Fox News
The cast and crew behind "Barney & Friends" on PBS share some of the death threats and backlash they received in a new podcast.
"There were certain things, certain messages that people would send that were pretty threatening," Bob West, the original voice of "Barney" said in the series' third episode. "If you get a death threat from a middle school child who sends you an email, then it doesn't make me feel bad for me. It makes me feel bad for them." "I said, 'Well, it's the Klan and I can't change their opinion.'"
He noted it happened a few times "because my email address got leaked."
