This video is meant to take another look at the aftermath of the try guys Ned Fulmer cheating scandal, and look at where it left each if the people involved
You know what makes everyone be so upset about this? Ned ALWAYS talked about his wife, his kid and his marriage and how he loves them so much in pretty much every Try Guys episode, making him look like this decent and loving husband who values his family and marriage. And the fact that out of all people, he was cheating, really just makes him a hypocrite.
If he didn't "glorify" his marriage that much, people would probably still be disappointed but not to this extent because it would have been "just another celebrity cheating on his wife".
Both Ned and Alex knew what they were doing, both betrayed their partners and their team. All I hope for is that Ariel finds peace and happiness.
Yes, it's called overcompensation.
He advertised it a little too much. Looking back it was wayyyy overkill.
I agree but also for the fact he cheated with someone who was his employee, someone who was around his wife and children, it would still be bad but I dont think it would be as bad if he just met some random person at a bar or something
exactly!! he brought this upon himself, he shouldn't have glorified his marriage..
@@sugarplum2467 Me thinks thou doth protest top much.
There's a special degree of desperation for anyone who GOES BACK to Buzzfeed.
Gonna be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if Alex goes back to buzzfeed
I would love that for him
@@gracefoster7587 did she go back there
@@gracefoster7587and Ned 😂
I mean if you’ve been on buzzfeed main channel it’s literally dead they haven’t really made any new content … I don’t even know if they have employees there anymore 🙄😅😅
😂😂😂
No sympathy for Alexandria. She knew what she was getting into and she knew what the risks were. She is just as bad as Ned as she could have easily said no. They both deserve what they get and worse.
No sympathy for either of them. Ariel and her kids deserve better. The try guys deserved better.
She's a HOMEWRECKER!
@@BreeboBagginsespecially the kids!!! imagine knowing your dad cheated on your mom and knowing millions of others knew
No sympathy for a woman who might fear for her career if her boss came on to her? Might want to re think that one.
@@elyseparker5333 there has been gossip claiming she admitted to seeking the relationship in order to boost her career and screen time with Ned's favoritism. Cannot confirm that, but IF it is true, then no one should feel bad for her. Her lack of public statement kind of reflects that gossip. If the situation had been a pressured power dynamic coming from Ned in which Alex felt noncompliance would risk her job, then following Ned's statement about a consensual relationship, it would have benefitted Alex as a person engaged to a partner of 10 years to speak up and reveal harassment/pressure.
Hm I doubt Buzzfeed would take Ned back as they wrote so many damaging articles about him like “here’s why celebrities made us lose faith in men” just a few weeks ago.
Honestly, I don't think Buzzfeed would care. It's not like they are pillar of integrity and morals!
@@zugzug6773 Sad and true! 👍
@@zugzug6773 Hahahaha probably true ngl
Nah he definitely will go back and they will hire him back I mean their main channel is a ghost town lol
I don’t even know if they have any employees left 🤔
The latest word by someone's niece who works for buzzfeed is that he did get hired with buzzfeed literally as a screen writer but just has to stay behind the scenes
The fact that Alexandria had a “worst outcome” from your perspective of “she lost her fiancé” and Ned didn’t… well, that doesn’t depend on them, that was because her ex was smart enough to get out of that relationship and Ariel maybe it’s taking her time to make that decision because of her kids, but Ariel should also get out of that marriage and then Ned will be left alone too
Exactly. It's far easier to walk away from an engagement than a marriage and kids. Don't blame Will at all for dumping Alex.
I think the point she was trying to make wasn’t about boohoo relationships…I think she means the future going onwards will be more difficult for Alex, and honestly, she’s right. Ned has a pretty extensive background and a fancy degree that the try guys even talk about, he’ll have no problems in the future even though his name has been dragged through the mud. Where as Alex doesn’t have the privilege of option…like Ned clearly does.
There’s more to life than fiancés and baby daddies, kids. 🤯
@@amberleighlush of course there’s more to life than baby daddies and fiancées but not in their particular case. In their case they have all those things. Nobody here in the comment section said that was all there was to life…why are you projecting?
@@amberleighlush Alex should've thought about her future before she ruined it.
Can’t believe she lost her 10 year relationship offer someone that looks like Ned 💀
Shes not that cute herself tbh
@@yeahyeahyeahblah she's conventionally attractive. Ned is a strong -4 in the dark
@@DosagePosage 😂😂😂😂
His D game was strong
to be fair, they both look like they stink.
We all know Ariel deserves better but she has to figure that out for herself.
Yes, I support not blaming other women for men cheating. However I can still hold them accountable of being garbage people that knowingly hurt others
She still cheated on her fiance. It's not her fault Ned cheated on Ariel but it's absolutely her fault that she was unfaithful to Will. Power dynamic or not if she was really being forced into this she should've told Will the first time Ned made an advance and then asked if he could help her get out of that situation and job. If she was truly innocent the two of them would probably still be together.
Takes two to tango.
@@ameliarose47 PERIOD
@@ameliarose47 Not only that, she has said she liked flirting with taken men before any of this started and people have said she was always pushy with everyting even insisting for people to drink more when they didn't want to drink anymore. She is no saint, that's for sure.
Dude, it takes two to tango she’s also at fault for cheating on her fiancé.
Alexandria is a grown woman who is accountable for her choices. Any discrepancy between her punishment and Ned's is an indicator that Ned should get worse than he currently is, not that she should get better. They both deserve just the worst.
That was beautifully put!
I doubt Ned is going to bounce back from this easily. Everyone knows about this and companies are going to see him and her as a liability
They're hirable just not as a major lead role. They will have to spend quite a few years to be forgotten and even be given a bigger title.
i mean maybe not as a public personality but most companies don't care if you cheat on your wife, they will say he went to counseling and the pr prob is fixed
@@mew5395 he didn't get fired for cheating. He was the boss creator of Try Guys. He put money into his business as well as the other guys. He wasn't just cheating, He was having an inappropriate work romance with an employee under him. Big no no
I dunno, plenty of famous men go around harassing women and get recasted/reassigned easily
@@toffee1234100 idk he was pretty well broadcasted. Even SNL did a shit skit on it.
He doesn’t deserve to have those connections. He doesn’t deserve Ariel. He deserves to get divorced and suffer more consequences.
A cheater will always be a cheater.
As a married man, he should have stopped himself. It’s called self control and respect for your SO. But Ned is disgusting…
In a perfect world, he'd be divorced and unemployable. He really deserves that. Alex will have a harder time finding a job because she doesn't have connections, however also being not so famous she might be forgotten quicker. They both deserve bad stuff for what they did. I'm glad Alex's fiance dropped her. I feel bad for Ariel, she probably feels like she doesn't want to have her kids coming from a broken home, but she deserves so much better. Time will tell.
who cares, just because you cheat doesnt mean you should be poor and homeless. Get over IT!
@@bratzglamoruslife123 Hmm sounds like maybe someone has done some cheating themselves before to be this sympathetic to cheaters 🤔
@@palomaharper2810 As bad as cheating is, don’t think someone should just lose their livelihood lol
@@bratzglamoruslife123 Poor? Deserved. Homeless? No.
She cheated too though. They're both as responsible for the scandal as each other. It just so happens that Alex ended up worse off, she should have thought about that before cheating. No sympathy for either party.
They deserve each other.
Being cheated on when you are the FAITHFUL wife and mother is the worst experience. I know. His wife is in hell right now, and for years to come. I know.
As for his coworker/mistress: sorry, but I don’t believe you couldn’t resist his advances ( if that’s what she alleges.)Your boyfriend would have been told, you’d sue the pants off him with collected evidence, or you could simply tell your coworkers to stay away from Ned and then quit.
I agree with some others that Alexandria should have seen this coming and deserved what happened. She’s a full grown adult who willingly cheated on her partner (if it was a power dynamic, she STILL made the decision of putting her job over her relationship.) She won a stupid prize for playing a stupid game. I’m having a real hard time seeing why any of that deserves sympathy; if she had that much to lose, she shouldn’t have risked it.
I just wanted to add, I call total BS her job was at any risk. I'm sure if Ned was pressuring her put out or else scenario, the other 3 Try Guys would have put an end to that for legal reasons, PR reasons, moral reasons; you name it.
Alex knew what she was doing and that it was wrong!
#homewrecker
period
@@k.e.M_ Ned wrecked his own home and she wrecked hers. Neither of them are responsible for the others home.
Stop blaming the woman only. He had just as much hand in this as her.
@@WellISaidIt No one is blaming "the woman only", ffs. They're ALSO blaming the woman in it.
@@DiscoSamurai so tell me what part of the original comment is not blaming the woman only. I don't see Ned's name anywhere in that comment.
I think the #1 nyt bestseller is referring to the book the try guys wrote together, not to the date night cookbook. I refuse to believe his unqualified ass cookbook truly hit the best seller list.
They basically give that title to everyone at this point
@@TheSamuraiforever all it takes is a certain number of books sold, so most authors themselves buy that amount of books for distribution, knocking out two birds w one stone so they get on the list
Ned five years ago: why i left buzzfeed
Ned today: why i got back to buzzfeed
People saying Ariel needs to just leave Ned, need to take in the FACT that she has children with him, built a life with him, and made vows with him. Not everyone is about just getting up and leaving someone especially after building an entire life with somebody. I’m not saying Ariel should stay with him because he totally sucks but to judge her for staying without taking into account that getting divorced is emotionally draining for not only her, but her children, and not easy for everyone is wild. Ned and Alexandria are 1000% equally accountable as they both knew each others status and what they themselves also had. Not one should be more dragged than the other. Imagine throwing away a 10 YEAR relationship on a MARRIED MAN and Vice versa. Imagine destroying a 10 YEAR relationship while also being married?? Both are in the wrong and I personally don’t think either one will come up from this.
ned is the one who threw away a 10yr marriage (and spat on his family) by cheating. divorce is draining but that is the only reason i could understand to be holding off on the divorce. ariel would NOT be the one "getting up and leaving"; ned is the one who destroyed their relationship if she chooses to divorce.
Were Ned not Alex's boss, I would agree that they are both equally in the wrong. But it's impossible to ignore the power dynamic. While nobody is suggesting that Ned pressured Alex into being in a relationship with him, that doesn't mean that they were on equal footing. It was HIS company and HIS job to make sure that he wasn't crossing professional boundaries. HE was the one with the responsibility of "boss." I think he was more in the wrong because of this-- Increased responsibility, increased blame.
I completely get what you mean but man thinking about being in a scenario like this with my significant other even if I had children.
If it were me I would leave ASAP the lack of trust would kill everything for me.
I can guarantee you, staying for the children isn't the best option. Ultimately, it's their decision whether they stay with each other or not. But the kids are gonna know something isn't right, and that anxiety of what's wrong with the family dynamic is gonna seep into their everyday lives.
Staying for the sake of children is a terrible choice. Children are more aware than you could ever seen them be. Hence, there're many cases why kids held grudge against their cheating parent. The longer you stay in the marriage, the worse impact on the kids. The best way is to divorce, and the kids will be devastated but they'll pick themselves up as they grow up. They didn't turn out to be worse as many people assumed. If anything, they're more thankful that their parent is not staying for their sakes. I've been studying these cases and yes, I've had experiences seeing it happening in my family.
So silly that this video seems to have such sympathy for “Alex’s situation”. She should have known what her consequences would have been if she was caught, and yet, she willingly entered into that situation. She deserves no more sympathy than Ned.
Even if what they had to lose was different, Alexandria knew full well what she could lose. She made her choices. If she had been single herself, did not know Ariel and was not involved with the Try Guys, I would not really fault her as the only person whose job it is to protect a marriage and keep their vows are the married partners. But she betrayed her fiance, she betrayed Ariel and she betrayed the Try Guys. She is just as vile as Ned in this situation and I personally do not believe the 'power balance' was off. She was an executive producer and a performer on their shows. She has plenty of experience of her own- she was not some wide eyed little 18 year old.
Power imbalance is not a term thrown around to absolve Alex of what happened, it is just a fact: Ned was the employer and she was his employee. Regardless of whether or not she went into that relationship willingly, it's still legally wrong. I don't understand why it's so hard for people to separate morality from legality.
@Nitro417 exactly. It's 100% a power imbalance when he's the one signing her checks. It doesn't matter that she was an executive producer, she was producing videos for HIS company.
@@Nitro417 The power imbalance was there, but she could have planned an exit strategy. Apply to jobs then quit once she gets an offer.
@@Nitro417 She also held a power over Ned in that she could have spoken up and ruined his life. They were in it together. She knew them all and worked with them before she went to work for her FOUR bosses and treating her like a victim is infantilizing her. Co-workers said they were quite well aware that they were both attracted to each other. It wasn't a one-way street.
@@bijou3000 They're talking from a legal and HR perspective.
1:12 when I saw he made a cookbook I laughed cuz I couldn’t believe he seriously made a cookbook when we all know he can’t cook from without a recipe
It had to have been all Ariel and he just slapped his name on it.
Whichever direction their marriage goes, Ned is gonna have consequences to deal with. If Ariel chooses to divorce him, that is a consequence of his actions as well as any potential custody battle where she has custody and he pays her child support.
If Ariel decides to move forward and remain married to him, there's still consequences to be had. He's gonna be on a very short leash if he wants to win her trust back. This means he forfeits his privacy; she may have full-on access to his phone, he might not be allowed to have female friends anymore, if he goes out without her and the kids, he might have to check in with her regularly to assure her he's not fooling around.
Outside of his marriage, he's also potentially ruined any job opportunities to work in a supervisory/management position ever again. Work options may be limited as well when it comes to earning Ariel's trust back.
All these scenarios are consequences of his own actions. Even if things pan out for the better, it's still gonna cost him in some way.
This comment is 100% on point. Staying married does not mean there are no consequences, they're just different. It can honestly be WAY more work to rebuild a marriage than to divorce.
Don't have sympathy for either
Alex deserves as much flack as she gets, but Ned deserves just as much flack and as little opportunities after this as she has
That's part of why he did it. He knew his world would never truly fall apart. Gotta love those Yale guys. Gag.
You make an interesting point about Alexandria. I still think it was a dumb move to sleep with the married boss, but it's completely unfair that she's going to suffer the most in her relationships and career because of all this.
The try guys are doing better than before, of course its sad to lose a friend but the business side of things, they've gotten a bigger budget, videos have gotten bigger and funnier, they look less restricted.
^^^^^
i don’t think so Ned can do investment banking...he has a chemical engineering degree not a finance degree...
Ned also has a degree in chemistry, he could 100% get a job in that
This is my thought too.
Ariel will never leave him. She has stated multiple times that her identity is *wife and mom*. Let's face it, Ariel has no life without Ned. Now, for Ned. He's a multi-millionaire, Yale graduate with the connects of Hollywood's elite...he'll be fine. The person that will suffer the most (career wise) is Alex. She has become the face of "work side chick". Companies see her as a liability and women see her as a villain. The fact that they were so public with the cheating is crazy. Like, just be swingers!
That's what puzzles me as well, with all that they had to lose, they were so sloppy about hiding it... wtf
Yeah plus if she leaves Ned he will just got straight to Alex and prob marry her.
Ariel is much more than merely a *wife and mom*. And she does have life beyond Ned, just because all this while she prioritised her family over all else, doesn't mean she isn't more than just that. She has designed the Try Guys Studio and her own place along with a few pieces here and there. She has credibility for her work, so if and when she wants, she can up and leave and still lead a good life and lifestyle. It's makes me sad to see you reduce Ariel to a dependent. Whatever decision she takes, I'm sure will be because of what she feels is right for the kids. Just because she chooses to be more family-oriented doesn't mean she has "no life without Ned."
I mean Ned and Alex both cheated, so both need to be treated the same way.
if they get together, they will make each other miserable.
Gender has nothing to do with it… 🙄 she is single now bc her ex decided that the cheating was enough and he didn’t wanna be w her, Ned is still married I don’t know why, but Ariel wants to try and save it, Alexandria should have thought about the fact that she didn’t have a base platform or job that could stand the blow if the relationship was exposed, since she wasn’t very well known before working w them and Ned had a platform before the scandal.. I’m not defending any of them, I’m just saying that bringing gender or feminism into this has nothing to do w it… both have consequences for their actions!
in the end whatever happens it’s Ariel’s choice and we should respect it
I just hope Ariel isn't giving Ned a second chance, I use to have alot of respect for him! he seemed like such a loving husband and a loyal one too! And I understand she most likely will stay in the marriage for her childrens sake, But Ned cheated on her, He broke that trust with her, I hope she is doing okay!
How are they not equally at fault? They both cheated on their long term partners.
This video is so well made i love it! It was all i was looking for, really enjoyed it!
Hi, Thanks so much 💖💖 love ya
.... the last part about her 10 year relationship ending. That was all her fault lol let's not talk about the worse consequences she got when that was on her. Smh
This story was so bizaare. Isn’t NED the guy whose whole personality is abouy being married to his wife? He’s always “me and my wife…”
Alexandria got what she deserves
Iiiii just wanna say; thank you! Truly. I love to indulge in my spicy ass tea channels and in doing so I’ve grown ever more weary of how unbiased and lack-opinion most spill channels are. (Which I mean I get it, really) but I’d like to take a moment to appreciate you not only stating your opinion of the bias between the way this scandal has effected the parties involved, but also for just catching us up on this after the headlines dropped it. Your point of view not only had me clapping along in a ‘right!?” Kinda way but also you made me take into consideration how the aftermath will affect them financially…not saying I’m on Alex’s side but I mean…I’m on her side. Feels like everyone is a true victim and Ned is just a dirty John. His bobble head saying “my wife” will be in my nightmares, forever.
💖💖 Ha ha That bobble head IS nightmare inducing
Just looking to the past videos of the channel and seeing Alex and Ned together makes a completely new sense. I hope Ariel decides what is best for her and for their son
ned is responsible for tarnishing his marriage, and alex is responsible for tarnishing her engagement. what ned did is worse, because he was her boss. he is held to higher standards as the boss, and although she completely knew what she was doing, he as the boss is more responsible. this isnt just a “ooo ned cheated thats bad” story. this is a “boss with a certain amount of power and fame has a full on affair with his employee” story. he did not just cheat. he cheated with someone he was essentially paying.
this.
Please, don’t downplay Alex’s role in this, let alone, bring the race or gender card…..
I really hope ariel is playing it smart and biding her time before leaving his ass
The compare and contrast is a bit of a stretch in my opinion since no one forced them to cheat, no sympathy for either one of them and Ariel probably wanted to stay with Ned and they both came to an agreement so no gender comparison there, I just think Ned got lucked out due to his education because if Alex was a student of Yale and switched with Ned it would’ve been similar aftermath
Why should she get a settlement? They were both cheating on their partners. Should ned get a settlement also?
I’m assuming because of the power imbalance if they tried to fire her she could sue them but I guess they decided that she resigning and getting a settlement as compensation was a better idea. Even if she consented to the relationship the problem mainly because of the power imbalance
He was bought out because he was a partner but would likely have had to pay the guys damages for the loss in revenue due to the scandal. The thing is even if Ned hadn't have had a wife or Alex a fiance, the situation the try guys faced was the same from a legal perspective. Ned was an owner of the company and was acting as HR and she was his employee. That was why he was fired, not because he was a cheater.
We didn't find out until almost 2 months AFTER it actually happened. When ned and Ariel were seen in public, about 3 months already passed.
You do it to yourself you do, and that's what really hurts.
I really don't get why ppl are defending Alex, she screwed up just as much as Ned did! And what's with the power imbalance!!?! It's not even a valid point! Are you telling me if you're engaged yourself and your married boss forces you to be in a relationship with him or you'd loose your job, you'd choose to screw over your fiance and your boss's wife (who's your friend btw) just to keep your job???
It's her income, her job helps pay the bills.
@@bea8861 Was this the only job she was qualified for? Could she have not got another job? Sure, maybe it would've taken her sometime to find a different job but are you telling me screwing over so many people who trusted her and her partner of 10 years was the better choice here??
I don't have any sympathy for Ned or Alex. I feel terrible for Ariel and I think she had the worse outcome from this situation. Although I feel bad for Will he actually dodged a bullet.
She ended her own relationship and career. That was on her and Ned, no one else involved. They tested the assumption and are taking notes of the results as we speak.
Alexandria made a choice and now she has to live with the consequences and so does Ned.
Ariel deleted her post about the drama. Its been gone for a while
Wow, I didn’t know about any of this drama. I have not watched The Try Guys channel for like at least a year…
I was watching a local movie in my country where the female protagonist said "Cheating isn't an accident. It's a choice." And sadly that was Ned's choice.
Welp sucks to suck. Don't sleep with your friend's husband. Power imbalance be damned. She's an adult.
It’s not black or white. Power imbalance does affect things even though she is also in the wrong.
@Belle Zhao Do not sleep with your married boss. Simple. Quit your job if it's an issue. Ugh, and she smiled and hung out with Ned's wife. Fuck that she's gross
Anyone else find it odd that Alex’s ex fiancé is now with the girl who originally took the pictures of Ned and Alex? Who is to say they didn’t know each other before the story broke? Someone should really look into that. Idk I think there is a whole lot more to this story than we may ever know.
I don't believe they were confirmed to be together. And we have no evidence they knew eachother (or knew eachother very well) before the leaks.
I feel the need to point out the power imbalance again... How "okay" would you be saying no to your boss? And what would you do if said boss kept pushing and you didn't have any job offers lined up?
Call HR
Tell the other 3 bosses
Expose him
There were a lot of things to be done
@@Sabrina-sc1db Ned was the head of HR.
Alex ruined her 10 year long relationship and her career herself. Absolutely zero sympathy for her. She should’ve thought before she decided to cheat.
They’re both equally guilty. Society just has a preference in allowing men to recover and it’s sad and disgusting. Stop bullying Alexandria. Ned and her both suck 😅
Idgaf what’s happens to either of them, I pray for them and hope they can better there lives and be good people, but idc since it’s because of there own actions.
Just saw another vid where some wandering eye might have happened in 2016- before ariel was even pregnant. Idk if everyone believes it, but i’ll be the one to say i kinda hope that’s true, because then the already bullshit act of cheating wasn’t because the kids ruined their marriage. I hate hate hate when people claim kids ruined their relationship and that’s why they cheated, so it made me think “if this one allegation is at least out there before ariel was even pregnant, does that mean everyone who says ned is the frat boy bachelor guy is more true than we passed around?” Again there’s no reason or justification to cheat, but perhaps the reason doesn’t have to be the bullshit “kids ruined our relationship and sex lives” etc. You had time to go off with alex you had time to hire a sitter and spend that free time with your wife. so some things i am confusion…
Both Alex and Ned knew damn well what they were doing was wrong and they still continued it and I’m mad that Ned has all those connections, also Ariel while I do agree she should leave him, but going through a divorce is not only draining on the person that got cheated on, but it also effects the kids plus it ain’t easy to just leave someone that you built a 10 year life with especially when you have kids with that person, although, it seems easy to Alex and Ned since they both threw away their 10 year long relationships with their partners like it was nothing.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Ned just wanted to go out with a bang
I hope they both ruined any chance they have of doing anything work related in a public setting. I hope they both have to find menial jobs. I hope Ariel divorces Ned and takes him to court. Cheating isn't a mistake. And as far as the power imbalance, why didn't she go to Rachel and tell her ned had made a pass? Because she wanted the relationship imo. Alex even admitted in a past video she had a major crush on ned when she first started working with them. They both knew what they were doing and didn't care. Well now they can have their cake and eat it too as the world hates them
That's really unhealthy. Why would you hope that 2 people you do not know lose all means to make a living just because they cheated? They didn't kill anyone and it has nothing to do with you. I have no idea how people get so over-involved with strangers that they can actually wish such horrible things on people out of spite.
@@sugarplum2467 because they don’t deserve what other good people should have instead. They’re not honest and not to be trusted. I know people can change but adultery and cheating is actually a big deal. It shows you can live two lives and be a liar and sociopath.
You really are being so dramatic. Cheating does not mean you deserve to be homeless and broke.
@@bratzglamoruslife123 It really does. Cheating makes you a bad person. Bad people deserve to have bad things happen to them. 🤷♀️
@@sugarplum2467 Ikr. 💯
I really hoped that try guys company gave ariel some job if she wanted, i loved her personality and her creativity
Since she's still with Ned, it would probably make them uncomfortable to have Ariel working with them after they let Ned go.
@@annme_87 yeah, that why i say if she wanted to, maybe in future when she divorce him?
@@annme_87 if they divorce and ariel join try guys it will be big middle finger to ned lol
She also was an Interior Designer before working with 2nd Try, so she's probably doing that now, too.
I can’t believe he cheated on his wife with a girl, I thought he was gonna try guys!
(saw this on Twitter when this happened cred to that person)
Ned was the one who failed his marriage. He was also her boss.
Whenever you look at relationships were cheating is involved it’s important to look at how society looks at cheating in general… and society is always going to come down much harder on women who cheat. Because society is kind of assholes to women.
We can act like we’re better people, but the reality is
The proof is right here
The proof is in all these comments were an employee got into a relationship that was unequal with someone she was infatuated with before she even joined the channel
There was an unequal power balance, and this guy should have done something about it, but he took advantage, and it wasn’t the first time either
Instead of jumping on the bandwagon to attack a vulnerable woman, let’s look at the man who comes from money, and took advantage time and time again😅
It’s fascinating that this story is swept so quickly under the rug, and yet people are still talking about what a terrible woman she is, and not talking about how this guy is suddenly working for BuzzFeed again ?!
We can say that BuzzFeed isn’t that horrific of a company but we all know they are
Idk if its been long enough to joke about this yet because Ariel and *her* kids are amazing and deserve *nothing* bad, HOWEVER...
Did Ned just Reynolds Pamphlet himself??????
Ok but the thing is its her fault if she can't handle the consequences she shouldn't have cheated with her boss
To be honest it is very disappointing to see Ned kinda get away with the whole thing. I am not saying Alex shouldn't be held accountable but she was not in a position of power or Ned's boss. Yes she cheated on her fiance and that should absolutely have consequences but not on her career. Ned on the other has clearly crossed the line and is damn lucky he is not facing a lawsuit for sexual misconduct or coersion because those lines were definetely blurred. Ned should be the one who people feel weary of hiring again not Alexandria. He is the one who abused his power in the workplace and put at risk the face of his own company.
Why is every one acting like Alex is some clueless minor? She's was a grown ass engaged women who cheated. Alex knew exactly what she was doing. Period.
The try guys untangled from Ned soo quick that I wonder. If they actually did... & he isnt still involved even just on paper regarding the business. Wasnt the headquarters his old house?
How many women cheat in this industry and they never face any backlash....FFS if you have a friend and you throw him out of the business and you stop being frinds only because he cheated you are probably worse than him.(I have never cheated in my life,and I really hate cheaters...but if I would cheat I would except that my friends would not turn their backs on me).
Alex is facing the consequences to tho? Women definitely should be held accountable, I won't disagree with that. But your comment that you wouldn't want your friends being respectful and morally in the right to your partner who's stayed loyal, tf. Let's hope when your partner cheats on you, their friend won't tell as that's based on your beliefs. 🤷♂️
Lol I love how you keep giving Alex an out and act like she didn’t do the same damn thing! Women are guilty too!!!
She literally explains it so well in the video and you still missed the whole point of why their power dynamic makes ned far more responsible for this
@@renmeli911 Oh shut up and stop making so much sense. My bad.
@@animec-dramaskpop6362 lol
@@renmeli911 I was reading the comments while trying to listen to the video and my hot head got the best of me. I've learnt my lesson.
@@animec-dramaskpop6362 no worries, i get that
Spot on!
Getting rid of a member is one way to get a pay raise, gotta say the other three members were smart to get rid of him, more money for each of them.
I disagree with a lot of the other comments on this one! We don’t know enough of the details to know the degree of responsibility Alexandria has in this. Regardless, Alexandria absolutely holds less responsibility than Ned does (atleast to some extent) because of the power imbalance. Therefore I agree with the video that it is upsetting to see Ned face far fewer consequences than Alexandria.
i have no sympathy for Alex i am disgusted that she did the trying on wedding dress video why she was cheating on her finance with Ned. i hope Ariel choses the right option for her and her Children she have lost a lot her Faith in her husband, she had friendships with the Try guys and their partners. and she was doing the Podcasts with her friends she has lost a lot in so short of time. Also Ned was extremely Selish in his Actions this Affair could of cost his coworkers and Friends their careers as well as it all tied up together. and could of cost a lot of people who work with the Try Guys their Wages. i Glad that the Other Guys managed to Seperate themselves from Ned and saved their channel and people got to keep their Jobs.
Alexandria should be shamed even more. Both DISGUSTING
I think they've judged them too harsh tbh Ned has supported them from the very beginning, providing them own house
Gotta disagree with Alex having it harder than ned that’s almost just stupid to even say ._. (No offense)
He had his whole life built up he already lose family and lifelong friends because of this now he’s gonna also lose his kids home and money(divorce). Job wise he’s been ostracized from social media related content. We all know just hearing the name ned fulmer fills your mind with a bad person overall, irredeemable 🤷♂️
Alex still has a whole life ahead of her relationship wise and in general. Relationship wise if it’s brought up she quite literally can say it was a mistake she made she was young and fucked up. She’s only in her mid 20s. Job wise I think she’s fine still finding work producing etc. Again it’s just very obvious her name isn’t tainted near enough to Ned’s.
The difference in loss just highlights misogyny and the privilege of white upper class men, which is something that can coexist with the fact that Alex is also not a good person for cheating on her fiancé of 10 years.
The only difference is she lost the fiance. It's easier to end relationship with your cheating fiance than to end it with the father of your kids. It's scary for Ariel, but trust me her trust for him has long gone and once she can be independent, she will kick Ned out of the door. Espescially remembering that a cheater will always do it again and again. Only different time and with different person. I do hope Ariel is strong enough to realise this soon.
Not quite getting the attraction that she had to cheat on that sexy fiancé! If you wanna cheat? Break up first before you’re embarrassed
Honestly, Ned will probably go back to being a chemist.
That man always gave liar and creep vibes
Alex has been actively showing up in recent videos.
Poor Ariel and the boys!
It takes a Stronger Man to stay...because it's TOO easy to quit. Every Man needs Redemption.
5:57 Both of them did a bad thing, she was just the dumb one. Acting immorally produces similar consequences regardless of who you are. HOWEVER, the same consequence will have a different impact based on a person's situation. Ex.
2 people get a speeding ticket for going 40 over the limit (gets you a $500 ticket in California).
1) One person is rich: Consequences has ZERO impact on them
2) One person is living paycheck to paycheck: They're screwed
Idk, hot take. It feels weird that Ariel doesn't have a voice in any of this, whatsoever.... NO IDEA, AT ALL, where Ariel sits with this.
4:44 good
It takes two to cheat, not just one person she knew and she still kept it going both are at fault
100 Alex signed a NDA with the try guys and got a huge payout and ppl will say maybe not huge but yes huge because it happened with the employer she could've taken the company down and took them for everything so they def gave her a huge chunk . It's not that she can't get work it's that she's mega Rich now and doesn't any longer have to work to support herself financially, the only one I feel bad for is Ariel and the kids they were the ones lied to and hurt. And it's sad because she will stay with him although she deserves better she will stay for the kids to have that 2 parent together family upbringing it's sad . She will always worry about what he's doing or who he's with it traumatizes you when you are cheated on like that esp kids involved and in public . She's an amazing strong woman. And she loves her children so much. A queen 💞👑✨✨✨
Most comments i keep seeing are people blaming Alex. There was power on Ned's side. She could have been forced into it. Kinda of an implied "Either do it or you're fired"
It takes two to tango
This didn't really add anything new.
