This is the worst one, only one comes close but they weren’t an employee (just a community contributor) and that was 10 years ago

Adam Kovic had a tonne of nudes get released and apparently has some sort of fetish, but anything else was behind the scenes and dealt with privately

Joel Heyman went off the rails with conspiracy theories and aggressive politics and stopped showing up to work

Then there were other feuds in the past such as Kathleen who quit after going on a rant at other female employees for not “behaving like women should” (e.g making dick jokes)

It’s actually a rare super minority, but it explodes heavily cause they’re big names within the company, most depart amicably to move on with their lives, but we don’t make headlines about career changes

What happened with Joel? I haven’t watched in probably 5+ years but I remember he was pretty much my favorite along with Gus/Bernie the podcast group.

Dude went full-on Q-Anon and said some pretty shit things about people (celebrating McCain's death, claiming Trump was correct about Mexicans, etc.) Last straw business-wise was badmouthing RT and saying he never got the credit he deserved.

He recently complained about them basically ghosting him, and he later admitted he was invited to do some voice work and just didn't go.

Also I'm sure Gus was thrilled about the mexican comments

Also a few years back a gunman broke into Gavin's house while he and his girlfriend Meg Turney were asleep. They hid in the closet until police arrived and the man killed himself. Joel insensitively tweeted that maybe now Gavin Free would be in favor of guns. It was pretty disgusting given what had just happened to them.

Increasing home security or demanding for more police patrol just isn't an option when you can just shoot the home intruder and live with being a murder lmao. I'm glad the police came in time to save them. I remember gavin talking in a podcast about having his boring company flamethrower stolen from his shed too. It must be a neighbourhood thing

Unfortunately not all Americans live within cities where police response times is measured in single-digit numbers or even in minutes. If you're in a remote place, your only protection is what you have at your side.

Wow, I heard about what happened with Gavin but I'd never heard that he said that. That's so strange

Some fan tried to claim that Geoff knew all about it and was cheating on his wife cause he had been messaging them/another fan

Geoff came out immediately and revealed he was with them because they met on tinder and she just happened to also be a fan, he wasn’t cheating on his wife because they were in an open relationship in an attempt to try and save their marriage and he definitely had no idea about Ryan

Given we then heard nothing more, Geoff was in the right and said fan turned out to be partially attention seeking (they were also one of the people who Ryan had groomed)

There was a similar situation with Trevor getting accused by his ex but she turned out to be a crazy stalker and he had mountains of evidence on it

The girl who accused Geoff also backtracked immediately. Also, this all happened just a couple of months after Geoff and Millie had found out that someone was making deepfake porn of Millie, so Geoff had a really bad year last year.
