A YouTuber has broken his silence three years after a ‘devastating’ cheating scandal broke the internet.
Ned Fulmer was once a member of the popular YouTube channel, the Try Guys, where he gained a following of thousands of fans.
He was well known among his fans as being a ‘wife guy’, meaning that he often posted content relating to his devotion for his wife Ariel Fulmer.
However, the internet was shocked when in 2022, it was revealed that Ned had been having an affair with his producer when a photo of the pair appearing to kiss went viral.

As a result, Ned left his position at the Try Guys and has been pretty quiet on social media since the scandal.
Now though, Ned is back with his own podcast titled Rock Bottom with Ned Fulmer.
In the channel’s description of the podcast, it details: “Everyone makes mistakes. Some of us - really big ones. But what comes next? Rock Bottom is a show that explores people’s lowest, most embarrassing, and challenging moments. Featuring raw, unfiltered conversations with comedians, creators, authors and celebrities, we talk about how they not only survived it all but transformed their lives.
“Hosted by Ned Fulmer, the ex-BuzzFeed Try Guys co-creator whose own Rock Bottom ranked #6 of Time’s Most Viral Moments of 2022, the show blends curiosity and empathy to tell stories of experience, strength and hope. Because sometimes the only way out is through...one podcast at a time.”
Many viewers were stunned to see that his first guest is his wife Ariel, who Ned is now separated from.
During the conversation, the pair discussed how the scandal affected them and what their relationship looks like today.
The pair shared that they are still friends and are working together to co-parent their two children, even venturing on a summer vacation in Greece this year.
Viewers took to the YouTube comment section to react to the video, with one user saying: “its aggravating me that Ariel is being so open and honest about her pain and yet he cant manage to go into specifics about what he said and how he justified his betrayal. You wanna start a podcast about people at their lowest and how they felt, how they coped, where they are now but you cant even fully put your shame out on the table episode 1.”
Another wrote: “Good for Ariel for not forgiving him but also coparenting kindly. I hope she finds someone who loves her like the amazing queen she is.”
A third person commented: "Ariel is so strong for doing this podcast and having a platonic relationship with Ned after all he's done. This entire conversation is an example of her strength.”
And a fourth added: “Their set is so quiet you can hear the equipment buzzing. My heart breaks for Ariel.”
