Did Luke Grimes Exit "True Blood" Because Of Upcoming Gay Storyline???

Posted on 8:27 PM by jackline

This is interesting.

If you all tuned in to the season premiere of "True Blood" this past Sunday, you'd have noticed that a different actor is now playing the role of James (it's now actor Nathan Parsons).

Nathan has officially taken over for Luke Grimes, who exited the series.

Well, we may have discovered exactly WHY Luke left.

According to Buzzfeed (and HBO), Luke exited the series due to knowledge that his character would be heading into a same-sex relationship with the character of Lafayette (played by Nelson Ellis). Luke reportedly objected to the first few scripts he read, and informed the producers that he would ONLY continue on if the story played out that Lafayette was attracted to James, but it wasn't reciprocated. He also reportedly refused to partake in any same-sex kissing and sex scenes.

While HBO is standing by their story, Luke's rep has fired back saying Luke wasn't even privy to that far in advance of stories, and that it was a simple scheduling conflict. He also stated that Luke had an out clause in his contract.

What do you guys make of this?

This doesn't portray Luke in the most positive light, but I have to wonder WHY HBO felt it was necessary to release so much information? They couldn't have just said a difference of opinion or something?

Thoughts??
