The 28-year-old actor released a videotaped statement to TMZ on Nov. 18, accepting the decision, but he wasn’t so gracious about it.

“I wish nothing but the best,” he said, before adding, “I think it would disappoint many fans, but it’s all for the greater good. Everything is great on my side. I’m comfortable, I’m happy, I’m blessed.”
But then, his attitude shifts, and he starts going after his former co-star.
“I’m sure the fans are going to rip into Raven’s *ss. I think that she did it as a conscientious [sic] business decision, I think maybe she’s far off into another land mentally to where she made a decision she felt was better for her, and that was great. I love her still.”
Then, Orlando took aim at his replacement, YouTube star Alonzo Lerone. “I’m sure he’s a good guy too. I’m sure his family and everyone need that dough,” he said.
