Bret Michaels meltdown a hoax: 'Crying' story fabricated?

Bret Michaels' meltdown may have never happened. Thousands of fans read about Bret Michael's supposed meltdown that followed his departure from "Celebrity Apprentice" but now it has been reported that the story was fabricated. On March 5, Gossip Cop reported that Michaels was not uncontrollably crying nor was his having a "meltdown" despite an earlier report.

Michaels was the first person fired by Donald Trump on the new all-star season of "Celebrity Apprentice." He was very driven and motivated on the show and he wanted nothing more but to raise money for his charity. Many were shocked when he was fired making a perfect opportunity for a fake story to come out.

A Bret Michaels meltdown is beyond believable, given the fact that he wanted to be on the show so bad. It was revealed in the boardroom that Michaels basically begged to come back on the show. He really wanted to give it another go, even though he's already won. Well, he didn't win and he didn't raise any more money for his charity... but he didn't have a meltdown either.

"A Michaels insider tells us the rocker took the firing in stride, and his view is 'onward and upward.' And a rep for 'Celebrity Apprentice' [confirmed that] 'No tears were shed,'" Gossip Cop reported.
