Top 20 Shocking Power Rangers Scandals 

Top 10 Black/White/Gold Power Rangers!

Love your content 😊😊😊😊

There was a red ranger actor who did a gay sextape, I thought that was gonna be mention but may not since he did so after he finished his role as a power ranger

The blonde you showed in the monica may segment isn't monica may. The brunette who kicked her is.

Watching This Whole Video Is Making Me Twice About Power Rangers And My Childhood. Thank God I Watch Super Sentai.

It's a thankless job, and we blame Haim Saban for that.

Since Tommy has a son, they should have him be in the sequel of once and always and like a rehash of once and always 1, jj Oliver will take the mantle of the green ranger after tommy passed away

@@leonardolim8976 I disagree..jjsr cause your father was a famous actor who went through the mud to get where he us today doesn't mean the children should weight on the same ideals.. besides it better to start your own version of the show than to continue where everyone left off

@@jebVlogs556 I only meant his onscreen son smarty pants

​@@leonardolim8976they did that in the comics where JJ became the SPD Green Ranger after Sky and Bridge were promoted into Dekaranger and SPD Red respectively.

So she's like Brie Larson, before Brie Larson.

@@MiXVoywtf?

Don’t compare AJJ to Bre.

@@MiXVoy don't you ever say that again

@@marlonclark-pp9wg what did he say?

Blame Haim Saban

How is this worse than manslaughter? Enlighten me because I'm not seeing it...???

actors usually never get royalty money whatsoever. what they were asking was literally out of question but i do agree they should been paid better but usually the first roles are always poorly paid. Jim from American Pie just got 10k for the entire first movie and the movie made over 100mio. I personally think the actors were too greedy and ruined the entire Mighty Morphin Series after their leave.

That's why most of them ended up being C/D-Listers, and likely won't have a Walk of Fame Star.

@@saas4517 The low pay because being new has some logic, but the longer the show went, their pay should have increased, rather than stay the same or even decrease. To borrow your example, Jason Biggs only got 10k for the first American Pie, but by American Wedding, he would have been paid in the millions (a dinky little kid's show obviously didn't have this sort of budget, but just take the example and proportionately change it to a more generous pay for the Rangers)

I thought Pua died in his sleep

Rest in peace to both of them 😭

No, he killed himself about 3 years before JDF, he had alot of problems

@@patrickzalatoris3206 There. I must’ve got the actors backwards. 👍🏻

Pua suicide is more than just a suicide like Jason's was. He was fighting several demons and legal issues whereas Jason was about mental health issues.

Agreed.

she's out being a real superhero much respect to her

Definitely.@@marlonclark-pp9wg

@@marlonclark-pp9wg Right? She became part of Lightspeed Rescue, basically haha. I wonder what color she would wear? Considering pink was already taken..

She's a real hero now.

Pua took his own life as he knew he was wrong🤣

As a gay man who grew up in the '90s myself, it was unfortunate to hear about David's resignation due to being harassed.

It's definitely one of the most horrible things to happen.

Yeah it really pissed me off when I learned about his harassment. I'm glad he finally found his footing again and even took up the mantle once more under far better circumstances!

​@@jesserivera2043he didn't resign he litteraly walked off set mid-filming.... Also it was the 90's we were still trying to figure out if being anything other than white and cis was okay

Exactly. Besides, where is the outrage that the original white ranger was played by a white guy?

I heard from Walter (on YT) it's because that actress had asked for a raise after the pilot episode. I don't remember if he said it was because she quit, got fired, or if he even said at all why she was replaced.

Oddly enough, despite only being part of an unaired pilot. she still claims it as part of her acting credits.

​​@@melissamurray8307 tbf most of the cast was white and likely would have been that anyways seeing as at the time it was normal for white ppl to be like the main cast in general and ppl at to make attempts to be diverse than actually just be. Also I didn't think there was outrage lol. I just found it to be a coincidence and kinda funny. If it were on purpose then yeah ppl should be mad cuz that's weird but I didn't think it was and when I thought about it as happenstance it's hilarious.

It's kinda funny to me. No racism intended. No one made a big deal about that kind of issue back then.

And now he's become a transgender woman.

​@@dennistaylor5065 Don't care Deleon deserves cosmic karma.

​@@dennistaylor5065 Don't you fucking dare call him that after what he did. He doesn't deserve it.

One important thing to note is that none of the cast and crew who worked on the show can recall a young Deleon working as an extra. In addition, each and every episode of MMPR has been meticulously picked apart by fans and to this day they still can't even point out what episode or scene Deleon appeared in for this bit part. The whole claim of Deleon's appearance on Power Rangers is taken 100% on the face value of Deleon's word alone. At this point its pretty safe to say either one of two things is true. Either Deleon's scene was so insignificant that it went completely unaired (left on the cutting room floor) or Deleon is full of it and never was on MMPR. I'm leaning to the latter seeing Deleon's other choices in life. Lying just doesn't seem too far of a stretch.

@@josephjones7828interesting theory. Honestly I didn’t know who he was either. I guess when your a fan of the show, sometimes they will notice actors or actresses that did a show as a extra and not realizing what will happen in the future of that actor or actress. DeLeon to be honest with you, I never knew who he was and of course Power Rangers did have tons of extras as minor roles who did the show. And the show did have tons of kids of course as actors or actresses. At first it could have been any one of them being DeLeon since the actor also used another name being credited in the show. But we definitely know that Deleon was Roger the soccer kid who was in the episode Second Chance just because of the way he looked compared to him as a adult. But being he was only in that episode alone, I don’t think anyone would ever have remembered him. There were tons of actors who did one show or episode, it could have been the ninja kid in the karate tournament which Zack aka Walter Jones was helping, it could have been Jason aka Auston St. John, the kid who played his cousin Jeremy, or even it could be been one of the kids from the Zeo episode with the robot clown Puppetman. But people recognize DeLeon because the Roger kid looked exactly like him. But the actors I’m pretty sure there are some extras they may not remember working with. And I guess DeLeon was one of them.

that really happened to her? damn i can't imagine how traumatized she must've been i hope she's doing ok now

I always wondered why the VR Troopers would never go to conventions. Damn

Really hope shuki levy doesn't attend cons. Get that guy banned and arrested like vic mignogna.

​@@HenshinHeroesMediawasn't Vic cleared of charges after the person who accused him admitted that she just did it for her 30 seconds of fame and had never even met him?

​@@aboveaverageazzuen2684correct...however, jackasses rial and marchi (et all) used the Texas anti-SLAPP laws to get his lawsuit/appeal shutdown...

Same with Cassie's actress, being harassed by fans.

Fr, like, I get that Andrew Laing can’t really properly live up to late-great Robert Axelrod’s legacy as the new Lord Zedd, but that’s no reason to harass him for it. This isn’t what Robert Axelrod would’ve wanted.

Agreed.@@doomsday3659

@@doomsday3659Exactly, while it can be disheartening to hear someone else voicing a character from your childhood you shouldn’t take it out on the new actor.

I still liked him as Venjix

It here on RU-vid mighty morphing to super Dino charge on power rangers channel.

I watch PR on RU-vid.

@@robertrogers074 Yeah but I would have to deal with ads. Besides Pluto tv has quite a few of the older seasons.

I know! They used to have every single power rangers series on Netflix. that’s how i found out there were more power rangers

me too

Car crash really isn't a scandal, maybe if you count she wasn't wearing a seat belt

@@renatoism I agree. If that were the case, the list would've included Jason David Frank's death too.

Her death wasn't a "scandal"

@@renatoism No but it was just as tragic as the guy who committed suicide. What happened to him wasn't a "scandal" either.

​@@nerdofgames1608it's a list of power rangers scandals. Any included tragedies were also scandals, not just tragedies.

same

Poverty level pays for playing rangers.

​@@siewheilou399They will always end up as C/D-Listers.

wow

I don’t blame Johnny Yong Bosch

Damn this is like Dark side of the Ring

How did know he was coming back for Overdrive, another newspaper? That whole thing as fucked up as it was was funny. Also, you could tell there was something with Tracy by looking at her face.

I’m so glad someone said it

I always find that stupidly ironic

AND how Power Rangers had guns anyway in some form in every season since 😂

Remember it was the early 90's (which you probably weren't born at the time). I found it dumb at the time because G.I. Joe was a thing and they had guns that shot lasers all the fuckin' time, but no one was touching G.I. Joe, that's asking for death.

Blame Haim Saban

Big wigs will do anything to cut costs, sadly

@@ForrestFox626 Hopefully, that will change following the reboot phases

@@michaelmonthey5974 I'm not looking forward to the reboot

@@ForrestFox626 Fine.

yep

No, you're over thinking it.

Nah, that scene was going to happen as a matter of producing. It had nothing to do with their fued.

@@nerdofgames1608 Feud not fued.

He's not saying they put the scene in there because of their feud. He simply pointing out and I agree, is that the ark those two had in the show from enemies to friends to fighting again in malagoras cave then friends again, it's a perfect mirror to their real life up and down relationship. A mirror to it not the reason the script existed

yep

Also their was an actress from Power Rangers franchise that tragically passed away due to a brain tumor. She served as a mentor figure of sorts.

@@Brook11223 yeah it was the actress who played the white mystic ranger on power rangers mystic force

@@marlonclark-pp9wg Yup that's the one.

​@@Brook11223Peta Rutter to be more specific.

I heard about it in another video. It shocked and saddened me even though I never watched the series. I'd 1st here about JDF on Twitter when my sister showed me the Tweet at work. Broke my heart.

@@jbzhummerh2gamer it’s just crazy to think about things like this. My childhood had a lot of things in it and any power rangers show was in it. It’s just sad to know the truth when you get older.

@@thereallg4587 Yep. And when you really think about it, lots of old nostalgic shows have actors with sad real life back stories.

Honestly the whole thing bothers me to an extent. They all were suppposed to walk off set together.

@@GottaPlayemAll87 I think there’s more to this than what we know

the thing is that they were really enjoying the expierience of acting, and the movie was months away. they truly didnt did the show for money, JDF always looked beyond and knew of the oprtunities and percs of continuing making the show.

@@SeiyadelaLuz And what opportunities and perks did JDF see by sticking with the show? And the bigger question is how did he convince Amy Jo and David to stick around before things didn’t end well for them either? Amy Jo left midway through Season 3 because she finally had enough and David left midway through Zeo amid harassment. JDF even left mid way through Turbo. If you ask me, JDF sorta put his cast mates in a position that was pointless and inadvertently rewarded Haim Saban’s greed.

I think he was just afraid that Saban wouldn’t back down and would just replace all 6 of them.

Why do you think they replaced the actors with robots for Megaforce?

Well if it makes you feel better Ricardo's crime was in self-defense.

It's brand itself that forever tarnished the actors and actresses' careers, forever ended up as C/D-Listers and most likely never have a Star on the Walk of Fame.

​@@MiXVoy Having a Power Rangers role in a portfolio is not something to show off, brag about and certainly not impressive to casting directors. Emma Lahana who played Yellow Ranger in Dino Thunder, had to removed her Power Ranger role from her portfolio due to unable to secure roles in movies and TVs. She has also distanced herself from the franchise because people keep calling her Kira (Yellow Ranger's civillian identity) instead of her real name. Amy Adams nearly join a Power Rangers audition. Her agent stopped her and warned that her career will be ruined if she joined the franchise.

Two actors?

i agree

​@@marlonclark-pp9wg I heard that the actor who portrayed Leo was not interested to appear in Forever Red episode in Wild Force, but he was only convinced by a producer to go back. I guess it has something to do with the Last Galaxy/Time Force crossover

@@jettskie1986 it was due to an onset beef with Saban during the lightspeed rescue lost galaxy crossover because he was pissed at how the lost galaxy cast were getting less screentime than the little girl in the crossover yeah at first he was not very sure about appearing in forever red but by the time he did decided to be in it they were almost finished filming, so he had to be digitally added in the scenes with the other actors but i guess he's back on good terms since he also appeared in legendary battle

Who could blame anyone for that?

Also Christina Masterson got nudes BEFORE being cast as Emma Goodall.

True; actually plenty of female Ranger actresses have done nude stuff, even both Divatox’s. Not condoning it, just pointing out how Monica’s subsequent career ain’t all that unique.

​@@SIMPDUDEThis is why most actresses from Post-Zordon to today, were only for the male gaze. Also, Christina Masterson did have nude pics BEFORE being cast as Emma Goodall.

True and plus these people are allowed to do whatever it is they want it's their life at the end of the day as it's always said their regular people just doing a job and I don't see how it ruins there childhood especially if they were apart of something that was made years ago

​@@robertambroise5619Most of them will forever be C/D-Listers, and they're likely never had a Star on the Walk of Fame.

It's a thankless job. Once they played their roles in one season, they didn't bother of ever coming back for seasonal crossovers.

I don't blame them

Homophobic.

The man behind the torment and torture on David was Scott Page-Pagter. I think he should have been fired for those actions.

Maybe because pay was the oldest controversy?

Unless Bryan Cranston did something horrific, I think he's one actor you might want to meet one day (he did voice acting work for a few monsters from what I can remember).

A shame what some actors had to go through

That pissed me off when they did that. I always love Lord Zedd being menacing who reminded me of the Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Darth Vader from Star Wars but it pissed me off when they made him more comical relief to please over concerned parents. I was so happy when they made him menacing again when he returned in the last three seasons of Power Rangers, Dino and Cosmic Fury.

yep

After Valerie Vernon was diagnosed with leukemia and left the show to go under chemotherapy resulting in her character being killed off. Saban continued crediting her to help pay for her treatment and she returned for the finale for her character to be brought back to life.

How do you know she did it ?

ok

Except they're rebooting the series what I heard. Cosmic Fury was the last season. After 30 years Hasbro, the new owners of Power Rangers decided they want to reboot the series. I think the franchise needs a fresh start anyways in my opinion since they have been doing almost the same thing for 30 years. I would love them to adopt the storylines from the Boom! Studios comics for the reboot series. While I've enjoyed all 30 seasons since the beginning, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to the end, Power Rangers Cosmic Fury and I will always love JDF aka Tommy my favorite Power Ranger above all plus Jason, Billy, Kimberly, Kat, TJ, Cassie, Ashley, Andros, Leo, Maya, Karone, Wes, Jen, Kira, Gia and Amelia even my favorite villains Lord Zedd, Tommy the Evil Green Ranger (under Rita's influence)/Lord Drakkon, Astronema, the Psycho Rangers, Trakeena, Ransik, Mesogog and Venjix/Evox.

​@@thestartreker.officialI don't trust them with a reboot

@@ForrestFox626hasbro has made countless transformers reboots and they’re either go well or not

I had a crush on Astronema/Karone at one point.

Well I did mention this fact earlier on here actually but FYI, Cerina Vincent wasn’t the ONLY actress who was naked in films. Hilary Shepard Turner who played Divatox from Turbo, Sasha Williams who played Kelsey from Lightspeed Rescue and I believe Anna Hutchinson who played Lily from Jungle Fury, ALSO did nude scenes in movies as well as Cerina Vincent too. And to be honest with you, I didn’t get WHY Monica May was mocked horribly because of burlesque. She even said she was broke when she did it no less. I don’t get why those actresses weren’t mocked but Monica was. So what that they did nude scenes and burlesque shows. They are adults right? Everyone eventually gets naked in life. And people saying it ruined their childhood is just ridiculous and dumb. Also it was just one movie I know Cerina was naked in which was Not Another Teen Movie which she was completely naked throughout the WHOLE film playing a exchange student named Aerola. And Cerina at the time said she was a nudist in real life so she was very open minded and comfortable with her body. Cmon if you watch Lost Galaxy she was definitely wearing a very revealing outfit throughout the show. Plus many may not remember this but Chris Evans was ALSO in that movie too. Aka the actor who played Captain America in the Marvel universe. And nobody judged him either. Besides that movie was a flop anyway. It seems silly that fans said it ruined their childhood just because an actress was naked in a film. I’ve been a HUGE fan of Power Rangers since I was 10 years old when it came out in 1993 and watched EVERY single series and not ONCE was ever affected in my childhood over a actress doing nudity. Cmon the violence matters are more affecting than that. Or the fact we lost JDF due to suicide. Nudity isn’t as horribly affecting as violence or death. Cmon Ricardo Medina’s crime was VERY more damaging than that, or David Yost’s being called quoted a “faggot” and harassed by people because he was gay. I think Monica’s situation was just utterly disgusting and ridiculous. So what if they did nude films or burlesque shows? It’s not like murder or suicide or abusive behavior. Those issues are FAR worse than nudity.

The franchise itself is a crappiest way to start your acting career, both James Napier and Emma Lahana had experienced it, they've lost interest and removed those roles from their resume.

This has me thinking of the bond girl curse

I don't know, Amy Jo Johnson had a pretty good TV career as she was in two other hit shows after Power Rangers, Archie Kao also got a pretty steady career in TV as well after Power Rangers, and of course Johnny Young Bosch has had a great career in anime.

​@@TV247And as time passes, they are most likely not interested in the brand anymore, and want to remove their roles from their resume.

@@MiXVoy Guess it depends on them, cause a good portion of them are proud to have been Power Rangers, hell yes some have indeed distanced themselves but have eventually warmed up to the franchise again.

It's PR's toxic fandom. From simps, incels and homos. They thought that PR's color spectrum was relatable to the pride flag.

Well to me what was messed up about the gun scenario was parents thought it was clearly not right for children to watch heroes with gun blasters BUT however, if parents REALLY did have a problem with the gun blasters, then WHY didn’t they have a problem with the Black Ranger literally using a Power Ax AS a cannon gun, aka the main essential to the Power Blaster from Season 1 ALSO. Which was significantly bigger than the Blade Blasters no less. That wasn’t even the only thing parents were outraged about no less too. They ALSO complained about Lord Zedd’s gruesome look which parents thought he was too hideous so they decided to bring Rita Repulsa back by marrying Lord Zedd which kind of toned his character down dramatically. Finally it’s more messed up that even though parents had a outrage about the guns but didn’t have the outrage over swords, cannons, daggers, lances and crossbows and after what happened with Ricardo Medina Jr., it’s astonishing the parents weren’t affected by weapon violence at all since most of the Power Rangers literally used a sword no less. Other series like Space or Lost Galaxy literally used swords as weapons or Lightspeed Rescue or Time Force using weapons that clearly look like cannons and parents weren’t outraged by them and all those series were prior to Wild Force which technically didn’t use either of them but making a combined weapon AS a sword and a Ranger using a move involving a pool 🎱 table no less. I think parents just relax. I grew up watching Power Rangers AS a kid when I was 10, in 1993, and my parents NEVER was affected by it let alone also Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which came out prior to Power Rangers no less and I was a huge fan of both of them as a kid and many people didn’t realize how gruesome TMNT was in comics compared to the cartoon series. My parents never had a problem with me watching either of them growing up and both of the shows had weapons and violence no less. They even bought toys for me growing up because they knew I was a fan of both of them. Just some people need to chill out about it. Plain and simple.

I heard that he killed his roommate out of self defense

@@MiggyRules Are you seriously comparing swords, cannons, daggers, lances, and crossbows to guns? Some weapons are not easy to get a hold of. What parent is worried about their kid using a cannon because they saw it on TV? It's hilarious you are using the "weapons and violence didn't affect me" as if everyone sees TV the same way. It's ironic you accuse parents of complaining too much when you're doing the same leaving long comments on this video about a kids show.

@@JeyneHanna first of I've been watching the show since I was 10 when it came out in 93 ok. Second I'm not complaining about it I just think it's ridiculous is all. If you don't like my comment, then don't comment yourself.

@@MiggyRules Calling it ridiculous is still complaining. Your comments are filled with what you don't like.

I know what you mean. She was the first power ranger I had a crush on. 🥰

FACTS

​@@MiXVoy Unlike their original counterpart, Super Sentai. Hell, Super Sentai is a gateway for young and new actors who are trying to enter the acting industry in Japan and also well-respected unlike Power Rangers where the franchise got little respect from Hollywood.

I read that the red ranger walk away from the argument but guy force himself in the room where the red ranger and his gf were at

@@Aurelius_Aurora yeah. def an arguement for self defense and probably why, correct me if mistaken, he got manslaughter, which is akin to accidently killing someone in a car crash, instead of murder charges.

Monica may caused scandal bc of her burlesque career is like Jamie Lynn spear causing scandal on Zoey 101,just bc she's pregnant

I'd figure some would like her more adult work

@@ForrestFox626 there are some actress that went from kids show to risque. Remember Miley Cyrus? She didn't get backlash just bc her wrecking ball risque tainted the Hannah Montana fans

To be fair it was Miley Cyrus ok she did her thing and grew up...Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez did it too ​@@leonardolim8976

And once he heard ZyuRanger as "JewRanger", he went hog wild and looked at what he did.

No, I knew that from the orignal show (you could see that the yellow ranger didn't have a skirt, like the pink ranger did). While I was way too young (8yo) to care about that when I first watched it, I still thought it was weird.

I think he also said in an interview that he wanted it to be easy for people to identify him and being the Black Ranger as a Black person helped avoid the confusion in the early days. Dude was just thinking of everyone like a god damn hero!

Yeah, apparently low pay for the actors is another aspect of the original Sentai that was adapted in Power Rangers

And in Super MegaForce, the two actors were a transphobe (Andrew Grey) and a trans ally (Cameron Jebo). The war against prejudice still goes on in PR. This is why Diversity, Wokeness and Inclusivity were always double-edged swords.

And Christina Masterson got nude pics, BEFORE being cast as Emma Goodall. A reminder that most PR actresses from the Post-Zordon were only for the male gaze.

I never saw wild force fully except 4 episodes including forever red. I just finally saw the whole thing and even though Cole did what he did in real i was watching the character not the actor.
