The Try Guys' Ned Fulmer fired from YouTube group after cheating on wife Ariel with producer

'Family should have always been my priority, but I lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship,' wrote Fulmer following the scandal

The Try Guys are now going to be a trio. On September 27, the group, which was started by former BuzzFeed employees Ned Fulmer, Eugene Lee Yang, Keith Habersberger, and Zach Kornfeld and rose to fame for trying out weird and wacky things, fired Fulmer following his cheating scandal with producer Alex Herring.

Announcing the exit on social media platforms including Twitter and Instagram, the popular YouTube group wrote, "Ned Fulmer is no longer working with The Try Guys. As a result of a thorough internal review, we do not see a path forward together. We thank you for your support as we navigate this change." Fulmer, 35, also shared a statement confirming suspicions of infidelity. He said, "Family should have always been my priority, but I lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship. I’m sorry for any pain that my actions may have caused to the guys and the fans but most of all to Ariel. The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and my children, and that’s where I am going to focus my attention.”

Ariel, 36, with whom Fulmer shares sons Wesley, 4, and Finley, 1, also spoke out. She wrote via an Instagram post, “Thanks to everyone who has reached out to me – it means a lot. Nothing is more important to me and Ned than our family, and all we request right now is that you respect our privacy for the sake of our kids."

The cheating scandal

On Monday, September 26, a Reddit user posted a now-deleted video of a couple kissing at a bar at East Village mainstay Niagara, claiming the two were Fulmer and a producer for Try Guys, as per News.com.au.

Fans couldn't keep calm and criticized Fulmer for his actions. One wrote, "Personally offended by Ned Fulmer cheating on lovely Ariel because now every time I watch a Try Guys video I'll be reminded of what he did and it'll ruin every chance of me having a loving relationship in the future. So thanks for that Ned." Another said, "It wasn't a Try Guy and their employee. It was Ned Fulmer and Alexandria Herring. Ned ruined the lives of his SUPPORTIVE wife and 3 KIDS. Alex broke her FIANCE whom she was to marry. its not right and it never will be."

A user slammed the group for enabling this. The person wrote, "Oh bitch i was PRAYING the other try guys were not aware and did not enable this behavior WHAT THE F*** !?!?!" However, another individual said, "I love the try guys and i'm sick of what ned did. try guys have produced content that i genuinely love and i will support keith, zac, eugene, and the amazing staff behind the scenes through all of this. sending love and support to ariel because no one deserves this."
