Why did Corey miller leave la ink?

Answer 1

"Hey everyone, thanx for your support. I've been biting my tongue for awhile now until these last few episodes have aired. I'm not much for drama but I do need to address a few things.

In the first episode of this season when I quit, that was real and unscripted. I just couldn't stand all the drama and lying going on. When I first started this show 3+ years ago, I made the commitment to be true and honest with everything I said and did. so, when Kat said to me 'that its hard to be honest with you in front of the cameras', that blew me away... what had we been doing for all this time?? and then she insinuated that i would try to hurt her on the camera. that was the last confirmation i needed that it was indeed time to leave. I had just spent 3 yrs being loyal and committed to her as a boss and as a friend. if kat would of acknowledged or taken any responsibility for why i wanted to leave, things might have been different.

recently i have heard her in interviews stating that me leaving was produced and that I Never Really worked at her shop, only when the camera's were there. while this is true, what she neglected to say was that those camera's were there for 8 months out of a year, 5 days a week. and i might add, i was there the longest of anybody, coming in at 11 and not walking out that door til 9 or 10 at night...her statements make me realize that she never appreciated my commitment to her shop, her show, and most importantly, to her as a friend. Aside from the time I spent away from my FAMILY.

All she should have said was the truth, That I left because of all the drama. She shouldn't lie about me, I don't think she would like it if I told people the truth about her.

Kat is very talented and has been very successful. I do not understand why she chooses to play the VICTIM over and over and over again..

With that being said, I'm Anxious to see how things go over at American Electric. I gotta admit, I had a lot of fun filming with Craig. He is a great guy and very funny too... At the end of the day, we are all just tattoo artists, who are lucky enough to have our art shown & appreciated on television.....so, i hope you enjoy the rest of the season. there should be some good tattoos put out, and of course the inevitable drama that is 'reality' tv... thanx again" ~corey miller's facebook page

Corey Miller left the show L.A. Ink because he needed to go back and run his own parlor called Six Feet Under. He is expected to have his own reality show in the future.
