I apologize for how much this comments section really has been cursed. I've made the intentional decision not to censor any comments, not only because it's not worth my time, but because I didn't want to target any particular type of comment here. I also thought there would be more of a supportive comments section for Eddy and Sabrina than there currently is, but there isn't, so I have to face the consequences. Unless a comment is truly, unbelievably disgusting and hateful and threatening and I am made aware of it (death threats, targeted comments, etc.), I'm not going to ban any comments in support of Gus. I think if nothing else, it's useful for people to see the true reaction to all of this, despite how I personally feel about the situation.
Because you disagree with it? So its cursed? Maybe you just eat up what you're spoon-fed, like a bitter ex who says she isn't ready for parenthood, states her intent to get an abortion, and then blames her ex for forcing her to get one. All while monetizing her smear campaign for profit. Pathetic.
Whenever you find out someone did something horrible, everyone says “he always did rub me the wrong way” like bruh that shit pisses me off lmao. He seemed like a genuine great dude and that’s what hurts more. Knowing he’s not the good guy you thought he was at all.
Literally, ppl want to act like they saw it coming and usually you kind of can but with Gus I mean I genuinely never did and that crushed me as a viewer.
Ugh fr, people are like "I thought there was something off about him". Oh yeah, then why are y'all so bloody shocked then? I honestly didn't get a hint of anything worse than maybe he was a bit flaky with friends and messy (but like, same), and that's why so many people are still in denial, he seemed like a genuinely nice dude. I mean, let's put it this way, Eddy seems like a pretty conscientious and perfectly intelligent dude and even he had no idea, and they frigging lived together for 2 years.
I may be a monster for feeling this way, but I dont think Gus is completely irredeemable for what he did. He was a young man that made a mistake based on selfish ambition. He could still change and become a better man. I dont believe in writing people off unless they've kvlled or messed with kids.
@@RabidDisposition I agree with you, but he hasn't proven it yet. His first video back about people exaggerating medical conditions and blocking people giving him criticism on Twitter (not even that harsh of criticism either in many cases) brought him farther away from redemption in my book. Really hope he grows the hell up.
‘if you have a take on the situation that you want to tell me, shut the fuck up, i know more than you’ that is the best and most concise way i’ve heard anyone explain what it must be like to be caught up in the crossfire of any type of ‘scandal’
@@lukejones1578 She put ads and a sponsor on the video, almost four years after the fact, because her ability to leech off Gus' popularity had come to an end, that's pretty evident
@@moistloaf3854 she put ads on the vid because like everyone else, she needs money to survive. Doesn't change what gus did to her and I can guarantee if she didn't have ads on the video you'd be looking for another excuse not to believe her. Grow the fuck up
God literally the week before all this came out I was thinking about positive and awesome the podcast was and I remember thinking "and the best part is it probably won't have a reason to end any time soon."
Wow I felt the exact same way about my last relationship/ current one. I never hated her once no matter what happened. Things were moving slowly in a better direction, we started a job and were going to work together. That day never came. Instead she disappeared only to lie to me about where she was that night. No matter the physical abuse or the mental abuse or even the emotional abuse I had to put up with, nothing changed my opinion of her. I always wanted to improve myself for her. I rarely got angry at her. She was/is everything to me. I never lost hope because she would always reassure me. I was completely blindsided.
Honestly this is extremely mature. Boys don't let boys mistreat people. Sucks having to cut off a friend but if Gus is ever going to grow as a person, he needs to face consequences for his actions.
I had to do this with one of my former best friends this year. Totally fucking sucks. Never thought he would do something like that. The whole situation really affected my mental health. I blocked him as soon as I heard what happened and haven't spoken to him since.
You comment comes across as Eddy not working with Gus anymore is Gus's punishment. But other than that, I agree I respect Eddy for not tolerating Gus's behavior and the way he handled the whole thing.
huge respect to Eddy for not supporting Gus just cause that was his best friend, what Sabrina went thru was horrible and the way Gus treated her was inexcusable, it’s not an instance where you can defend your buddy, he did the right thing it just sucks that it ended so sour
@@hunteryoung1025 his girlfriend, Sabrina went through an ectopic pregnancy, which can be life threatening and he basically didnt bother taking care of her to hang out and drink with friends, among other scummy behaviors.c
@@hunteryoung1025 he verbally abused and neglected sabrina for pretty much their whole relationship, really starting when she accidentally got pregnant, which was ectopic and therefore life threatening. he did not care for her properly post surgery and made her feel very guilty about being pregnant in the first place. later on, she got a nose surgery for medical purposes and had PTSD from her hospital stay from the pregnancy. gus once again neglected her during her recovery and instead chose to stream himself opening pokémon cards, all while telling people that sabrina was doing great. a few months after her ectopic pregnancy, gus had her perform in a skit with him and the premise was a gender reveal where he had her pretend she was pregnant. these are just a few of the things i remember off the top of my head, but as you can see he was very toxic and abusive to her
@@hunteryoung1025 Basically, she was left alone by him in a hospital with a life threatening pregnancy, he made her get an abortion, and while he was live streaming, she was texting him about needing him to help her through the pain of recently getting a nose job. During the stream, people asked him how she was doing, and he said “she’s fine, she’s doing great,” while simultaneously looking at her texts and calls for help with her pain. That’s a very short and concise summary of it all. Also, he admitted that all of this was true
@@assignedcatatbirth They say "don't meet your heroes" but holy fuck. I know some toxic dudes but that level of abusiveness is just something else. It's so hard to imagine Gus off camera being that kind of person, but it really does seem like it's the case.
@@brentnoury7626 so you’re telling me you watched that whole video, thought about it and decided she was seeking attention, and eddy is the one back stabbing for deciding not to support someone who was forcing his significant other to get an abortion while mentally manipulating her. What a bad take my guy, go touch some grass. Sorry your content got affected by peoples real lives, to be fair what goes on in their lives doesn’t concern you he’s doing a courtesy by being transparent, god forbid you don’t get your funny little RUclips videos anymore
I’m confused, how did Gus break it? Genuine question. He did some really crappy stuff a couple years ago, yes, but they started all this after it. I don’t understand how this relates.
Recently, Sabrina tweeted that she realized that she's finally happy. I'm so happy and relieved for her and I only want the best for her. I want Sabrina and Eddy to be able to move on with their lives and careers and so I'm glad that Eddy made a short address on this with the upmost respect for this community.
She’s finally happy but hasn’t expressed guilt that Eddy got stuck in the crossfire. By making this public she inadvertently fucked him over. I’d be pissed at both of them if I were Eddy, their dumb relationship drama put him in a position he didn’t deserve to be in
@@polarbearal agreed. Something about the whole thing rubs me the wrong way too. Until Gus comes out and makes his own video, (as he is kinda backed into a corner now to do so, or disappear from the internet..) we really only have 1 side of the story here, regardless.
@@tennenyt5311 most people do everyone does some crappy stuff at one point some worse than others but most of the time its something you can learn and grow from
@@polarbearal I kind of agree with you but keep in mind Sabrina and Eddy didn't know each other very well, and being in a rough relationship like theirs I'm sure Sabrina felt isolated and that Eddy would have defended Gus or gone silent about it. I think she made the right choice to go public about it either way because Eddy has proven to be a good person and that kept him away from any guilt by association. I don't think stuff like this can be boiled down to "stupid relationship drama" since Sabrina's situation was pretty intense. Best thing she could have done is show more support to Eddy, but in reality they were only mutual friends and she has no obligation to as she couldn't have even known how Eddy would react.
@@libbyh7391 if my best friend did something like this, I'd tell him and everyone what he did was wrong as heck. But I'd also stick by him and help him grow as a person. That's what best friends do. But like he said, he knows more than we do. Gus might have done way worse. But I'm judging by what we as an audience know he did. Wrong, sure. But how many of us can say we havent done orcsaid hurtful things before? Literally none of us
@@badascan8910 exactly how i feel. im really sad about what gus did, and no one is arguing that he was in the right. but if your best friend in the entire world made a huge mistake or acted super shitty, i dont feel like you should abandon them. you should stay friends with them and help them come to terms with why what they did was wrong and fucked up. im not defending gus' actions, but im also legitimately sad that eddy seems to be cutting ties completely. not making content with him anymore is a good move, but severing the friendship doesnt seem to be the best recourse. help gus understand that what he did was fucked up and that we all make mistakes. help him understand what the issue with his actions were. but its really sad to see a friendship end over this.
@@brentnoury7626 Your generation is cool with forcing your girlfriend to get an abortion then emotionally abusing her when she’s literally dying? Cool flex bro.
@@brentnoury7626 Why are you taking it so personally? You’re not involved in their lives. You have no idea what happened between them behind the scenes, you weren’t there. Gus is a big boy, I promise he can figure out his own shit. He definitely doesn’t need some stranger on the internet defending him for a situation they know next to nothing about. He’s not your friend, you can find someone else to watch jfc.
@@JC20XX when someone you thought you knew turns out to be trash, it's pretty hard to deal with, even if you aren't the person who was directly being harmed.
I know the feeling. My best friend at the time got drunk and thought his girlfriend was holding his phone, but she was holding hers. He almost choked her to death and it completely shocked me because this wasn’t the person I thought he was. I ended my friendship with him. During moments like this, when we see people who “act out of character” as we know them, it’s important to know that this IS their character. We just didn’t get to see it until now.
Man that’s such a stupid philosophy. Someone acting violent of angry once doesn’t mean “that’s who they are” like everyone has done something cancellable and just because they aren’t perfect angels all the time doesn’t mean their “out of character”.
@@liittlemiissd you’re an idiot. This is what enablers say so that the perpetual cycle of abusers can continue. Seems the subject of being a woman abuser has really struck a cord with you, wonder why…
@@liittlemiissd choking out your gf is never an okay response. it wasn’t like they were just mad and yelling. Also, your pfp is literally a cartoon of hitler so get your edgelord self outta here and stop trying to defend abusive behaviour.
@@vladvalo I felt the same towards Gus but clearly internet personas are personas, but Eddy does seem like he genuinely is a good guy and I really hope so!
I think so, and it shows that there might be more behind-the-scenes than even we know about. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, but regardless, at least Eddy was able to back away.
As someone who recently "broke up" with their best friend of over a decade of some stupid personal shit, I really feel for Eddy here, and hope he can move on to bigger and better things.
I really hope you get back together with your best friend. It's usually not worth it unless someone has done something seriously wrong. Like, I also had a huge argument with my closest friend a couple years ago and we didn't talk for 5 month because we're both stubborn. That's one of my biggest mistakes, so I really hope you two talk it out. Best of luck to you!
@@GoScience123 well, it's just a friendly advice. I never claimed to know more about their situation than they do. No need to be so hostile when I'm just trying to cheer up a person.
@@MrAzizYoureFired you may have intented it to be friendly but considering you know nothing about that person's relatiomship, it just sounds patronizing. We have no idea to what extent they were negatively affected by their ex-friend's actions (especially for a decade!), and to just assume their decision was as trivial as your own doesn't make any sense. I have a best friend that I've made up with after a temporary rough patch, and for the better - but I've also had very close friends who were horrible and toxic. They were emotionally and/or physically harmful to be around and I will never regret cutting ties with them. If you don't know what somone's situation is, you're not in a place to assume what's best for them.
@@MrAzizYoureFired don’t listen to these other commenters. You’re exactly right that it usually is not worth it and that’s all you’re saying. The person themselves said they broke up over something stupid, and that happens. Though, it shouldn’t if a relationship is worth it. People these days don’t take friendships or close relationships seriously anymore and it’s sad cuz a very close and genuine one is rare. Of COURSE if something happens that makes the relationship too far gone, like Eddy and Gus’ case, it’s meant to end. But friendships that end prematurely over stupid petty things, that may be dropped by one party but can’t seem to be dropped by the other is sad. The idea of “pride” today is bs. Pride shouldn’t mean walking away from a good friend and “winning” a fight because you have pride.
Major respect to Eddy and how he’s handled all of this. I think he’s doing his best to not make it about “whose side he’s on” and instead about the trust that Gus broke and how much damage he has done to their shared brand. Eddy has been with Gus through so much of his growth and development, and to see that it wasn’t what it seemed and that he hid behind this wholesome facade for so long must be heart breaking.
I’m looking forward to Eddy making more content. For a while I’ve been wanting more of just Eddy. Sure it sucks that that this situation has led to Eddy going solo, but it’s for the best.
I can understand why eddy doesn’t want to talk about this completely. I’ve had friends turn out to be horrible people, and it’s such a weird thing to go through, and it’s very uncomfortable, basically in a moment you lose a friend because of something they did that didn’t originally involve you, but because of the severity of it, it does involve you because you didn’t know that’s how they were. I probably explained that poorly, but it’s something that sucks to go through, and I have a feeling that he could be going through some mental stuff because of it. It’s hard to explain, but anyone who has had a friend who ended up being a horrible person knows what I’m talking about
It really is difficult. The cognitive dissonance is so hard to get through because you have this person who you love and respect, but then there’s this other version of them that does these awful things and it takes a long time to understand that it’s the same person
Oh man, as someone who went through something REALLY similar to what Sabrina went through, I'm happy to hear this. I know he must be in a lot of pain - it hurts to love someone and be so close to someone, and realize that they aren't who you thought they were.
Just horrendous. Incredibly saddened for Sabrina, eddy, and all of his friends he had the wool pulled over their eyes. Incredible how people like him can exist and no one be able to see it until it’s too late.
@@apollo1573 Bowblax has a video summarizing the whole drama but I gotta be honest: I watched it and all I learned was that Sabrina made a video that essentially accused Gus of being a neglectful boyfriend. Which sucks, if true. But since when is that cancel-worthy? Or did I miss the part where he claimed to be a love guru?
@@AdallynD Wrong. The Pokemon cards thing was *years later* while she was recovering from a nose job. See? You're so easily manipulated that you don't even know the actual timeline of the events you want to end a man's career over. Shameful.
Huge respect to him for doing the right thing and not just ‘sticking up for his buddy’ I didn’t go out of my way to watch Eddy before but from now I will be 100% making an effort to support his content going forward❤️
Lot's of guys always pull the "It's not my business, he was always good to me!" excuse. It's definitely refreshing to have someone who finally doesn't do that.
I, obviously, feel absolutely horrible for Sabrina but I feel terrible for Eddy as well. With how Eddy reacted and IMMEDIATELY supported Sabrina, it's pretty clear he had no idea what was going on and was blindsided by this breach in trust. Honestly this whole situation is terrible.
@@jonathanturbide2232 he also made her out to seem a villain, telling *her* that *she* was ruining *his* life :/ as if her almost fucking dying was an inconvenience to him filming dumbass videos
@@EtopiaCA Gus Johnson is a garbage excuse for a human being and you thinking that any word that might come out of his mouth still has any value is embarassing for you.
I'm proud of Eddy for this, he showed he was in the right person's corner (Sabrina) and I think it's better for him to grow on his own and forge a new path. I don't know how long Gus and Eddy were friends or if he knew about this but I'm guessing by his reaction he was probably just as shocked as the rest of us at this news. Finding out your best friend isn't who you thought is painful, but I'm glad he saw the situation for what it was and didn't just make excuses for Gus and keep the podcast going because it was lucrative for his career.
when u just walk back from someone - you are not a friend and you never was a friend. Eddy is a coward for me, he just do not want the trouble of his "friend" to influence his life. But this is only MY OPINION and I do not know the whole story. I just do not belive Sabrina and I quess she did not tell us all. And Gus does not want to share.
@@hamu08 about him... but I say she did not tell the whole story. And this was not single moment, they had to deal with this sh*t for quite a long time. Dont tell me she is saint and he was the only one to blame as it is never such thing in peoples relations. I know how sometimes one thing can lead to another and to another... and I know how ppl can manipulate just to even force someone to do something stupid. and just like that she reminds it all after 2-3 years? (I dont remember). Like out of fu*ng nowhere? Oh and just few weeks later she posted herself halfnaked like some kind of IG influencer... not related directly but it gives me some sork of picture of her as a person. Sorry... I am always the first to have doubts.
@@yourijpl even if she didn't tell the whole story, what she did tell was pretty damming, and he admitted to the actions, it's literally in the first line of his tweet about the situation. Also, what bringing up her instagram pictures has to do with the story? She's free to post whatever she wants, and that shouldn't invalidate her experience. Your sexism is showing my guy.
I find it kinda funny not many comments have mentioned this, but I really appreciate you posting this, I was wondering what Eddy was doing about this and hadn’t watched a stream in a bit. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! Yeah, I wanted more people to know about this, as I know not everyone watches his Twitch streams. Again, thank you for the support!!
@@MegaAnimaldoctor Seconded. Thank you for providing this shortcut to a very important question. And hopefully also a resource that will prevent him from clarifying the answer over and over again.
Man. This whole situation deeply troubles me on a personal level. Gus was someone I wanted to look up to. His videos got me through senior year of high school for heck's sake. His wholesome persona, friendship with eddy, relationship with someone he loved, and having a successful career in something that was his passion, was all something we all kind of wanted for ourselves, only for it to be a lie. I know we shouldn't look up to anybody on the internet or in general. And I know countless content creators have been cancelled before, but this one felt different right? It felt more personal somehow. Like everything we saw in his life was a lie. And I know online personas are different from real life but, his lies hurt people. He really let me and I'm sure a lot of people down. And his "apology" really rubbed it in.
this one felt different and way more personal than any ‘scandal’ before for me too. i think in part because he had a somewhat smaller audience and did such a personal, horrible thing to someone he claimed to love. the internet is obviously full of facades and you never really know anyone, but yeah this shit hit different for me too.
@@mckenzieklinefelter Right now, all I hope for is that Sabrina is okay. What he put her through...I cant even imagine the pain and distress. It changes a person. I know I wouldn't be able to come back from it.
I really feel for this comment. gus was absolutely one of my favorite creators, I showed my mom videos of his all the times and he'd have us in tears and talking abt how wonderful he is. and when I heard the news I was just so unreasonably hurt. I never was into David dobrik, I was way past my interest in Shane Dawson and already saw the signs, I never liked James Charles or the Pauls or Jeffree star, you get my point. every other major "cancelation campaign" never hurt me personally. sure, many of these people and their actions have repulsed me, but it never hurt me as a person. i always felt comfortable thinking abt how my fav creators aren't cancel worthy at all, gus being one of them. it truly felt like being hit with a bag of bricks. he is the least person in the world that I would expect to be a domestic abuser. this is extremely rambly its just all so upsetting. but on the brightside: gus admits to it (there is no he said she said), 99% of the internet is in agreement over believing Sabrina and dropping gus, Sabrina is safe, Sabrina and Eddy are moving on and still able to do what they love, and we'll still get Eddy content.
Saying Gus got "cancelled" is so stupid. The man could continue on like nothing happened if he so desired and the fact he isn't doing that shows him to have some shred of decency. The only time anyone ever gets """cancelled""" is when they do it to themselves.
Like we're not entitled to it, but i would so love if he had grown, and he could choose to do that. We'd support that! It would fit with what he preached so much better. He's like, broken our hearts parasocially speaking. It makes sense to feel bad. It's not even like, political like other "cancellations". It's who he is/was as a person in his closest relationship.
The first time my wife told me about ectopic pregnancies I lost my mind. I would quit my job if they stopped me from being with her during something like that.
@@tazatraz9613 yes and to add on for James, it’s what happened to Sabrina, and Gus repeatedly gaslit her about her symptoms and was not there to support her
Man i watched sabrinas video when it first came out and my dumb ass was thinking it was an ex before gus and "I'm so happy she's in a better relationship now" omfg
Having been through domestic abuse knowing eddy took this stance is very emotional for me because so often in media many people side with whoever they are friends with or who makes them money regardless of facts. Eddy clearly has a great head on his shoulders ,good for him. This is so important. Thank you Eddy.
I feel similarly. I wasn't a Gus subscriber, just watched him fttt; however, what happened to Sabrina has stayed with me ever since I watched her video. I don't even care that the boyfriend in the story was Gus; it was very disturbing behaviour, youtube celeb or not. And I've been afraid to read comments on videos about it, worried that people would dismiss and insult Sabrina, as it usually happens in such situations. But seeing Eddy's decision, and the comments here, makes me feel a bit relieved.
I 100% agree. Going through abuse is already traumatic, but seeing people defend and stick by your abuser makes it even worse. Tbh the fact that Eddy sacrificed their professional relationship and all the income and fame that comes from it because he simply cannot support Gus makes me respect him even more.
This kind of issue is not about him making the objectively "right" or "wrong" decision regarding his personal relationship. What matters is just what he feels is right for him personally.
indeed, even the worst kind of people still need people around them, and that wont happen if those people gets removed from every social interaction. And social isolation is usually a core issue with making mallicuos personal characteristics worse, so if everyone completely denies their humanity then you know
@@catboynestormakhno2694 however, we need more men calling out other men for their shitty behavior. Too often women are left to do that while men will claim to be “one of the good ones”, despite sitting by and watching their friends do and say awful things. The issue of isolation isn’t enough to make me feel bad because it is an environment of his own making. May he find other people of whom he can treat better with all the maturity he says he has gained since it all happened.
@@sameel3843 ofc ofc I'm not justifying any actions that are harmful just saying that the effects of social isolation very easily makes it worse on us all, you know that's how a lot of for example school shootings start, which does make it a rather vicious cycle, cause like Sabrina yeah no she probably should never talk to him again, someone like Eddy shouldn't platform them, they shouldn't seek out their company, but at the same time still treat them as if they are people not friends just people, which ofc also means if Gus harrases Eddy then he has everything ready and totally in his full right to completely ditch him
lol it very much matters that he did the correct thing here. if it felt right to him personally to continue being friends with Gus that would not be okay and he should be told so. fortunately that isn't the case
@@cashnelson2306 We don't have the right to decide who people want to keep in their lives especially since we don't know every side of the situation. Sure, Gus acted in an extremely toxic way in his relationship and people in his life should be holding him accountable for that behavior and push him to be better. Just because someone close to you did something wrong doesn't mean you need to immediately cut them out of your life or you are a bad person. If Eddy was condoning or making excuses for his behavior? Sure that would be sh*tty. People seem to be forgetting when looking at this situation that you can call a loved one out on their sh*t but still keep them in your life and continually push them to be better. And that is a choice everyone who is involved in Gus's life has the right to make. I think its stupid to say that would make someone a bad person
I feel so awful on all accounts. I used to love Gus's content and I used to fervently watch his new uploads. But when Sabrina released her video on the situation, I immediately dropped my support because I can't support someone who treats those close to them like garbage. I saw Eddy's Twitter post but seeing him speak out on it makes it feel even worse. Gus was his best friend and strongest business partner and he violated the trust and relationship they had by keeping the extent of his actions secret. You can tell Eddy was very hurt by it and cutting ties with someone who you had such a close bond with couldn't have been easy. I just hope Eddy can keep making content and doing the things he loves. Oh, and one more thing, fuck Gus.
Trash take. Another prime example of how biased and double standards everyone has. And I simply love how everyone's #1 excuse is "how secretive Sabrina and Gus were about their sex life"..why the fuck should anyone be public about their sex life.
It's heartbreaking because we all think of it as a podcast, as content, as sketches... but they're people, and Eddy is having to grapple with the emotional burden of losing a friend, but in public. People don't understand this, and that it's a raw and painful issue for Eddy. I've lost friends, in private, and it's a pain that lasts a long time. In public, where everyone expects you to constantly acknowledge and explain it, it's a million times harder.
And as he said in the clip, what hurts the most about this situation is he lost not only his friend, but the trust and respect for him too. I can't even begin to imagine how much that hurts
Oh, boohoo. Eddy decided to get involved in stupid Internet drama. Poor creature. Never mind the fact that he threw his friend under the bus rather than encouraging him to try to make things up and helping who are supposed to be his friends.
I can’t imagine what’s it’s like to just lose a friend like this. Gus is awful for what he did. But I feel bad for eddy. All the emotions he is feeing must be crazy.
Years ago someone in my friend circle was found to have done something even worse than what Gus is accused of, and everyone rightfully disowned the guy. We were all in disbelief, like, how could this guy we'd known for years turn out to be the worst type of person you can possibly be? It sucks but there are countless examples especially in the entertainment world of people who seem great in person but are absolute monsters behind the scenes.
I always knew Eddy was a good dude. I was a huge Gus Johnson fan and it really stabbed me in the heart to see that he was such a complete douchebag. Especially since I'm almost 15 years older than him and have been through the same type of stuff with my wife of almost 17 years. I always kind of had a better feeling about Eddy, he just seemed like a way nicer guy than Gus. I'm really glad that he came out on top because in all honesty I think Eddie is better than Gus. I hope he can return to just making his videos and live in peace. Gus is going to have to take it like a man, his career is over
I feel like a lot of people don't understand that real friends don't support everything you do. Most of the time, if a friend lets you act out and never gives you good advice, they don't care about you enough. Wounds from a sincere friend, are better than many kisses from an enemy. However, if I was in this situation, I don't know if I could completely cut a friend off, but I feel like it'd be hard to be close to them the way I was before.
If he was just a statistic like most of us are, there wouldn't really be that much repercussions by keeping the friendship, but since he is a public person and people are monstly against Gus, the right thing for Eddy to do to preserve his image is to cut ties. I'm not saying it is impossible for him to cut ties for any other reason or that it's solely to preserve himself, but it's very clear that doing so is benefitial in more than one way. It may or may not be what he totally wanted, but it's the best for his career.
@@doomsdaydreamer why would you want to keep a friendship like that though? I’ve cut off an extremely close friend before because he’d been abusing his partner. I can’t imagine ever staying friends with someone like that. Seriously, why would you try and preserve it? It just makes the victim feel awful and like you aren’t standing by them.
@@Ruth-of1ji If I love someone, they are kind to me, and can better their ways I will always love them. For me, love is unconditional. If someone managed to become my best friend, they deserve to have me support them. I may not support their actions, but I will always be there to support them as a person and help them grow.
@@kingexplosionmurderfuckoff9376 this is hella late but nah man, that's a nice way of thinking about things, but someone abusing their partner isn't something you can just go "oh, but they were kind to me, they can change for the better". And don't get me wrong, I'm the same way with people, but you have to draw the line after a certain point. I had a friend I'd known for nearly 10 years that crossed a line, and after a few discussions when we had both cooled down, I realized that we simply couldn't be friends anymore. They weren't the person I thought they were, and they thought I was wrong to be upset by their actions and was even confused by it. Basically, yes, people can change and need support to do so, but there are just some actions you can't just excuse and think you can help change them. You especially have no responsibility or reason to stick around if you did try to talk to them about the issue and it's clear that they don't think what they did was wrong and see no need in changing themselves. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.
I read your description and thank you so much for putting this up. I didn’t know about the situation given I’m only a casual fan of Gus and Eddy so thank you for putting it out there so I know not to support Gus in the future. I feel bad for Eddy it’s never fun losing a best friend especially so publicly like this. My heart goes out to Sabrina and I’m so glad she’s doing better.
It genuinely hurts hearing so bluntly that the podcast is never coming back. Especially since I can never rewatch old episodes without feeling super weird about it the whole time
My heart breaks for Eddie, not as much as for Sabrina obviously, but to find out someone you cared about, a friend you trusted turns out to be so awful. Especially where it's a constant collaborator and business partner. I'm glad he's made this move, I think he handled it very well, and I'm very glad to continue enjoying his content, and Sabrina's.
It must suck to have your professional work suddenly sucked into the abyss of someone else's relationship problems, especially on such a grand scale as abuse. It's good to know his perspective. Thanks for posting this.
it sucks that eddy has had to also involve himself with this even though the situation was not his fault in any way. don’t get me wrong i’m glad he’s spoken up against gus, however since he wasn’t the one who did anything it’s sad he has to keep addressing it.
@@MegaAnimaldoctor just read it, and I’m completely with you on this. There’s no excuse that can be made for Gus, and I wish Sabrina the best and I hope she lives a happy life. Eddy was put in an incredibly rough position and I fully support and commend the choice he made
You can truly feel the pain behind his voice. I’m sure a lot of you also have found comfort in them as a duo. I was recovering from an attempt and they really helped me so this has broken my heart and I really couldn’t imagine how it feels to be eddy im just happy eddy seems to be the real person he’s always been
End of an era, hate to see it but I completely understand why. I wish Eddy good luck with his solo stuff and the burback channel (I'll still be watching them but I still wish him good luck with them)
What you all fail to realize is while Sabrina did go through something awful, she was manipulative towards Gus and actively sought out ways to destroy his career all because they broke up and she didn't want to. They had been together in person for 2 months prior to the medical issue. She put all this onto Gus' shoulders and only his shoulders. He never abandoned her. He didn't "go out for drinks with the boys" He was constantly dealing with this health issue with Sabrina the whole time by her side. Things only went downhill for their relationship when she was fully dependent on him and he couldn't take it any more. The need for her to make this whole issue public is stemming from her feeling the need to get back at Gus because a few days prior to her publishing her very out of context and purposefully scathing remarks of Gus, she was at his house begging to get back together and he didn't want to. He had tried for 3 years past the medical issue to work things out with her all the while providing for her and taking care of her. Nobody in their right mind would want to get back into such a situation where they are depressed and constantly used like he was. Him not talking about it was due to him not wanting to hurt anyone involved, including eddy. Eddy heard problem and ran for the hills. He purposefully victimizes himself because of a woman who, while she did go through something awful, was just trying to ruin her ex's career because her ex wouldn't get back with her. Non of you have done any research clearly and need to stop this form of cancel culture and just assuming that everything said online is truth. Get both sides and maybe don't air your relationship problems online. Seek actual help. If she was in an abusive and neglectful relationship, she should have left, and when they did break up, nobody in their right mind would willing want to go back which she did and actively said she did. She was proven to be a liar multiple time both on twitter and on RUclips, within numerous interviews and posts she herself has made. Even within the video she originally posted, she contradicts herself 2-3 times alone. The original video from her is just blatantly attempting to hurt and harm Gus while not providing a fully flushed story and actively hiding things that were easily brought to light later. Y'all need to pay attention and just stop listening to this people when you very clearly forget they are human and have their own biases. Eddy very clearly hoped to gain some publicity from this because up until this, nobody really knew him outside of Gus. He threw Gus under the bus to benefit himself and play the victim. He never explains how he was hurt, or how this all was detrimental to him. Gus was the reason people saw him, he hated it, and when given an out and a way to pull ahead, he did not hesitate to drown Gus for his own gain. He will do the same thing if given the chance with Ted as well. And we all know it. He is a sidekick and will always remain so because he doesn't have enough personality on his own and has been that way since day one. He is constantly using others to better himself, and feeding into the cancel culture and victimizing himself to make himself appear better and more worthy that before. Enough said, stop just reading shit on the internet and thinking it the entire story or even half the truth.
Still waiting to find out how Gus broke the trust between him and EDDY. Nobody else, just him and Eddy. Feels extremely one sided, and someone trying to play victim, and I'm a fan of both of them.
@@PetSymmetry You would think Gus's friend would have tried to be aware of the situation prior to treating him like a piece of shit. If he had taken the time to talk with his friends instead of victimizing himself in a situation he ultimately had nothing to do with, maybe he might actually look like a decent guy, but reacting the way he did makes him seem like a piece of trash in my eyes. Your thinly veiled sarcasm shows you have very little understanding of the subject and are frankly inept at holding any form of intellectual and tense conversation. I wish you and all your shortcomings well.
Same shit I said everytime this shit was brought up, would’ve never stopped watching gus because for one, the situation was none of our business and it also wasn’t a big fucking deal to me tbh.
@@TheArchsage74and the situation she shared was 4 years old at the time but Gus still got crap for that. Can’t cherry pick what’s convenient for your bias here.
@@TheArchsage74This video is 2 years old, chill. If Gus can’t outlive being an immature boyfriend at a young age, then Eddie shouldn’t be able to outlive being a backstabbing friend.
honestly i hadn’t seen him talk about anything because i don’t get on streams much so i appreciate this and if there’s anything else he said on the issue i would appreciate it. i love eddy and am happy he’s back to making the content he and we all enjoy.
Fuck, I really hope Eddy decides to get back into podcasting at some point, maybe with Tony or something. Awesome to see any content he makes, and what he does is his prerogative, but damn there's an empty spot every week where the podcast used to go. Fucking sucks, they had such a good dynamic. Obviously that dynamic changes a lot tho when you find out that Gus's openness and genuine, humble and charming personality crumbles to dust as soon as his façade is breached.
I had absolutely NO idea about this whole situation. Thank you for posting this and explaining in the bio. I would have absolutely been someone who asked about it, unaware of how hurtful it would be. Love this dude, love Sabrina.
Yeah he's a coward. His whole career was launched through Gus, and he won't have his back even a little bit because a jaded ex-lover wanted to ruin Gus' career because he wouldn't get back together with her lmao
I don't usually like to have input in these things but I really appreciate how much it seems like Eddy's approach to this situation was to make decisions based on hearing Sabrina's side and believing and supporting her. That's ultimately how things change for the better.
Fuck. I had been a listener of the podcast since day one. As soon as the latest tour was announced, I bought tickets and made plans with my best friend to see Gus' show, got the VIP seats with the hopes of being able to shoot the shit with one of my favorite creators. I try to avoid drama and think following the personal lives of celebrities is a waste of time. When I first caught wind that something had happened, my reaction was "I'm sure more famous people have gotten away with much worse". I'd normally stick my head in the sand and "separate art from the artist" but after learning the whole picture, this situation... This hit different. It's left a bad taste in my mouth. I normally hate apology videos but the fact he hasn't addressed it in any meaningful way just makes things even worse. Boys support boys, and it's sad to see this fall from grace. I hope Eddy, Sabrina, Sven, Thor, and everyone in their circle is able to keep moving forward. And I hope down the line Gus owns up to things and can show he's grown.
I'm sure Eddy will get harassed again now that Gus has told his side. No idea what to think at this point. Never should have gone public in the first place, as much as the terminally online people love to have takes on people's personal relationships they actually know nothing about for sure.
Their content got me through my depression so letting go is tough. I can't imagine how difficult it is for Eddy to lose a friend like this. It's such an awful situation and I hope that everyone involved is doing better. It stings because Gus seemed like such a nice person and to find out about this makes me feel so hurt. Fuck Gus. We love you Eddy.
@@DewDewMegaDeeDee how? They both agreed on the abortion and then she wanted to renege. Then on top of that releases a vid bout it years after the fact. Eddy always seemed like the “backstab you when u have negative press” type just to protect what little fan base he has🤣
@@Mrmanatee47 but his behavior was shitty when he portrayed himself as the loveable goofball. Most of all, I'm just hurt by his actions and can never look at him the same.
@@DewDewMegaDeeDee that’s real life pal, no ones Internet personality is the same behind closed doors. “I’m hurt by his actions” ??? It’s not about how u feel. It was a private event in a private relationship. Yea she says he acted shitty, what girlfriend hasn’t said that before🤷♂️ plus she still dropped the vid years after the fact. Yea she didn’t name drop him but she knew what she was doing
I've been avoiding discourse on this whole Gus situation like the plague. It really sucks because i never saw it coming. reminiscing on it really ruins the fun content gus and eddy made before this. I guess the best thing I can get out of this situation is a lesson in parasocial relationships
Love you so much Eddy - you are incredible and I send you all the best wishes. I’m sorry you have to deal with all of this, but I appreciate your candor and forthcomingness. Love you a lot.
What a terrible friend. You’re seriously gonna leave a friend and partner because he didn’t divulge his girlfriend’s medical issues with you? Like that’s not his info to share. He just didn’t want to hurt his income. There’s a great video from Jimmy Robins on this situation, called “the interview that changed everything” That’s made me question a lot of this situation
Been having the pleasure of reading your well written comments on Jimmy's Robins video. I think your grasp on this situation is more thought out and researched than what most people's are.
Please go back to the guys and Eddy podcast, Eddy is the one that is always trying to appear as a saint. Even before this scandal I already called him Eddie goody two shoes, all his anecdotes are highlighting how good of a person he was. Even Feels like he used Gus to advance in his career
This makes me so sad for him (and Sabrina of course) imagine finding out the person you built your career with is an abusive POS. I hope Eddy finds all the success he deserves on his own
Huge respect to Eddy for not just talking the talk but actually believes what he preaches and holds himself to the same standard he expects everyone else to. Anyone who’s been watching him long enough know his stance on this type of abuse and I couldn’t have more respect for him for this.
(Ok tbh........eddy always made better content on his own anyways I’m sorry but it’s true. I’m so sorry to him for having to deal w the aftermath of this clusterfuck but I’m looking forward to having more Eddy/Tony content in my life)
I didn’t catch on that Sabrina completely manipulated the situation and public opinion until years after, but man this response never did sit well with me even while it was all still fresh. Never could bring myself to watch Eddie’s videos afterward. Something felt off and slimy.
Damn, didn't know they had split and that she was talking about Gus. Throughout that whole video I was thinking how glad I was that she was with a great person now. How wrong I was...
wow this comments section is cursed why tf did I come down here
I apologize for how much this comments section really has been cursed. I've made the intentional decision not to censor any comments, not only because it's not worth my time, but because I didn't want to target any particular type of comment here. I also thought there would be more of a supportive comments section for Eddy and Sabrina than there currently is, but there isn't, so I have to face the consequences. Unless a comment is truly, unbelievably disgusting and hateful and threatening and I am made aware of it (death threats, targeted comments, etc.), I'm not going to ban any comments in support of Gus. I think if nothing else, it's useful for people to see the true reaction to all of this, despite how I personally feel about the situation.
@@MegaAnimaldoctor I respect that decision completely
Because you disagree with it? So its cursed? Maybe you just eat up what you're spoon-fed, like a bitter ex who says she isn't ready for parenthood, states her intent to get an abortion, and then blames her ex for forcing her to get one. All while monetizing her smear campaign for profit. Pathetic.
@@cameronhirtle7316 None of what you said is true, and even if it was, it's not monetized.
@@N.Doughnut Provide some clarification please? Love to see you come up with that. It was monetized.
Whenever you find out someone did something horrible, everyone says “he always did rub me the wrong way” like bruh that shit pisses me off lmao. He seemed like a genuine great dude and that’s what hurts more. Knowing he’s not the good guy you thought he was at all.
Literally, ppl want to act like they saw it coming and usually you kind of can but with Gus I mean I genuinely never did and that crushed me as a viewer.
Ugh fr, people are like "I thought there was something off about him". Oh yeah, then why are y'all so bloody shocked then?
I honestly didn't get a hint of anything worse than maybe he was a bit flaky with friends and messy (but like, same), and that's why so many people are still in denial, he seemed like a genuinely nice dude.
I mean, let's put it this way, Eddy seems like a pretty conscientious and perfectly intelligent dude and even he had no idea, and they frigging lived together for 2 years.
I may be a monster for feeling this way, but I dont think Gus is completely irredeemable for what he did. He was a young man that made a mistake based on selfish ambition. He could still change and become a better man. I dont believe in writing people off unless they've kvlled or messed with kids.
@@RabidDisposition I agree with you, but he hasn't proven it yet. His first video back about people exaggerating medical conditions and blocking people giving him criticism on Twitter (not even that harsh of criticism either in many cases) brought him farther away from redemption in my book. Really hope he grows the hell up.
@@_lil_lil dont get me wrong, Gus is the biggest disappointment. Until he shows genuine growth he'll be nothing but a giant letdown in my book.
‘if you have a take on the situation that you want to tell me, shut the fuck up, i know more than you’ that is the best and most concise way i’ve heard anyone explain what it must be like to be caught up in the crossfire of any type of ‘scandal’

God literally the week before all this came out I was thinking about positive and awesome the podcast was and I remember thinking "and the best part is it probably won't have a reason to end any time soon."
You son of a bitch! You jinxed it. NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO
Cringe
@Rasta Goobers turns out… you were the cringe all along
Wow I felt the exact same way about my last relationship/ current one. I never hated her once no matter what happened. Things were moving slowly in a better direction, we started a job and were going to work together. That day never came. Instead she disappeared only to lie to me about where she was that night. No matter the physical abuse or the mental abuse or even the emotional abuse I had to put up with, nothing changed my opinion of her. I always wanted to improve myself for her. I rarely got angry at her. She was/is everything to me. I never lost hope because she would always reassure me. I was completely blindsided.
Same. I was in the process of working my way through every single episode and I was enjoying the hell out of it. idk if I can even finish it now
Honestly this is extremely mature. Boys don't let boys mistreat people. Sucks having to cut off a friend but if Gus is ever going to grow as a person, he needs to face consequences for his actions.
Dealing with the consequences of your actions doesn't mean what you think it means. Go outside.
@@user-fe8gx3ie5v What does it mean then?
I had to do this with one of my former best friends this year. Totally fucking sucks. Never thought he would do something like that. The whole situation really affected my mental health. I blocked him as soon as I heard what happened and haven't spoken to him since.
You comment comes across as Eddy not working with Gus anymore is Gus's punishment.
But other than that, I agree I respect Eddy for not tolerating Gus's behavior and the way he handled the whole thing.
@Nick Johnsen they were probably being deliberately vague because it sounds like a personal matter. leave them alone.
huge respect to Eddy for not supporting Gus just cause that was his best friend, what Sabrina went thru was horrible and the way Gus treated her was inexcusable, it’s not an instance where you can defend your buddy, he did the right thing it just sucks that it ended so sour
just curious because I’m not super familiar, what did Gus do that was so bad?
@@hunteryoung1025 his girlfriend, Sabrina went through an ectopic pregnancy, which can be life threatening and he basically didnt bother taking care of her to hang out and drink with friends, among other scummy behaviors.c
@@hunteryoung1025 he verbally abused and neglected sabrina for pretty much their whole relationship, really starting when she accidentally got pregnant, which was ectopic and therefore life threatening. he did not care for her properly post surgery and made her feel very guilty about being pregnant in the first place. later on, she got a nose surgery for medical purposes and had PTSD from her hospital stay from the pregnancy. gus once again neglected her during her recovery and instead chose to stream himself opening pokémon cards, all while telling people that sabrina was doing great. a few months after her ectopic pregnancy, gus had her perform in a skit with him and the premise was a gender reveal where he had her pretend she was pregnant. these are just a few of the things i remember off the top of my head, but as you can see he was very toxic and abusive to her
@@hunteryoung1025 Basically, she was left alone by him in a hospital with a life threatening pregnancy, he made her get an abortion, and while he was live streaming, she was texting him about needing him to help her through the pain of recently getting a nose job. During the stream, people asked him how she was doing, and he said “she’s fine, she’s doing great,” while simultaneously looking at her texts and calls for help with her pain. That’s a very short and concise summary of it all. Also, he admitted that all of this was true
@@assignedcatatbirth They say "don't meet your heroes" but holy fuck. I know some toxic dudes but that level of abusiveness is just something else. It's so hard to imagine Gus off camera being that kind of person, but it really does seem like it's the case.

Recently, Sabrina tweeted that she realized that she's finally happy. I'm so happy and relieved for her and I only want the best for her. I want Sabrina and Eddy to be able to move on with their lives and careers and so I'm glad that Eddy made a short address on this with the upmost respect for this community.
Also hope Gus can genuinely become a better person
She’s finally happy but hasn’t expressed guilt that Eddy got stuck in the crossfire. By making this public she inadvertently fucked him over. I’d be pissed at both of them if I were Eddy, their dumb relationship drama put him in a position he didn’t deserve to be in
@@polarbearal agreed. Something about the whole thing rubs me the wrong way too. Until Gus comes out and makes his own video, (as he is kinda backed into a corner now to do so, or disappear from the internet..) we really only have 1 side of the story here, regardless.

@@polarbearal I kind of agree with you but keep in mind Sabrina and Eddy didn't know each other very well, and being in a rough relationship like theirs I'm sure Sabrina felt isolated and that Eddy would have defended Gus or gone silent about it. I think she made the right choice to go public about it either way because Eddy has proven to be a good person and that kept him away from any guilt by association. I don't think stuff like this can be boiled down to "stupid relationship drama" since Sabrina's situation was pretty intense. Best thing she could have done is show more support to Eddy, but in reality they were only mutual friends and she has no obligation to as she couldn't have even known how Eddy would react.

@@MrAzizYoureFired don’t listen to these other commenters. You’re exactly right that it usually is not worth it and that’s all you’re saying. The person themselves said they broke up over something stupid, and that happens. Though, it shouldn’t if a relationship is worth it. People these days don’t take friendships or close relationships seriously anymore and it’s sad cuz a very close and genuine one is rare. Of COURSE if something happens that makes the relationship too far gone, like Eddy and Gus’ case, it’s meant to end. But friendships that end prematurely over stupid petty things, that may be dropped by one party but can’t seem to be dropped by the other is sad. The idea of “pride” today is bs. Pride shouldn’t mean walking away from a good friend and “winning” a fight because you have pride.
Major respect to Eddy and how he’s handled all of this. I think he’s doing his best to not make it about “whose side he’s on” and instead about the trust that Gus broke and how much damage he has done to their shared brand. Eddy has been with Gus through so much of his growth and development, and to see that it wasn’t what it seemed and that he hid behind this wholesome facade for so long must be heart breaking.
I’m looking forward to Eddy making more content. For a while I’ve been wanting more of just Eddy. Sure it sucks that that this situation has led to Eddy going solo, but it’s for the best.
He’s not going solo he’s got tonyyyy
agreed! i also look forward to seeing more of him and tony!
@@samdecker7937 You right
I can understand why eddy doesn’t want to talk about this completely. I’ve had friends turn out to be horrible people, and it’s such a weird thing to go through, and it’s very uncomfortable, basically in a moment you lose a friend because of something they did that didn’t originally involve you, but because of the severity of it, it does involve you because you didn’t know that’s how they were.
I probably explained that poorly, but it’s something that sucks to go through, and I have a feeling that he could be going through some mental stuff because of it. It’s hard to explain, but anyone who has had a friend who ended up being a horrible person knows what I’m talking about
You explained it great.
you did great on explaining imo maybe bcs i experienced it before, too
Yeah, still dealing with the after affects like 4 years later. Its crazy
It really is difficult. The cognitive dissonance is so hard to get through because you have this person who you love and respect, but then there’s this other version of them that does these awful things and it takes a long time to understand that it’s the same person
Its also just personal business that doesn't need to turn into some youtube drama for view.
Oh man, as someone who went through something REALLY similar to what Sabrina went through, I'm happy to hear this. I know he must be in a lot of pain - it hurts to love someone and be so close to someone, and realize that they aren't who you thought they were.
I hope your life is filled with better people and better things now, and wherever you will go from here. Good luck, stranger!
Just horrendous. Incredibly saddened for Sabrina, eddy, and all of his friends he had the wool pulled over their eyes. Incredible how people like him can exist and no one be able to see it until it’s too late.
What exactly did Gus do to cause this? I'm getting a lot of different answers and most people just keep yelling at me for not knowing.
@@CERTAIND00M same I just wanna know the situation without having to search RUclips videos for answers
@@apollo1573 Bowblax has a video summarizing the whole drama but I gotta be honest: I watched it and all I learned was that Sabrina made a video that essentially accused Gus of being a neglectful boyfriend. Which sucks, if true. But since when is that cancel-worthy? Or did I miss the part where he claimed to be a love guru?
@@CERTAIND00M he left her on what was almost her fucking death bed so he could stream pokemon cards, and then blamed her for both of their problems.
@@AdallynD Wrong. The Pokemon cards thing was *years later* while she was recovering from a nose job.
See? You're so easily manipulated that you don't even know the actual timeline of the events you want to end a man's career over. Shameful.
Huge respect to him for doing the right thing and not just ‘sticking up for his buddy’ I didn’t go out of my way to watch Eddy before but from now I will be 100% making an effort to support his content going forward❤️
Lot's of guys always pull the "It's not my business, he was always good to me!" excuse. It's definitely refreshing to have someone who finally doesn't do that.
I, obviously, feel absolutely horrible for Sabrina but I feel terrible for Eddy as well. With how Eddy reacted and IMMEDIATELY supported Sabrina, it's pretty clear he had no idea what was going on and was blindsided by this breach in trust. Honestly this whole situation is terrible.
What happened exactly? I used to be a big Gus Johnson fan, what did he do to Sabrina?

@@EtopiaCA Gus Johnson is a garbage excuse for a human being and you thinking that any word that might come out of his mouth still has any value is embarassing for you.
I'm proud of Eddy for this, he showed he was in the right person's corner (Sabrina) and I think it's better for him to grow on his own and forge a new path. I don't know how long Gus and Eddy were friends or if he knew about this but I'm guessing by his reaction he was probably just as shocked as the rest of us at this news. Finding out your best friend isn't who you thought is painful, but I'm glad he saw the situation for what it was and didn't just make excuses for Gus and keep the podcast going because it was lucrative for his career.
when u just walk back from someone - you are not a friend and you never was a friend. Eddy is a coward for me, he just do not want the trouble of his "friend" to influence his life.
But this is only MY OPINION and I do not know the whole story. I just do not belive Sabrina and I quess she did not tell us all. And Gus does not want to share.
@@yourijpl what the fuck are you talking about, there's nothing to "believe" here, he admitted himself that the video was about him
@@hamu08 about him... but I say she did not tell the whole story. And this was not single moment, they had to deal with this sh*t for quite a long time.

I know how sometimes one thing can lead to another and to another... and I know how ppl can manipulate just to even force someone to do something stupid.
and just like that she reminds it all after 2-3 years? (I dont remember). Like out of fu*ng nowhere?
Oh and just few weeks later she posted herself halfnaked like some kind of IG influencer... not related directly but it gives me some sork of picture of her as a person.

I find it kinda funny not many comments have mentioned this, but I really appreciate you posting this, I was wondering what Eddy was doing about this and hadn’t watched a stream in a bit. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! Yeah, I wanted more people to know about this, as I know not everyone watches his Twitch streams. Again, thank you for the support!!
@@MegaAnimaldoctor Seconded. Thank you for providing this shortcut to a very important question. And hopefully also a resource that will prevent him from clarifying the answer over and over again.
Man. This whole situation deeply troubles me on a personal level. Gus was someone I wanted to look up to. His videos got me through senior year of high school for heck's sake. His wholesome persona, friendship with eddy, relationship with someone he loved, and having a successful career in something that was his passion, was all something we all kind of wanted for ourselves, only for it to be a lie.
I know we shouldn't look up to anybody on the internet or in general. And I know countless content creators have been cancelled before, but this one felt different right? It felt more personal somehow. Like everything we saw in his life was a lie. And I know online personas are different from real life but, his lies hurt people. He really let me and I'm sure a lot of people down. And his "apology" really rubbed it in.
this one felt different and way more personal than any ‘scandal’ before for me too. i think in part because he had a somewhat smaller audience and did such a personal, horrible thing to someone he claimed to love. the internet is obviously full of facades and you never really know anyone, but yeah this shit hit different for me too.
@@mckenzieklinefelter Right now, all I hope for is that Sabrina is okay. What he put her through...I cant even imagine the pain and distress. It changes a person. I know I wouldn't be able to come back from it.
I really feel for this comment. gus was absolutely one of my favorite creators, I showed my mom videos of his all the times and he'd have us in tears and talking abt how wonderful he is. and when I heard the news I was just so unreasonably hurt.
I never was into David dobrik, I was way past my interest in Shane Dawson and already saw the signs, I never liked James Charles or the Pauls or Jeffree star, you get my point. every other major "cancelation campaign" never hurt me personally. sure, many of these people and their actions have repulsed me, but it never hurt me as a person. i always felt comfortable thinking abt how my fav creators aren't cancel worthy at all, gus being one of them. it truly felt like being hit with a bag of bricks. he is the least person in the world that I would expect to be a domestic abuser.
this is extremely rambly its just all so upsetting. but on the brightside: gus admits to it (there is no he said she said), 99% of the internet is in agreement over believing Sabrina and dropping gus, Sabrina is safe, Sabrina and Eddy are moving on and still able to do what they love, and we'll still get Eddy content.
Saying Gus got "cancelled" is so stupid. The man could continue on like nothing happened if he so desired and the fact he isn't doing that shows him to have some shred of decency. The only time anyone ever gets """cancelled""" is when they do it to themselves.
Like we're not entitled to it, but i would so love if he had grown, and he could choose to do that. We'd support that! It would fit with what he preached so much better.
He's like, broken our hearts parasocially speaking. It makes sense to feel bad. It's not even like, political like other "cancellations". It's who he is/was as a person in his closest relationship.
It feels like we’re in the bad timeline
Does feel very worst timeliney doesn’t it
Definitely
Yeah but this one's got Dippin' Dots.
The first time my wife told me about ectopic pregnancies I lost my mind. I would quit my job if they stopped me from being with her during something like that.
What is that
@@james9592 It is when the fetus attaches itself to organs outside the womb. It's highly dangerous and if it ruptures the woman dies
@@tazatraz9613 yes and to add on for James, it’s what happened to Sabrina, and Gus repeatedly gaslit her about her symptoms and was not there to support her
It had already ruptured in her case as well... And he just wanted to go get a drink with his buddies lol
I always thought of them as a duo and the events that transpired leading up to this, and this, is so sad. Eddy is smart and way better tho.
I hope Eddy and Tony start a podcast together, I feel like that would be a really fun podcast to listen to
I agree, that would be really fun!
I also wouldn't fault Eddy if he chooses to take a break from podcasting for awhile either. I just wanna support him best I can
If WE feel betrayed and taken aback imagine being the guy who worked and lived with Gus for YEARS. Can’t imagine it. Honestly I’d be devastated
Man i watched sabrinas video when it first came out and my dumb ass was thinking it was an ex before gus and "I'm so happy she's in a better relationship now" omfg
Lol you need an update on the situation
@@gjbsarmeri3957 something new happened or?
@@BroadwayBaby1221 Yeah it turned out that she lied about a lot of things. I think tomdark made a video about it like 2 months ago
It hurts. Just because you love someone doesn't mean you can make them a good person.
Having been through domestic abuse knowing eddy took this stance is very emotional for me because so often in media many people side with whoever they are friends with or who makes them money regardless of facts. Eddy clearly has a great head on his shoulders ,good for him. This is so important. Thank you Eddy.
I feel similarly. I wasn't a Gus subscriber, just watched him fttt; however, what happened to Sabrina has stayed with me ever since I watched her video. I don't even care that the boyfriend in the story was Gus; it was very disturbing behaviour, youtube celeb or not. And I've been afraid to read comments on videos about it, worried that people would dismiss and insult Sabrina, as it usually happens in such situations. But seeing Eddy's decision, and the comments here, makes me feel a bit relieved.
@@shacka95???
I 100% agree. Going through abuse is already traumatic, but seeing people defend and stick by your abuser makes it even worse. Tbh the fact that Eddy sacrificed their professional relationship and all the income and fame that comes from it because he simply cannot support Gus makes me respect him even more.
This kind of issue is not about him making the objectively "right" or "wrong" decision regarding his personal relationship. What matters is just what he feels is right for him personally.
indeed, even the worst kind of people still need people around them, and that wont happen if those people gets removed from every social interaction. And social isolation is usually a core issue with making mallicuos personal characteristics worse, so if everyone completely denies their humanity then you know
@@catboynestormakhno2694 however, we need more men calling out other men for their shitty behavior. Too often women are left to do that while men will claim to be “one of the good ones”, despite sitting by and watching their friends do and say awful things. The issue of isolation isn’t enough to make me feel bad because it is an environment of his own making. May he find other people of whom he can treat better with all the maturity he says he has gained since it all happened.
@@sameel3843 ofc ofc I'm not justifying any actions that are harmful just saying that the effects of social isolation very easily makes it worse on us all, you know that's how a lot of for example school shootings start, which does make it a rather vicious cycle, cause like Sabrina yeah no she probably should never talk to him again, someone like Eddy shouldn't platform them, they shouldn't seek out their company, but at the same time still treat them as if they are people not friends just people, which ofc also means if Gus harrases Eddy then he has everything ready and totally in his full right to completely ditch him
lol it very much matters that he did the correct thing here. if it felt right to him personally to continue being friends with Gus that would not be okay and he should be told so. fortunately that isn't the case
@@cashnelson2306 We don't have the right to decide who people want to keep in their lives especially since we don't know every side of the situation. Sure, Gus acted in an extremely toxic way in his relationship and people in his life should be holding him accountable for that behavior and push him to be better. Just because someone close to you did something wrong doesn't mean you need to immediately cut them out of your life or you are a bad person. If Eddy was condoning or making excuses for his behavior? Sure that would be sh*tty. People seem to be forgetting when looking at this situation that you can call a loved one out on their sh*t but still keep them in your life and continually push them to be better. And that is a choice everyone who is involved in Gus's life has the right to make. I think its stupid to say that would make someone a bad person
I feel so awful on all accounts. I used to love Gus's content and I used to fervently watch his new uploads. But when Sabrina released her video on the situation, I immediately dropped my support because I can't support someone who treats those close to them like garbage. I saw Eddy's Twitter post but seeing him speak out on it makes it feel even worse. Gus was his best friend and strongest business partner and he violated the trust and relationship they had by keeping the extent of his actions secret. You can tell Eddy was very hurt by it and cutting ties with someone who you had such a close bond with couldn't have been easy. I just hope Eddy can keep making content and doing the things he loves.
Oh, and one more thing, fuck Gus.
I completely agree with that. What a horrible situation for everyone involved and I hope that Eddy can move on from all of this.
MAGA
@@chillyoil528 why aren’t you like this

Another prime example of how biased and double standards everyone has.

@@brucebonner3491 Who hurt you, Bruce?
It's heartbreaking because we all think of it as a podcast, as content, as sketches... but they're people, and Eddy is having to grapple with the emotional burden of losing a friend, but in public. People don't understand this, and that it's a raw and painful issue for Eddy. I've lost friends, in private, and it's a pain that lasts a long time. In public, where everyone expects you to constantly acknowledge and explain it, it's a million times harder.
And as he said in the clip, what hurts the most about this situation is he lost not only his friend, but the trust and respect for him too. I can't even begin to imagine how much that hurts
Oh, boohoo. Eddy decided to get involved in stupid Internet drama. Poor creature. Never mind the fact that he threw his friend under the bus rather than encouraging him to try to make things up and helping who are supposed to be his friends.
@@user-fe8gx3ie5v So you'd rather him help Gus to lie than to do the right thing and stop being friends?

Years ago someone in my friend circle was found to have done something even worse than what Gus is accused of, and everyone rightfully disowned the guy. We were all in disbelief, like, how could this guy we'd known for years turn out to be the worst type of person you can possibly be? It sucks but there are countless examples especially in the entertainment world of people who seem great in person but are absolute monsters behind the scenes.

I always knew Eddy was a good dude. I was a huge Gus Johnson fan and it really stabbed me in the heart to see that he was such a complete douchebag. Especially since I'm almost 15 years older than him and have been through the same type of stuff with my wife of almost 17 years. I always kind of had a better feeling about Eddy, he just seemed like a way nicer guy than Gus. I'm really glad that he came out on top because in all honesty I think Eddie is better than Gus. I hope he can return to just making his videos and live in peace. Gus is going to have to take it like a man, his career is over
What did gus do exactly? Or could u drop a link to a video that explains it? I loved these guys chemistry man this sucks
@@savion29 I would just look it up you'll find out easily
@@yoissy I found it nvm
Career over really?
I feel like a lot of people don't understand that real friends don't support everything you do. Most of the time, if a friend lets you act out and never gives you good advice, they don't care about you enough. Wounds from a sincere friend, are better than many kisses from an enemy. However, if I was in this situation, I don't know if I could completely cut a friend off, but I feel like it'd be hard to be close to them the way I was before.
If he was just a statistic like most of us are, there wouldn't really be that much repercussions by keeping the friendship, but since he is a public person and people are monstly against Gus, the right thing for Eddy to do to preserve his image is to cut ties. I'm not saying it is impossible for him to cut ties for any other reason or that it's solely to preserve himself, but it's very clear that doing so is benefitial in more than one way. It may or may not be what he totally wanted, but it's the best for his career.
@@doomsdaydreamer why would you want to keep a friendship like that though? I’ve cut off an extremely close friend before because he’d been abusing his partner. I can’t imagine ever staying friends with someone like that. Seriously, why would you try and preserve it? It just makes the victim feel awful and like you aren’t standing by them.
@@Ruth-of1ji If I love someone, they are kind to me, and can better their ways I will always love them. For me, love is unconditional. If someone managed to become my best friend, they deserve to have me support them. I may not support their actions, but I will always be there to support them as a person and help them grow.
@@kingexplosionmurderfuckoff9376 this is hella late but nah man, that's a nice way of thinking about things, but someone abusing their partner isn't something you can just go "oh, but they were kind to me, they can change for the better". And don't get me wrong, I'm the same way with people, but you have to draw the line after a certain point. I had a friend I'd known for nearly 10 years that crossed a line, and after a few discussions when we had both cooled down, I realized that we simply couldn't be friends anymore. They weren't the person I thought they were, and they thought I was wrong to be upset by their actions and was even confused by it.
Basically, yes, people can change and need support to do so, but there are just some actions you can't just excuse and think you can help change them. You especially have no responsibility or reason to stick around if you did try to talk to them about the issue and it's clear that they don't think what they did was wrong and see no need in changing themselves. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.
I read your description and thank you so much for putting this up. I didn’t know about the situation given I’m only a casual fan of Gus and Eddy so thank you for putting it out there so I know not to support Gus in the future. I feel bad for Eddy it’s never fun losing a best friend especially so publicly like this. My heart goes out to Sabrina and I’m so glad she’s doing better.
It genuinely hurts hearing so bluntly that the podcast is never coming back.
Especially since I can never rewatch old episodes without feeling super weird about it the whole time
Holy shit. Damn I just gained so much fucking respect for eddy.

My heart breaks for Eddie, not as much as for Sabrina obviously, but to find out someone you cared about, a friend you trusted turns out to be so awful. Especially where it's a constant collaborator and business partner. I'm glad he's made this move, I think he handled it very well, and I'm very glad to continue enjoying his content, and Sabrina's.

End of an era, hate to see it but I completely understand why. I wish Eddy good luck with his solo stuff and the burback channel (I'll still be watching them but I still wish him good luck with them)
it's just so easy for him to not share any details and answer all the questions with "stfu I know more than you"
What you all fail to realize is while Sabrina did go through something awful, she was manipulative towards Gus and actively sought out ways to destroy his career all because they broke up and she didn't want to. They had been together in person for 2 months prior to the medical issue. She put all this onto Gus' shoulders and only his shoulders. He never abandoned her. He didn't "go out for drinks with the boys" He was constantly dealing with this health issue with Sabrina the whole time by her side. Things only went downhill for their relationship when she was fully dependent on him and he couldn't take it any more. The need for her to make this whole issue public is stemming from her feeling the need to get back at Gus because a few days prior to her publishing her very out of context and purposefully scathing remarks of Gus, she was at his house begging to get back together and he didn't want to. He had tried for 3 years past the medical issue to work things out with her all the while providing for her and taking care of her. Nobody in their right mind would want to get back into such a situation where they are depressed and constantly used like he was. Him not talking about it was due to him not wanting to hurt anyone involved, including eddy. Eddy heard problem and ran for the hills. He purposefully victimizes himself because of a woman who, while she did go through something awful, was just trying to ruin her ex's career because her ex wouldn't get back with her. Non of you have done any research clearly and need to stop this form of cancel culture and just assuming that everything said online is truth. Get both sides and maybe don't air your relationship problems online. Seek actual help. If she was in an abusive and neglectful relationship, she should have left, and when they did break up, nobody in their right mind would willing want to go back which she did and actively said she did. She was proven to be a liar multiple time both on twitter and on RUclips, within numerous interviews and posts she herself has made. Even within the video she originally posted, she contradicts herself 2-3 times alone. The original video from her is just blatantly attempting to hurt and harm Gus while not providing a fully flushed story and actively hiding things that were easily brought to light later. Y'all need to pay attention and just stop listening to this people when you very clearly forget they are human and have their own biases. Eddy very clearly hoped to gain some publicity from this because up until this, nobody really knew him outside of Gus. He threw Gus under the bus to benefit himself and play the victim. He never explains how he was hurt, or how this all was detrimental to him. Gus was the reason people saw him, he hated it, and when given an out and a way to pull ahead, he did not hesitate to drown Gus for his own gain. He will do the same thing if given the chance with Ted as well. And we all know it. He is a sidekick and will always remain so because he doesn't have enough personality on his own and has been that way since day one. He is constantly using others to better himself, and feeding into the cancel culture and victimizing himself to make himself appear better and more worthy that before. Enough said, stop just reading shit on the internet and thinking it the entire story or even half the truth.
Still waiting to find out how Gus broke the trust between him and EDDY. Nobody else, just him and Eddy. Feels extremely one sided, and someone trying to play victim, and I'm a fan of both of them.
Ah thank you, I’m fascinated you know more about the situation than Gus’s best friend prior to this coming to light. You have truly opened my eyes.
@@PetSymmetry You would think Gus's friend would have tried to be aware of the situation prior to treating him like a piece of shit. If he had taken the time to talk with his friends instead of victimizing himself in a situation he ultimately had nothing to do with, maybe he might actually look like a decent guy, but reacting the way he did makes him seem like a piece of trash in my eyes.

Fuck, I really hope Eddy decides to get back into podcasting at some point, maybe with Tony or something. Awesome to see any content he makes, and what he does is his prerogative, but damn there's an empty spot every week where the podcast used to go. Fucking sucks, they had such a good dynamic. Obviously that dynamic changes a lot tho when you find out that Gus's openness and genuine, humble and charming personality crumbles to dust as soon as his façade is breached.

Man what a strange world we live in
Couldn't agree more.
It's such an upsetting situation, I'm happy that Eddy is able to move on and is getting all the support he deserves
Chucked his boy under the bus with a quickness, wow.
Yeah this is really sad knowing that gus was largely innocent. He threw his best friend to the dogs immediately
Yeah he's a coward. His whole career was launched through Gus, and he won't have his back even a little bit because a jaded ex-lover wanted to ruin Gus' career because he wouldn't get back together with her lmao
@@PurgPurg I'm convinced these content creator types don't have friends
@@PurgPurgand good on him
This just sucks in every way. I’m sorry for everyone that had to go through all of it. The whole situation is terrible.
I don't usually like to have input in these things but I really appreciate how much it seems like Eddy's approach to this situation was to make decisions based on hearing Sabrina's side and believing and supporting her. That's ultimately how things change for the better.
Fuck. I had been a listener of the podcast since day one. As soon as the latest tour was announced, I bought tickets and made plans with my best friend to see Gus' show, got the VIP seats with the hopes of being able to shoot the shit with one of my favorite creators.
I try to avoid drama and think following the personal lives of celebrities is a waste of time. When I first caught wind that something had happened, my reaction was "I'm sure more famous people have gotten away with much worse". I'd normally stick my head in the sand and "separate art from the artist" but after learning the whole picture, this situation... This hit different. It's left a bad taste in my mouth. I normally hate apology videos but the fact he hasn't addressed it in any meaningful way just makes things even worse.
Boys support boys, and it's sad to see this fall from grace. I hope Eddy, Sabrina, Sven, Thor, and everyone in their circle is able to keep moving forward. And I hope down the line Gus owns up to things and can show he's grown.
It's seems like he cares more about appearing like a decent person than actually being one.
Thank you for uploading this, it's nice to hear this once and for all. Seriously.
I'm sure Eddy will get harassed again now that Gus has told his side. No idea what to think at this point. Never should have gone public in the first place, as much as the terminally online people love to have takes on people's personal relationships they actually know nothing about for sure.
Their content got me through my depression so letting go is tough. I can't imagine how difficult it is for Eddy to lose a friend like this. It's such an awful situation and I hope that everyone involved is doing better. It stings because Gus seemed like such a nice person and to find out about this makes me feel so hurt. Fuck Gus. We love you Eddy.
Just trust the people who say the comments section is terrible. It is that bad.
As long as i can remember its always been gus and eddy, eddy must be heartbroken and betrayed man.
The saddest part is they had so many great guests lined up but his ruined it by being a horrible person
We Stan Eddy 'round these parts!
Gus is funnier…yikes😂
@@Mrmanatee47 and shittier. Yikes.
@@DewDewMegaDeeDee how? They both agreed on the abortion and then she wanted to renege. Then on top of that releases a vid bout it years after the fact. Eddy always seemed like the “backstab you when u have negative press” type just to protect what little fan base he has🤣
@@Mrmanatee47 but his behavior was shitty when he portrayed himself as the loveable goofball. Most of all, I'm just hurt by his actions and can never look at him the same.
@@DewDewMegaDeeDee that’s real life pal, no ones Internet personality is the same behind closed doors. “I’m hurt by his actions” ??? It’s not about how u feel. It was a private event in a private relationship. Yea she says he acted shitty, what girlfriend hasn’t said that before🤷♂️ plus she still dropped the vid years after the fact. Yea she didn’t name drop him but she knew what she was doing
I've been avoiding discourse on this whole Gus situation like the plague. It really sucks because i never saw it coming. reminiscing on it really ruins the fun content gus and eddy made before this. I guess the best thing I can get out of this situation is a lesson in parasocial relationships
Hindsight really makes this look so gross
why?
Love you so much Eddy - you are incredible and I send you all the best wishes. I’m sorry you have to deal with all of this, but I appreciate your candor and forthcomingness. Love you a lot.
What a terrible friend. You’re seriously gonna leave a friend and partner because he didn’t divulge his girlfriend’s medical issues with you? Like that’s not his info to share. He just didn’t want to hurt his income. There’s a great video from Jimmy Robins on this situation, called “the interview that changed everything” That’s made me question a lot of this situation
Been having the pleasure of reading your well written comments on Jimmy's Robins video. I think your grasp on this situation is more thought out and researched than what most people's are.
Please go back to the guys and Eddy podcast, Eddy is the one that is always trying to appear as a saint. Even before this scandal I already called him Eddie goody two shoes, all his anecdotes are highlighting how good of a person he was. Even Feels like he used Gus to advance in his career
It’s crazy that after everything has come out and Gus is innocent it’s crazy to see eddy’s reaction to it all
I know right? After I saw the Jimmy Robins video where Sabrina lied I was genuinely upset at these people.
He literally admitted to it but go off
@@jayrose2933He admitted to making mistakes in general. That's not an admission of guilt to all the claims against him.
I saw a comment on Gus's new video that is very funny
"Gus's break from social media was shorter than Eddie's normal upload schedule"
This whole Danny Gonzales, Burback, Kurtis Conner clique of creators is so disingenuous
the hell did daniel do??
@@colorblockpoprocks6973 Let his audience step all over him; bro really apologized for drinking a coffee.
I like drew Gooden.
Time for the Jakey & Eddy Podcast
This makes me so sad for him (and Sabrina of course) imagine finding out the person you built your career with is an abusive POS. I hope Eddy finds all the success he deserves on his own
I only found out about this a couple days ago. Thanks for this video, I'm glad to know Eddys POV.
Imagine fucking up so royally that your best friend doesn’t even want to say your name anymore. No pun intended, but yikes.
Eddy is the most goated male feminist snakeman I’ve ever laid my eyes on so I wouldn’t take it to actually mean anything
@@shacka95 you sound like a redditor
@@meowtaindewd I’m just old. You sound self centered
@@meowtaindewd FYI if you actually go on Reddit in 2021 it sounds more like people like you
Huge respect to Eddy for not just talking the talk but actually believes what he preaches and holds himself to the same standard he expects everyone else to. Anyone who’s been watching him long enough know his stance on this type of abuse and I couldn’t have more respect for him for this.
Aw that poor guy, the situation he’s in suuuuuuucks. Being a comedy content creator like myself, i can’t even begin to imagine what that must be like
(Ok tbh........eddy always made better content on his own anyways I’m sorry but it’s true. I’m so sorry to him for having to deal w the aftermath of this clusterfuck but I’m looking forward to having more Eddy/Tony content in my life)
I didn’t catch on that Sabrina completely manipulated the situation and public opinion until years after, but man this response never did sit well with me even while it was all still fresh. Never could bring myself to watch Eddie’s videos afterward. Something felt off and slimy.
Same. It just feels like he used Gus and threw him away for views. They both did.
The Tony and Eddy Podcast
Tbh it would be much more entertaining.
Damn, didn't know they had split and that she was talking about Gus. Throughout that whole video I was thinking how glad I was that she was with a great person now. How wrong I was...
