosed his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, alleging discrimination linked to his health condition. However, several reports and sources contradict this narrative, stating that while the role of Beast Boy has been recast due to creative differences, Cipes has not been fired from Teen Titans Go! entirely and has been offered a development deal for a new character in the show’s upcoming season. Despite Cipes’ assertion that he was dismissed on Valentine’s Day, he posted gratitude toward Warner Bros. months later and completed voice recordings for season 10, muddying the timeline and details of his departure. Additionally, some speculate that his firing, if it occurred, might relate to his controversial social media posts rather than solely his diagnosis. The situation has sparked considerable debate about potential discrimination against actors with disabilities and the legality of such actions. Warner Bros. has not confirmed that Parkinson’s disease was the reason for any termination, emphasizing creative differences and ongoing collaboration with Cipes in different capacities.
