“Ned Fulmer is no longer working with the ‘Try Guys,’” Kornfeld said in a YouTube video. Yang and Habersberger were sitting beside him on a couch.

“By now, we’re assuming you’ve seen the Reddit threads and TikToks and tweets and news articles. We want to give you a timeline of what’s transpired and some transparency into our decision-making,” he added.
