Anh's Brush with Fame may not return for seventh season.
The future of the popular ABC interview series, hosted by Anh Do, is in doubt with the artist and comedian 'refusing to sign on for another series,' reports TV Blackbox.
The news comes after Do, 44, was forced to respond to claims his paintings on the show are prepared ahead of filming and in some cases are not entirely his own work.

The industry website's sources claim 'social media backlash' to Do's 'process and finished artworks' is one of the reasons he wants to walk away.
The ABC said in statement that the seventh season of Anh's Brush with Fame had not yet been locked in.
Earlier this month, Do clarified he does paint the celebrity portraits seen on his critically acclaimed interview series.
Responding to questions from The Sydney Morning Herald, he confirmed: 'It's all my own work.'

He went on to reveal he prepares 'studies' ahead of the interview, which are created from photos of his subjects.
Those studies may be used for the final work when he's having an 'off day' and doesn't complete a work he is happy with
