Ned Fulmer Tries Cheating! Try Guys Scandal

[@britnicox3929]

What is really sad to me is that Ariel has talked about the fact that she felt insecure about being older than Ned, and then he cheated on someone younger than both of them. It really made it worse in that respect IMO

[@wearelegion1163]

She's like a year older. She's "insecure" because deep down she knows her husband is a creeper.

Everyone is chalking it up as Alex just being an employee. She had met ned as an intern at buzzfeed and became their producer. She was one of the FIRST PEOPLE employed at the try guys new company after splitting from buzzfeed. Not only did she write Keiths most popular show (eating the menu), she REGULARLY APPEARS AS A PERSONALITY on the try guys channel. People can say as much as they want about Ned being in a position of power but she was as high up in the company as you can get without being one of them. She's a adult 28 year old engaged woman who should also know better than to cheat with/homewreck/be home wrecked by a married man, with one child and at the time Ariel's ENTIRE second pregnancy. They JUST had their second baby not so long ago.

I feel like maybe so got so high up now was because she was sleeping with Ned.

[@SPDcru]

The most shocking thing to me, as someone who stopped watching the TryGuys at some point (no reason), was just how much Ned and his wife Ariel were capitalizing on their marriage and relationship... They had a joint, relationship-inspired cookbook, went around to colleges giving lectures on relationships, and produced clip montages of their wholesome relationship... Like the audacity to cheat in the open with an employee while obviously all spouses and fiancés and friends know each other AND having a brand built on your loving relationship on top of it all is beyond baffling to me..

[@ChrisCherchant]

Wholesomeness is money these days

[@katievarnum]

They had shows even on the Try Guys channel. Then Alex was in all kinds of videos too. Including one where Keith, Ned and Zach compete to see who will be YB, Alex and Maggie’s maid of honor and had to pick out bridesmaid dresses to wear. All the while they are f*cking each other like trash people.

[@rachaeladeline]

I didn't even know they did all that together.... That makes this situation feel even worse 😩

[@tainanking]

maybe this was all planned.... and then it backfired on them lol. Scandals in America a lot of the time make some famous and enables them to enter other avenues. Just look at Paris hilton and Kim k

[@cheerfulsatanist]

I always thought honestly the Ariel seemed kind of uptight and high strung like a perfectionist, but now looking at it through this lens I feel like what we were actually seeing was her genuine unease probably from a combination of her feeling insecure about her age in the relationship, the fact that he was so famous as far as internet celebrities go, the fact that I imagine it very much felt like she was less a wife and more a prop for his persona the same with their kids, and ultimately probably some degree of subconscious awareness that he was stepping out on her... I can't begin to imagine what she was going through on nights when he didn't come home while she was pregnant, from either of their children or from the miscarriage. Statistically speaking there's no way that this has been going on for 10 years that he didn't spend nights in and around their miscarriage with Alex instead of with his wife, which is beyond disgusting, I'd actually argue that leaving her alone in that scenario was borderline abusive. And you're not talking about it, we've mentioned how gross this is for him to do as a father as well, but arguably he was giving a lot of his time to alex, in a way he was cheating on his children just as much as his wife with just time spent away from them unnecessarily alone. I guess the only upside to all of this is even if he does manage to convince his kids now because they're so young and innocent that he's really still a good guy who made a mistake, eventually they'll be able to see all the videos of the way he used his wife as a prop for his dick, when he was being unfaithful the entire time with a smile on his face and "I love my wife on his lips"

[@erinsmith1111]

I'm so proud of Eugene, Keith, and Zack for holding Ned accountable and not just giving him a free-pass, I hope they also hold the girl accountable. I'm so sad for Ariel and his kids.

[@revinaque1342]

I honestly wonder if this is the final straw... Like maybe they've given him free passes in the past, and this time they decided that enough is enough

[@katrose5179]

They didn’t hold him accountable for cheating. They held him accountable for cheating with an employee, violating hr rules and opening the company up to a lawsuit from her if she wanted to. She didn’t sleep with one of her employees. “Holding her accountable” would be wrongful termination.

[@margheritat9570]

Honestly cheating is not illegal, you wouldn't get fired from your job for cheating on your spouse. What's prompted them dissociating from him was the fact that he opened up their job to a minefield of problems, from a lawsuit from her for sexual arassment to sponsors pulling out because they wouldn't wanna be associated with the mess.

Why should anyone get fired for cheating? Honestly sometimes I don't get america

[@katrose5179]

@@franciscasilva8406 for cheating? He wasn’t. However, he’s not a normal employee. One, he’s part of the face of the brand and he marketed himself off of his marriage. It can hurt the company with sponsorships and such. So that comes into play. That said, it probably wasn’t why he was fired. The fact is he slept with an employee as a founder and CEO. He opened the company up to lawsuits That’s the part of their statement about the internal review. It’s an HR nightmare. Alex is different. The only thing that could get her fired is if they had hr rules and code of conduct about not sleeping with your boss. Some companies do. It’s not really the cheating that is getting anyone fired. It’s who the cheating happened with.

[@Lady_Coral]

Alex deserves just as much criticism as Ned. While she doesn’t have kids, she still cheated on her fiancé. She caused just as much pain as Ned did and she deserves all the criticism she gets. My mother cheated on my father but no one sees her at fault due to her being a woman. People who I’ve talked to about this always just assume it wasn’t her fault, it was my dads fault, it was her boyfriends fault, when in reality she chose to have an affair and abandon her family. It’s very frustrating to see people always blame the husband when his girlfriend is just as much in the wrong. But that’s just my take on it.

[@buttons256]

I think it’s just that nobody knows who she is so nobody cares, Ned is very well known even by people who don’t follow try guys. Like if I found out a random person I’ve never met or heard of in my life cheated I obviously wouldn’t care 😂 and that’s the case with her I don’t have a clue who she is so I couldn’t care less what she does

It baffles every thought I have every time I hear/see a person cheat on their partner.

I have also seen videos of some people claiming that Ned gets "sloppy" when drunk at bars/clubs, and does try to hook up with other women (Although these allegations have yet to be proven). I just hope Ariel and their children are okay. This is a rough situation to be in for all members involved. Try guys included.

[@destineeryan6773]

For real. I'd never condone cheating and he's a POS for doing so, but like dude...if he was going to cheat no matter what, at least don't shit where you eat! He has to go because this could be legal trouble for them (plus I hope they're mad asf for Ariel), but if this hadn't been a subordinate and it was just someone random, at least him, his wife and friends could've worked this out amongst themselves and kept it private so they didn't have the whole internet on their backs during such a trying time. Ariel and the kids are getting support, but it still must be hurtful that it's so publicized. She probably can't go online to distract herself without coming across all this stuff rn, and the kids will see all of this content someday. :( And he wouldn't have blown up their whole company and brand if it was someone outside of the company, either, he could've resigned or something from it instead of having to be fired and it'd have been easier for Ariel to stay and continue her passions without him if she wanted. He couldn't even screw up his own personal life in a way that wouldn't drag the company and his friends down. Just sad and disappointing all the way around on so many levels. I feel so sorry for everyone around Ned & Alex right now. They can't fire her without risking legal trouble but I hope Alex resigns so she isn't rubbing salt in the wound by insisting on staying where she's gonna be hated and further drag the company down.

[@annadominique1217]

My theory was that Keith and Becky told Ariel about his cheating with Alex. Hence, why only Will was the one who seems really shocked. Or at least he seems like he had a hunch but just needs evidence to prove it. Keith liking a tweet about how sorry the people were for Ariel kinda proves it. They probably know but can't talk about it openly yet since loads of partnership, deals and offers are on the edge if this comes out and Ned is still with them. Also, the video about the bridesmaid is really disgusting. Imagine, talking about your employee's wedding while also knowing you're cheating with her is 🤮

Will knew and had told Ned to back off, which obviously didnt happen. Who knows if he knew it was an affair or if he thought it was close to being one.

Luckily his whole “I luv my wife” schtick was never entertaining to me and I’ve always wanted Kwesi in the group; but I feel awful for Ariel, Alex’s fiancé, and he numerous fans who got joy out of Ned’s and Alex’s respective relationships before the cheating was revealed

I've felt like a douche for thinking that this is their chance to replace boring ass, cheating ass Ned with Kwesi, but for real, please replace that rotten man with Kwesi.

I feel this way about the whole world not just the internet 😭

Because you keep putting people on pedestals

@@chrispbacon5313 lmao there’s a difference between putting someone on a pedestal, and expecting them to act like a decent human being

The best part is Ariel is staying with the company! All the guys still follow her, the house they film in is her old house, and she has tons of series she's in.

[@minxiemiau]

is she? she’s staying with Ned and Ned has been let go

[@cherrybombrose3532]

@@minxiemiau we don’t know she is. Divorce, especially with children, takes a lot of time

[@Silverwolfpriestess]

They used to film in the Fulmers' old house, but moved to a bigger office a while back. As for whether Ariel is going to keep appearing in the videos, that's still up in the air. What is certain is that she's trying to work it out with Ned (I'm guessing for the kids' sake).

[@CJMGalaxy]

They have an actual office and studio in Burbank now... which Ariel designed.

[@revinaque1342]

@@minxiemiau Even though Ned was let go, they can still keep Ariel on, even though she stayed married to Ned. She did nothing wrong, and it's unfair for her to lose a major source of income just because her husband cheated. Plus, they all like her! Divorcing with kids is a long, complicated, and difficult process. I'm sure they know her side and her reasons to stay (for the time being, anyway)

[@silverdoe9477]

I understand if Ariel would want to work through it & stay in the marriage, but she deserves so much more. She’s amazing & talented, doesn’t need any of this. They will always share the parental roles but that’s about it.

Thanks for covering this ken. I know that the try guys are a very popular video channel but it's still funny when I go to try to talk to them to people I know in real life they don't know who they are. And I've been wanting to talk about this since last Wednesday when they released a statement.

[@MidnightLazarus420]

Thank you Mary for filling Ken in on the youtube tea!!!!

[@leademi1387]

Ariel was the interior designer of the 2nd try productions’ new office, and she was part of the try spouse podcast. She has been encouraging of his career and on camera with him even when he was at buzzfeed. This is a slap in the face to her. And the poor, innocent kids will have to deal with this as they grow up because once something is on the internet it doesn’t go away.

[@leighannaperrin1534]

The Keith-spiracy here at the end is my favorite part of all of it and I WILL do my best to spread this 😂

[@kasvaldez2955]

While there was a power dynamic with Ned and Alex's relationship, those two were having an affair for nearly a year while they spoke about their partners and families in such loving manners. It breaks my heart. We can focus on Ned and Alex but my heart goes out to everyone affected from this. Especially Ariel and her kids, along with the rest of the Try Guy's who were hurt by this news.

[@mksdiva]

Kieth is honestly my favorite and 100% support how funny and great it would be if he was a mastermind behind everything lol

[@_letstartariot]

‘Try Guys try cheating’ is so damn good of a title. You sold me.

[@death8614]

Ken saying fall guys instead of try guys😂😂😂😂

[@lilybollan4413]

This actually helped me look at this in a more positive light so thank you :) I've been a Try Guys fan for awhile and they have never been controversial so this stuff definitely came as a shock.

[@emilyarnold8978]

It was so weird, last month I was in New York City and I saw him with a young woman. They were being quite friendly. I had a weird feeling that something was happening but I didn’t think much of it. I hope the best for Ariel the kids and the woman’s fiancé.

[@davidrobert3971]

Imagine if the lie detector guy had asked if he was cheating lol
