Tragic news regarding Frank Fritz of the American Pickers

Frank Fritz from “American Pickers” has faced a series of tragic events that have dramatically altered his life. His relationship with Diann Bankson, which began in 2017 and even led to them buying a farmhouse together, took a dark turn when she accused him of infidelity. Frank, in despair, shared, “I was going to get married, I bought a house and a large expensive ring.” He even got a tattoo that read, “Once a cheater, always a cheater.”

The breakup hit him hard, causing him to turn to alcohol and experience significant weight loss. Frank decided to stop dating and address his drinking problem. Professionally, he left “American Pickers” in March 2020 due to health issues, hoping to return after surgery, though the show’s decision remained uncertain. Meanwhile, Diann Bankson moved on with Eric Longlett.

In July 2022, Frank Fritz suffered a stroke, resulting in the need for guardianship and conservatorship due to difficulties in rehabilitation. A friend took over managing his care, finances, and decision-making. Frank Fritz’s life has been marked by a series of personal and health challenges, leading to unexpected turns in his life.
