what happened with Gus?

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?

He was potentially a bad boyfriend.

The internet pulled pitchforks and simped for his ex.

New details came to light showing he was most likely just a bad boyfriend and not the monster he was being painted as.

Anchoring bias has most people saying he's still a piece of shit in order to not have to admit they jumped to conclusions and judged him unfairly.

So, basically yes. Something that should have been none of anyone's business was made public (by her) and the court of public opinion sentenced him.
