The group revealed that they first became aware of Fulmer’s conduct when fans reached out to them over Labour Day weekend saying they had seen the YouTuber “engaged with an employee in public romantic behavior.” Subsequently, Fulmer confirmed to Habersberger, Kornfeld and Yang that he was carrying on an affair with a Try Guys employee and that the affair “had been going on for some time.” Habersberger said that the revelation was “very shocking for us” and “we had no idea this was going on.” In the wake of Fulmer’s confirmation, Yang explained that the group began a three-week process engaging with “employment lawyers, corporate lawyers, HR, PR and more in order to make sure we were taking all necessary steps.” “From the jump, we were acutely aware of just how contrary this was to the values of the company we built,” he added.
