Dustin Diamond Faces Headaches, Too

Aside from his health scare, he previously went through hard times after directing his 2006 sex tape titled, "Screeched: Saved By The Smell."

"You know, I definitely got some money off of it but it wasn't worth what the fallout was. I mean people to this day, they look down on me,' he said during his interview on "Where Are They Now?" special.
