Vic Mignogna recently hosted his regularly scheduled, weekly, livestream appearance on the @Unlocked app ( https://twitter.com/UnlockedLive ) .
The livestream was quite heavy, with Mignogna going over the baseless accusations against him and again denying them. He also pointed out the hypocrisy regarding how a number of the people now making claims against him, had no issue pretending to be his friends for years. Even all the way up until a week or so before they leveled their own ridiculous accusations at him.
During the livestream, Vic also discussed how some (unnamed) Funimation employee’s have contacted him in private, admitting their own disgust with the actions of various Funimation voice actors.
“All of these people feigned friendship with me when it benefited them to do so. Let that sink in. I’ll tell you something else, I still have friends at Funimation who contacted me privately to say how disgusted they are with these voice actors, and you know why? Because they personally witnessed with their own eyes all of these voice actors hugging, and smiling, and working together. They witnessed with their own eyes all of these people pretending to be my friends and faking this friendship towards me as recently as a week before the attacks began online.”
Mignogna also mentioned something quite disturbing about Sean Schemmel, Goku’s voice actor in the Funimation dub.
“Everyone of these industry people, everyone one of them, with the exception of Sean Schemmel who has always publicly expressed his hatred for me and he told me himself at the Broly premiere that it was because of my openness about my faith. That he didn’t think I should be sharing my faith with fans. With the exception of Sean Schemmel who has been openly hateful to me, everyone of these industry people have pretended to be my friend as long as I’ve known them. That means Jamie, Monica, Sabat, Kara Edwards, D.C. Douglas, others. They’ve all pretended to be my friends when it benefited them to do so. As for the rest of the vocal haters, they have no connection to this situation at all, except for the lies they’ve chosen to tell.”
If this isn’t disgusting enough, there’s also a 5 minute clip of voice actor Sonny Straight and Sean Schemmel mocking Vic Mignogna. Many people who viewed the clip did not get the impression that this was simply a good natured joke between co-workers. Here are some of the responses left in the comments. The clip itself can be found further below.
Finally, @HowEmbarrassXD uploaded a 0:43 second clip on Twitter showing Monica Rial and Chris Sabat. Sabat making a rather odd joke/implication at Vic.
Think I'm going to have to eventually get around to clipping all the times Sabat takes shot at Vic when he isnt around. Given it never fails any time Vic name gets brought up that there goes Sabat with them petty insult. "Vic Blows Hard" as Monica chuckles. Easily spot the Hatred pic.twitter.com/6V1Rxr8C9C

Spelling error in the title: Acotor –> Actor
It’s disgusting to see how far back this hate goes. I never really liked Sean Schemmel, but if he really did disparage Vic because of his faith, that’s just unforgivable.
Between all the open and secretive hate against Vic, it feels like a conspiracy at this point.
I never liked Schemmel for years now. Even basic digging into his behaviour at conventions and online can show he has some serious mental health issues.
He’s EXTREMELY possessive of his role as THE Goku and I believe I read he was responsible for most of the character personality changes which ruined Dragon Ball’s dub for decades.
Man I hate original English Goku. I AM THE HOPE OF THE UNIVERSE. Yeah okay wannabe Superman. You ain’t the Goku Toriyama wrote all those years ago and such changes are just outright disrespectful to the art.
@Zenkaii Thanks for that, fix’t! The cliquey culture of Funi and companies like RT, etc, does seem rather undeniable with all that’s come out over the last 12 months or so. Which is immature enough but then using it to play the internal politics game, bad talk others, and arguably also plan ways to take out the people they don’t like? What a wonderful group all around…. /s
Just like ISWV parrots… Wheres the proof? This is just old man Vic ranting into the void, who knows if theres any legitimacy in it. There were probably cameras, right? Wheres the video. Bla bla bla.
You dudes are strong in your hypocracy.
@JoeD1234 Proof is right here on this tweeted screenshot, where Sean Schemmel openly admits he hates proselytion, which is the act of attempting to convert, or promote one’s faith.

Thats something he said, yes. But how does that tweet relate to Vic, or anything said between the two? Even if a conversation happened between the two, Id wager it went nothing like the way he frames it. Vic has constantly proven to be an unreliable narrator so who fucking know what really was said. I highly, highly doubt Sean, out of nowhere, just said “I hate you because of your faith, and I dont think think you should be spouting off about it.”
