The fact that he has kids makes this so much worse, as someone who grew up in a home with a cheater It absolutely affects your ability to build healthy relationships.
Same here. I have severe trust issues due to my mother constantly cheating on my father. Makes me not trust anyone and it makes me have doubts in my own relationship, which is unfair to my partner. People don’t realize how much cheating in a marriage destroys people. It ruins families forever. It creates permanent issues within the people who once trusted you
I divorced a cheater last year. Can confirm its hard to do anything at all after that. You can't un-crush your soul. Its like crumpling a piece of paper-- no matter how much you flatten it out, it's never going to be the way it was before. I'm forever damaged.
THANK YOU. idk why so many people in the recent comments are like “you people are just perfect angels aren’t you, most people cheat in their relationships blah blah blah feminism blah” don’t cheat. the end. wtf is so difficult to understand about that. humans are such awful creatures
It hurts knowing that his wife (soon to be ex seeing as she took out wife from her social media platforms) literally stated that one of her insecurities is the fact that she is older than ned, and he cheats on her with a girl much younger than her. She must be hurting in so many ways and I truly wish her the best.
I’m a little annoyed that I haven’t seen anyone else catch on to this. The “may” stuck out to me like a sore thumb. Additionally, the “consensual workplace relationship” was _cheating on my wife with one of my company subordinates._ Not only is he trying to deflect blame, but he’s also trying to hide the fact that he’s abused his power with one of his underlings by pursuing a sexual relationship.
@@Eric42RandomVideos maybe something like “I made a mistake and I’m sorry for all the pain I caused, especially to the people within my family I have directly affected”. He probably is sorry tbh, but it’s just choosing the word “may” and saying “whatever I may have caused” is like saying “I’m sorry you feel that way”. It’s a poor word choice when trying to take accountability and rrly makes it seem like you’re _not_ actually all that sorry yknow
The fact that Ned claimed that he cheated because he "lost focus" just makes it sound worse. It's like saying that he has to be focused all the time to resist cheating on his wife. Which, in retrospect, is probably the reason why he mentioned her all the time in the first place. Yikes.
It's the fact that he was "obsessed" with his wife, he wrote a cook book with her, uploaded DIY content with her, enmeshed her in his brand with the Try Guys as one of the Try Wives, and the You Can Sit With Us podcast. He threw away his family, his friendship with the other three guys, his brand deals, his show with The Food Network, all of it. Gone. For what? I hope it was worth it. Also, for those asking "why fire him", he slept with an employee. That's most definitely a fireable offense.
Alex the woman he cheated with didn't get fired apparently and she's just as guilty. She slept with an employee and also had a partner that will be just as heart broken. Goes both ways but I think they should both be kicked out. Just disgusting
@@velocityfpv5231 I don't even think the firing is about the cheating but more about Ned screwing up the company image. If Ned stays all their videos would get mass downvoted. The women doesn't have as much clout so not many people care about her cheating even though she was engaged and had been with her now ex for over 10 years. Who knows how long they have been going behind their partners back. Pretty sad all around.
Eh I'm betting Ned will be back once the divorce is over. They just need to help Neddy pay less Alimony to Ariel during the divorce. Why would only Ned be fired and not the cheating woman?
Not only did Ned cheat on his wife, but the woman that he cheated on Ariel with had been in a relationship for 10.5 YEARS. She basically threw 10.5 years down the drain for Ned, so honestly my heart goes out to her (hopefully) ex-fiancé and to Ariel for having to deal with POS who can't be faithful.
As Charlie said it was a big mess. The Try Guys are a mess. The food babies are done. And 2 10 year relationships are done. A marriage with 2 kids is in disarray. An engagement is definitely called off. Sad.
@@emilyloewen37 That's so much worse. She knew that he had kids too. Obviously Ned is the bad guy, but she isn't so innocent either. Imagine growing up and learning how your dad is internet famous for cheating on your mom. So sad
He apologizes to *the guys* first, which baffles me. He was married to Ariel, not them (or the fans)! I think that shows how much he prioritized the woman he loved oh so much. Maybe how much he respects women in general.
SERIOUSLY. If this was even an issue or concern AT ALL, it should be worth discussing with your S.O. Maybe experiment or spice things up in your relationship to keep it fresh. So much of that attention was diverted into the videos they did for the company and none of it for the relationship. -
@@AarenYASS The amount of times cheating, which is basically all times, can be avoided is just by communicating with their partner. It's such a shame so many couples struggle with it.
Probably cuz she wasn’t putting out because she was pregnant and therefore caused him to have his needs met somewhere else. But if that was the case then they should’ve had open lines of communication about needs being met. He literally chose the most detrimental option
it's honestly sickening he did this, 10 years marriage, two kids, and a scene of perfect family, and alex had been with her boyfriend for 11 years, engaged and married soon...I'm happy alexs boyfriend leaked it
How did they both (Ned and Alex) continue working and making videos with his wife knowing what they're doing? Like is guilt not a thing anymore or what?
Everybody says " i would've never suspected Ned" but out of all the try guys he makes the most sense. he was the most full of himself out of every try guy. always talking about how good he looked, how strong he is, how smart he is etc. so the only person he loved more than his wife...was himself. makes sense then.
@@beangautsy3758 you don’t know what insecure means then. Just because someone is secure with themselves doesn’t mean they are insecure lmao sounds like projection

I've never been so disappointed in somebody i've never met. bro threw away his career, possibly a ton of friends and his beautiful family. aside from the drama, my heart genuinely goes out to Ariel and Will, this is heavy shit to go through publicly.
I mean, if his friends abandon him, were they ever really his friends to begin with? He cheated on the woman, not on you bruh 🤣. However cheating is not a good thing, so as a friend you do need to talk to him about it. But in the end him being a cheater is just a red flag for women, whether he learns his lesson or not 🤷🏾♂️. It's not really something to even make trouble over in the friends circle (The guy's side of course, never the woman's oh god no, they'll kill you 🤣)
@@SensitiveSavage ew wtf? No. If you can be friends with someone who could do something so fucked up then there’s a problem. People generally want to be with friends who hold the same morals as themselves, and this goes against plenty of people’s morals and makes perfect sense why someone wouldn’t be friends with someone who cheated (especially on their WIFE and mother of their kids). It can completely change what you thought you knew about your friend. Why wouldn’t it impact the friendship circle?
@@SensitiveSavage I disagree. I don't see anything wrong with dropping a friend when they do something like that. Plus they all knew and were probably friends with Ariel, which probably makes them dislike him even more cause I'm sure they care about her. I would drop a friend, male or female, in a second if I knew they did something like that to someone. Its also not just his wife that its affecting, but his whole family and children. He did an absolutely disgusting thing and he deserves to have his friends drop him if they do end up cutting ties.
@@SensitiveSavage i agree he hadnt done anything to his friends but if they drop him like this then they really werent true friends if they gonna be good friends then they will try to tell him that his actions are bad and try to make him go back to the right path thats true friendship standing with you till the end
@@echo1375 All these ideas are idealistic at best. The person has problems in their romantic relationship area, maybe they're afraid to get attached or maybe someone once hurt them so they try to do the same. As the friend you know this and take that into consideration. Also if you have any friends right now, both male and female, chances are they've cheated at a certain point in their lives. They might not admit it, they might even actually think it wasn't being unfaithful because the other relationship wasn't yet official, and yet you're probably still friends with them. I posted a main comment about certain things and would really appreciate it if you gave it a read, maybe then you'll understand my viewpoint better. If you don't believe me, how about questioning everyone you know, and if they have cheated, see if you can just cut them out of your life. Of course this entire example is ridiculous, but hey, if you're 100% sure then why not 🤷🏾♂️.
@@fruityfroot4413 pretty sure Ariel was even the first to know. She is the second person who knows N*d the most besides himself and apparently he has always been very slimy especially when drunk. It actually wasn't even the first time he'd cheated and has done it as far back as early 2021 (maybe even earlier than that) and she still gave him a second chance. Ugh, that scumbag.
@@fruityfroot4413 while they could've just been acting, they all seemed very sincerely upset in the public statement video they released on it. I def think that the severity and extent were legitimately new and came as a shock, even if red flags were already there. My guess is they possibly knew he had a wandering eye and/or was having problems but didn't think he would do something this serious. There are a lot of signs you'll dismiss and infractions you'll excuse when you think that you know someone's a good person.
@@olivia7782 yep you’re right! Both Eugene and Zack seemed genuinely affected and I think they are. The rumor was that both Keith and kwesi were there when the video was taken but of course that’s all alleged. It makes sense with how Keith was in the video to me though
@@blubirdhill2608 She's not the face of the organization. What she did was bad but I don't know if I'd consider her a public figure. Also her brand (if she had one) isn't "Family man who just loves his family and wife so darn much"
Cheating scandals are a dime a dozen, especially with celebrities. We were basically already over Adam Levine's infidelity when this popped up. What makes this one worse to me, is that Ned was literally "The Wife Guy" of the group, that was his thing, and he couldn't even do that. Alex, his coworker relationship, was also "The Fiancé Girl". Now I realize why they had to keep mentioning their significant others all the time, they were trying to convince us and themselves that they both weren't cheating scumbags. Too bad the video and photos speak louder then their lies.
It's okay to fall in love with people, if that's what it really is. It's not okay to be honest with your partners immediately. It's the delay that is the killer.
My heart goes to Ariel and her 2 kids she had with that man. She's probably very devastated right now and I can understand that pain but I understand the pain more for the kids than her. My dad cheated on my mom with his coworker for around 6-8 months, though he insists that it was just a "month or two" even though the message history dates back further. I feel terrible for Ariel, but more so for the kids. Cause growing up knowing my dad was a cheater sucked. It broke all of my trust for him and made me lose so much love for him. Of course I still love him and slightly forgive him because hes my dad, but I will NEVER forgive what he did to my mom. Even though she gave him a 2nd chance and hes a WILDLY different man now, a little part of me doesn't trust him anymore and its affected my life in such a drastic way that can never be repaired. My parents had been together for 16 years up until that point and what he did just tore my mom. It literally broke her. She was basically the "stay at home mom" doing the cooking, cleaning, watching 3 kids, etc. and ever since then, she's stopped doing all of that aside from the cooking just because she needs to feed my siblings and I, but even so, she doesn't cook as often as she did before. It would be everyday but now its 5 times a month IF we are lucky. She got even more depressed, she gained trust issues, she developed anxiety around him and PTSD whenever he drives near the home wreckers house or his location lags/stops working for a bit. She even was suicidal for a few months and even though she's better now and my dad Is better now, my mom won't ever be the same and the Unconditional trust and love I had for my dad wont be the same either. I still love him and play games and watch TV and talk about random things with him, but I won't see him in the same way that I did when I was just a child. I was old enough to understand what he did, how he tore us apart, ruined my mom, ruined all 3 kids relationships with him, ruined our bonds we had built for years, ruined the fact that I was 'daddy's girl' and made me heavily distance myself from him for years until my parents got back together and even now I'm still slightly distant but not how I was back then. Of course I'm glad he changed for the better, but I won't ever forget the pain he made my mom and brothers feel. I'll forgive him because hes better but I will never forget.
I’m so sorry you and your siblings have all gone through all that. My mom met some guys while she was still dating my dad (in which we laughed off the story) and my dad had actually cheated on her after marriage before he died. I found out about this after he died (3 years after when my mom was stressed out). My dad had a broken home which was a different can of worms regarding his mom, dad, and step dad’s relationship which kind of made me understand. But after seeing your comment, despite both of my parents’ fairly absent raising due to their work schedules or attempt at getting a work schedule going, I feel as if I still could’ve treated my mother better. I have two older siblings and we’ve doubted our father’s ability to get a job and our family going so it wasn’t that surprising but, we still loved him. I found out that I was actually still mad about a lot of things at my mom for from a heart to heart with my friend but, now I understand especially after reading your comment. Once again, I wish the best for your family and you have my condolences. Thank you for opening my eyes as well.
I understand 100% what you and your family went through. Same happened to my family too. My mother changed a lot after that. The only difference is that my father cheated second time and after that he started to get abusive so we kicked him out of the house. It was a very difficult period for my mother and my brother but we made it through and appreciate all the sacrifices she has made for us.
The fact that he was so obsessed with talking about how much he “loved his wife” is really an indicator of overcompensating for something. Also, if we’re being generous, a guilty conscience.
It’s not overcompensation he really meant it, sex for men is purely physical why do you think men don’t like aftercare because we don’t have any feelings after the sex is gone. He loved his wife but used that girl for her body as a way to satisfy his needs im not saying what he did was right but the ends meet.
@@caughtyouslippin1111 if he really meant it, he wouldn’t have done something that he knew would have hurt her. I assume men have working brains? Aside from the fact that the generalization that sex for all men is “purely physical” is ridiculous (this does not apply to every man), it’s still a choice to cheat on your wife. If you KNOW what you’re doing is wrong and will hurt someone, and you still CHOOSE to do it, then you don’t love them. At least, not enough to actually care if you hurt them. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Either you love your wife and family and DON’T cheat on them, or you cheat and lose your wife and family.
@@caughtyouslippin1111 frankly "sex for men is purely physical" is absolutely bullshit. If you're a woman stop talking out of your ass, and if you're a man then look up sexual aromanticism because it might describe you.
It's sickening. The mere thought wraps my stomach. Knowing there's a remote possibility that Charlie might actually be hiding a Burger King meal right under our noses.
Jesus Christ, as a kid who really liked to watch the Try Guys I wanna be super sad about this, but I also should realize I really don’t need to put that much care into celebrity relationships.
I didn’t really watch them anymore (even then, I was more interested in Eugene 💀) but it still really really sucks it’s only them three. Honestly no celebrity or RUclips scandal will ever break me more than Pat and Jen’s divorce, I was genuinely sad for like 2 weeks when I first found out
I am usually not phased by drama but having watched the Try Guys for ages I was genuinely shocked by this. Poor Ariel I feel terrible for her and the kids, she strikes me as a genuine sweetheart.
yes same! and also the partner of Alexandria, they also got married recently and they were together for 10 years or something. So they both cheated even tho both of them were married. Like wow I would have never thought that Ned would do something like that. So disappointed. I feel so sorry for Ariel...
Nothing weird about the guy saying _"my wife"_ a lot being the one that ended up cheating on her. People that make their morals the loudest to the public are those that have the most skeletons on their closet.
LEGIT got these vibes from him since the beginning. Everytime he talked about family I cringed internally and something felt off but couldn't put my finger on it.
The reason they had to fire him is because Alex works for him. It would be so easy for her to sue for a hostile work environment and say he pressured her. He wasn't just her boss, he was part owner. There is no HR just the try guys. They can't even fire her over this either because that would be seen as retaliation. He honestly could have destroyed the try guys with this. That's also why he put "consensual workplace relationship" on his statement. In order to try to get ahead of any possible allegations.
And the fact that Alex is, or maybe now, was engaged. If she had any humility she would quit. At the very least out of respect for her fiancé and Ariel and her kids. I honestly have lost all respect for both Ned and Alex.
_He loved his family so much that he wanted to start a second one, The fact that his whole personality was how much he loved his wife makes this the most shell shocking_
_I used to binge Try Guys for a good 2 years at the start of highschool for me. it's true, his whole "character" and "persona" was completely built around his love for her. This is mind boggling wth_
Serious question: How much of a loser in life do you have to be to care about some youtuber cheating in his personal relationship? Like seriously, get a fkn life.
I think that sadly the appeal is that they think they’ll get away with it and still have their partner. But with Ned it’s even more confusing because it was so obvious in public that got him caught. What a trash person.
@@tchanthaphaeng So might as well go ahead and hurt the person who loved me enough to marry me. Sure, seems logical. Why not just end it and pursue this other girl? It isn’t boredom, it’s selfishness. And in this particular case, it’s stupid as all hell too, since his whole brand was being in a loving, committed relationship.
We don’t know his personal issues or the real relationship with his wife . The issue for me is that he was doing all of this in public… This tells me that either he had an understanding with his wife or he has issues that go deeper than just cheating… perhaps substance abuse or some sort of exposure/exhibitionism fetish… which makes sense considering his content… most early videos were him in shaking his ass in panties or gyrating on other people etc etc
Love isn't a permanent emotion. After the honeymoon period it tends to cool off, and then some people aren't satisfied with what they have and seek new stimuli. And the immorality of having an affair is a turn-on to some people as well.
“The only thing that matters right now is my wife and my children.” I absolutely hate this type of shit. It’s like these cheaters NOW appreciate their partners and are trying to make it work after being caught and exposed. Only NOW, they are trying to be loyal and “focus on family.” Don’t even pretend like you love your partner and want to “make it work” since the only reason you’re doing this is because you’re trying to do damage control and not get shafted in a divorce.
I do believe getting caught makes you rethink everything and can genuinely make someone change, not that it retracts the fact that he did something horrible, but i do believe he could probably want to change, like when you park in double line "just for a few minutes" and get a ticket, or when you get home later in the night and get grounded far worse than you ever thought your parents would dare to, of course you're sorry you got caught but it also makes you never want to do shit like that ever again because you never thought of the consequences and start to appreciate the liberty and happiness you had earlier. Of course these are much small events not entirely comparable to cheating, but as it is much more bigger so must be the shame he must feel.
The saddest part is the way affairs affect the children. It’s really fucking hard learning to trust people after realizing your own parent can’t be trusted. It traumatizes and causes permanent issues to see one of your parents betray the other
@Bla Bla They didn't choose to expose the affair. He was so brazen with the affair that he was captured in the act by the general public. That's what set this all in motion. Nothing in the Try Guys statement mentions the affair, and only says he's out.
Yeah. As an outsider, I’ve read some comments here about how not only would Ned boast about his wife all the time prior to all this, he would also boast about himself apparently. And Ryan from achievement hunters was also the type to brag about his wife and he was also outed as a cheater, some even claimed his situation was worse.
I never understand why did you even cheat when you have a good career, loving wife, cute kids and understanding friends. The try guys will never be the same after this.
@@styx87 It definitely would if youre the boss and screwing an employee. He knew that for sure. He also knew he would ruin the image of the company and his friends possibilities in the business for ever.

Ned saying he “lost focus” is like Jaida Pinkett-Smith saying she got “into an entanglement”. As a Try Guys fan and Charlie fan, it’s so weird to see these two worlds collide!
The worst part is that cheating is a lot of work. It takes effort to lie and set up dates and sneak around and run away from your spouse. If you put that much effort into cultivating your relationship guess what? There'd be no need to cheat.
As someone who's been completely single his whole life, I cannot imagine finding a woman that likes you and that wants to be with you and then to cheat on them as if you can just go out and find someone else.
imagine being in a relationship with a B+ person, they arent perfect, you arent perfect.. but then a double SS+ person comes up to you and they happen to be attracted to you. what if they even represent the person of your dreams? even so more attractive than your B+ person. thats what scares me about marriage, being bound to a person that u cant replace. what if theres someone even hotter and better than the one ur currrently with? AND they happen to be into you
@@juliohinojosa6923 you break things off with them instead of cheating behind their backs. If you can’t do that and have to be sneaky about it, you don’t deserve the security that marriage brings.

My working theory, especially with how Charlie stated how long the affair had been going on for, is that his whole “I love my wife” schtick is both a coping mechanism for himself based on the guilt he might have felt from cheating, and also to draw away doubt from everyone around him that he would ever even think of cheating, which is why he might have gotten away with it for so long.
Agreed. Someone said recently on a pod that those who talk about how much they hate cancel culture are usually the ones with stuff to hide and that popped into my head as soon as I read about this situation, too. Shameful :/
Cheating is so much worse than society often portrays it (likely due to the high prevalence). But seriously, cheating is rarely ever "just" the act of having sex with someone outside your relationship. It almost always entails a *lot* of gaslighting and emotional manipulation, which, yes, is a form of abuse. It also literally destroys families and poisons childrens' perception of what healthy relationships are supposed to look like. When kids grow up knowing their parents cheated, they're more likely to tolerate that from their own partners and subsequently tolerate the emotional abuse that goes along with it... Also, cheating is just a very laughably low emotional-intelligence thing to do. You have to have very little empathy and very poor communication skills to be okay with cheating, especially for a prolonged period of time. Literally any normal person would just leave their relationship or communicate their unhappiness to their partner, or even go to couples counseling instead. Granted there are some scenarios where I can see why someone would feel that cheating was their only option, but that is a small minority of cases.
Exactly! It feels so maddening to see that there are people in the comments defending this or acting like it’s no big deal. Cheating is a huge deal, and you explained why so well
Not mentioning the trust issues that will come after it. Imagine already having your doubts while your 'partner' keeps on lying about it, manipulating you into thinking that you're just not 'trusting' him. Then like a slap on the face, you were right all along.
That is exactly the thought-process of a narcissist...and it's very demented. Because that's not love: that's just possession. He didn't think he could "hold onto" her anymore because he could barely hang onto himself.
his entire thing was how much he loves his wife and kids. it's fucking insane to me that despite all that, he calls his cheating a 'consensual workplace relationship'. what the hell even.
I'm sure that's the safest thing to say legally wise. The fact that it was with an employee could leave him and the company open to lawsuits so he has to be careful with his words
He has to in order to curb legality. If Alex even gives a hint of "Well, he kinda pressured me into it", The whole company has a potential lawsuit burning them alive. It's very lawyer speak. It's also the reason they didn't publicly state that they fired Alex. If they fire her now, she can come back and sue them. She's more then likely going to be pushed out of the company in the next few months/ quit herself cause god knows I don't want to work with someone who did that and almost fucked up my whole job OR if I did it, work with people who hate my guts inside and out.
he has to note that it was consensual since he’s her boss and she can claim she was forced into a relationship with him. it would ruin not just him, but the try guys as a whole
Ironically, some cheaters will actually act like they love their wife very much while cheating.I even read about it online, it has something to do with the fact that they don't wanna raise suspicions or they feel very guilty and shower the wife with love/gifts/compliments etc
What grosses me out as well about this is that not only did he brand himself as a "wife guy," he was capitalizing on it with all of the content he did with her in the form of cookbooks, DIY videos, etc. All the while being an unfaithful asshole.
I’ll never understand how sex with random women trumps years of life with someone. Just how can you do that. For absolutely meaningless reasons. This is sad as fuck to here. I feel very bad for Ariel.
@@cocolime6496 it’s even worse when you know that the person he cheated on with was someone’s fiancé and has a history of going after men who are already taken
The thing is, he’s a part OWNER of the company and he had a relationship with a subordinate. It’s not just the ethics or brand image, which in his position as the Wife Guy are significant, but the potential for abuse of power legal issues hence why he’s being ousted from the company.
Important note: the other woman in his affair was indeed underneath him in the company hierarchy. That’s not just a moral and image issue, but a legal one as well. He absolutely needed to get fired.
1,000% it's absolutely appalling for someone's boss to sleep with their subordinate. They didn't fire him for his infidelity, but because he's now a PR and HR nightmare. And they had every right.
I’m not defending the guy. What he did was horrible and he deserves getting fired. But if it was a consensual relationship, then it’s not illegal. It’s highly immoral and socially frowned upon. But not illegal
@@CoOlKyUbI96 I think they meant within a company, it's generally against the rules for someone to start a relationship with a subordinate, due to power imbalances. So legal in regard to the company's rules
The apology video from The Try Guys was absolutely amazing though…you gotta respect Eugene, Keith, and Zach. They apology video they did about Ned’s actions was so amazing.
If I had a nickel for every time a celebrity man made their identity revolve around how much he loved his wife and then was caught cheating I'd have two nickels. One for Ned and one for John Mulaney
It's not normalzed you're just hearing about how much it actually happens. Ironically saying that cheating has become normalized makes it more normalized lol
As a person who went to college to be a couples therapist red flag no.1: if the cheater puts their s/o on a pedestal it's to distract themselves/everyone else from the infidelity
Wait shouldn’t you always put your loved ones on pedestals? I tell my gf everyday she’s so pretty and perfect and that she’s the only one for me and I don’t think I’m cheating I definitely don’t know anything about couples therapy like you but is that really a bad thing? To raise lived ones up on pedestal? 😕
@@bahhumbug5467 it’s more of putting your s/o on a pedestal publicly and making loving them your personality. Each of the try guys had their own ‘thing’ and Ned’s was how much he loved his wife. (Probably overcompensating) I don’t think whole heartedly loving your s/o in private is as bad as doing it in public so much that it’s the thing you’re most known for.
His wife and kids deserve someone who will actually love and devote themselves to them truly instead of just constantly projecting and talking about it. Wishing Ariel and her children the best.
For those people its "playing with fire to spice thing up even more" thats why no one should feel any guilt for completely dismissing them. They are not sad bc they did it, they are only sad cuz they got caught.
Been cheated on before, can't imagine what it's like to have that so publicly on display. Wish the best to the person he betrayed and hope things go only uphill from here.
Does anyone else think it’s gross that ex-buzzfeed employees are mocking the situation online for clout? Like I can’t imagine how Ariel feels seeing his old coworkers say they’re not surprised :/
I know this comment is a year old but I'm reliving the drama, and this reminds me of when Ned's friend who worked as a writer on SNL wrote a skit about the Try Guys, trying to downplay the cheating and sympathize with Ned. Ew.
exactly. i used to follow the try guys years ago and i would’ve never guessed he would betray his wife in one of the worst ways. they had kids and everything
Yeah when my sister told me this I was sadly shocked. I really dumbass thought Ned and his wife were so sweet. I hope she divorces him and gets what she deserves
Serious question: How much of a loser in life do you have to be to care about some youtuber cheating in his personal relationship? Like seriously, get a fkn life.
my siblings and i used to watch the try guys together all the time. when the news broke out my brother literally had to wake me up and when i tell you my heart sank. years and years of marriage, friendship, and a budding career down the drain for sex. im not one that usually cares about influencer drama but man, this one just hit me like a ton of bricks.
@gghhhg zehkkvgfrx i am. the only reason i got invested in their channel was because generally it was just something my whole family could enjoy together. cant I feel sad that I don't have that anymore?
@@1845net man the same way you get invested in anything you enjoy things like these usually will make you upset when first learning about them, it doesn't have to be whatever you're making it up to be
I only found out about it this morning, and when my friend told me the shock I went into was so bad she genuinely thought that I'd started crying. I mean, I got pretty close. The Try Guys were what made me discover my love of drag and my gender identity, and seeing Ned, one of the few influencers who I thought would be at the very least DECENT when it came to drama, so shamelessly cheat on Ariel threw my mind for a spin.
It's too disgusting how he was saying that he loves his wife when he was clearly cheating on her. A person that says things like that but still cheats on their partner is unfaithful and will always be someone that you cannot trust.
I watched The Try Guys quite a lot and I feel heartbroken seeing this. I feel so terrible for Ariel, she seemed so genuine. This internet drama truly never ends.
Ariel shouldn't have let herself become fat and complacent. Marriage is a two way street and she clearly gave up on taking care of herself and pushed him away.
The 4 try guys were like the best of friends which went way beyond than just filming youtube videos, so I can't imagine how much it would had pained keith, Eugene and Zach to kick Ned out like this. The fandom will be there to support them, but the channel will never be the same again.
They knew he was cheating the entire time bro 💀 there’s no way they didn’t, I mean come on. Ned cheated in the past too so it isn’t surprising, once someone cheats they’ll ALWAYS do it again eventually, these kinds of people don’t want to change
@@mysticwizardphd with that logic, anyone who makes a mistake in life can never redeem themselves, they will always be stained by what they did. you think that's a good thing? if so, just hope you never make a mistake (spoiler: you will)
@@TheWaxlemon Punishment exists to absolve your soul of the burden of sin, all things must pass, and all things fade. I simply said he doesn’t seem to want to change, if he did he wouldn’t have cheated a second time
My heart goes out to Ariel and the kids. Along with the man that the coworker was engaged with. I've dealt with something very similar and it destroyed me. I have absolutely zero tolerance and zero sympathy for cheaters. It's disgusting and one of the worst things you could do to your partner and kids. May Ned and his coworker's names be lost to time.
Such a pansy move too. If you don’t want to stay faithful, have the decency and respect for your partner to end the relationship and not potentially tear their life apart and ruin their ability to trust their S/O.
Ive drifted away from the Try Guys in recent years but I've been following, watching, and enjoying them since that first video before they even were called the try guys. When I was younger i always admired the love Ned had for his wife, I was in such disbelief when I heard about this. I love Ariel and I really hope someday she'll find happiness with someone.
A former employee came out on tiktok and said ned was over compensating with how much he made his wife his personality. Alex, the woman who he had the relationship with, also lost her 10 year relationship and engagement
I think what’s also a kick in the ass about this is just how much Ariel was featured on the Try Guys channel and just how loved she was by everyone there and of course in the community. On top of it breaking the brand for Ned, it was a relationship with an employee. That would have had further major ramifications if he was kept on after this all came out. Cutting ties with Ned was the best solution Try Guys could do. Some real cruel irony about Ned’s branding.
People are already defending Alex because Ned had a hire position in the company but like. From everything thays been shown & said she's just as much of a piece of shit as Ned is
I’m really heartbroken for Ariel and the fiancé. I’m married and very much in love and someone sent nudes to my husband. My husband blocked her and told me (he told her off for it before he did) and even that was hard because she did that. I can’t imagine actually being cheated on. Just someone trying to get my husband to cheat hurt a lot.
I’m so sorry you both experienced that and you had to know that some girl tried to give your husband inappropriate pictures. On the bright side, your husband actually not only stayed faithful to you but, he also blocked a degenerate. I hope you’re okay and that your relationship with your husband is alright.
same dude, i pittered out of watching years ago and haven't paid much mind to them since, so this is outta fucking left field. i was hoping the thumbnail was just meant to be a funny picture or something but no
I agree. But at the same time that would mean that the last 4 years are nothing. Life is somehow more complicated than just leaving. Trust me. I don’t get it. But he’s still here after everything that happened when we were dating for 3 months in high school.
I just don’t understand cheaters especially with children because you’d think that the guilt would outweigh any kind of enjoyment you could get out of doing something so terrible
honestly i feel really bad for the rest of the try guys members. They are definitely the type to abhor cheating, and with them being so close to him for so long… the mindfuck they must be going through.
uh… i don’t want to burst your bubble, but it’s very likely they already knew about his behavior. there was more in the eyewitness account on reddit but there was a situation in which ned was hitting on a girl in a club very sloppily, so after rejecting him the girl asked Keith if he was always like that. Keith said yes… which sounds like they were somewhat aware that Ned was prone to cheating. They may not have all known the details but they knew he was sus.
Bruv, they knew. They knew and covered for him. Wanna know why? Because it's all of their brand on the line and they will care about that more than doing the right thing.
Man, if I had a nickel for every time a well-liked celebrity who's persona involved an intimate and loving relationship with their wife was caught in a cheating scandal recently, I'd have two nickels.
i personally find it incredible that the other guys have not only fired him but also completely cut ties him, and in this age where big companies like them brush things like this off for the sake of the money(and in this particular scenario) im just happy they did the very right thing
I think its a few things. I do think this was the best move career wise for them. They arent a massive company and thier income is directly reliant on people liking them. If they kept him on it would not only tarnish they Try Guys as a brand but then follow the others when trying to secure other projects. This way the brand the Try Guys definitely suffers but Eugene, Keith and Zach, as well as the rest of the crew come out looking innocent. The other, less caculated reason is they were genuinely friends, and Ariel was genuinely their friend. I dont think they could stand to kick her out of the company while keeping Ned in, or forcing her to keep working with him.
the rest of the try guys and their partners are also friends with his wife. I respect their decision. They only could do what they do by having a certain level of trust with each other and he broke that trust. He was one of the grooms men to keiths wedding so they were close.
Y'know, in hindsight, Ned talking about his wife and family in just about every video and emphasizing how much he loves them should've been a red flag. Especially because people don't usually like to talk excessively about their private life (Online in videos anyways).
Yeah, all of the others were very slow to introduce their SO's (except Becky, as they literally got married as the new company was started and she just shines in the spotlight anyways; though in that same vein, you never hear ANY of them talk about their SO's the way Ned did--you saw their love in the way they treat each other and interact, not just with words)
Honestly I think he did care for his wife back when the "my wife" meme was at its peak. His mentions of her died down so hard in the last two years, so it might genuinely be the opposite.
There is a line from a local movie in my country where the female protagonist said "Cheating isn't an accident. It's a choice." And sadly, that was Ned's choice.
I'm genuinely shocked... I've been watching the Try Guys since they were with Buzzfeed and I NEVER would've expected any of them to cheat, but especially Ned. I love Ariel, I can't imagine what she's going through right now, and the poor kids
@@lowlowseesee Only Ned cheated though, and yeah I like to give the benefit of the doubt to people instead of assuming they'll cheat eventually. Plus the only person I know that cheated on their spouse was a woman so it's not just men that cheat. These 4 made themselves out to be great people so of course I was surprised to hear that one of them would do something so terrible. Sorry for the paragraph if you were just joking, I'm terrible at knowing when people, are especially over typed responses
Really, this is a golden opportunity. They can call themselves the Tri Guys now that there are only three of them.

Or...full triangle, at least.
The fact that he has kids makes this so much worse, as someone who grew up in a home with a cheater It absolutely affects your ability to build healthy relationships.
Same here. I have severe trust issues due to my mother constantly cheating on my father. Makes me not trust anyone and it makes me have doubts in my own relationship, which is unfair to my partner. People don’t realize how much cheating in a marriage destroys people. It ruins families forever. It creates permanent issues within the people who once trusted you
True :/
Ain't that the truth.
Same :\
I divorced a cheater last year. Can confirm its hard to do anything at all after that. You can't un-crush your soul.
Its like crumpling a piece of paper-- no matter how much you flatten it out, it's never going to be the way it was before. I'm forever damaged.
Finding out Ned cheated on his wife would be the equivalent to finding out that Charlie is secretly best friends with James Corden.

It hurts knowing that his wife (soon to be ex seeing as she took out wife from her social media platforms) literally stated that one of her insecurities is the fact that she is older than ned, and he cheats on her with a girl much younger than her. She must be hurting in so many ways and I truly wish her the best.

@@SD_YTB wanna know something even worse is i heard she's pregnant again
Man's really pulled the "I'm sorry for any pain I MAY have caused" classic garbage apology from a man who doesn't think of himself in the wrong
I’m a little annoyed that I haven’t seen anyone else catch on to this. The “may” stuck out to me like a sore thumb. Additionally, the “consensual workplace relationship” was _cheating on my wife with one of my company subordinates._ Not only is he trying to deflect blame, but he’s also trying to hide the fact that he’s abused his power with one of his underlings by pursuing a sexual relationship.
I didn’t even catch that until you pointed it out. Even shittier apology than I thought.
What should he have said in his apology?
@@Eric42RandomVideos maybe something like “I made a mistake and I’m sorry for all the pain I caused, especially to the people within my family I have directly affected”.
He probably is sorry tbh, but it’s just choosing the word “may” and saying “whatever I may have caused” is like saying “I’m sorry you feel that way”. It’s a poor word choice when trying to take accountability and rrly makes it seem like you’re _not_ actually all that sorry yknow

The fact that Ned claimed that he cheated because he "lost focus" just makes it sound worse. It's like saying that he has to be focused all the time to resist cheating on his wife. Which, in retrospect, is probably the reason why he mentioned her all the time in the first place. Yikes.

Why you don’t even know her
@@omensoffate It's called empathy. Most people can feel for people they do not know when their situation is relatable.
It's the fact that he was "obsessed" with his wife, he wrote a cook book with her, uploaded DIY content with her, enmeshed her in his brand with the Try Guys as one of the Try Wives, and the You Can Sit With Us podcast. He threw away his family, his friendship with the other three guys, his brand deals, his show with The Food Network, all of it. Gone. For what? I hope it was worth it.
Also, for those asking "why fire him", he slept with an employee. That's most definitely a fireable offense.
He did it for the same reason most men cheat, to catch that nut. But like you mentioned, he traded all of that for a bit of momentary release.
Alex the woman he cheated with didn't get fired apparently and she's just as guilty. She slept with an employee and also had a partner that will be just as heart broken. Goes both ways but I think they should both be kicked out. Just disgusting
@@velocityfpv5231 I don't even think the firing is about the cheating but more about Ned screwing up the company image. If Ned stays all their videos would get mass downvoted. The women doesn't have as much clout so not many people care about her cheating even though she was engaged and had been with her now ex for over 10 years. Who knows how long they have been going behind their partners back. Pretty sad all around.
Eh I'm betting Ned will be back once the divorce is over. They just need to help Neddy pay less Alimony to Ariel during the divorce. Why would only Ned be fired and not the cheating woman?
@@mogecry wdym? I’m confused, so by your logic why doesn’t ned sue…? I’m just confused man
Not only did Ned cheat on his wife, but the woman that he cheated on Ariel with had been in a relationship for 10.5 YEARS. She basically threw 10.5 years down the drain for Ned, so honestly my heart goes out to her (hopefully) ex-fiancé and to Ariel for having to deal with POS who can't be faithful.
As Charlie said it was a big mess. The Try Guys are a mess. The food babies are done. And 2 10 year relationships are done. A marriage with 2 kids is in disarray. An engagement is definitely called off. Sad.

SERIOUSLY. If this was even an issue or concern AT ALL, it should be worth discussing with your S.O. Maybe experiment or spice things up in your relationship to keep it fresh. So much of that attention was diverted into the videos they did for the company and none of it for the relationship. -

@@AarenYASS The amount of times cheating, which is basically all times, can be avoided is just by communicating with their partner. It's such a shame so many couples struggle with it.
Probably cuz she wasn’t putting out because she was pregnant and therefore caused him to have his needs met somewhere else. But if that was the case then they should’ve had open lines of communication about needs being met. He literally chose the most detrimental option

Everybody says " i would've never suspected Ned" but out of all the try guys he makes the most sense. he was the most full of himself out of every try guy. always talking about how good he looked, how strong he is, how smart he is etc. so the only person he loved more than his wife...was himself. makes sense then.
And he was love bombing in the sense he talked about her all the time and almost made it his entire personality. Almost like he hiding something

I mean, if his friends abandon him, were they ever really his friends to begin with? He cheated on the woman, not on you bruh 🤣. However cheating is not a good thing, so as a friend you do need to talk to him about it. But in the end him being a cheater is just a red flag for women, whether he learns his lesson or not 🤷🏾♂️.

@@SensitiveSavage ew wtf? No. If you can be friends with someone who could do something so fucked up then there’s a problem. People generally want to be with friends who hold the same morals as themselves, and this goes against plenty of people’s morals and makes perfect sense why someone wouldn’t be friends with someone who cheated (especially on their WIFE and mother of their kids). It can completely change what you thought you knew about your friend. Why wouldn’t it impact the friendship circle?
@@SensitiveSavage I disagree. I don't see anything wrong with dropping a friend when they do something like that. Plus they all knew and were probably friends with Ariel, which probably makes them dislike him even more cause I'm sure they care about her. I would drop a friend, male or female, in a second if I knew they did something like that to someone. Its also not just his wife that its affecting, but his whole family and children. He did an absolutely disgusting thing and he deserves to have his friends drop him if they do end up cutting ties.
@@SensitiveSavage i agree he hadnt done anything to his friends but if they drop him like this then they really werent true friends if they gonna be good friends then they will try to tell him that his actions are bad and try to make him go back to the right path thats true friendship standing with you till the end
@@echo1375 All these ideas are idealistic at best. The person has problems in their romantic relationship area, maybe they're afraid to get attached or maybe someone once hurt them so they try to do the same. As the friend you know this and take that into consideration. Also if you have any friends right now, both male and female, chances are they've cheated at a certain point in their lives. They might not admit it, they might even actually think it wasn't being unfaithful because the other relationship wasn't yet official, and yet you're probably still friends with them. I posted a main comment about certain things and would really appreciate it if you gave it a read, maybe then you'll understand my viewpoint better. If you don't believe me, how about questioning everyone you know, and if they have cheated, see if you can just cut them out of your life. Of course this entire example is ridiculous, but hey, if you're 100% sure then why not 🤷🏾♂️.

Who is he???
Cheating scandals are a dime a dozen, especially with celebrities. We were basically already over Adam Levine's infidelity when this popped up. What makes this one worse to me, is that Ned was literally "The Wife Guy" of the group, that was his thing, and he couldn't even do that.
Alex, his coworker relationship, was also "The Fiancé Girl". Now I realize why they had to keep mentioning their significant others all the time, they were trying to convince us and themselves that they both weren't cheating scumbags. Too bad the video and photos speak louder then their lies.

My heart goes to Ariel and her 2 kids she had with that man. She's probably very devastated right now and I can understand that pain but I understand the pain more for the kids than her. My dad cheated on my mom with his coworker for around 6-8 months, though he insists that it was just a "month or two" even though the message history dates back further. I feel terrible for Ariel, but more so for the kids. Cause growing up knowing my dad was a cheater sucked. It broke all of my trust for him and made me lose so much love for him. Of course I still love him and slightly forgive him because hes my dad, but I will NEVER forgive what he did to my mom. Even though she gave him a 2nd chance and hes a WILDLY different man now, a little part of me doesn't trust him anymore and its affected my life in such a drastic way that can never be repaired. My parents had been together for 16 years up until that point and what he did just tore my mom. It literally broke her. She was basically the "stay at home mom" doing the cooking, cleaning, watching 3 kids, etc. and ever since then, she's stopped doing all of that aside from the cooking just because she needs to feed my siblings and I, but even so, she doesn't cook as often as she did before. It would be everyday but now its 5 times a month IF we are lucky. She got even more depressed, she gained trust issues, she developed anxiety around him and PTSD whenever he drives near the home wreckers house or his location lags/stops working for a bit. She even was suicidal for a few months and even though she's better now and my dad Is better now, my mom won't ever be the same and the Unconditional trust and love I had for my dad wont be the same either. I still love him and play games and watch TV and talk about random things with him, but I won't see him in the same way that I did when I was just a child.
I was old enough to understand what he did, how he tore us apart, ruined my mom, ruined all 3 kids relationships with him, ruined our bonds we had built for years, ruined the fact that I was 'daddy's girl' and made me heavily distance myself from him for years until my parents got back together and even now I'm still slightly distant but not how I was back then. Of course I'm glad he changed for the better, but I won't ever forget the pain he made my mom and brothers feel. I'll forgive him because hes better but I will never forget.
I’m so sorry you and your siblings have all gone through all that. My mom met some guys while she was still dating my dad (in which we laughed off the story) and my dad had actually cheated on her after marriage before he died. I found out about this after he died (3 years after when my mom was stressed out). My dad had a broken home which was a different can of worms regarding his mom, dad, and step dad’s relationship which kind of made me understand. But after seeing your comment, despite both of my parents’ fairly absent raising due to their work schedules or attempt at getting a work schedule going, I feel as if I still could’ve treated my mother better. I have two older siblings and we’ve doubted our father’s ability to get a job and our family going so it wasn’t that surprising but, we still loved him. I found out that I was actually still mad about a lot of things at my mom for from a heart to heart with my friend but, now I understand especially after reading your comment.
Once again, I wish the best for your family and you have my condolences. Thank you for opening my eyes as well.
That's heartbreaking 💔
I understand 100% what you and your family went through. Same happened to my family too. My mother changed a lot after that. The only difference is that my father cheated second time and after that he started to get abusive so we kicked him out of the house. It was a very difficult period for my mother and my brother but we made it through and appreciate all the sacrifices she has made for us.

I shit my pants 👖 because I make banger content.
The fact that he was so obsessed with talking about how much he “loved his wife” is really an indicator of overcompensating for something. Also, if we’re being generous, a guilty conscience.
It’s not overcompensation he really meant it, sex for men is purely physical why do you think men don’t like aftercare because we don’t have any feelings after the sex is gone. He loved his wife but used that girl for her body as a way to satisfy his needs im not saying what he did was right but the ends meet.
@@caughtyouslippin1111 I am a male and have lots of feelings during and after sex. Maybe you lack empathy.
@@caughtyouslippin1111 if he really meant it, he wouldn’t have done something that he knew would have hurt her. I assume men have working brains? Aside from the fact that the generalization that sex for all men is “purely physical” is ridiculous (this does not apply to every man), it’s still a choice to cheat on your wife. If you KNOW what you’re doing is wrong and will hurt someone, and you still CHOOSE to do it, then you don’t love them. At least, not enough to actually care if you hurt them.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Either you love your wife and family and DON’T cheat on them, or you cheat and lose your wife and family.
@@caughtyouslippin1111 frankly "sex for men is purely physical" is absolutely bullshit. If you're a woman stop talking out of your ass, and if you're a man then look up sexual aromanticism because it might describe you.

Jesus Christ, as a kid who really liked to watch the Try Guys I wanna be super sad about this, but I also should realize I really don’t need to put that much care into celebrity relationships.
You can still be sad. That's just called empathy. What's parasocial is that you'll threaten or dox anyone involved.
I didn’t really watch them anymore (even then, I was more interested in Eugene 💀) but it still really really sucks it’s only them three. Honestly no celebrity or RUclips scandal will ever break me more than Pat and Jen’s divorce, I was genuinely sad for like 2 weeks when I first found out
I am usually not phased by drama but having watched the Try Guys for ages I was genuinely shocked by this. Poor Ariel I feel terrible for her and the kids, she strikes me as a genuine sweetheart.
I shit my pants 👖 because I make banger content.
Fuck these bots, but yea how tf yours stick is "I love my wife" and the drama is you fuckin cheat on her and the two kids
yh fr and the fact that his whole brand was I love my wife
yes same! and also the partner of Alexandria, they also got married recently and they were together for 10 years or something. So they both cheated even tho both of them were married. Like wow I would have never thought that Ned would do something like that. So disappointed. I feel so sorry for Ariel...
Yea they treat The little mermaid terribly
Nothing weird about the guy saying _"my wife"_ a lot being the one that ended up cheating on her. People that make their morals the loudest to the public are those that have the most skeletons on their closet.
Period.
Yea, makes more sense in hindsight.
I was thinking he was actually gay or going insane so cheating isnt that far off
The fact he addressed her as "wife" and not by her name was quite telling already.
LEGIT got these vibes from him since the beginning. Everytime he talked about family I cringed internally and something felt off but couldn't put my finger on it.
The reason they had to fire him is because Alex works for him. It would be so easy for her to sue for a hostile work environment and say he pressured her. He wasn't just her boss, he was part owner. There is no HR just the try guys. They can't even fire her over this either because that would be seen as retaliation. He honestly could have destroyed the try guys with this. That's also why he put "consensual workplace relationship" on his statement. In order to try to get ahead of any possible allegations.
Oh wow interesting
who is Alex? I don't watch these people anymore. I did before they were try guys. can't remember the name tho.
Also because he branded himself as a family man and all that, his image is ruined. There's no way he could just come back like nothing happened
@@ThtJustinGuy the girl from food babies
And the fact that Alex is, or maybe now, was engaged.
If she had any humility she would quit. At the very least out of respect for her fiancé and Ariel and her kids. I honestly have lost all respect for both Ned and Alex.

Serious question: How much of a loser in life do you have to be to care about some youtuber cheating in his personal relationship? Like seriously, get a fkn life.
I'll never understand the appeal to having affairs and putting someone you "love" in that position.
I think that sadly the appeal is that they think they’ll get away with it and still have their partner. But with Ned it’s even more confusing because it was so obvious in public that got him caught. What a trash person.
Some people just get bored.
@@tchanthaphaeng So might as well go ahead and hurt the person who loved me enough to marry me. Sure, seems logical. Why not just end it and pursue this other girl? It isn’t boredom, it’s selfishness. And in this particular case, it’s stupid as all hell too, since his whole brand was being in a loving, committed relationship.
We don’t know his personal issues or the real relationship with his wife . The issue for me is that he was doing all of this in public… This tells me that either he had an understanding with his wife or he has issues that go deeper than just cheating… perhaps substance abuse or some sort of exposure/exhibitionism fetish… which makes sense considering his content… most early videos were him in shaking his ass in panties or gyrating on other people etc etc
Love isn't a permanent emotion. After the honeymoon period it tends to cool off, and then some people aren't satisfied with what they have and seek new stimuli. And the immorality of having an affair is a turn-on to some people as well.
i love the "i lost focus" like my dude, it's not normal to have to constantly focus on NOT cheating on your wife
“The only thing that matters right now is my wife and my children.” I absolutely hate this type of shit. It’s like these cheaters NOW appreciate their partners and are trying to make it work after being caught and exposed. Only NOW, they are trying to be loyal and “focus on family.” Don’t even pretend like you love your partner and want to “make it work” since the only reason you’re doing this is because you’re trying to do damage control and not get shafted in a divorce.
Hard agree. He’s not sorry it happened, he’s sorry he got caught.
Well said.
It’s a way of using their poor family as a shield after their behavior.
“Respect me and my familys privacy, as we sort through” blah blah blah
I do believe getting caught makes you rethink everything and can genuinely make someone change, not that it retracts the fact that he did something horrible, but i do believe he could probably want to change, like when you park in double line "just for a few minutes" and get a ticket, or when you get home later in the night and get grounded far worse than you ever thought your parents would dare to, of course you're sorry you got caught but it also makes you never want to do shit like that ever again because you never thought of the consequences and start to appreciate the liberty and happiness you had earlier. Of course these are much small events not entirely comparable to cheating, but as it is much more bigger so must be the shame he must feel.
Isn’t that like word for word what Adam Levine posted 😂😂
The saddest part is the way affairs affect the children. It’s really fucking hard learning to trust people after realizing your own parent can’t be trusted. It traumatizes and causes permanent issues to see one of your parents betray the other
Yes! My father is a cheater and an abuser and when I learned about that I started to have trust issues.
@Bla Bla They didn't choose to expose the affair. He was so brazen with the affair that he was captured in the act by the general public. That's what set this all in motion. Nothing in the Try Guys statement mentions the affair, and only says he's out.
My parents didnt even technically cheat and im still traumatized
I wouldnt say permanent but hell yeah

Yeah. As an outsider, I’ve read some comments here about how not only would Ned boast about his wife all the time prior to all this, he would also boast about himself apparently.

Collide in a terrible way
The worst part is that cheating is a lot of work. It takes effort to lie and set up dates and sneak around and run away from your spouse. If you put that much effort into cultivating your relationship guess what? There'd be no need to cheat.
As someone who's been completely single his whole life, I cannot imagine finding a woman that likes you and that wants to be with you and then to cheat on them as if you can just go out and find someone else.
imagine being in a relationship with a B+ person, they arent perfect, you arent perfect.. but then a double SS+ person comes up to you and they happen to be attracted to you. what if they even represent the person of your dreams? even so more attractive than your B+ person. thats what scares me about marriage, being bound to a person that u cant replace. what if theres someone even hotter and better than the one ur currrently with? AND they happen to be into you
@@juliohinojosa6923 you break things off with them instead of cheating behind their backs. If you can’t do that and have to be sneaky about it, you don’t deserve the security that marriage brings.

My working theory, especially with how Charlie stated how long the affair had been going on for, is that his whole “I love my wife” schtick is both a coping mechanism for himself based on the guilt he might have felt from cheating, and also to draw away doubt from everyone around him that he would ever even think of cheating, which is why he might have gotten away with it for so long.
i thought the same! this dude probably cheated on Ariel for a loooong time.
Yup. My thoughts exactly.
100%. Seen it many, many times before. Something is usually off when someone talks incessantly about their partner.
Agreed. Someone said recently on a pod that those who talk about how much they hate cancel culture are usually the ones with stuff to hide and that popped into my head as soon as I read about this situation, too. Shameful :/
He’s been saying he loved his wife since buzzfeed days
The biggest shock is that more than one woman saw him as a sexual being
Cap because never happened
I LIKE HAM 🐖
He's such a unseasoned piece of chicken
True that😂
Even Ned is getting more action than me
Cheating is so much worse than society often portrays it (likely due to the high prevalence). But seriously, cheating is rarely ever "just" the act of having sex with someone outside your relationship.
It almost always entails a *lot* of gaslighting and emotional manipulation, which, yes, is a form of abuse. It also literally destroys families and poisons childrens' perception of what healthy relationships are supposed to look like. When kids grow up knowing their parents cheated, they're more likely to tolerate that from their own partners and subsequently tolerate the emotional abuse that goes along with it...
Also, cheating is just a very laughably low emotional-intelligence thing to do. You have to have very little empathy and very poor communication skills to be okay with cheating, especially for a prolonged period of time.
Literally any normal person would just leave their relationship or communicate their unhappiness to their partner, or even go to couples counseling instead.
Granted there are some scenarios where I can see why someone would feel that cheating was their only option, but that is a small minority of cases.
Exactly! It feels so maddening to see that there are people in the comments defending this or acting like it’s no big deal. Cheating is a huge deal, and you explained why so well
Yeah so many saying it's "just sex" (either negative or positive) don't get it.
Not mentioning the trust issues that will come after it. Imagine already having your doubts while your 'partner' keeps on lying about it, manipulating you into thinking that you're just not 'trusting' him. Then like a slap on the face, you were right all along.
“He respects his wife so much he had to cheat on her because he’s unworthy of her love”
Yep that sounds exactly what Ned would’ve done 100%
madonna and wohre complex alive and well i see
That is exactly the thought-process of a narcissist...and it's very demented. Because that's not love: that's just possession. He didn't think he could "hold onto" her anymore because he could barely hang onto himself.

If you say the chick he cheated with you would be more understanding,she's a total smoke show!
@@custardgannet4836 No actually I don’t think I would be
I'm sure that's the safest thing to say legally wise. The fact that it was with an employee could leave him and the company open to lawsuits so he has to be careful with his words
He pointed out that it was consensual to get ahead of any assumptions of abuse that people might jump to
He has to in order to curb legality. If Alex even gives a hint of "Well, he kinda pressured me into it", The whole company has a potential lawsuit burning them alive. It's very lawyer speak.
It's also the reason they didn't publicly state that they fired Alex. If they fire her now, she can come back and sue them. She's more then likely going to be pushed out of the company in the next few months/ quit herself cause god knows I don't want to work with someone who did that and almost fucked up my whole job OR if I did it, work with people who hate my guts inside and out.
"Consensual workplace relationship" is one of the creepiest ways a boss can describe dating their employees
Tbf they both agreed to the relationship so it is technically the right thing to call this whole thing.
It's also the one of the "I want to avoid a lawsuit"-iest ways to describe a boss fking their employee.
@@WB-wq9fm It was written as if the word "dating" meant something else.

I have absolutely zero tolerance and zero sympathy for cheaters. It's disgusting and one of the worst things you could do to your partner and kids.
May Ned and his coworker's names be lost to time.
Such a pansy move too. If you don’t want to stay faithful, have the decency and respect for your partner to end the relationship and not potentially tear their life apart and ruin their ability to trust their S/O.
Happened to me too after a long engagement. I understand.
Why to Ariel? She's as guilty as he is 🤷🏻♀️
The whole “I love my wife, she’s amazing” could’ve been an act just to stray away from suspicion
Doubt it, Ned’s been saying that for years, unless he’s insanely good at it he couldn’t get away with an affair for that long.
Maybe a defense mechanism, deep down he never actually cared about Ariel
Ive drifted away from the Try Guys in recent years but I've been following, watching, and enjoying them since that first video before they even were called the try guys. When I was younger i always admired the love Ned had for his wife, I was in such disbelief when I heard about this. I love Ariel and I really hope someday she'll find happiness with someone.
Same
A former employee came out on tiktok and said ned was over compensating with how much he made his wife his personality. Alex, the woman who he had the relationship with, also lost her 10 year relationship and engagement
I'm glad her fiancee had to pull the plug and expose them
you don't have to be a former employee to tell that he was overcompensating lmao
She didn't lose her relationship. She threw it away. He did too.
@Kavetion I just saw you post the same comment in a different reply bot spotted
I think what’s also a kick in the ass about this is just how much Ariel was featured on the Try Guys channel and just how loved she was by everyone there and of course in the community. On top of it breaking the brand for Ned, it was a relationship with an employee. That would have had further major ramifications if he was kept on after this all came out. Cutting ties with Ned was the best solution Try Guys could do. Some real cruel irony about Ned’s branding.
Where info?
People are already defending Alex because Ned had a hire position in the company but like. From everything thays been shown & said she's just as much of a piece of shit as Ned is
I shit my pants 👖 because I make banger content.
I feel bad for their kids as well, aren’t they also on the Try Guys channel? Looking back to it feels sad.
@@maxiwaxipads Yep. Wes has been in multiple videos. I don’t think Finn (the second son) was as heavily on because he was born during the pandemic.
I’m really heartbroken for Ariel and the fiancé. I’m married and very much in love and someone sent nudes to my husband. My husband blocked her and told me (he told her off for it before he did) and even that was hard because she did that. I can’t imagine actually being cheated on. Just someone trying to get my husband to cheat hurt a lot.
I’m so sorry you both experienced that and you had to know that some girl tried to give your husband inappropriate pictures. On the bright side, your husband actually not only stayed faithful to you but, he also blocked a degenerate. I hope you’re okay and that your relationship with your husband is alright.
Your man is definitely a keeper
I haven’t watched the Try Guys in years, but I felt so shocked when finding out that Ned “I love my wife” Fulmer cheated on his wife.
I'm better than penguinz0
same dude, i pittered out of watching years ago and haven't paid much mind to them since, so this is outta fucking left field. i was hoping the thumbnail was just meant to be a funny picture or something but no
Now I’m concerned that Charlie secretly loves Burger King.
I shit my pants 👖 because I make banger content.
I bet he is secretly wearing that stupid paper crown all the time.
Secretly good at cooking, hes been faking it the whole time
remember people, if your partner ever cheated on you, never let them come back
Yall are so offended over someone else's break up
I shit my pants 👖 because I make banger content.
I agree. But at the same time that would mean that the last 4 years are nothing.
Life is somehow more complicated than just leaving. Trust me. I don’t get it. But he’s still here after everything that happened when we were dating for 3 months in high school.
@@vito413 It's almost like Ned was a trusted and loved person in the try-guy community who did something shitty like cheating on his own wife
@@commanderpinkie7617 the sunk-cost fallacy is a dangerous thing to fall into especially in situations like this.
I just don’t understand cheaters especially with children because you’d think that the guilt would outweigh any kind of enjoyment you could get out of doing something so terrible
honestly i feel really bad for the rest of the try guys members. They are definitely the type to abhor cheating, and with them being so close to him for so long… the mindfuck they must be going through.
uh… i don’t want to burst your bubble, but it’s very likely they already knew about his behavior. there was more in the eyewitness account on reddit but there was a situation in which ned was hitting on a girl in a club very sloppily, so after rejecting him the girl asked Keith if he was always like that. Keith said yes… which sounds like they were somewhat aware that Ned was prone to cheating. They may not have all known the details but they knew he was sus.
Bruv, they knew. They knew and covered for him. Wanna know why? Because it's all of their brand on the line and they will care about that more than doing the right thing.
@@musicalprodigy126 Has the reddit post been verified?
@@musicalprodigy126 ehh… unless that post has been verified I ain’t gonna blindly believe that.
I bet at least one of them knew. Guy code and everything.
Man, if I had a nickel for every time a well-liked celebrity who's persona involved an intimate and loving relationship with their wife was caught in a cheating scandal recently, I'd have two nickels.
Two? Whos the other one?
@@magnusrylander I think Adam Levine
@@magnusrylander John Mulaney
You just had to crush me again
@@salttin2894 Woah what happened with John mulaney???
i personally find it incredible that the other guys have not only fired him but also completely cut ties him, and in this age where big companies like them brush things like this off for the sake of the money(and in this particular scenario) im just happy they did the very right thing
I think its a few things. I do think this was the best move career wise for them. They arent a massive company and thier income is directly reliant on people liking them. If they kept him on it would not only tarnish they Try Guys as a brand but then follow the others when trying to secure other projects. This way the brand the Try Guys definitely suffers but Eugene, Keith and Zach, as well as the rest of the crew come out looking innocent. The other, less caculated reason is they were genuinely friends, and Ariel was genuinely their friend. I dont think they could stand to kick her out of the company while keeping Ned in, or forcing her to keep working with him.
Rhey knew he was a jerk, kicking him out was a way to save their ass, they knew he would get exposed.
They aren't a big company and second, most big companies only don't do this when it's some big shot not some manager below.
Alex worked directly under Ned as well, legally I’m pretty sure they HAD to fire him
the rest of the try guys and their partners are also friends with his wife. I respect their decision. They only could do what they do by having a certain level of trust with each other and he broke that trust. He was one of the grooms men to keiths wedding so they were close.
can’t believe it’s been 6 months since there. weirdly feels like this drama happened last month, and last year simultaneously
Ned cheating on his wife would be the equivalent to finding out “Victoria’s Secret” is actually the lingerie
Why would you even suggest something so heinously absurd
What is this even supposed to mean?
So you're saying the whole thing was obvious?
OHHH
BRUH WHAT THE LINGERE IS HER SECRET BCUZ VICTORIA IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PRUDE OR SOMETHING??
This is the biggest case of projection I’ve ever seen with Ned
yeah i forgor abt the 5 guys
OMG I MEANT TRY GUYS
@@justagalwhocomments at least you tried, guy
It would be more projection if he told others to be more manly
@@elbow333 good one bro
Y'know, in hindsight, Ned talking about his wife and family in just about every video and emphasizing how much he loves them should've been a red flag. Especially because people don't usually like to talk excessively about their private life (Online in videos anyways).
Yeah, all of the others were very slow to introduce their SO's (except Becky, as they literally got married as the new company was started and she just shines in the spotlight anyways; though in that same vein, you never hear ANY of them talk about their SO's the way Ned did--you saw their love in the way they treat each other and interact, not just with words)
@@aff77141 Not to mention he started bringing up Ariel (although I don't think by name) all the way back in the early Buzzfeed Try Guy days too.
Honestly I think he did care for his wife back when the "my wife" meme was at its peak. His mentions of her died down so hard in the last two years, so it might genuinely be the opposite.
There is a line from a local movie in my country where the female protagonist said "Cheating isn't an accident. It's a choice." And sadly, that was Ned's choice.
He’s not sorry that he did it, he’s sorry he got caught. That’s the case with so many of these stories
I'm genuinely shocked... I've been watching the Try Guys since they were with Buzzfeed and I NEVER would've expected any of them to cheat, but especially Ned. I love Ariel, I can't imagine what she's going through right now, and the poor kids
Hate to break it to you but he’s done it before too, once a cheater always a cheater
Also, there’s no way the guys didn’t know
@@mysticwizardphd where did you hear he’s done this before? Is it proven?
You thought 4 men wouldn’t cheat?!?! Lololololol what planet you live on?
@@lowlowseesee Only Ned cheated though, and yeah I like to give the benefit of the doubt to people instead of assuming they'll cheat eventually. Plus the only person I know that cheated on their spouse was a woman so it's not just men that cheat. These 4 made themselves out to be great people so of course I was surprised to hear that one of them would do something so terrible. Sorry for the paragraph if you were just joking, I'm terrible at knowing when people, are especially over typed responses
Finding out Ned cheated on his wife is like finding out Charlie actually takes 80% of earnings from his Moist Esports players
that's a good one lmao
I don’t think he fully grasps how much worse his life is going to be now.
I dunno dr disrespect got out of it just fine. In fact people seemed to like him more after becoming immortalized as a meme.
