Try Guys Star Exits Following Cheating Scandal

First thing this morning, I hopped onto Twitter and saw a name that I'd never expect to see trending... Ned Fulmer. Ned Fulmer is one of the founding members of "The Try Guys". Originally, they were just four Buzzfeed employees who were paired up to try different things in YouTube videos together. They became a huge hit with viewers and were dubbed "The Try Guys". Eventually, they left the company several years later to start their own channel and company, "2nd Try". Since then, they have risen in popularity becoming pop culture superstars and now have expanded into tv with their own cooking show " No Recipe Road Trip", which recently premiered on the Food Network.

I've been a big fan since I discovered them and watch their videos RELIGIOUSLY. Their videos are fun, sometimes educational and are the perfect escape when you need a good distraction. That's why I was shocked to see Ned trending this morning. He wasn't trending for anything positive though. He is currently the subject of a cheating scandal.

Reddit and Twitter has blown up with various threads accusing Ned of cheating on his wife, Ariel with one of their Associate Producers, who frequently starred in numerous videos. If you're a die-hard of their channel, you know that Ned is always speaking highly about his wife and has done a wonderful job of integrating her and his family into their videos and podcasts. She actually became a star herself, leading "The Try Wives", a group that features all of the founding members wives/partners. That's why this news is a huge shocker. With this big scandal on their hands, does this mean big changes for "The Try Guys"? Is this just one huge fabricated experiment for one of their videos or is this a real shake up? Check out what Twitter was saying here.

As I write this blog, just minutes ago, The Try Guys have announced that Ned Fulmer has parted ways with the group.

There must've been some truth in the rumors, following their internal investigation. What is next for "The Try Guys"? I don't know but I'm hoping the remaining gents and their crew stay together.

As a die hard fan myself, I really enjoy their chemistry and videos and would hate to see them split. How are you feeling about everything? Let's chat @justPEREZplay or on the talkback mic on our FREE iHeart app.

UPDATE: Both Ned and his wife Ariel have released statements to fans.
