Even without Eugene, you could tell how angry they were. The way they got hung up on Ned using the same font as them in his IG post is exactly something I would also hate lol

Honestly you could tell how genuinely hurt and blindsided they were. Not only did he form his ENTIRE online personality around being the perfect husband but he also cheated with an employee. Truly no regard for his coworkers. Absolutely a sad issue all around 🤦🏽‍♀️

There is nothing that Ned can say in a statement or _Truth_ video of his own that will save him from the embarrassment and complete ruin he’s caused, so he shouldn’t even _try._ ✨

How the three of them handled this situation was really admirable despite them all being so infuriated, disappointed and simply heartbroken. You can tell that they’re trying to hold their anger and rage. This really sets a good example for how people should manage things like this, because unfortunately in the world we live in, drama never stops.

My first reaction was "they shouldn't be talking about it, what if the company gets mad at them?" then I remembered THEY ARE THE COMPANY.

As an employment lawyer myself, I commend their approach. Must be tough to maintain professional distance in this situation.

I don't want to sound cheesy but how beautiful is it that these guys are openly talking about their feelings about this? These are real role models in a time when young men are at risk because they DON'T talk about their feelings. They handled this perfectly at a great personal cost and I have nothing but respect and sympathy for all the innocents involved. I used to watch them way back when, and I'm here for this new Era!

feeling sorry for eugene, zach, keith, ariel, and her 2 kids is an understatement. the fact that ned betrayed all of the people who absolutely loved him is truly disgusting. i hope everyone is coping well from the whole situation. none of them deserve this at all. i wish everyone the absolute best :((

For me personally, these are Ned and Alex’s actions and they do not taint the “Try Guys” as a group at all… the other three acted immediately upon finding out, handled everything professionally, and have made it clear that it was inappropriate on so many levels… I have total respect for them and would never give up watching them over this.

My heart breaks for the three remaining. Not only losing a business partner, but losing a friend of eight years. Keith having to lie at his show, telling fans that everyone was doing well when he knew that was going to be the last time people would view them as the original Try Guys. All of them being so scared that people won’t support them anymore. How incredibly difficult and stressful it is to navigate this legal process, knowing if they make any misstep they will be sued. Zach saying he has not been able to emotionally process this. The quote from Keith sums it up, “fearful that this had decimated everything.”

The fact that they haven’t mentioned Alex’s name once and Alex hasn’t released a statement makes me think there is something potentially brewing there.

I feel bad for the fiancé of Alex cause he actually tried to stop it and reached out to ned and told him in sense to stay away from his girl so bravo to the ex fiancé of Alex for trying to stop it and I feel bad for him as well I also feel bad for Ariel and her kids as well

Tri means three, so them being the Try Guys makes more sense honestly. Especially their “mascot” already being a triceratops. Kinda worked out in some twisted way. Idk, it’s a small positive I guess? Trying to find some light in this. I really am proud of them for handling this all so well though. Endlessly grateful for these men being such amazing people

I actually spit my water out at the "They made the little one grow facial hair" stop I'm covered in strawberry water. 💀😭🤣

I appreciated that they said they would have let Ned go even if this hadn't gone public.

I’m still so disappointed with Ned but Zach being referred to as “the little one” has me dying 😂😂😂😂

Maybe Ned based his entire persona around being the perfect husband because he was trying to convince himself (and everyone else) that he indeed was the perfect husband. He knows what he is doing is wrong, so is he overcompensating to avoid the guilt?

Keith crying in the car: YOU BETRAYEDDDDDD ME AND I KNOW THAT YOU’LL NEVER FEEL SORRYYYYY

The worst victims are the children involved, I really hope they're getting support and counseling through this. It's not easy having your parent crucified by the media, they are at great risk of internalizing the hatred and shame.

I have loved the Try Guys since day one but now I have a bigger respect for them. I also feel so bad for Keith. I wish them all the best. Thank you everyone for the amount of likes!

I feel so sorry for Keith not being able to talk about the situation and getting asked about how the Try Guys were!

Makes you wonder why Ned, who had friends, a company, a TV show, a wife, children, and family at risk still found it worth it to kiss Alex in public, thus ruining his and her whole wife, at least temporarily.

i’ve actually become a fan of the remaining try guys now because they seem more real but i’ve never known a ton about them. i thought they handled this well and wish them the best.

Honestly, I love Zach so much! He was my favourite try guy in buzzfeed and I began to appreciate him even more when I found out about his disorder. I associated with him so much with his humour, mannerisms and empathy and because I, myself, have a chronic pain disorder. His words are so eloquent (as was Keith and Eugene) and I have so much appreciation for their ability to remain professional in a time of what was a huge emotional grief.

The anger I felt to Ned and Alex is really high, I feel bad for the try guys. Seeing how they were scared to be outside because of what Ned did is really heart wrenching.

I think they was definitely something more that happened between them, maybe a big yelling match or something... If Ned just agreed like "Yup you're right I should be fired", then maybe they wouldn't be throwing this much shade on Ned.

The irony of them acting with so much care to not only be sensitive to those who were cheated on, but also because if they made a mistake Ned could sue them!!! The man that blew up their world with his recklessness. Imagine cheating on your wife and then suing your friends holding you accountable. Turns out there is still a new low for Ned to hit.

It’s great seeing that the outpour of support in the comments from viewers has shown Keith, Zack, and Eugene that they’re in good hands and will get through all of this. They’ve built an amazing fan base who’ll have their backs no matter what.

God I cannot imagine how Keith felt performing, whilst knowing that things are about to change and the fear of getting thrown into one pot with Ned and maybe even loosing their good rep. Idk what their relationship with Alex is right now after all of that but damn I hope she just leaves. You surely cannot work with people who have a deep connection with Ariel and knowing that you and your boss are responsible for so much legal issues for not only the company but your colleagues.

We ALL know how Eugene feels, for sure.

These are some good peoples right here. They didn’t just side with Ned, who was wrong, they fired his disgusting ass, and handled this all perfectly. I haven’t watched them in years, but I’m proud of how they handled it all

I think people are misconstruing their omission of Alex to mean they are siding with her. It shows how little people commenting understand these guys. They do not like or want drama. The only time they mention Ned is when they have to. They have not insulted Ned or let their true feelings be known beyond subtle mentions of font usage, for example. So why would they choose to discuss Alex when they don’t have to? They have so many feelings we will never know. And I’m glad. The moral issue of cheating is not why they’re discussing this. It’s the legal and pragmatic issues that are making them mention Ned’s name. They literally called it a workplace violation, not that he’s a cheater and that’s immoral and he’s wholly responsible. Besides that you can tell they just want to move forward. YB has unfollowed Alex. Clearly they aren’t on her side. The internet just craves punishment to satisfy their entitlement and I’m so glad the Try Guys aren’t giving it to them. Ask yourselves why beyond the internet knowing Alex, someone we don’t know, is a cheater… you crave more? Her DMs are probably filled with death threats and she’ll be known as a home wrecker. Contrary to modern culture, the internet should not perform as a recourse to public hangings.

One of the hardest things about the “good ol days” is you truly never know when they’re going to end 💔

Thing is people keep talking about him cheating and him being fired is way too harsh, but the issue isn't just that he cheated its that his entire identity was thrown out the window it's like the vegan teacher being found kicking a cat through the street whilst eating a turkey leg.

The guys are really letting it be known that they’re not playing around

I feel so BAD for Keith man. Imagine being in the ACTUAL literal real life version of the sweats nervously meme. Terrifying.

I dont think we will hear much if anything from Ned or Alex going forward. They remaining Tri guys handled this phenomenally well. Absolute Master Class in handling issues like this. Personally I do hope Ariel comes back to the tri pod I love her on the pod cast but completely understand if she doesn't.

It was just heartbreaking hearing how happy Keith was with his tour only to have it plummet to the ground

I'm actually glad to see that Zach is joking bc he seemed to be the one who was in the most ... Raw? Pain? I hope people know what I m. Eugene is guarded hence his reaction and Keith has the personality type that is less outwardly emotional in regards to serious neg emotion. So I'm glad to see that Zach is joking.

Keith is the disappointed father, Eugene is the angry Asian mother (CLEARLY HE'S PISSED) and Zach is the son, who is really sad and surprised!

The ripple effect from this is insane....it just makes me so sad. I know Keith, Zach, and Eugene will be okay but seeing all the stress and emotions is so painful to watch. They can't get a break from this and they must feel so exposed.

I looked at their socialblade yesterday and they gained 20k subs since their response. I think they will be more than fine in the future.

The fact that they’re filming with Kwesi destroys any speculation that he was covering for Ned at the club because they have proven how serious and honest they are.

I teared up watching this cause of how they’ve had to kind of hide their emotions. And I’m proud of them on how they’ve handle things and they are doing the best they can and taking it one day at time. I’ve been a Try fan since Buzzfeed days so many many years ago and to see this happen and the growth they have done and handle everything it makes me happy. And I know in time everything is gonna be okay! And they will forever be my “non” toxic boys!! 🤗🤗🫶🏻🫶🏻

Not to mention they JUST got a prime spot on food network and bc of this they got moved to a morning spot. This whoooole thing affects their entire business. I feel for the rest of the guys

They genuinely could not have handled this any better. Absolute masterclass on dealing with this sort of thing. Massive respect to the remaining "Tri Guys"

Completely agree with what you said around 5:00 I rediscovered the try guys after kinda losing interest for a couple years. This whole drama reminded me that I actually really enjoy the remaining guys and I’ll make sure to check out their new content

I'm so proud of them handling the situation so good. I've seen them since they started on Buzzfeed and seeing this situation is really really sad. Like I who just a casual fan is disappointed. I can't imagine how they felt.

That pent up frustration and anger in shouting would just lead me to breaking down and cry in the middle of the field 😭 I respect how poise they were in confronting the situation at hand. Appreciate the honesty and openess of the remaining try guys and those involved in making the nessasary changes ❤

Eugene sipping coffee angrily while the other two scream is iconic.

I've been coming up with new try guys episode titles: The Tri Guys consult lawyers. The Tri Guys do an internal review. The Tri Guys fire an ex-friend. The Tri Guys deal with "consensual" workplace relationships. The Tri Guys do divorce. The Tri Guys realize they are better off as three. (Also I just realized the triceratops logo works better with 3 too!)

What I am most excited about is that the three were lately resenting how the channel was limiting the projects they wished they could pursue and grow into. But now with this shakeup, it gives them the chance to grow as professionals even through their channel. Love them and am excited to see how they grow after this!

The way they've handled this has really spoke to their growth and I think they will be just fine (buisness wise). They handled the situation with care and didn't try and hide behind it, and the maturity they've shown has made me love them in a different way then ever before.

Throughout this whole 60 min podcast I think they mentioned Ned’s name once. Goes to show how angry they are since they can barely address him.

Hearing that sentiment from Keith about the shows is the first thing that made me REALLY believe they were definitely going to tell us after their legal stuff. The words he used there finally did it.

You were sooo quick with this. Love it

They were all at different stages of grief. Eugene was at anger, Zach was sadness and Keith was hanging around the low end of acceptance

what i hate the most is the hypocrisy Ned had. And i'm not only talking about the "my wife" guy, but him saying in that vid with kelsey "if you cheat, say so because communication is important " or smn like that, or when he said "it's illegal to have a work relationship when you are HR in that video. Like the Audaaaaacity.

There were more than "several" people affected by Ned. There are many people who work for the company, or who are affiliated with it participating videos, and ALL of them, and their families, could be affected. This impact is huge, as per Keith's description. He talked about his band possibly being hurt by it, and they aren't employees. These types of things have a long and far reach.

Now, if they aren’t replacing ned, then they now truely are the TRI-guys

Thanks for being so respectful of this whole situation. I like to try and keep up and also torture myself by watching other people's reactions, and some reactors/drama channels/ random commenters or tiktokers just seem to not really understand the situation or have respect for the actual people involved (besides Ned, screw that). You just seem like you care and it's not all about joining the drama (or adding to it) and I just really appreciate that and enjoy your vids I've seen.

Eugene was serving with that rage face of his.

Ive said it once and ill say it again. They are handling this so incredibly well and i really really respect them.

Your coverage of this has been the best out of everyone

I never heard of these guys before this situation, but the remaining three guys have gained my respect. I'll happily give their content a shot and I wish the best for them.

I have so much respect for them and how they’ve handled this. Their company will make it through and grow because of how they have addressed the situation.

The hurt in their voices is so sad to hear. I feel so bad for them. I loved Ned and I am sad too, but obviously being an actual friend and co worker of him for 8 years versus me watching behind a screen for the past year created a different type of hurt and sadness. I also feel so bad for Ariel and the kids too, obviously. I’m glad to hear they are still giving her the option to come back to her podcast if she wants. They have handled this so well ❤.

I do think Eugene's line of not sweeping it under the rug and the fact that Ned made it look like their statements were connecting says how Ned wanted it to go. I think they guys have handled this so well and I can completely understand why they are so hurt and angry by it all.

I can’t imagine the pain. The way they’ve felt with it makes me feel mad respect

I’ve been watching them since buzzfeed and honestly it’s still very unreal but also they handled this exactly the way I knew they would they have always been very involved in sucky parts of life and shed light and their distaste for why suck things happened without ever being trolls or offensive 😊 I love them and will always love them and hopefully Ned works on himself and heals

One of the many parts I agree on with them. Is that people need to leave the families and staff alone

I like how Zach, Keith, and Eugene all handled this. I listened to the new episodes of the TryPod today and damn it was sad.

The “making the little one grow facial hair” comment is hilarious tbh

I didn't really know about the Try Guys before this but you're 100% correct that they've gained fans from this. I feel bad that this is the situation that brought me to them and i truly hope they can heal from losing their friend. I just hope the best for them and will enjoy seeing their future content 💖

Has Becky said anything yet? Waiting for her to tear Ned a new asshole tbh. Haven't watched the video all the way through so idk if it was mentioned in here. Maybe they'll cover it on You Can Sit With Us when they're ready, if ever.

Guys! Three of you guys did NOTHING WRONG! You’ve done everything you could once you found out.

just finished the podcast and yhh I always kew I liked kieth and the way they all spoke about this and im very happy to see them all move on

I know no one says Ned was their favorite but...at one point he was my favorite. Decent looking guy, smart (chemist from Yale) and yeah, the wife guy. I related HARD. I liked him at one point. Now I can't look at him, without looking like Eugene. >:(

This story is so sad but they will get through it!

i think alex is still working there because if you look on their yt bio, her name is still there but ned was removed already

Spilly, thanks for all your hard work lately to keep us informed and entertained 🍷 You are my #1 source

It just is so unbelievable that someone would throw their whole life away and for what?! Nothing!

Thx for the highlights

I'm just happy to see that they got Kwesi in one of their upcoming videos. Dude's married, too. He's the perfect replacement 👌

I didnt see their content that much , but I'll be sure to tune in based on how well they've handled the whole situation. They continue to be very professional but sencere and vulnerable. Very difficult to navigate, these guys are good at their job

I have always been a fan. These guys were so genuine and real with their response, professionals all the way. I like them even more now.

There's a video where one of the guys misspeaks that a workplace relationship scandal is an HR nightmare. They had accidentally said PR, and Ned corrected them and said that it could be a big PR win (jokingly)... I actually think he was right. The remaining guys may be afraid about what the public will think- but I think the circumstance grew their audience, and made people love the three of them more. It's really going to only be a career lose for Ned and possibly Alex... rightly so. Those who liked the try guys love them now, those who loved the try guys love them more, and those who weren't aware have now been introduced. I know it's a teeny tiny Silver lining, but the way they handled this scandal showed their character... It's just too bad that Ned's character was demonstrated by creating this scandal.

I've been a fan of theirs for many years. My respect for them has grown throughout all of this.

5:00 Yes absolutely! I never watched a single video of theirs before because I didn’t find them too entertaining but now I’m a fan and subscribed, I just binge watched so many vids of theirs last night! :D

Honestly Keith listening to Olivia Rodrigo is a mood

This situation is incredibly heartbreaking for Ariel and her children and and I hope that she will find peace and healing from this painful situation. But I have a hard time believing none of them had any knowledge about what was going on

One of the things that really made me admire and respect them even more was their core. You know who someone is when shit goes down, and they remained transparent, honorable, respectful, and really open about their feelings. While it looks horrible on the outside of everything that’s going on, something I hope they realize is that they upheld their company personality/motto: of just being good fucking people and still making people smile even through the bad.

This drama seems to never end… and I am here for it 💀

THE FACT THAT NEDS STATEMENT WASNT WITH THEIRS MAKES ME SO HAPPY! I actually got so angry when I first saw them all that I unfollowed them all and then I calmed down and realized even if they did coordinate responses that it wasn't the fault of rest of them. Just ned.

I appreciate how open they have been about the situation and their actions. Most companies would just release one statement and sweep the rest under the rug.

Feel like this may be a blessing in disguise for the Try Guys with Ned doing what he did and Ned now being gone. I see them thriving more than before.

Really glad they didn't make excuses for ned and keep him on

You just know Eugene wasn’t there because he couldn’t hold back

Gotta say I love these guys. For once I’m glad some viral crap caused a mature conversation. Because they’ve been taking it seriously like adults. If only more adults would act like adults. Be conscious of your surroundings/environment.

It's such a sad situation for all involved. It is truly a good example of one person's selfish actions having unbelievable ramifications on an entire group of people. For Ned, this was the 'sliding doors' moment of his life. Also if you guys haven't seen the movie sliding doors, please watch it, it's a great film. The theme being how one decision can alter the course of your life and the lives of others. The try guys dealt with this problem the best way they could have. I hope the media hype calms down now because that must be stressful in an extreme way.
