The Muppet Show? Did they hurt Animal?
The Muppet Show? Did they hurt Animal?

I’m still trying to figure out what atrocity Dumbo committed. A funny little baby elephant that can fly. What’s wrong with that?
Miss Piggy turned to Oprah to complain about the years of abuse (mental and physical) she and the rest of the Muppets suffered under Kermit’s tyrannical show-running.
“I let on like I’m a strong and independent woman—yes, woman!—but I’m also very vulnerable. Kermit held the purse-strings and Fozzy was his enforcer. *sniff!* They always had me in the most ridiculous costumes, playing the most outrageous roles, and didn’t pay me on a human scale like a star of my calibre commands! *honk!* And our relationship??? A sham! He was always after _moi!_ I, however, _loathed_ that frog. But what could I do? There was only one show for muppets. And it was syndicated! *sob!*”
