Auctioneers Dan and Laura Dotson were cut out of the most recent season, which just finished filming, and cast member Darrell Sheets was also "frozen out" of about six extra episodes that weren't covered in his contract, according to Radar. A source also told Radar that Storage Wars is looking for "cheaper talent" to replace Sheets and the Dotsons
A&E has denied the report. "Not every cast member appears in every episode of the series, but there is no truth to the report that any other members have been dropped," a network rep told TVGuide.com.

Hester's lawsuit is still pending.
