That he is claiming, but it definitely appears that he's insinuating that the reason he was let go was because they were worried about his willingness to tow the party line and not be critical of those who run the show (meaning ksl/bonneville/the Church)
More so, I personally wonder if KSL management just frankly didn't like him and didn't want to deal with working with him especially if he is giving off a"do you know who I am" vibe
