TMZ’s sources for “American Pickers” say Frank’s exit has nothing to with his and Mike Wolfe’s fallout, though his interview with The Sun makes it sound like he clearly thinks it does since he says returning to the show after not speaking to Mike for so long would be “hard.” And if the fallout is to blame, then Danielle Colby is choosing Wolfe.

In an Instagram post just days after the Frank interview that informed the world of this feud, Danielle spoke her feelings about Frank’s exit. She says she’s proud of how the two conducted the show over the past 12 years, and she’s “truly saddened for the loss of Frank on the show.” She’s also “sad” for Frank’s struggles, but she says this in a way that could be ambiguously interpreted, as she follows it up by mentioning she has “many thoughts” she won’t speak. Of course, she then speaks on the kinds of thoughts you think she’s talking about in the previous line, saying Frank had caused himself a lot of pain and “we” must be responsible “for our actions when we cause instability or pain and suffering to others.” There’s probably a hint in there if you look hard enough.

Colby also believes her words are being twisted by tabloids, so she says she wants to say exactly what she means. “I hope everybody gets well. I hope everybody continues to love each other even through the hard s***,” she wrote.
