Storage Wars’ Star — I Need BIG MONEY or I’m Off the Show!!
“Storage Wars” star Dave Hester — the “YUUUP” guy — tells TMZ he’s ready and willing to walk away from the biggest A&E reality show ever … if the network doesn’t up their “unjust” contract offer. Hester was out in L.A. this weekend … sporting a hat with his signature catchphrase on it … when he told our photog he hasn’t locked up a deal to return to the show next season. The reality star explained, “Right now I’m in negotiations with A&E and I would just hope they would get away from their unjust contract negotiations … the ball is really in their court.”He adds, “I don’t know what their plans are … but I would like to be on the show. Maybe ‘Storage Wars’ without Dave Hester??”And to make matters worse … Hester says he wasn’t even invited to A&E’s Christmas party.A rep for A&E had no comment.
