Joey's "firing" from TNG
A persistent rumor that has endured throughout the years claims that Pat Mastroianni (Joey Jeremiah) stole props from the set of Degrassi: The Next Generation and was subsequently fired. Another version of this story adds that the props were subsequently sold by Pat on eBay.

Mastroianni has been selling or auctioning Degrassi memorabilia since the late 1990s. In April 2000, he raised $1,000 in such an auction to raise money for his friend with multiple sclerosis, with some of the items also donated by co-creator Linda Schuyler.
