The Try Guys, American online entertainment group and media production company, said that they are trying to remove ex-member and co-founder Ned Fulmer from new videos. Zach Cornfeld, Keith Habersberger and Eugene Lee Yang appeared in the video, titled ‘what happened’, to say that they found out that the 35-year-old was cheating on his wife, Ariel Fulmer, weeks before the scandal came out and he was fired.

“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.

“We 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,” Kornfeld added.

“That’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.”
Habersberger said that on Labour Day, many fans had told the group that they ‘had seen Ned and an employee engaging in public romantic behavior’.
The Try Guys launched on BuzzFeed in 2014. But they left the platform in 2018 to start a production company. The entertainment group has 7.98 million subscribes on their YouTube channel.
