Sept. 25 2009, Published 5:27 a.m. ET
The cast of the hit show Saved By The Bell are starting to weigh in on former cast member Dustin Diamond’s claims about sex drugs and rock ‘n’ roll on the set.
Ed Alonzo, who played Max, proprietor of the local restaurant hangout ‘The Max’ tells RadarOnline.com, “I never saw anything like this. Yes, the kids dated early on but nothing more than just kids dating.

“Dustin is way off the mark with this book. I had a great time working on the Bell and miss the cast. I do keep in touch with some of them, but not Dustin.”

It seems Ed isn’t the only one to not stay in contact with Diamond, he has been pretty much ostracized by the cast and crew alike. In fact, the cast reportedly asked he be left out of a recent People Magazine cover and other reunion-related festivities, due to being uncomfortable with their one-time colleague over his post-show antics, which have included: a "leaked" porn movie where the former child actor raves of his fondness for "poop" and multiple publicity stunts to raise money for his foreclosed-upon home.

His latest stunt, a tell all book called Behind The Bell is sure to just alienate former cast mates even further as he spills on marijuana smoking, on-set sex and steroid abuse.
