The Try Guys to remove Ned Fulmer from upcoming videos amid ‘shocking’ cheating scandal
“There are a few videos that we believe are completely unreleased. You’ll never see them, and that’s because of his involvement,” said Zach Kornfeld of former The Try Guys member Ned Fulmer.
The remaining members said that Ned Fulmer will edit future The Try Guys videos.
Fulmer, 35, admitted cheating on his wife Ariel Fulmer with a co-worker. In a video uploaded Monday, Zach Kornfeld, Keith Habersberger and Eugene Lee Yang spoke about the future of The Try Guys.
“Ned Fulmer is no longer working with The Try Guys,” Kornfeld said. “We’re assuming by now you’ve seen Reddit threads, TikTok, tweets, and news articles. We want to give you a timeline of what’s going on and some transparency in our decision making.”
“There will be things we want to say or expand on in this video, but I’m sure you know there are some legal issues we need to consider as we go through it all.”
Habersberger later explained that the turn of events began after Fulmer and a colleague saw “several fans” acting romantically in public over Labor Day weekend.
After asking Fulmer about it, he confirmed that the affair had been in secret for some time.
The Try Guys uncovered a cheating scandal
“To be honest, it was very shocking for us,” added Habersberger. “We just want you to know that we had no idea what was going on. All of this information was just as shocking to us as it was to you this week.”
Yang explained that a three-week investigation involving lawyers, publishers and human resources experts has begun to oversee the process.
Yang continued, “From the beginning we were absolutely aware of how at odds with the values of the company we founded and everyone who works here. This is something we take very seriously. We refused to turn everything upside down to ask. That’s it.” not what we are and that’s not what we stand for.”
As the scandal unfolded, Kornfeld said Fulmer was “instantly” pulled from all links and edited from the videos. A personnel consultant also checked Fulmer’s behavior.
“There are a few videos that we believe are completely unreleased. You’ll never see them, and that’s because of his involvement,” Kornfeld said, noting they lost money during the move.
However, he added: “It is a decision that we proudly support.”
“Ned has engaged in behavior that is not befitting of our team,” Habersberger said, although they could not share details of the investigation. “We knew we couldn’t go any further with him,” he added.
Documents, now tri-signed, were released on September 16, showing that Fulmer will no longer be a director or employee of her company, 2nd Try LLC.
Habersberger said they immediately stopped publishing the news out of disrespect for the families involved.
“To be honest, we were incredibly shocked and deeply hurt by all of this,” Yang said. “Fulmer is someone we’ve built a brand and company with for eight years. We are not only sorry personally, but also on behalf of our employees and the fans who believed in us.”
Kornfeld added, “I don’t know if we can fully express the pain we’re feeling right now. It’s hard to revisit old videos that we love and are proud of. We lose a friend, we lose someone we started company with, we have countless memories. We just did a TV show together. I’m sure many of you feel the same way. It is strange. We’re sorry this happened and we don’t know what else to say.
