As has been popularized on social media, Ned Fulmer was officially removed from the Try Guys team last week for having a relationship with one of the team’s producers, Alexandria Herring. The Try Guys had made an Instagram post stating this information, but nothing more had been heard from the company since then. That was, until October 3rd (this past Monday).
The Try Guys posted a 5-minute-long video to their social media explaining their side of the story. The now 3 men claimed that they had no clue about Fulmer’s infidelity and that they went right to work to sort out legally what they were and weren’t able to do in order to right the wrongs that had been done on Fulmer’s behalf. They “refused to sweep things under the rug,” and explained the step-by-step process they took on making the transition of removing Ned Fulmer from their videos and brand name as smooth as they could with the least amount of damage done. Overall, it seemed to be a reiteration of what they had posted on their Instagram, only much more expanded upon.
But the Try Guys promised a new episode of their podcast, the TryPods, to air on October 6th, and they did not fail to deliver. The episode only hosted 2 of the Try Guys, Zach Kornfeld, and Keith Habersberger, and they explained how they felt about the whole situation rather than what they did to handle it. Both confided in the hurt and betrayal they all felt while discovering the news about Fulmer, and how hard it was to keep everything under wraps while trying to process their grief. After the internet had discovered what Fulmer had done, they both said that they felt immense amounts of stress and were just tired of the whole thing. They finished off the podcast by saying that this will likely be the last of the Try Guys comments on letting Fulmer go from their company and that they are ready to move on to new things with their brand.
The Try Guys said they will continue to try things, just as they had started out their company doing, and are going to pursue projects that each of the remaining owners wanted to try doing on their own time.
