In a seismic shock to their millions of fans, Ned Fulmer, a core member of the wildly popular YouTube collective The Try Guys, has been ousted after confessing to a workplace affair. The internet personality broke his silence on the scandal that has dominated online discourse, issuing a heartfelt and apologetic statement.
The controversy erupted when rumours of Fulmer's infidelity began circulating online, leading to his immediate removal from the group's videos and business operations. The Try Guys company confirmed the situation, stating they were 'deeply hurt' by the actions of their former friend and colleague.
A Personal Apology and a Plea for Privacy
Fulmer's statement, released exclusively to DailyMail.com, expressed profound regret. "I am so sorry for any pain my actions have caused," he wrote, addressing the fallout from his decisions. The father-of-two acknowledged the specific damage done, stating, "The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and my children, and that's where I am focusing my attention."
Central to his message was his wife, Ariel Fulmer, a beloved figure in the Try Guys universe. In a move that surprised many, Ned confirmed that Ariel is standing by him during this tumultuous period. "Ariel and I are focusing on our family and doing our best to heal from this together," he revealed, painting a picture of a couple fighting to save their marriage.
The Fallout: A Digital Empire Reacts
The response from The Try Guys was swift and decisive. The remaining members – Keith Habersberger, Eugene Yang, and Zach Kornfeld – released a joint video titled 'what happened' to address their audience directly. Their demeanour was sombre, expressing shock and disappointment while emphasising their commitment to their company's values and their fans.
Fulmer's departure marks a significant turning point for the brand, which built its identity on wholesome friendship and adventurous comedy. The group has assured viewers that Fulmer will be edited out of upcoming content that was filmed prior to the scandal breaking, a mammoth task underscoring the seriousness of the breach.
As the digital world processes this stunning revelation, the focus now shifts to the Fulmer family's private journey towards reconciliation and the future of the Try Guys without one of its founding members.
