Mark Diamond, the father of late “Saved by the Bell” actor Dustin Diamond, denies allegations that he stole his son’s money. The claims are addressed in an episode of “Hollywood Demons,” in which Diamond reacts to accusations he says “really made me upset.” Mark Diamond pushes back on the allegation, asking why he is being blamed and describing the situation as upsetting.

Dustin Diamond, who is the subject of the disputed financial claims, died in 2021. The Independent and the New York Post both report that his father responds publicly to the accusations, framing his remarks as a denial rather than an admission. Neither outlet indicates that a court finding has been reached over the allegation, and the reports focus on Diamond’s response to the accusations rather than on new supporting evidence. The story centers on conflicting claims about the late actor’s finances and the father’s rebuttal following the actor’s death.
