VIDEO : Kermit The Frog Drama Continues

Cheryl Henson, daughter of late Muppets creator Jim Henson wrote on Facebook earlier this week that fired Kermit actor Steve Whitmire was never Jim?s choice to take over for him as the beloved character. She wrote ?Steve?s performance of Kermit has strayed far away from my father?s good-hearted, compassionate leader of the Muppets. Steve performed Kermit as a bitter, angry, depressed victim. Worst of all, in the past few years, he had not been funny or fun. Recasting Kermit is long overdue.?
Whitmire wrote in his most recent post that he loves ?Jim as a friend and mentor, while Cheryl loves him as a father. Don?t judge her emotional posts too harshly.?
