Drama At The Zoo!

Filed under: Australiastic

77920177.jpg

The Crocodile Hunter's father, Bob Irwin, has resigned from the zoo he helped to build over 36 years ago!

Why'd he quit????

There's been major dramz with Steve Irwin's widow, Terri!

Rumours of an Irwin family feud have been circulating since January and volunteers and a disgruntled employee have recently claimed staff were upset that Poppa Bob had been banned from the Australia Zoo after an argument with Terri.

The elder Irwin was reportedly upset with Terri Irwin over treatment of staff, management of Wildlife Warriors and the commercial direction of the world-famous attraction.

Bob has vowed to keep his son's dream alive at a new property he has bought near Kingaroy, northwest of Brisbane.

In his resignation letter, Poppa Irwin thanks zoo staff, Animal Hospital workers, Wildlife Warriors and "all Steve's friends out there", but makes no reference to Terri or her contribution to his son's conservation empire or to the raising of his grandchildren, Bindi and Bob.

Terri Irwin has refused to comment on Bob's departure.

Sucks they couldn't all get along!

    If this is true Terri should be ashamed of herself! Bob and Lynn were the ones who started that Zoo and past it onto Steve. She should have more respect for Bob than to ban him from the zoo he started!!

    I think the only thing that's gonna come out of this is people will stop visiting the zoo. I think people are more inclined to support Bob than Terri.

    I only live an hour away from the zoo and I love it there. If this is actually true they will have lost me a customer.

    Between you and me, I can't STAND this woman. She comes through so fake to me. Her marked, "cute" speech, her stories about how Steve adored her. I am thinking Steve liked to flirt with girls his age. How old is this woman, anyway? About 64? I don't like her at all.

    I don't like the way Steve's little girl Bindi is being pushed into showbiz. And when she's on talk shows, and performing songs with backup dancers, and selling dolls in her image–that's showbiz, and aiming for celebrity.

    It's not healthy for a child. Bindi may SAY she likes it, because kids that age say what they think their parents want to hear. Let the girl stay at home, live a normal life. If she likes to perform, let her do little shows for kids at the zoo. What her mom's doing with her now is very destructive and not in her daughter's best interests. It's sick.

    Stop getting your stories from other media Perez.
    The magazine made the whole thing up.

    113

    Whether or not this is true, Terri is is a stupid bitch. This money hungry yank already started spinning the media into a frenzy right after Steve died. Didn't she do an interview just two weeks after he had died? Her little ugly monster of a child has not even had time to grieve and does not even seem to care that her daddy died. Sick! Also, Terri you whore: your daughter is dog ugly and people only tolerate her because she is seen as cute by some (the blind) . Once she grows up she will just be a ugly bitch like you and nobody will give a shit. So please, just fuck off. We doon't want to see your ugly mug.

    Bindi Irwin is one creepy looking kid..I hope she gets prettier when she gets older..

  19. Borat's nut sack says – reply to this


    119

    the whole bindi thing is a tragedy in the making. i've seen the kid in interviews, and she has an air of self importance that will likely turn to arrogance and a sense of entitlement in the near future. her childhood has ended, and one only needs to look at the olsen twins to see what child celebrity leads to.
    if this mother truly cared for her daughter, she'd pull her out of the world spotlight and quietly educate her in australia. instead, she pushes the kid forward.
    it's a shame, because terri irwin before steve irwin's death seemed like a kind lady.

    You all that say ugly things about an innocent child should stop and think. Would you want your daughter to read this after your death? Shame on you.

  33. alana says – reply to this


    133

    This is rubbish.
    Bob cannot resign from the Zoo as he does not work there and has not since he and his wife handed the zoo over to Steve and Terri in the early 90's.
    This is some media mag trying to stir up trouble where there is none!

    This completely breaks my heart. Steve would be sooo upset if he he were alive to see such conflict between his wife and his only living parent, both of whom he adored. One of the two of them needs to give in and resolve this dispute for the sake of 1) the kids 2)Steve and 3)his legacy. And please stop saying negative things about Terri. Her heart was shattered when Steve died and her smiley happy face is a mask for the pain. Bindi has been taught to do the same. Isn't that obvious? Are they supposed to walk around crying or looking depressed while out in public a year and half after his death? Let them move on and try to be happy while still keeping his spirit alive. As for Bindi, maybe she's been working a bit too much lately, but she's doing so because that's what she saw her father do all his life - he lived for his work and for the animals! I imagine it makes her feel closer to her dad. Terri just needs to keep everything in check and make sure the kids stay kids, while still doing what they love. Miss u Steve-o :)

  35. Miss Mezza says – reply to this


    135

    Yeah at Steve's funeral i was impressed with young Bindi's self-possession, but i quickly became disturbed by how public they were with their 'grief'. Besides which, what mother would cash in and have her daughter made as a doll? Who the hell would wanna buy it, anyway?? Now i just wish Terri and the kids would shut the **** up and @#@# off. Poor Poppa Irwin, must be sad for him.

    138

    That's too bad. Steve must be turning in his grave knowing that his Dad has left the zoo. I often wondered if Terri's "strong personality" would cause stress with in the family and well it appears that just may be the case. Terri, please don't be so controlling, after all that zoo was the vision of Steve and his Dad you are lucky to be a part of it!!!

    LOL! I was hoping that we didnt hear again how 'lucky' Bindi Irwin is. If you didnt see the clip, she was on the Rachel Ray show bragging how lucky she is .. it was pretty much every other word out of her mouth.

  41. Lynn says – reply to this


    141

    Hurray up and grow up and take over the family biz, Bindi, before your mom drives it into the ground! Terri has all the charisma of a wet dish cloth, sorry, the wet dish cloth has more. Steve made that whole empire run and without him, unless Bindi has something to offer, it's done man!!!

  42. Choonty says – reply to this


    142

    Bindi Irwin's mom is creepy! Therefore, making Bindo waayyyy creepy too!
    I dont think Steve would agree with the things she has done. Bindi doesn't even act like a real kid, she's so animated! Save that kid from her crazy mom!

    151

    Yes, I knew long ago that Terri was a royal cunt. I knew it from the time she appeared with Steve on TV and proclaimed that she and Steve were different in that "she was the good-looking one". What an asshole. Steve's dad is the sweetest, gentlest man in the world. Only a super bitch like Terri could have a falling out with him. She will single-handedly ruin Steve's legacy. (Like Mom always said, "you have the watch the bitches with no tits and fat ankles.")

    Bindi is one CREEPY kid! She is so artificial in her delivery in every enterview I have seen with her and she seems like a wind up Chatty Kathy doll. Everything is forced and it is sooo uncomfortable to watch.
    Terri has no personality at all and is a complete DUD when it comes to any kind of appearance. Could someone please get that chick to a hairdresser and get rid of the 1970's hippy, commune girl haircut???
    Also, does anyone else find it incredibly creepy that Bindi's backup dancers are fully grown adult MEN?? Everytime I see her with them it looks like a bunch of child molesters behind her. Why aren't there any age appropriate dancers with her, like young teens????
    Unfortunately, without Steve there is no natural personality left in that family and Terri is turning Bindi into a pathetic laughing stock.

    "The elder Irwin was reportedly upset with Terri Irwin over treatment of staff, management of Wildlife Warriors and the commercial direction of the world-famous attraction."

    Not to mention the way she pimps out her daughter and is so negligent that her four year old son gets bitten by a boa constrictor. I thought this woman was a freak from the time I saw her do an interview after her husband's death. She was totally faking the tears. Completely creepy.

    156

    I am sick sick sick of these people!!! Bindi is very annoying, the hemoroid that will not go away, and Terri is super bitch for sure!!! I always knew that her former husband, (idiotic as he was) would get it in the end by some wild animal. BTW, Binid is no talent, and very annoying on stage!! Someone needs to give her a valium for sure to calm her down!!

    These Irwin folks are a few fries short of a happy meal!! I got words for them:PSYCHO THERAPY!!!! BTW, Hilton, you rock!!!! LOVE your webpage!

    Bindi had to have a tutor teach her at home because she cried uncontrollably when they sent her to "normal" school. That isn't the right way to handle that situation. Make that kid adjust to the new environment and don't pander to their whining. Bad parently 101. Also, Bindi wants to sing and dance but she has no talent in those areas. She does seem extremely phony and artificial and there is something not quite right there with her and her mom, Terri. They just don't seem real. Steve was the only real one of the bunch.

    Elder Irwin needs to wake up - it's always been about money, even when Steve was alive. He was a showman and a businessman first, and a conservationist a distant second.

    Interesting that he didn't have the guts to stand up for staff and the way they were being treated (all shunted onto crappy AWAs) when Steve was alive - Steve instigated it, and it's the reason he was so vocal in his support for John Howard. Business first.

    On another note, I realise it's not a nice thing to say, but…Bindi really is the ugliest kid I've ever seen. Still, it's not bitchy if it's true.
