The Try Guys FIRE Ned Fulmer for CHEATING on his wife...

[peaches]

As the guy who built his label around being the "my wife"-guy,
This is kinda sad.
Hoping Ariel and the kids are ok and I hope they recover from this.

[lilsappling]

what’s even more sad is this year is Ned and Ariel’s 10 year wedding anniversary

[eringomez-watters]

I think the worst part is: the way she found out. She’s probably embarrassed beyond belief. She has no reason to be embarrassed but I can put myself in her shoes and my heart hurts for her.

Ned has not only marketed himself as the "i love my wife" guy but he monetized off this branding with making cookbooks, target sponsorship, podcast etc etc. It's so disappointing. And no, having an affair is not "losing focus", he chose to cheat.

Im happy all support is going to Ariel, i hope Will gets more too! And im proud of the try guys for not letting their friendship with Ned get in the way in doing the moral thing.

Ned really disappointed everyone. He became well-known for treating his wife like a goddess and mentioning her so many times. To the point where “My Wife” became a quote that people started saying in his sake. I feel bad for both Will and Ariel and her kids. They’re strong individuals. Sending luck and love to them both <3

I feel so bad for Ariel. Getting cheated on is bad enough. But a public scandal when you have kids is literally so sad.

I’m happy how Keith, Zach, and Eugene didn’t stick up with Ned because he’s their best friend. They held him accountable for his actions

[MrFuggleGuggle]

If a guy who literally was known as the ‘my wife’ guy can’t keep a monogamous marriage commitment, what hope do any of us have?…

Ariel removing the “neds wife” part of her Instagram bio was 💀

[cauliflowerducks]

Thank you for blurring the child’s faces and not using their names! Immediately made me have so much respect for you. I’ve always found it kinda unsettling when third parties feature creator’s children, even if the creators share them themselves

Technically he was fired for violating company rules and starting a relationship with one of his employees. Ned was in a position of power over Alex, and she could now say she was coerced and sue Ned AND the company if they fire her. Sure, the guys love Ariel and the kids, but that's not why they fired Ned. He just put the whole company at incredible risk.

I think Alex will quit on her own (I can't imagine ever wanting to go back to an office where everybody knows I slept with the boss), but legally the company can't fire her unless they want a lawsuit on their hands. She could say she was coerced into a relationship, and that the company fired her in retaliation.

IF Alex sues, this of course creates a dangerous precedent for the company. Other employees could do the same in the future if they ever get fired or feel they were treated unfairly. One look at the company and any judge will see sexual misconduct/coercion/abuse of power/retaliation in its history.

Ned didn't just fuck up his marriage. The whole company is risking everything right now. That's why he was fired.

Jada: I had an entanglement.
Adam: I crossed the line.
Ned: I had a consensual workplace relationship.

[rytyc]

Can you imagine the discussion the try guys had to have with each other. The devastation.

[linhl]

I'm always faulting and blaming the spouse and not the other person. This is different. People claim there was a superior control dynamic, but Alex isn't a 20 year old just stepping into the work field. She is experienced. She's engaged. For a flipping decade. And worst? They ALL knew each other (Ariel and the fiance included). If not as professional/personal friends then at least as acquaintances. Ned and Alex didn't just randomly meet at a bar and struck up a conversation.

[ShearGenius]

Also, Ned’s whole brand being “married dude who loves his wife” means once that falls apart, he’s got nothing. And he’s a liability to the company in more ways than one.

[magicraccoons]

Apparently Ariel was already insecure that she was older than Ned and the fact he cheated with a girl much younger is so upsetting.

[cleon]

Ned: “I love my wife!”
Also Ned: “I hAd a CoNsEnSuAl wOrKpLaCe rELaNtIoNsHip.”

[gumdropolis]

Im surprised more people aren’t talking about Alex’s role in this either. She was ENGAGED and apparently would tell anyone who would listen that she was cheating on her fiancé. I think it’s vile that both of them had extremely committed relationships that they chose to jeopardize. It makes me so upset.

[rubenlopez]

the way ned would always mention his wife and marriage too…like you literally wouldn’t have expected this

[starzeeyy]

The way I gasped when I read that title, I never expected that from Ned, knowing damn well he treated his wife very nice.
Wishing the best for Ariel and her kids.
