Ned Fulmer, a member of popular YouTube collective ‘the Try Guys,’ has been expelled from the group amid allegations that he cheated on his wife, Ariel Fulmer, in a viral internet thread.
The Try Guys are some of YouTube’s most prominent content creators… but their usually drama-free channel is rife with speculation as accusations of infidelity swarm the internet.
The group, comprised of members Keith Habersberger, Ned Fulmer, Zach Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang, are generally known for trying a variety of different things and experiences (hence the name), from period pain simulators to making pies without a recipe.
However, one member of the gang was seemingly absent from their latest haul of first-tries — and fans noticed almost immediately.
Viewers couldn’t help but note that Ned Fulmer was apparently absent from the Try Guys’ last three YouTube videos and podcast episodes, although he is still present in their group photos and promotional material.
That’s not all; Eagle-eyed fans also noticed that Fulmer’s wife, Ariel, was missing from the two latest episodes of ‘You Can Sit With Us,’ a podcast helmed by the Try Guys’ wives.
The Try Guys have also reduced the amount of content they’re currently producing, recently announcing that they will upload one video a week throughout the month of October.

Herring’s fiancee, Will Thayer, allegedly removed all his photos with her on Instagram and purportedly unfollowed her, although his account is now private.
These allegations are still unconfirmed — but that isn’t stopping Try Guys fans from dropping their jaws in shock over the situation online, with many commenters rushing to Fulmer’s Instagram account asking him to “speak up right now.”

Shortly afterward, Fulmer published a separate statement to his social media accounts, where he claimed he’d “lost focus” from his family and had “a consensual workplace relationship.”
“I’m sorry for any pain that my actions may have caused to the guys and the fans, but most of all to Ariel,” he wrote. “The only thing that matters right now is my marriage and my children, and that’s where I’m going to focus my attention.”
Ariel also posted a statement speaking on the current situation, similarly thanking their fans and asking for privacy for their family during this time.
This is just the latest influencer-related cheating scandal to capture the internet following the ongoing feud between Addison Rae’s parents, Monty Lopez and Sheri Easterling.
