Yes that is what has happend, I really want to move on from all of this soon, but I know that a lot of fans are still learning about this and are still sad confused, and in a state of shock about all of these things. It's a lot to handle in the span of two weeks.

The second accuser, Cecil Singleton, is suing Clash for $5 million. Singleton, who is now 24, recently told TMZ that he is “happy” that Clash quit.
So, between DLLAL's statement, and Sheldouche's comments on Facebook that his lawsuit is "the stepping stone he's been needing" to boost his own career, almost makes this seem more and more like there was almost a conspiracy to ruin Kevin's career.

I hate these idiots, they don't care about how much they're stealing from millions of people.

Well there has always been a love/hate relationship that people have with Elmo, and I think that may have gotten to a love/hate relationship with Kevin as well.

The whole thing all of it is just wrong... They have taken a man's name and right or wrong have run it through the mud. Kevin had no choice he had to resinge if these things where going to keep comming out.
Here we are as fans saddend by the news of Kevin leaving, and then one of them says that they are gald Kevin is gone....WHAT!
I was on the compasion side of things saying "what if" and things, but now I'm angry!
Kevin has done so much good for the children of the world and to throw his name Sesame and Elmo in the mud is just sick, I mean sick!
What can be done? The damage has already been done, and Kevin is no longer working with Sesame....This makes me sick.

Kevin's resigning is definitely sad news indeed. It's going to be hard enough to hear The Count with a new voice (although I do have complete confidence in Matt), but to hear Elmo with a new voice will be even harder. Anyone else agree?
