If you haven’t seen the new Try Guys video here’s a run down:
•Eugene looks so incredibly pissed off the entire time and has to pause while talking once because he’s so mad
•Keith looks exhausted
•Zach’s voice breaks at one point and he clearly tears up
•they found out about the affair over Labor Day weekend when fans contacted them. They immediately suspended Ned and worked with lawyers and an HR rep to conduct a thorough review. During this time, they edited Ned out of content (they greatly thanked their staff several times).
•Based on this review they officially removed Ned on September 16.
•they had plans to release a bigger better statement but the internet got ahead of them. They are still working on that statement.
•they will be editing Ned out of anything pre-filmed but there is content that is forever lost because of Ned’s involvement.
•they acknowledge how sexist the internet can be and asked for people to think about what they post. They also ask for privacy and understanding for their staff and the family impacted.
•they will continue moving forward with a new era of the Try Guys
The more I listen to the TryPod the less I could understand this happening.
The fact that these three men have so much professionalism, that their first and only thoughts were ‘how do we do this right’, the fact that they held it together for weeks to preserve everyone around them while even on tour.. it just baffles me
Eugene, Keith, and Zach are so professional and emotionally mature that it really just blows my mind that Ned could not even extend 1% of the same courtesy to them. To do something so unprofessional and selfish and still look at the three of them and consider yourself a part of their ‘team’.
It really shows the difference in character between Ned and the True Try Guys. Wow.
Eugene is chewing on his tongue and is clearly holding back some real rage, Zach is on the verge of tears, and Keith is in Full Professional mode.
In terms of responses, they could've done a lot worse. It was an honest, succinct and straightforward statement. You can tell Ned's actions, and the subsequent decision to fire him, really impacted all of them.
