After Gus Johnson, I don't know if I'm ready to put my faith in "wholesome innocent midwestern comedy guy" again just yet. Maybe it'll be okay as long as he doesn't move to L.A.
He was apparently a dick to his ex GF (she was in a lot of his skits) when she had a very dangerous miscarriage.
That whole deal is a mess. A bunch of he said/she said, and both of them look worse off for it. She said that he wouldn't go to couples therapy, he showed texts that proved he was fine and that she could pick out the therapist, etc etc.
It was something that should've been done in private, but they aired it out for all to see.
So he didn't really do anything unusually wrong and this is just the typical break up drama that happens in every relationship that should have ended years before it did?
No, he definitely didn't act appropriately and deserved criticism but nowhere near the amount he received considering how grey the situation was.
His ex also behaved questionably to the point where I have a hard time taking her word at face value, especially when you hear both sides of the story.
If he hadn't been a prolific youtuber at the time the situation wouldn't have been anything worse than small town gossip fodder.
His ex released a video about her ectopic pregnancy (I think thats what it was about). In it she talked about how her boyfriend was kinda a piece of shit and was mean to her over it and super unsupprtive. She never said it was Gus but people were able to piece timelines together and figured out it was him.
IIRC; he knows he should have been more understanding about the ectopic pregnancy, but 'really abusive' is wholly unwarranted. Someone else mentioned the paymoneywubby interview. That's worth watching. Gus is an ok dude, it turns out.
