THE TRY GUYS INVESTIGATE NED FULMER (details revealed)

[@adiegrass1616]

Zach shouldn’t have unlisted a video without permission but it seemed like he cared way more about Ariel then Ned did and that makes me sad.

[@violetadlt2729]

that doesnt make me sad

[@Misspellednumbers]

It's hard to grasp what side Keith is in on that clip. He makes a good point, always ask permission. Though, he also says "it looks to me like everyone hates Ariel. I've barely seen anything about Maggie, and the fact that you're taking it down is totally unacceptable." I know this isn't about Keith, but it's just so hard to listen. Seemingly only Zach cared about Ariel in this clip. Everyone else just found it unacceptable because "it wasn't Maggie" and "Ariel was taking the brunt of the hate." Ugh, someone tell me I'm wrong, because that clip sounded so wrong.

[@loopymomy2532]

@@Misspellednumbers Wait I'm confused

[@MariaWums18]

@@Misspellednumbers To me it sounded like Zach wanted the video down because to him every negative comment was about Maggie. To Keith and Ned it was mainly Ariel and less Maggie than Zach was trying to make it seem. But it is fucked up that Ned knew it was mostly hate towards Ariel and he was more upset that his work was taken off than his wife feelings.

[@mbexo]

anyone know which video it was?

[@alexandraottoson2308]

I honestly am stuck on the fact that Ned wanted the video put back up where Ariel was getting the most hate while Zack is honestly looking out for her more than her own husband!?! And yes I realized that he should’ve talked to the guys first cause it’s a company decision but at least he’s looking out for his people more than anything, and I can always respect that.

[@SpillSesh]

I never watched their doc and when I saw someone post the clip I was like damn not him literally not caring about her at all ☠️☠️ like yeah be upset he unlisted it without saying anything but you could be like hey thanks for looking out for MY wife ?? Like what

He took it down because Maggie his fiancé was getting hate not so much Ariel. Keith was telling his that Ariel was the one getting the bulk of the hate not Maggie. Either way if that were true Ned should have reacted like Zach or at least disabled the comments himself

@@snehamathew7654 Whoever did the episode did something stupid and leaned on the angle of "Maggie doesn't like Zach's childish things around the house because they are childish" (with some added "humour" about Ariel also stopping Ned from displaying childish things around the house) for the whole episode, so fans got upset at the idea that Zach was being "forced" to give up things he liked to fit Maggie's more "adult" aesthetic. Some fans got really upset and bashed Maggie (and sometimes Ariel) in the comments.

I think it's fairly obvious that none of the try guys are exactly who they present themselves as publicly. It's more like a perfected characature of themselves, and that's okay. With Ned, however, he's clearly chosen to present himself as the opposite of who he is. It's not a persona that can be faked forever, and sometimes I wonder if he went out publicly with Alex because a part of him couldn't do it anymore. Ned might not be a Try Guy anymore, but I think he should Try Therapy. I hope he does, for everyone's sake.

I’m not even gonna lie, Ned was my second favourite TG after Eugene, so this was wild to me. But seeing all this footage showing the problematic stuff he’s said or done makes me hate that I didn’t see red flags sooner. I’m glad Kelsey pointed out that there isn’t such a thing as a consensual workplace relationship when there’s a power dynamic. It’d be one thing if like… Eugene and Zack were together (in a world where they’re both single) because they’re equal partners, but Alex works (worked) for them. He should’ve been the boss and stopped it before it started; this can 100% get you fired in a traditional job as well. Part of me wishes they could just release the pre-filmed stuff with a disclaimer that it *is* pre-filmed, but the other part understands why they absolutely wouldn’t want to have him on the channel period anymore. Ned’s choice effected so many people, so I don’t feel bad that he’s getting public criticism for it.

The segment about Zach removing the video because of Ariel is absolutely false.

So if he saw how much hate was being put in their loved ones and did the right thing, then that says a lot about Zach. Correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t they re-edit the video?

I think people don’t fully understand how much time an internal investigation legally takes. They probably did know a lot longer than 1 month but that doesn’t make them awful people for not acting sooner. Because Ned owns part of the company they had to find out legally how to fire him. If this was an employee under them firing them is much easier on the spot. When it’s a co owner it’s much harder. Also revealing it to Ariel is a difficult thing to do. To tell someone who you care about mental health and love that their husband father of their children of 10+ years is cheating on you heavily is not easy to say.

It hurt for a bit. But life is EASIER. I hope she knows that on the other side of all of this is more peace and joy than she could ever imagine. Your kids will be okay, they are so resilient. You will be okay, because you are also resilient. If she does stay, I'd respect her decision... But I wouldn't ever be able to shake the feeling that she and her kids deserve better.

My heart goes out to Ariel and the kids!

[@CrzyGood2004]

I’m know this is going to be an unpopular point to make, but if you watch that video again, Eugene doesn’t make a Valentine for his SO either, he makes them for his babies, and no one is upset about that. Not defending Ned in any way, ‘cause cheaters are the worst, but it’s easy to “notice” these kinds things when you’re actively looking for them, and ignore the same thing in others. This isn’t a shot at you, just related to your comment ☺️

@@CrzyGood2004 I did notice but Eugene isn’t all about his SO, however, he is all about his dogs “babies”! So him making something for his “babies”’is in character for him.

Ned’s always given me that short creepy Uncle who hits on his nieces kinda vibe.

As a founding member of the company I’m curious if there were documents signed detailing how to handle a falling out. Did they have a morality clause that would kick in? Does Ned still have part ownership? Will they buy him out? The financial stuff really interests me

[@inuala9453]

I can imagine, that there is a contract like that, when it comes to a falling out. I can imagine, that since they were four owners of the company, each had 25% (just a theory!). I can imagine that they would buy Ned's portion out and spilt that into three to keep the balance. But who knows? I'm sure they have very good lawyers who gave them advice on that.

[@danielle2661]

This is what interests me most, too. Business partnerships, especially successful ones, aren't that easy to dissolve. My guess is they've been working with lawyers since they all found out in early September and I have no doubt Mr. Yale has his own separate attorney to guarantee he gets every penny of his 25%. Legally he's entitled to it. They can't just fire him with a 2 month severance package like any other corporate job. I wouldn't be surprised if this is ongoing as well. While the Try Guys have publicly said he is no longer working with them, it wouldn't surprise me if severing those business ties is taking much longer. It's easy (relatively) to cut him out of videos. Much harder to fire an owner with a 25% (in theroy) stake.

[@charlesbronson2926]

@@danielle2661 There's no way it's as clear cut as 25% each. since they started in buzzfeed, they definitely had some deal with someone in leadership there, since generally that would make the IP the property of buzzfeed since they were employed by them at the time of creation.

[@danielle2661]

@@charlesbronson2926 that's why I put "in theory." I edited my comment probably as you were writing yours. Of course it's not clear cut and I know Buzzfeed has an "interest" in the Try Guys and whether that's also an ownership stake or just an investment we will never know. These are just theories. But my overall point stands. It's much harder to fire an owner of a company rather than just an employee. Whether that's the case here or not, you nor I know. We are all just speculating. Would it surprise me if he owned some percentage? No. Would it surprise me if it were less than 25%? No. Nothing would surprise me. I would be shocked if Buzzfeed let them leave and take the name without a heavy price. Buzzfeed might own 50% of the try guys and they split the other 50. Who knows! We're all just guessing here. Still hard to untangle an owner, even a minority owner, from their business.

thank you for adding new details to the conversation! a lot of the videos i’ve been seeing have just been recapping and that’s it.

[@TheCreatorsAttorney]

This is a great video and as a ex-Buzzfeed lawyer, I just posted a legal reaction video as to what Alex can potentially do because she could have potential claims against the Try Guys. And as the guys said, they are actively talking to their lawyers, as I predicted. My heart breaks for Ariel, as a mom of two young kids myself. For shame Ned.

[@khanhvinguyennn_]

it's easy to remove Ned out of the Try team but if the guys even try to fire Alex because she was "cheating on her fiancé" then she can sue the company. it's a two-way knife and it can destroy the whole branding of Try Guys (ofcourse, unless Alex decides to leave for the guys' sake)

[@kiripedia]

I think if they fire her it’s for sleeping with her boss rather than cheating

[@languageresources2314]

Incorrect. Quid pro quo sexual behavior in the workplace is indeed a fireable offense. She was not only doing it with her boss, but also Nedward was acting as head of HR, so yeah, she can, and needs to, get canned immediately.

[@ananyageorge9962]

Judging by how social and close everyone at Second Try is, she will probably leave on her own accord. I'd imagine the sheer humiliation of having to walk back into the office - where they're editing her & Ned out of videos - would be too much.
