\u201cBarney & Friends,\u201d it seems, was not always a happy family behind the scenes.\n <\/p>\n

\n

According to a new docuseries, \u201cI Love You, You Hate Me,\u201d the beloved children’s show, which launched the acting careers of Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, was the target of a lot of hate.\n <\/p>\n

\n

The trailer for the two-part series shows Bob West, a Barney performer, recalling death threats he received as the purple dinosaur.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThey were violent and explicit, death and dismemberment of my family,\u201d he says. \u201cThey were gonna come and find me, and they were going to kill me.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n

The show was created in 1992 by Sheryl Leach, Kathy Parker and Dennis DeShazer.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBarney stands for inclusion, acceptance. You should love everyone, we all have Sheryl Leach to thank for that,\u201d says a line in the trailer, which asks \u201cWhy does the world love to hate?\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI Love You, You Hate Me\u201d is set to premiere Oct. 12 ten Peacocks.\n <\/p>\n
