'The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story' Negatively Portrays Actors(VIDEO)

Lifetime's version of "Save by the Bell" is sure to ruin your childhood memories.

The network released a clip from "Unauthorized Saved By the Bell Story" - a movie going behind-the-scenes and exposing what really happened off-camera between co-stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffany-Amber Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley, Dustin Diamond and Mario Lopez.

Based on the footage released by Lifetime, fans favorite Bayside High teens hated each other.

The video showed off the tension between the co-stars including the girls fighting over Gosselaar, who played Zack Morris, and Lopez's trying to impress his co-stars by going push-ups. During a promotional photoshoot, the actors are seen bickering and fighting.

The movie stars Dylan Everett as Gosselaar, Sam Kindseth as Diamond, Julian Works as Lopez, Alyssa Lynch as Thiessen, Tiera Skovbye as Berkley and Taylor Russell McKenzie as Lark Voorhies.

The film is reportedly based on Diamond's 2009 tell-all book "Behind the Bell" - where the actor, who played Samuel 'Screech' Powers on the show, revealed that his co-stars did drugs in their dressing rooms and would hook up off-camera.

The real Gosselaar sat down with HuffPost Live Wednesday and revealed that the original cast members are not involved in the movie. Gosselaar called Diamond's book negative and said it was written from the actor's own perspective.

""Everything that I've heard about his book is negative and I don't remember those things," said Gosselaar. "My experience on the show was very positive and that's why when people say, 'Oh, you don't like talking about it.' It's like, 'No, I don't mind talking about it, I just don't really remember that time,' and also everything I do remember was extremely positive."

"Save by the Bell" became a cultural hit, running from 1989 to 1993.

"The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story" airs on Monday Sept. 1 at 9 p.m. on Lifetime.
