Isaac Hayes' Son Said Musician Was Made to Leave South Park Role by Scientology Leaders
UNITED STATES, JUL 19 – Isaac Hayes III states his father was removed from South Park by the Church of Scientology after a stroke left him unable to make decisions, contradicting claims he quit over satire.
- On Friday, July 18, Isaac Hayes III posted on Facebook, claiming his father was forced out of South Park by Scientology after suffering a stroke, not by his own choice.
- In detailing his father’s condition, Hayes III noted that Isaac Hayes suffered a stroke months after the 2005 episode 'Trapped in the Closet' that left him unable to make decisions, and someone within his Scientology circle made the decision to remove him from South Park.
- Addressing offence claims, Hayes III said, `The narrative that he quit because he was offended is not true,' and that the satire matched his father's comedic sensibilities, Hayes III explained.
- Ahead of Wednesday's Season 27 debut, South Park's upcoming episodes will address the controversy over Isaac Hayes' departure, which Hayes III blames on Scientology.
- Looking ahead, Hayes III suggested that, with A.I. technology, Chef himself could come back, reflecting on his legacy beyond health issues.
