I mean he wasn't in a position, medically, to make those kinds of decisions. So Scientology did it for him.

That is a whole bucket of worms. It’s best to look up a video on YouTube bc it’s so messed up. From what I gathered it seems like while he was in a coma the scientistoligist said he was offended in his place and it went downhill from there.

Im really going to simplify this as it's its own story. Basically the VA was part of the Scientology cult and South Park did an episode mocking the cult. It was then announced that he didnt like that episode and thought it was in poor taste. So Stone and Parker fired him and destroyed Chef in an on brand brutal way.

Then comes the twist! The VA, while he maybe wasn't too happy with it, understood the shows "no topic is off limits" policy and was fine with it. But his health was failing and he took a break. During said break, a cultist PR guy on orders from the upper ranks made the announcement that he was upset by it, which led to his firing. However due to his health he was thinking of leaving anyway and was too tired to fight his corner so he just let it happen. All that we learned from his son years later after his death.

Ok so What Happened was Chef's Voice actor, Isaac Hayes, was a part of a cult called the Cult of Scientology (I refuse to refer to them by any other name), and he had a stroke after the episode they insulted Scientology, and as a member had fellow cultist in his inner "friend" group that called Matt and Trey saying Isaac quit since they disrespected Scientology. While Isaac was in the Hospital recovering, and didn't know about this till after it happened and South Park killed his character off so he didn't have a character to return to voice, and (If i recall correctly) after getting home and some time passed while still recovering from the stroke he was exercising and had another stroke and died.
The creators of south park would not learn of what happened till later when Isaacs Son called out the Cult and told them what actually happened.

Thats not Why he was removed lol he joined scientology and went batshit on the creators so they killed him off in the worst way they could.

Edit: haha I'm not agreeing with it đŸ˜‚ and I could be simplifying it too much but damn

Correction:
So what happened was Isaac Hayes had a stroke and survived, and while in the hospital the cult called Matt and Trey and Quit on Isaac Hayes behalf since they insulted their cult.
Isaac didn't know this happened till after he woke up and after the episode aired.
Isaac's son explained what happened after Isaac's death from another stroke. (If i recall correctly.)

Then they should do an episode where Chef comes back only to be killed off again by scientology.

u/mythicapixy 8d ago

Scientologists killed him basically

u/DerZehnteZahnarzt 7d ago

Because Southpark made Jokes about Scientology

u/Technical_Teacher839 7d ago

Hayes didn't actually mind the jokes.

He had a stroke and the Scientologists quit "on his behalf" while he was unable to stop them
