\tComedy group the Try Guys shared a video statement Monday evening, addressing its recent decision to cut ties with ex-member Ned Fulmer, who admitted that he was engaged in a \u201cconsensual\u201d workplace affair and was the subject of an internal investigation.<\/p>\n

\n

\tZach Cornfeld, Keith Habersberger and Eugene Lee Yang appear in the video, titled \u201cwhat happened.,\u201d explaining the timeline of Fulmer’s exit from the company and how the group will continue to alter its content to address the situation. The trio shared that it had been working to remove Fulmer from new videos as soon as an investigation into his behavior was launched.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cWe immediately removed Ned from work activities and engaged an HR professional to conduct a thorough review of the facts. We also opted to remove Ned from our releases, pending results of that review,\u201d Kornfeld stated. \u201cThat’s included removing his section from videos, digitally removing him from others and choosing not to feature him in our merch throws. Honestly, I want to give major props to our editing staff for how deftly they’ve handled that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tKornfeld also shared that, while the group managed to minimize Fulmer’s presence in some content, the company ultimately decided to shelf some videos in which the ex-member was a more prominent figure.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThere are several videos that we’ve deemed as fully unreleasable,\u201d Kornfeld continued. \u201cYou will never see them and that is due to his involvement. That’s a decision that cost us lots of money. We will not be able to recoup that money, but it’s a decision we stand by proudly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tHabersberger shared that the trio are continuing to work with their editing team to remove Fulmer from future releases that have already been filmed. He also clarified that some sponsored content may still include Fulmer, due to corporate commitments that predate his exit.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe trio also shared that they each signed approval to remove Fulmer as a manager and employee of the company on Sept. 16. Habersberger stated that the group did not hurry to make an announcement on the matter because \u201cthere are real people that have been effected\u201d and \u201cthere’s a family at the center\u201d of the issue. <\/p>\n

\n

\tYang then said the group realized a public statement became necessary due to \u201crapidly accelerating public speculation.\u201d Prior to the Try Guys ‘first statement announcing Fulmer’s departure from the group, online fans began to circulate regarding the comedian’s minimized presence in recent videos. <\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cWe are obviously incredibly shocked and deeply hurt by all of this. This is someone who we built a brand and a company with for eight years,\u201d Yang stated. \u201cWe feel saddened, not just personally, but on behalf of our staff and our fans who believed in us.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cI don’t know that we’ll ever be able to fully articulate the pain we feel at this moment,\u201d Kornfeld said. \u201cIt’s hard to rewatch old videos that we love and we’re proud of. We’re losing a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe Try Guys first launched at BuzzFeed before leaving in 2018 to form their own production company, 2nd Try. The group currently holds 7.98 million subscribers on their YouTube channel and has landed a show on Food Network, \u201cNo-Recipe Road Trip With the Try Guys,\u201d which premiered in August. <\/p>\n
