Zac’s and Keith’s partners had completely funny and normal reactions but Ned and Ariel’s encounter was soooo unnatural. I’m sorry for Ariel and her family. I feel bad for the guys and the staff at the channel because it was a massive betrayal by Ned being the family man of the channel to do something like that with a fellow channel employee.

I think something a lot of people are missing in this situation is a bit alarming. 1) They didn’t kick him out because he cheated, but because he was sleeping with an employee aka his subordinate. That opens the company to major lawsuits 2) He was edited out of videos because they cannot profit from his likeness since they probably had to buy him out of his contract. (That also includes dumping all his merch, ads and other things) 3) This looks scripted because it is. Saying anything negative about someone can be considered defamation and is a suable offense. They have to be very careful how they speak. 4) They had to make a video talking about it because it was blowing up so aggressively online and people wanted answers. 5) With the amount of lawyers, internal investigations, loss of funding from merch, paying editors overtime to re-edit videos that were shot months in advance, the man nearly bankrupted their small company 2nd Try LLC. A friend of multiple years betraying your trust from a business standpoint and putting his fellow CEO’s and 20+ employee staff’s livelihoods in danger, might warrant an end to a friendship or at least a business partner. This isn’t to say he is the scum of the Earth, but he literally flung them into a bunch of bullshit that affected all of their careers and projects.

Lawyer here. "You'd think he killed someone." No, you wouldn't. A production company issued a press statement that one of the four owners was ousted for doing something that 1. Injures the reputation of the company, and 2. Exposes the company to liability. That's not even remotely adjacent to the scope of consequences that result from killing someone. "He was just having an affair." He was doing that. He wasn't just doing that. He was having a sexual relationship with a subordinate. That exposes the company to liability, as the employee can claim it was not consensual. "Seems consensual." Great, glad you've come to that conclusion. It's a question of fact in court and therefore has to be determined. It exposes the company to risk. They are also, again, a production company. They're a business. What do you think they're selling? It's themselves. They're the product. The talent. The brand. You know what their brand was? Being wholesome. You know what his brand was, specifically? Being the family guy. If you spoil your brand and your value-add is your brand, you've spoiled you. And they split profits. From a practical standpoint, he was an owner. His wife also worked there in a certain capacity. Are those two and the employee supposed to continue to work there? They can't fire the employee. That exposes them to wrongful termination liability. That's ignoring the pure numbers of it, with sponsorships, their TV show, and on and on. Every single way you look at it, it is juat common sense to remove him from the company. This is not some wildly disproportionate response to what happened. This pretty much exactly checks out given the exposure. And that makes sense. Because they're a business. And they have lawyers and other advisors. You can have an opinion that cheating on your spouse isn't a big deal. You can even have the increasingly bizarre-to-justify opinion that cheating on your wife, who works at your company with all of your friends, with one of your friends and employees, for a long period of time, while your entire brand you've built to propel your career forward is based on your love for your wife, is not that bad. Sure. But this was just a sensible turn of events. Some of you will lose your minds when you find out what happens when someone kills someone. It's remarkably more severe than this.

They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding.

@@alyssaleedy no… there doesn’t seem to be an intention to mend, and rightfully so. *They* literally said the words that they’re losing a friend. 3:21

[@MegCazalet]

@UC8jtaT9cJslxoErUyXNsTXw If you want to be friends with someone who would hurt their spouse like that, that’s your business, but it’s not weird to lose trust and not want to be friends with someone when they do something like that. Especially if you’re also friends with the person they betrayed. And honestly, in this case, Ned betrayed them all, just in different ways. Ned is really the one who ended all these relationships, by his decision to lie, cheat, and hurt people who trusted and relied on him.

[@crystalmeier6579]

I'm so behind in technology. Just got a smart phone from flip phone and found these guys videos. I love them! Now, seeing this video, I respect them for handling this like real human beings. I'm so sorry for all of you. You've all been hurt friendship, trust, your careers and finances. You are more than ever my favorite team!

[@octolevi]

this is the most responsible i’ve seen a youtube / internet company handle a “scandal”, props to everyone involved and im sure with the same professionalism you’re handling this, your company will move forward in success.

[@lbpdluis]

as someone that doesnt follow trends, i have no idea what happened and this video does nothing to explain the backstory of what actually happened

[@MeowlaMittens]

@@lbpdluis that’s because this video is directed towards the fans who already know what’s happening. Also they described what happened briefly in the beginning. They can’t go into a lot of details about the case cause 1) there’s an open investigation and 2) they are all still barely processing the BS that former member Ned put them thru. Why don’t you try educating yourself with a quick Google search before getting mildly annoyed that the people going through these issues firsthand aren’t spoon feeding every detail to you.

Why? All the mostly did was complain about the cost to the brand. Wasn't a morals thing.

It made me really sad honestly. You can tell how hard this has affected them. I feel so bad for Ariel and the kids

[@santiagonunez6294]

Yea Eugene almost cried reading that teleprompter. Who knows maybe the teleprompters told the actor to look mad/sad.

[@mitchie3010]

I was never a huge fan of the try guys when they first started but recently came across a video of theirs and just wanted to say that you guys earned major respect and a subscriber just for how real and raw this video was. You all handled it maturely and made it clear what your label will not stand for I commend you for that👏🏼

[@Sharki_V]

I'm so sorry that this happened, I can feel and see the pain in your eyes and voices. I have been here since the beginning and I'm not going anywhere. Love you guys

[@cuteXpiggee]

right!! I know they're all upset, but there's something about Eugene's anger that just makes it more palpable than the other

[@ambercontreras1110]

@@OhLooksTasty he looks LIVID. Besides the obvious and blatant disrespect for his wife and family above all else, they are suffering personally and professionally as well. Just such a slap in face to everyone involved here.

[@lolborq]

@@cuteXpiggee i don't doubt that it's genuine, but it's easier to tell his anger because you can see the tension in his jaw. he's holding back emotions which causes his face to tense up.

[@angie82468]

Eugene’s body language really radiates how stressful and angry they are not only being betrayed as cofounders but also as best friends. Thank you for putting in ethics and modesty into this situation and I hope everything flows to your priorities as you guys are victims yourselves. We love you

Look at how livid Eugene is. He's barely holding in his rage. People love you three!!

[@mewgiah8057]

Eugene is so livid, he's allowing Alex to keep her job and telling fans to not be hard on her. Except Alex was a willing participant and equal parts scumbag as Ned. She gets to keep her job but Ned doesn't. Makes sense. Eugene is a moron.

I appreciate that you filmed this in one take without a bunch of jump cuts. Feels authentic. I look forward to the new era.

I was also thinking about that impressive long take the entire time and hoping it was the only take they had to endure. 🥺

[@alexwyatt2911]

I’m not just respectful and appreciative of the single take, I’m downright impressed. They took this seriously. They’re fully committed. I’m angry on the behalf of the Try Guys and their staff. I hope they soon find peace and continued success.

[@jo_magpie]

"feel", this was not their first take

[@CandyWorld30]

While I do think they are upset by what happened, I do think they are reading off of a prewritten script on a teleprompter in this video, I do understand it though since they want to say all the right things but to me that makes it look not as genuine even though it probably mostly is
