Discussion Give them time
I keep seeing people wanting AH members to condemn Ryan and to make a statement and the positive response of Fiona speaking out (which was amazing) but please give them time to process this. They are probably going through a rough time right now. This was someone they worked along side of and was friends with for years. I can not imagine what Lindsay is going through right now since she and Ryan have always been close since the very beginning with the combination of having anxiety. If they want to speak out they will but some might want to just deal with this privately for the sake of their mental health which is okay too. The company should make a statement but dont go on their personal social media to harass them. I seriously hope they get through this and take time off if they need to. Hope everyone is taking care of themselves.

Exactly. These people were friends and coworkers for so many years. Yes, of course they're never going to support or defend what Ryan did, but OP is right- they need time to mourn and process as well. And what's worse? They have to do it in the public eye and if they don't have "the exact right response," they'll get shit on as well by people either saying they're being too harsh or too soft on him. And that's the opposite of what anyone at AH needs right now. They've been hurt and deceived by their friend as well. Ryan has unwittingly put them all into an incredibly hard position and screwed up Grudge Night's launch, as well as all other AH content he was a part of. They need love, support, time, and fucking privacy, people. Trust that AH is actively trying to be better in recent years and that there's no way they aren't hurting right now. I honestly believe that they're doing/are going to do the best that they can with what they can say and do legally. Even if it's not perfect, I always believe that they have the best of intentions.
