I think the saddest thing about all this is that there is an RTAA where Ryan tells a Story about this crazy series of events that caused him to miss a flight home when he left the Let’s Play Family Reunion early to “Get home to his kids” only to find out that it was complete Bullshit and he was actually meeting up with someone. Another piece of Content that really hit hard knowing what we do now is in the Off Topic that Ray was on (170-Something) where Michael and Geoff discuss how weird it is that Ryan would stay at a Hotel and leave a Day Later than everyone else and when Michael confronted him about it, Ryan claimed it was so he could get some extra rest because “His Kids wouldn’t leave him alone if he tried sleeping at home”
basically everything about Ryan Haywood over the last decade has taken on a sinister undertone now. There's 10 years of rooster teeth content that none of us can go back to in good conscience because of him and Adam Kovic
@@TomboTime, at the very least I can watch Adam, his stuff was way less compared to Ryan. Cheating on his wife and sending her stuff and in doing stuff in the office space compared to Ryan is different levels of shitty. Ryan was a monster, Adam was a dick. It’s still icky but I can watch stuff with him, I don’t prefer it but I can blot out my dislike. I just can’t with Ryan.
Imagine being Ryan's wife right now. With every waking moment, another person comes forward with their own 'RH Story' and have texts, pics, videos, etc. to back up their claims, and on top of all of this, his wife is getting harassed and threatened by asshats when she is a total innocent in all this. This isn't a 'have him sleep on the couch' type of punishment. This isn't a 'have him sleep in another room' type of punishment. This is a 'kick him out of the house' type of punishment. This is a 'divorce him and get primary custody of the kids' type of punishment. This is a 'revert back to my maiden name and move on with my life' type of punishment. My heart goes out to Ryan's wife. Whatever decisions she makes going forward, we have to respect them.
His wife kept her maiden name anyway. He always said she was a vet and didnt share his last name. Secondly this isn't the first ti.e this has happened. Brandon "Fragger" Light was told to purge the servers for anything related to David "Knuckles Dawson" Dreger. When he worked for them. It was so well swept under the rug the only one who spoke of it was Frager. After he mysteriously vanished from the company in its early years. Resurficing to admit why he left. The only difference so far we know Ryan target what he thought (Leigh) was legal age (his other known victims so far). While Dreger tsrgeted girls from 12-14. However Dreger was found dead from an apparent suicide in a park.
i honestly don't know why people are attacking his family. like why would they do that when they're already in pain? Can an asshole explain why they think it's okay to harass his family???? (cuz only assholes would think it's okay)
I think the worst part is that this is all public. It’s one thing to know your spouse cheated on you multiple times. But for her, the entire internet knows he cheated. We exactly how he cheated, what he said, who he was with, why he did it... She gets no sense of privacy to come to terms with everything. My heart aches for her.
@@adamnicholes1002, I mean Jack and Geoff immediately fired the guy and Jack told him to get the hell out when he found out he went to RTX after. It’s not like they ‘swept it under the rug’ they immediately dealt with it, he wasn’t even a actual employee I think just a guy who helped with the website.
Man, I remember being an AH fan back when the original crew was there, Ray, Gavin, etc. This is just, I dont even know what to say. Disgusting doesn't even do it justice.
There are multiple reasons for why they are scrubbing him from their site, not just to push it under the rug. They all had a connection with him and it hurts their team to bring him back up. There are videos with just Ryan in them that are not deserving of being kept up given the situation. They don’t want to give him a platform to be seen nor make a profit off of him. This isn’t to save face, it’s a punishment. They don’t want to earn money from a “monster” and don’t believe he deserves a platform. It has nothing to do with politics, all to do with morality.
They said something to the effect of they're having to go back and delete things that , given new information, change the context of the content in the video. Considering some of the things that he's said, or the things they joked about regarding him over the past several years, they're going to be scrubbing a LOT of content.
@@Martin0 can’t really see any real reason to keep the thirsty tweets for Ryan video given what we know now. That would just leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth who knows what he’s like now
Not gonna lie but I’m somewhat glade that I started to drift away from watching RT/AH’s content, but hearing all this stuff about Ryan is just absolutely gut wrenching because he was also the one member of AH that I looked up too the most.
RT is dying really. The only thing that keep them relevant is AH. I agree, Ryan is the last guy we suspect to do these disgusting actions. We always look up to him.
Yeah the good old days were awesome but now they feel not as good anymore like a piece is lost forever and I might not ever watch those old minecraft or gta vids anymore but it's more than that when I was young I had a reverence for AH and Ryan was a part of that now... well now it feels dark and sad. I hope his family will be okay one day
The first time I saw the headline “ Ryan Haywood leaving Rooster Teeth” I immediately thought this would be a Ray type leave and that he was going to be streaming and do that mainly. But then I saw what he’s done and it’s really been hard for me. Watching the first video and some of the first follow ups, I was literally torn in half. Achievement Hunter has been a huge part of my preteen and teen years. Of course, these past couple of months I have been moving away from them due to timing and not blending with new personalities. But I had always liked Ryan. Seeing this is truly heartbreaking. It’s like you said, it’s extremely hard to defend Ryan. I wasn’t going to from the start but I thought maybe he can have a second chance because everyone deserves a second chance. But this... it truly hurts watching this. I think I’ll just have to put on a mindset when watching old videos with Ryan because some of my favorite videos had Ryan in it ( all of the Between the Games and Uno the Movie ). I really don’t know what the future will hold for him, but it’s hard to see something you liked for so long go through this and knowing that he did the wrong thing and you shouldn’t support him. You supported him for so long but you just can’t anymore. I feel sorry for the girls that went through this, and I feel sooo bad about Ryan’s family... they never deserved this.
I agree with you tomodachi. My preteen years were filled with memories of these absolute mad group of lads and gents playing minecraft and now with this situation is heartbreaking and if me some random fan is heartbroken and disgusted and a whole lot of other shit then I can only imagine what his family must be feeling.
Based off of Ryan's statement, he sounds like some type of a sociopath, just no remorse for his actions, only because he got caught and the game is over. I could be wrong but it's just fucking sickening some of this shit he has done. As Jack said, he is a monster.
One thing I'm glad about is I sort of left rooster teeth after they just redid Achievement city for the 3-4 time where it was rayn or Michael walling in a village
This was a really disturbing update, but I’m glad I saw it. I was annoyed when I heard AH were going to be taking down and editing videos, but after these details; watching old videos where they are all laughing together feel kind of... wrong. I see why some changes will need to be made with past content. Thanks for making these update videos.
I've been a fan since I was 10 and Ryan was one of my favorites, only to find out this, it's absolutely heart breaking thinking I was admiring a monster makes me sick. I can't even imagine the pain all of the AH guys are feeling, trusting someone who did shit like this
He’s a disgusting piece of shit with no empathy either “what I did wasn’t illegal”. No remorse, no regret. Fuck him, I never even liked his ass in AH anyways.
@@daniellacey6001 yeah but you do realize the girl that had the most chat logs wasn’t actually from or in Texas right lol doesn’t matter what Texas rules are if it’s not in Texas
Dude I appreciate you getting evidence about him and revealing who he really is dude he was a guy I looked up to when starting my channel and twitch and I always said "I'm going to be a good husband and father like this man" and seeing this just makes me feel so fucking dirty I'm subbed dude
@@cpc_smoke7326 in a sense you almost feel cheated, we feel lied to?? its not because you knew him personally but because you always had respect for the facade / mask he put on, THAT was the Ryan we all knew and loved, but that was NEVER Ryan. THIS is.
Same here man. It's just fucking painful innit? He was my role model for content creation and entertainment. I hate him so much now because we were just so fucking similar that it scares the everloving shit out of me.
@@ChivalrousSnake if what yoyu say is true then you have no reason to fear, YOURE NOT him, you will be greater than he ever could be. its funny how people turn on others so quickly, but given the circumstances, can you blame us?
I watched their live stream today. Michael and Jack were really upset. At one point he actually called Ryan a monster. They are also going to go through and scrub everything with Ryan in it, popular or not. Ryan will probably now be "he who shall not be named." I can understand the sentiment, but I don't like erasing people, no matter how bad they are. As they say, you will either be an example for others or a warning.
THis sounds more like a precedent to purge RT of certain persons. There certainly has been a purge of very specific personalities. And a growing specific slant in RT. Meanwhile RT hires only fans having hoes. To think that this is merely a thing that is happening to the lads, is a grave mistake. RT has been getting creepier ever since the Political slant it took.
@@boguslav9502 You're statement is why Ryan's actions are so damaging. It stains the entire crew, putting doubt on the rest of the group as well. I may not agree with the "de-personing," but I can understand that they are hurting and are trying to minimize the damage Ryan has done amidst their pain. Please don't let politics cloud their actions in this incident. I'm on the opposite side of the political spectrum from RT/AH, but I need to remember that they are people who are even more shocked than we are because they knew and worked with him closely for so many years.
@@boguslav9502 UHM just because someone has an only fans does not make them a hoe nor does any sex work make anyone less human or deserving to be criticized for what they choose to do with their own body. What Ryan did is DISGUSTING, he used his power to have sex with fans and do things with fans. I fully support the erasure of him on their channels, not because they are trying to forget about it but because of the people he has hurt. Imagine having something you loved and looked forward to, and idolized so much tainted with abuse and manipulation that takes years to even partially heal from. They are doing it because the fans of AH who have been hurt by this creep deserve to be able to watch their videos without possibly being triggered into a ptsd episode. Their reaction also means if someone were to be hired and do this shit again, it might be caught faster because the fans will know without a doubt that AH will believe them and not victim blame. It generally seems you don't think of women as equal, calling us hoes vs this monster being called a Lad however (and this might surprise you) WE ARE PEOPLE and deserve to be treated equally. We deserve every right to watch AH and expect them to conduct themselves in a professional manner while talking to fans at all times. Young women and young men are highly susceptible to things like this because they love the creator so much and will do things so they like them even if they don't want to. Its grooming, its power play and its absolutely despicable. Red vs Blue was NOT inclusive with women (2 in the first few seasons, sheila a tank and then the actual player i forget the name) so you're mad because they are letting "hoes" in but they are growing in inclusivity if you just wanna see a bunch of dicks be dicks on the internet go watch something else. They have grown as a company and it shows. They care about their fans and any fan who sympathizes with Ryan or thinks it's simply because they want more only fan hoes is NOT a fan of AH at all they even say it themselves. They are protecting their female audience and letting us know that it is 100% okay to come forward and that every accusation will be taken seriously. You have NO IDEA how scary it is to go against someone with a huge platform and even just ONE person coming forward helps others gain the courage to do so. You have NO IDEA what its like to constantly be in fear of getting sexually assaulted. He was preying on young minds that idolized him and caused irreparable damage to these women's mental health and feelings of security. What they did to take this seriously is so rare and amazing and while this is a HORRIBLE thing to have occurred I hope it will help set a precedent that creeps are not allowed or liked. That more companies will take their women and men (emoloyees/customers/consumers) seriously when they say something is wrong. They are setting an example of what should be done when something like this happens. Do you know how damaging it would have been to not only their company, but to their female audience if they called these women liars? It would hurt their business but moreover it would hurt their female audience to see them call us liars and not believe us. The damage that would cause the victims of what happened? It could solidify to those fans that all they are are cash cows and meat bags to fuck. AH did something others haven't, listen to women and take us seriously and that is a big deal especially for a company so large. I am proud of them for how they handled this situation. Take your disgusting women hating ass somewhere not related to AH, preferably nowhere.
@@ghosttype5884 I don't want to invalidate anything you're saying about ryan or rt, but your stance on only fans and sex work is very hypocritical. While they shunned ryan they publicly celebrate these women even though their source of income almost necessitates the exact same behavior. Only fans actually only works if someone uses their body, status, and influence to manipulate others. Many young or mentally distressed men have lost their financial stability, confidence, or personal relationships because of women like these. They also have speech patterns and delusions very similar to ryan's victims. The victims also similarly came to ryan first. The only difference I can find is if you believe that women's bodies and minds just inherently matter more than men's. You're entitled to your opinion, but it's a weird place to try and take the moral high ground. Btw "NO IDEA"? Idk what you know about the guy, but almost everyone has had to worry about sexual assault at one point or another.
don’t you all think it’s maybe not his fault that’s the only way he knows how to flirt? With most guys growing up on porn they don’t know how to correctly talk to a female in general and some don’t even try which is worse in my opinion. Plus all of the girls (all legal ages) could have just decided not do anything with him, or not like his style of conversation, OR being mostly fans they KNEW he had a family and kids regardless of what he said to them did they not have sympathy for his family? Even if he isn’t making a good decision they shouldn’t have helped him no matter how much they pleaded, takes 2 to tango, they probably just got caught in trying to chase “clout” and that’s their own fault. all seems a like a big part of the canceling culture, don’t want to get hated on either but it’s weird to see so many people turn their backs on him especially the original guys, like I have friends that fucked up harder than hard, but at the end of the day, I was there to visit them when no one would and to grab a beer with them when everyone was shunning them, everyone needs someone to help them back when they fuck up, I never let my friends down even at their lowest unless they made a deliberate attack on me as a person. But this doesn’t take away the fact that he did put his family in a bad situation, but maybe he just needed to get some marriage counseling and his wife never helped him get it together because I can 100 percent guarantee that if he was cheating on his wife then there was a lack of sexual arousal in the bedroom and they needed to see someone to fix it or split. Point is adultery is not a crime and neither is talking to 17(legal in the states in question) or 18 or having sexual relations with them, any guy cheats on a girl and it like Ight he’s just like every other man and they go on with their day, but for some reason everyone has Ryan on some high horse
Not to mention one of the girls ended up making fun of Ryan’s wife for not realizing and just overall had not sympathy for the people who really were hurt by this THE WIFE AND CHILDREN they were taken by surprise by this, all the females involved were taken by consent
@@Keystone762 this specific comment is about your claim of cancel culture and "you can't believe so many people would turn their backs on him." He did something horrible and those around him decided they could not forgive him for it. That is not "turning your back" on him, that is establishing a very firm boundary of what is acceptable behavior. Everyone is allowed to decide for themselves what they will and won't tolerate from others. You stated that you stayed friends with someone who "did something worse," which is your choice to make, but is not necessarily a choice someone else would have made. The idea behind cancel culture is to not only bring to light horrible abuses that people commit against each other, but to demand an accountability process of change to STOP abuse from happening again. It's true that when someone gets cancelled they do need a support system to help them recover, but no one is obligated to volunteer as that support, and the main role of that support is to be a firm push to rehabilitation. True support comes from those closest and have the most to lose. We the audience are not his friends, and cannot (and should not try to) offer support because that will not encourage him to change his behavior. If you continued to hang out with your friend like nothing happened then you did not help him recover, you allowed him to stay comfortable with his bad choices. Yes it's true that if every single 'good' influence in his life leaves him then the only people left will be 'worse' than him and he will never rehabilitate his behavior, but where would you honestly rank your involvement in this? Do you think that calling into question the validity of the victims' statements is a 'good influence'? Do you think saying his co-workers shouldn't disown him is encouraging him to improve his behavior? I want you to really think about what impact your suggestions would have on those who have already suffered and those who might yet suffer if nothing changes
I never really watched the new AH content. I’d always stay in the golden era and rewatch videos from 2012-2014 cause they always seemed to really enjoy what they did back then. Even though things changed as time went on, I always still had those videos and could always just turn them on in the background. Now it’s hard to watch anything with Ryan in it and I don’t think I’ll be able to see those videos the same way anymore. Seems like now it’s just time to move on from the whole thing and, even though it sucks, it just goes to show that not everything works out and all we can do is accept it
I get that the SC conversations were sexually charged, but was he really only capable of bringing everything back to sex? Even the cupcake thing around 10:05 where he can't help but be sexual with it.
I mean the downside is that everything is gonna look suspect with hindsight. Even things that has no place or sexual connotations will be scrutinized in the same way due to all the available information we have now.
@@Scoophash even rt commented about that point specifically. I think it was micheal who said he never really payed attention to what he said during streams and shit but thinking back his words are a lot more dark than just a joke now
no, a couple were minors. and despite most them being adults, there is such a thing called a power dynamic which could influence those who look up to people into doing things they normally wouldn't because they want to make those they look up to happy.
He’s one sick individual that bloke. AH will probs have to pull all his content cause no way they now want to even be associated with him. This could have massive ripple affects on the whole company tbh. I hope these girls coming out are actually okay and I’m glad they’ve sort of found each other in a way to comfort one another and reaffirm that he didn’t just do it to one person, that it wasn’t just a one off mistake, that he needed to be stopped and all these brave girls coming out have stopped him
They'll most likely remove all of the Technical Difficulties videos since that was Ryan's show but I don't know if they can fully remove Ryan from every single video he's been in. Ryan has been in over 10 years worth of videos.
It's impossible for them to remove him from every video he was in cause at this point thats damn near 80-90% of their content over the last decade. Ryan was popular, arguably the most popular member of AH until now. Unfortunately, the best they can do is scrub Technical Difficulties and all images of him from the store and site.
What I find disturbing is that Gus or Geoff haven't addressed this at all... They're just acting like they're going to move along from it and the company is going to continue as is which is unacceptable... They had a sex offender in their company and they're not addressing it?
I hope his wife and kids find a way to either kick him out or they move somewhere else. They don't need this disgusting piece of shit to live with them. Those poor kids.
I have to assume that Laurie and the kids are staying somewhere else OR (better scenario) Ryan got booted and is living in another location at the moment. He most likely has more than enough money to rent a small apartment or AirBNB somewhere.
I’m 23 and this hurts me. I’ve followed them for over half my life...I don’t know what to believe or feel. I’ve seen the leaked pics for Adam. But Ryan..wtf
@@YoBoyGio you can find a google doc of it all. Search 4chan or just type in Adam kovic leaked pics. Didn’t take too long only a couple mins of looking. There’s like 100 pics and like 6 videos. It’s mostly just adams p and butt with various toys included. And his giving bjs to toys. Only 2 pics of his wife and they aren’t very flattering. I deleted the doc cz I wasn’t gonna fap to it and I was disgusted on what I seen. I’ll recover the doc and send it if your struggling to find it
@@YoBoyGio heres the supposed thread of the leaked info and pics summarised in a forum which i found shared across certain areas of reddit. also a slight warning its very disturbing and twisted. kiwifarms.net/threads/adam-kovic-ryan-haywood-the-dead-pixel-koko-pikovic-and-james-ryan-haywoood-iron-ryan-the-mad-king-vagabond.77130/
Wow thanks I just checked it out and I’m surprise/shocked. I get mostly Ryan story he was flirting with girls and cheating with a girl who was 17 but thought 18. So Adam just got hacked? Seem like he was just sending those to his wife. I think the question is did she know right? I think she did in my opinion just like most couple do just flirt and send stuff but sucks overall idk
This is it, this is the nail in the coffin for me. 10+ years of fandom, just gone...wasted for this snake. Also don’t want to attack you like some other commenters have for having maybe some incorrect info. But from what I’ve seen the girls were in fact underage, not all of them but I believe 2 of them were.
@@hiddeninanxiety2265 No one is defending him, however from what I have read, while he spoke to the girls who were underage, he never had any sexual relations with underage girls, Ryan hasn't been arrested, or charged with a crime, so until then, he isnt a criminal but still a fucking awful loser
Also I think for one of them he asked if she was in high school or college and she said college because, get this, she graduated high school early so she actually was in college.
@@ChrisK0403 roosterteeth has a show hosted by Jeremy Dooly called chump where 2 people tell the truth and one lies, if they can find the lier the loser gets named chump. Kinda fits the whole ryan situation.
its been a year and this still occasionally crosses my mind and knocks me on my ass. i had a crush on that man for a very formative period of my life (from abt 14 until i found out what he had done). he was my favourite, my phone background. ryan haywood compilations were my comfort videos. and finding out that everything i loved about him was just some facade that he put on felt like a punch to the gut. i still struggle to watch ah content sometimes. it just hurts too much
In a way, you can argue that this has a lot to do with the persona the community has made of him. You see a lot of comments that "thirst" for Ryan with wanting much of the sexual abuse from him like the choking for example. I'm not justifying his actions, but it can be argued that Ryan thought of it as roleplay with the character the community built for him that got way out of hand.
The shit Ryan said to her is legit, damn near word for word, the same stuff the guys on To Catch A Predator have said in chat to underaged girls/boys. This is the stuff Chris reads off to them and they full on deny it or come up with some arbitrary excuse for. His obsession with the word "Daddy" shows he loved every fucking bit of it. Dudes fucked in the head, more now than he's ever been. It makes his dark comedic moments that much more dark. Its honestly so fucking disturbing. I'll never view him, and unfortunately Achievement Hunter and Rooster Teeth the same ever again.
Not just that, but after she sent him whatever explicit pic it was she sent, HE CALLED HER KIDDO. K I D D O. Who the hell does that?! Plus, he wanted her in pigtails, kept focusing on her "innocent face," fetishized her virginity, it's just...ugggh.
@@amandas2639 I know! Absolutely disgusting. He knew exactly what he was doing, no matter how much he might deny it. I mean he even asks her if she's been with an older man, and says he'll teach her("baby girl") how to please a man. Just..gross 🤢🤮
Those same frases are used in Dom/sub relationships, where the dom can be even said to "own" the sub. But its the rest that actually are the bad parts.
So, let me get this straight: She instigates a sexual relationship with him, continues it, voluntarily meets with him, consents to sex multiple times, never tells him she wants out of it, and somehow she is a victim? lol y'all wild
I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but after seeing this...my god. I was wondering why there were so many warnings at the beginning of this video but then when the screenshots came pouring in, my stomach dropped. I can wholeheartedly say now that he isn't sorry for what he did, he's sorry he got caught. I mean, days apart from each other? He's a predator! this is absolutely disgusting.
This poor girl, shes not the first girl to say how rough he was with them.....reading his messages makes my teeth itch, like I know alot of people have that sort of kink but knowing how young these girls are makes it 10x worse. Also the second girl with the same hotel room, I can imagine it's close to the hundreds with how many girls hes done this with considering hes been doing this for years
@Nelson Lambert that's okay, its messed me up too, I've been a fan of Ah for about 9 years now and it's got me through some tough times.....just sad I wont be able to watch their past content because Ryan is mostly in them, hearing his voice makes me sick I just cant do it
@Nelson Lambert congrats on the pregnancy, I followed AH as a teen and now I'm 28 and have a young daughter and all I want to do is protect her from men like this, it's just scary when you think you know someone......I hope AH can recover from this but to me I'm done with it, it was never the same after Ray left but I stuck with them but this has gone too far for me
@@hannahhobnob20 and that is totally understandable, however, here is my advice (a friendly stranger from the interenet) push forward and support future AH endeavors, support them going forward and love their NEW content (if you can obviously).
I really appreciate that you guys had gameplay video as the like, backdrop. It helps to.... I guess keep my subconscious distracted while hearing about this honestly disgusting topic? Good reporting and thank you for posting this.
Two days ago I started watching AH again, I introduced it to my girlfriend and showed her what I watched when I was a teen. I told her Ryan was my favorite. So... I feel pretty shit for helping this monster build his platform so he could do all this.
Not defending rayn but given his first video was when they were trying out some people to join the team like Joel in episode 2 then him in the pig Olympics, I hope that arsewipe gets what's coming to him
Watched these guys since middle school in 2013. Seeing all this shit is really hitting me hard right now. He was such a core member to the group with literally being the core part of many series. Battle Buddies, Technical Difficulties, any modded Minecraft server because he was always the one running it. I feel terrible for all the people he hurt, but it just hurts to know that he did this. He betrayed everything just to fall to his darker desires
This whole situation just shocks me. I loved him and I looked up to him. I met him at kami con in Alabama in the beginning of February. I mean, thinking that when I met him this all could've been going on behind the scenes? Kinda makes me sick ngl
You say it was consensual but the stealthing is not (and in a lot of places is legally rape), and the choking wasn't either. Caiti said it on her insta livestream, informed consent is not possible when you don't have all the information on what you're consenting to. Which includes him lying about how many people he was sleeping with, and not using condoms with them.
How does she have pics of the convos, unless she took them right after they were sent? I just went back and tried to look at old messages on snap chat with my friends. Nothing there. How did she go back and get the convos?
You can choose to manually save each chat in SC, however either party can set the conversation to automate delete after a day even if they are saved, and one would expect an experienced internet predator to know of such a functionality and use it, so I guess there’s a tick in both columns there on the plausibility of this.
I know man :/ I’ve watched these guys over the years, just a bunch of dudes who’ve known each other for years, having a good time making videos. Knowing that Ryan actually did these things is painful to know.
I've just had to click off this video 8 minutes in. I've been watching rooster teeth and achievement hunter since the halo reach days. I remember Ryan being my favourite member of achievement hunter. I've only just found out about this about an hour ago and I'm destroyed by this. I never met Ryan or any of the achievement hunter crew but it was always a dream of mine. I'm just shocked and disappointed with all of this. After watching a clip from the stream with jack and Michael and seeing how broken they were, I still didn't know what was going on due to them not mentioning his name until jack said "I sat next to that monster for years" that's when it hit me and that's when I realized how real this all was.
Uhm so the clickbait is saying “his girls’ p***y needs more abuse”, yet I didn’t catch the part in this video. Someone wanna point out which time duration this topic was?
I’ve been pulling away from roosterteeth for a while, and now that Ryan and achievement hunter is officially dead to me, I have nothing left of those good memories.
The youngest are 17. For his scheme there has to be an ability to let them be old enough that parents didn't think anything of them being at conventions alone.
@@reignydays8825 it still makes my stomach flip every time i think about it. how can he say “think about my family; my kids’ lives will be ruined” when he had absolutely no thought of them and the repercussions while having sex with barely legal fans. he’s a perverted hypocrite and thinking abt him makes me wanna take a shower in acid
Three years later, and sometimes TH-cam will pop up a video recommendation from when this was all going on, and it breaks my heart all over again. I sometimes... recoiled? I guess? For lack of a better word, early on, because he was a more 'traditional' father than Geoff, and I grew up with abusive parents (active mother, enabling-with-inaction father), so I reflexively get anxious when presented with people who give off Normal Parent vibes. (My parents sure as hell gave that impression beyond the front door.) But he stopped setting off that internal alarm fairly quickly, and I had really loved the Mad King persona and such, because that kind of character in straight up fiction is also one of the more entertaining ones for me. But probably around The World Is Lava, when he made the comment about buying a lot of wine being how he stayed married, which was just before the earliest reports that I can remember, I started getting icky feelings from him again. I see why now. I got preyed on by someone similar, though in a different circumstance, back when I was barely legal as well. I should've recognized wtf was going on, but it'd been 15 years, so much of it had gone to the back of my mind, as I had been mostly healed from that for a long time. It wasn't something that had much more relevance on my present. I wish I had paid more attention. I might not've been so blindsided by this. (btw, where's the link to the doc? I think I know which one you're talking about, but it's not in my Google Docs history, and I don't see a link in the description. Did it get taken down?)
See I don’t really know the full story.. but she kinda enabled the guy. It’s like a drug addiction, there’s probably part of it he can’t control. Not justifying his actions or anything but she really should have blocked him when she first got uncomfortable or first realized he might be wack
I've watched AH from when it started. I think RT was barely a year active when my brother and I discoverd them. I remember when RT and AH became two different entities, but still kind of leaned on each other, when they hired Gavin, Jack, Ryan, Michael, Ray etc. God I've laughed, cried and grew up with them. It is so heartbreaking to see someone just destroy everything like that. And I'm just a fan, I can't imagine what his wife and kids must be going through. They are about old enough to either use the internet or worse, have kids around them know and tell them. I'm just stunned about all of this.
Achievement Hunter was a huge part of a lot of people's lives. RT/AH and Game Grumps kept me going when I was a kid and GG still does it. I stopped watching AH soon after Ray left but only recently kind of started coming back when Quarantine happened, when the Fiona stream where Geoff broke down was posted. And now, now I can't think about going back to watching any of their videos. They almost all have Ryan, he was part of my favorite series and now? Now I can't even imagine watching him anymore, it hurts so much. Edit: I am more than disgusted and appalled at Ryan now. Unbelievable.
I totally understand daisy. Im one of the "fortunate" people that only watched RoosterTeeth during their golden era, but I look back fondly to the Lets Play games. It was a big part of growing up with me tuning to every Friday afternoon's Minecraft session. It's such a shame since Ryan soon became my favorite. Seeing this shit makes me really appalled. But i hope you feel better in the future. These types of things need time and i hope Rooster teeth can bounce back
This is where it's fucked up, in no way am I saying this is ok, the " victim" herself said she instigated it, making people like Ryan feel this is ok, you kinda have to be mad at both sides here
Can we stop including Adam Kovic in the same sentence as the monster of a person Ryan Haywood is. Adam has redeemed himself in my eyes and most importantly his wife’s and has started a Podcast Null+Void and wrote a Book both with Aaron Marquis
I agree with you. This is much worse compared to Adam. (At least right now) I don't like that people's private lives have been dragged out into the light but things like this need to be so they can be addressed. RH messed up. Messed up bad on many different levels. The thing that sucks about stuff like this is that, when you grow up watching people like this you think, these guys are supposed to be the best of us in this weird internet space, in a messed up world. They are the people we look up to, that are fun, and weird, and friendly. Right now I'm having a hard time watching Funhaus content with Adam in it although I'll get over it at some point. But I can't say the same for AH content. As an older person now that stuff isn't ok. I hope the family find a way to get past this. I hope that the communities and channels stick together and pick up the pieces. The houses (haus) are broken but they can be rebuilt.
Idk, this does not seem like "emotional torture". I understand some girls feel regret having sex with a public figure, but I also regret having sex with a bunch of people. I assume some women regret having sex with me... He seemed somewhat respectful and caring and these "creepy" texts are just sexting as regular as they come. He did wrong, but I don't think it's as wrong as everyone makes it to be.
I really don't know how to word this without sounding like i'm defending Ryan, because i'm really not. It's a diffrent perspective on some of these things. From the screenshots i saw, with the consent and everything.. I know that from an outside perspective it's going to sound odd as all hell. But as someone who has practiced the BDSM lifestyle in the past, seeing these more aggressive ''I'm going to tear you apart'' type of messages isn't as serious as it might seem. There's a million people doing that. People who are into it, and honestly it might have been a part of their sexual ''play''. Again, i'm not defending Ryan, but that bit of it, even if he did go over the line (Choking without consent first) isn't AS serious in my eyes. From the messages it seems like very kinky sexting. That's just my perspective. I want to continue and say that i obviously might be wrong, and it may have been a Ryan being kinky, and her just going along with it kind of thing, i obviously don't know.. But it's just a diffrent potential perspective, you know? Either way, as i've stated in the comment section of previous videos, if there's anyone that needs to talk, or just needs to vent about all of this, i'm only one message away. And to ScoopHash, thank you for the response on the previous video. Your documentation on this matter is THE one to follow. You're doing a fantastic job. Seriously good work man. Much love.
I still don't see how this is predatory. He'd have to actively pursue and push people to places they uncomfortable going. And what you're showing me is mutual. I'm Catholic, ok, so violating his marriage vows is like in the top 5 despicable things a person could do. But I won't label his actions predatory unless they weren't reciprocated.
@@Confusedn1NJA gross how? If I'm using the term predator, then the thing must be the one actively pursuing whatever it is from the start. That's a key part to the meaning of the word. Why are some animals predators and others aren't? If Ryan was proactively seeking them and made first contact, I'd be there with you. But I haven't seen a case for that yet. If there is one, let me know then.
@@Confusedn1NJA now if you want to talk more about the domineering-submissive language, we can do that. I don't like it ever. Nearly everyone I've known whose into BDSM on some level was abused long ago in the past and continue suffering abuse with current friends and romantic partners. And I don't mean consensual. In my experience, I believe it breeds ground for further abuse.
@@dfed324 abusing the trust of impressionable naive ppl is predatory much like ur catholic beliefs enable plenty of predation. ur so fucked in the head? If u are in such position u no better than to NOT encourage yonguns who dunno better nor what is love/intent/lust/atteraction ! He is behaving like a preteen with calculated manipulative mind and wrecking ppls lives and using rosy naivete for self satisfied narcism so yea if u consider marriage vows above like person most intimate integrity like practicaly emotioal violation and need a book to tell u this perhaps your catholic morality is pervers and gross. As for s&m, this is healthy extension of lust and trust, its your warped religionized brain which is incapable of discenring healthy and unhealthy ie the love present interaction not some flipping contract or abstract ideal you wield the most un nuanced blunt opinion between ur ears. Go find a priest and see how far u can trust em. so rife with that bs thats prob how u can make such a backward statement in the first place u disgust me and if there is a hell i assure you it belong to ppl like u who judge right from wrong after the fact.
I’ve gone from “Hope he gets help and can reconcile with his wife and family.” to “OMG his wife needs to leave him and go into some kind of protective program with her kids because he is dangerous!”
@@jazzycat8917 nah , first of all 17 in Texas is the age of concent . Secondly one of the two 17 year old lied and told him she was 18 . The other one never revealed the age. So he can't even be nailed for statutory rape etc .
Its so so so sad that my favorite achievement hunter and funhaus member would hurt and betray us like this. Im sorry to all those who were hurt and after that all i can say is .........damn
Here’s my “brave” statement. When I first heard this scandal break, my reaction was and always has been, “yeah I can believe that.” Because there has been an edgy side to Ryan that always made me feel weird. A lot of it was the sexual tones of the conversations held on screen. Many times it felt more genuine behavior than acting or joking. Maybe it’s because I work in retail, but human behavior isn’t surprising. As disgusting as it is I’m not shocked and horrified by this. I’ve seen and been the recipient of men and women who’ve manipulated and canived and threatened to get what they want, no matter who they hurt. I don’t cry for Ryan and you can say what you want but I won’t cry for his victims. I do feel empathy for them. And I do feel anger at their experience. But as a student of history, as someone whose read about things like Unit 719, and whose been working as a cashier in a grocery store where every manner of insults and threats have been made against me, it’s just another day. My empathy towards Ryan has nothing to do with him, it’s the fact that his wife and kids now have to live with this. Odds are his wife is done by now and most likely will be filling for divorce by the end of the year. There is no hope, no salvation for him left at his age. In a series of unfortunate events, of planned and calculated misogyny, of the abuse, lies, and cunning, Ryan took his own life without even using a weapon. It’ll be a miracle if he ever finds work in the entertainment industry again. And most likely, his job opportunities will not be in fields that men his age don’t find themselves in without having made major mistakes. I encourage though everyone to take this lesson with them. Do not be so blind to evil that you never look for the fault in people, never be so harsh in your judgement you never see the good in them, and never forget to check yourself. To quote rule four from Jordan Peterson’s “12 Rules for Life”, Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.”
A safe rule of thumb for things like this is the rule of three. One or two can be disputed. Three makes it a pattern, and any more is just proof of such patterns
@@ellehcimbelle now I'm just waiting for a conclusion cause that number seems to be growing. I guess that's why they call it a compulsion. Thanks for the update but if you don't want to anymore, you can stop. It just disgusting.
this all really gets me down that someone I basically looked at as a source of happiness turns out to be a horrible person, like I have rewatched thief simulator a ton, which Ryan leads in playing, made me laugh every time, but now something that brought me joy makes me so sad and like disturbed, I hope his family best to get through this
Ryan was never one of my favorite Achievement Hunter people. Jack, Micheal and Gavin have always been my favorites. But the shit that im just now learning about Ryan and why he left (i just found out Ryan left yesterday, January 14th 2021, yes i know im very late to the news), sickens me. This man has a family, a wife and 2 kids. its one thing to cheat on your wife but to do it with multiple very young women and all/most that looked up to him is absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking.
I think the saddest thing about all this is that there is an RTAA where Ryan tells a Story about this crazy series of events that caused him to miss a flight home when he left the Let’s Play Family Reunion early to “Get home to his kids” only to find out that it was complete Bullshit and he was actually meeting up with someone.
Another piece of Content that really hit hard knowing what we do now is in the Off Topic that Ray was on (170-Something) where Michael and Geoff discuss how weird it is that Ryan would stay at a Hotel and leave a Day Later than everyone else and when Michael confronted him about it, Ryan claimed it was so he could get some extra rest because “His Kids wouldn’t leave him alone if he tried sleeping at home”
What the fuck! I was just thinking about that car brake down story. Now i gotta find it
💥
@@hikki4341, they privated it, some stuff with him I’d gonna start to get taken down.
basically everything about Ryan Haywood over the last decade has taken on a sinister undertone now. There's 10 years of rooster teeth content that none of us can go back to in good conscience because of him and Adam Kovic
@@TomboTime, at the very least I can watch Adam, his stuff was way less compared to Ryan. Cheating on his wife and sending her stuff and in doing stuff in the office space compared to Ryan is different levels of shitty. Ryan was a monster, Adam was a dick. It’s still icky but I can watch stuff with him, I don’t prefer it but I can blot out my dislike. I just can’t with Ryan.
Imagine being Ryan's wife right now. With every waking moment, another person comes forward with their own 'RH Story' and have texts, pics, videos, etc. to back up their claims, and on top of all of this, his wife is getting harassed and threatened by asshats when she is a total innocent in all this.
This isn't a 'have him sleep on the couch' type of punishment.
This isn't a 'have him sleep in another room' type of punishment.
This is a 'kick him out of the house' type of punishment.
This is a 'divorce him and get primary custody of the kids' type of punishment.
This is a 'revert back to my maiden name and move on with my life' type of punishment.
My heart goes out to Ryan's wife. Whatever decisions she makes going forward, we have to respect them.
Same. But also his kids. They're going to have to live their whole life knowing their dad is an absolute monster. He has a daughter.
His wife kept her maiden name anyway. He always said she was a vet and didnt share his last name. Secondly this isn't the first ti.e this has happened. Brandon "Fragger" Light was told to purge the servers for anything related to David "Knuckles Dawson" Dreger. When he worked for them. It was so well swept under the rug the only one who spoke of it was Frager. After he mysteriously vanished from the company in its early years. Resurficing to admit why he left. The only difference so far we know Ryan target what he thought (Leigh) was legal age (his other known victims so far). While Dreger tsrgeted girls from 12-14. However Dreger was found dead from an apparent suicide in a park.
i honestly don't know why people are attacking his family. like why would they do that when they're already in pain?
Can an asshole explain why they think it's okay to harass his family???? (cuz only assholes would think it's okay)
I think the worst part is that this is all public. It’s one thing to know your spouse cheated on you multiple times. But for her, the entire internet knows he cheated. We exactly how he cheated, what he said, who he was with, why he did it... She gets no sense of privacy to come to terms with everything. My heart aches for her.
@@adamnicholes1002, I mean Jack and Geoff immediately fired the guy and Jack told him to get the hell out when he found out he went to RTX after. It’s not like they ‘swept it under the rug’ they immediately dealt with it, he wasn’t even a actual employee I think just a guy who helped with the website.

Man, I remember being an AH fan back when the original crew was there, Ray, Gavin, etc. This is just, I dont even know what to say. Disgusting doesn't even do it justice.
Wait, has Gavin left aswell?
@@rossduncan9516 no hes just part of the original crew
Rip my childhood
There are multiple reasons for why they are scrubbing him from their site, not just to push it under the rug. They all had a connection with him and it hurts their team to bring him back up. There are videos with just Ryan in them that are not deserving of being kept up given the situation. They don’t want to give him a platform to be seen nor make a profit off of him. This isn’t to save face, it’s a punishment. They don’t want to earn money from a “monster” and don’t believe he deserves a platform. It has nothing to do with politics, all to do with morality.
They said something to the effect of they're having to go back and delete things that , given new information, change the context of the content in the video. Considering some of the things that he's said, or the things they joked about regarding him over the past several years, they're going to be scrubbing a LOT of content.
@@goatcheesemcgee4832 yeah they are, there was one where Michael was questioning Ryan on why he stays at hotels a day longer than everyone else.

@@Martin0 can’t really see any real reason to keep the thirsty tweets for Ryan video given what we know now. That would just leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth who knows what he’s like now
@@citizenvulpes4562 There's all the Ryan and Meg stuff that'll probably get axed as well.
It turns out Ryan was every bit the monster he “pretended” to be. I’m sad now....
It's called "hiding in plain sight". The problem was the entire RT crew was in on it.
Not gonna lie but I’m somewhat glade that I started to drift away from watching RT/AH’s content, but hearing all this stuff about Ryan is just absolutely gut wrenching because he was also the one member of AH that I looked up too the most.
RT is dying really. The only thing that keep them relevant is AH. I agree, Ryan is the last guy we suspect to do these disgusting actions. We always look up to him.
Yeah the good old days were awesome but now they feel not as good anymore like a piece is lost forever and I might not ever watch those old minecraft or gta vids anymore but it's more than that when I was young I had a reverence for AH and Ryan was a part of that now... well now it feels dark and sad. I hope his family will be okay one day
I never liked the guy for some reason. I guess we can see why now.....
I feel the same way
I used to watch there podcast and I just stopped and moved on and seeing this now definitely feels weird.
Wonder how Ray feels about all of this, he isn’t part of the company anymore but he was a couple of years ago
rip the R & R connection
I’m asking the same thing with geoff
And Jeremy with the Battle Buddies in more recent times
@@iandragooo Jeremy said something like "we all lost a buddy, and now all we have left is a battle."
@@iandragooo he's already (kinda) responded.
The first time I saw the headline “ Ryan Haywood leaving Rooster Teeth” I immediately thought this would be a Ray type leave and that he was going to be streaming and do that mainly. But then I saw what he’s done and it’s really been hard for me. Watching the first video and some of the first follow ups, I was literally torn in half. Achievement Hunter has been a huge part of my preteen and teen years. Of course, these past couple of months I have been moving away from them due to timing and not blending with new personalities. But I had always liked Ryan. Seeing this is truly heartbreaking. It’s like you said, it’s extremely hard to defend Ryan. I wasn’t going to from the start but I thought maybe he can have a second chance because everyone deserves a second chance. But this... it truly hurts watching this. I think I’ll just have to put on a mindset when watching old videos with Ryan because some of my favorite videos had Ryan in it ( all of the Between the Games and Uno the Movie ). I really don’t know what the future will hold for him, but it’s hard to see something you liked for so long go through this and knowing that he did the wrong thing and you shouldn’t support him. You supported him for so long but you just can’t anymore. I feel sorry for the girls that went through this, and I feel sooo bad about Ryan’s family... they never deserved this.
I agree with you tomodachi. My preteen years were filled with memories of these absolute mad group of lads and gents playing minecraft and now with this situation is heartbreaking and if me some random fan is heartbroken and disgusted and a whole lot of other shit then I can only imagine what his family must be feeling.
Y'know the creepy and dark persona that Ryan had back in the old days of AH...yeah...

Based off of Ryan's statement, he sounds like some type of a sociopath, just no remorse for his actions, only because he got caught and the game is over. I could be wrong but it's just fucking sickening some of this shit he has done.
As Jack said, he is a monster.
One thing I'm glad about is I sort of left rooster teeth after they just redid Achievement city for the 3-4 time where it was rayn or Michael walling in a village
This was a really disturbing update, but I’m glad I saw it. I was annoyed when I heard AH were going to be taking down and editing videos, but after these details; watching old videos where they are all laughing together feel kind of... wrong. I see why some changes will need to be made with past content. Thanks for making these update videos.
I've been a fan since I was 10 and Ryan was one of my favorites, only to find out this, it's absolutely heart breaking thinking I was admiring a monster makes me sick. I can't even imagine the pain all of the AH guys are feeling, trusting someone who did shit like this
I feel so terrible for both Adam and Ryan wives. The pain that they must be going through right now.

@@ChivalrousSnake if what yoyu say is true then you have no reason to fear, YOURE NOT him, you will be greater than he ever could be. its funny how people turn on others so quickly, but given the circumstances, can you blame us?
I watched their live stream today. Michael and Jack were really upset. At one point he actually called Ryan a monster. They are also going to go through and scrub everything with Ryan in it, popular or not. Ryan will probably now be "he who shall not be named." I can understand the sentiment, but I don't like erasing people, no matter how bad they are. As they say, you will either be an example for others or a warning.
THis sounds more like a precedent to purge RT of certain persons. There certainly has been a purge of very specific personalities. And a growing specific slant in RT. Meanwhile RT hires only fans having hoes. To think that this is merely a thing that is happening to the lads, is a grave mistake. RT has been getting creepier ever since the Political slant it took.
@@boguslav9502 You're statement is why Ryan's actions are so damaging. It stains the entire crew, putting doubt on the rest of the group as well. I may not agree with the "de-personing," but I can understand that they are hurting and are trying to minimize the damage Ryan has done amidst their pain.
Please don't let politics cloud their actions in this incident. I'm on the opposite side of the political spectrum from RT/AH, but I need to remember that they are people who are even more shocked than we are because they knew and worked with him closely for so many years.
@@boguslav9502 UHM just because someone has an only fans does not make them a hoe nor does any sex work make anyone less human or deserving to be criticized for what they choose to do with their own body. What Ryan did is DISGUSTING, he used his power to have sex with fans and do things with fans. I fully support the erasure of him on their channels, not because they are trying to forget about it but because of the people he has hurt. Imagine having something you loved and looked forward to, and idolized so much tainted with abuse and manipulation that takes years to even partially heal from. They are doing it because the fans of AH who have been hurt by this creep deserve to be able to watch their videos without possibly being triggered into a ptsd episode. Their reaction also means if someone were to be hired and do this shit again, it might be caught faster because the fans will know without a doubt that AH will believe them and not victim blame. It generally seems you don't think of women as equal, calling us hoes vs this monster being called a Lad however (and this might surprise you) WE ARE PEOPLE and deserve to be treated equally. We deserve every right to watch AH and expect them to conduct themselves in a professional manner while talking to fans at all times. Young women and young men are highly susceptible to things like this because they love the creator so much and will do things so they like them even if they don't want to. Its grooming, its power play and its absolutely despicable. Red vs Blue was NOT inclusive with women (2 in the first few seasons, sheila a tank and then the actual player i forget the name) so you're mad because they are letting "hoes" in but they are growing in inclusivity if you just wanna see a bunch of dicks be dicks on the internet go watch something else. They have grown as a company and it shows. They care about their fans and any fan who sympathizes with Ryan or thinks it's simply because they want more only fan hoes is NOT a fan of AH at all they even say it themselves. They are protecting their female audience and letting us know that it is 100% okay to come forward and that every accusation will be taken seriously. You have NO IDEA how scary it is to go against someone with a huge platform and even just ONE person coming forward helps others gain the courage to do so. You have NO IDEA what its like to constantly be in fear of getting sexually assaulted. He was preying on young minds that idolized him and caused irreparable damage to these women's mental health and feelings of security. What they did to take this seriously is so rare and amazing and while this is a HORRIBLE thing to have occurred I hope it will help set a precedent that creeps are not allowed or liked. That more companies will take their women and men (emoloyees/customers/consumers) seriously when they say something is wrong. They are setting an example of what should be done when something like this happens. Do you know how damaging it would have been to not only their company, but to their female audience if they called these women liars? It would hurt their business but moreover it would hurt their female audience to see them call us liars and not believe us. The damage that would cause the victims of what happened? It could solidify to those fans that all they are are cash cows and meat bags to fuck. AH did something others haven't, listen to women and take us seriously and that is a big deal especially for a company so large. I am proud of them for how they handled this situation. Take your disgusting women hating ass somewhere not related to AH, preferably nowhere.
@@ghosttype5884 I wanted to say so much to the guy, but you kinda said everything. Thanks.
@@ghosttype5884 I don't want to invalidate anything you're saying about ryan or rt, but your stance on only fans and sex work is very hypocritical. While they shunned ryan they publicly celebrate these women even though their source of income almost necessitates the exact same behavior. Only fans actually only works if someone uses their body, status, and influence to manipulate others. Many young or mentally distressed men have lost their financial stability, confidence, or personal relationships because of women like these. They also have speech patterns and delusions very similar to ryan's victims. The victims also similarly came to ryan first. The only difference I can find is if you believe that women's bodies and minds just inherently matter more than men's. You're entitled to your opinion, but it's a weird place to try and take the moral high ground. Btw "NO IDEA"? Idk what you know about the guy, but almost everyone has had to worry about sexual assault at one point or another.
Ryan the "I feel like I'm being blackmailed. You are." Guy
I feel terrible for laughing at this. But hey, dude brought it all on himself and we gotta keep laughing.
don’t you all think it’s maybe not his fault that’s the only way he knows how to flirt? With most guys growing up on porn they don’t know how to correctly talk to a female in general and some don’t even try which is worse in my opinion. Plus all of the girls (all legal ages) could have just decided not do anything with him, or not like his style of conversation, OR being mostly fans they KNEW he had a family and kids regardless of what he said to them did they not have sympathy for his family? Even if he isn’t making a good decision they shouldn’t have helped him no matter how much they pleaded, takes 2 to tango, they probably just got caught in trying to chase “clout” and that’s their own fault. all seems a like a big part of the canceling culture, don’t want to get hated on either but it’s weird to see so many people turn their backs on him especially the original guys, like I have friends that fucked up harder than hard, but at the end of the day, I was there to visit them when no one would and to grab a beer with them when everyone was shunning them, everyone needs someone to help them back when they fuck up, I never let my friends down even at their lowest unless they made a deliberate attack on me as a person. But this doesn’t take away the fact that he did put his family in a bad situation, but maybe he just needed to get some marriage counseling and his wife never helped him get it together because I can 100 percent guarantee that if he was cheating on his wife then there was a lack of sexual arousal in the bedroom and they needed to see someone to fix it or split. Point is adultery is not a crime and neither is talking to 17(legal in the states in question) or 18 or having sexual relations with them, any guy cheats on a girl and it like Ight he’s just like every other man and they go on with their day, but for some reason everyone has Ryan on some high horse
Not to mention one of the girls ended up making fun of Ryan’s wife for not realizing and just overall had not sympathy for the people who really were hurt by this THE WIFE AND CHILDREN they were taken by surprise by this, all the females involved were taken by consent
@@Keystone762 this specific comment is about your claim of cancel culture and "you can't believe so many people would turn their backs on him." He did something horrible and those around him decided they could not forgive him for it. That is not "turning your back" on him, that is establishing a very firm boundary of what is acceptable behavior. Everyone is allowed to decide for themselves what they will and won't tolerate from others. You stated that you stayed friends with someone who "did something worse," which is your choice to make, but is not necessarily a choice someone else would have made. The idea behind cancel culture is to not only bring to light horrible abuses that people commit against each other, but to demand an accountability process of change to STOP abuse from happening again. It's true that when someone gets cancelled they do need a support system to help them recover, but no one is obligated to volunteer as that support, and the main role of that support is to be a firm push to rehabilitation. True support comes from those closest and have the most to lose. We the audience are not his friends, and cannot (and should not try to) offer support because that will not encourage him to change his behavior. If you continued to hang out with your friend like nothing happened then you did not help him recover, you allowed him to stay comfortable with his bad choices. Yes it's true that if every single 'good' influence in his life leaves him then the only people left will be 'worse' than him and he will never rehabilitate his behavior, but where would you honestly rank your involvement in this? Do you think that calling into question the validity of the victims' statements is a 'good influence'? Do you think saying his co-workers shouldn't disown him is encouraging him to improve his behavior? I want you to really think about what impact your suggestions would have on those who have already suffered and those who might yet suffer if nothing changes
I never really watched the new AH content. I’d always stay in the golden era and rewatch videos from 2012-2014 cause they always seemed to really enjoy what they did back then. Even though things changed as time went on, I always still had those videos and could always just turn them on in the background. Now it’s hard to watch anything with Ryan in it and I don’t think I’ll be able to see those videos the same way anymore. Seems like now it’s just time to move on from the whole thing and, even though it sucks, it just goes to show that not everything works out and all we can do is accept it
You guys have the production quality of a channel with 500k. I’m really hoping y’all manage to grow! Your content is absolutely phenomenal.
Thanks for covering the content so well. I couldn’t get all the way through the doc, too much. There are a lot of people hurting at the moment.
No dude, several of the girls who have picture proof are confirmed to be underaged what are you on about
Is it confirmed Ryan knew they were underage when contacting them?
@@619Gotenks that makes it even worse than what it is
@@maymay5600 it would make it worse if he knew, but I don't know if he did know.
@@619Gotenks maybe he did, kinda hurts my soul abit
@@619Gotenks From what I've heard they all told him they were 18 or older.
"I don't want to milk it" 3+ min in and didn't even say a single thing....
I get that the SC conversations were sexually charged, but was he really only capable of bringing everything back to sex? Even the cupcake thing around 10:05 where he can't help but be sexual with it.
I mean the downside is that everything is gonna look suspect with hindsight. Even things that has no place or sexual connotations will be scrutinized in the same way due to all the available information we have now.
@@Scoophash even rt commented about that point specifically. I think it was micheal who said he never really payed attention to what he said during streams and shit but thinking back his words are a lot more dark than just a joke now
PREDATORY? these are adult women who know this man is married, and are going out of their way to message him. shits pathetic
no, a couple were minors. and despite most them being adults, there is such a thing called a power dynamic which could influence those who look up to people into doing things they normally wouldn't because they want to make those they look up to happy.
He’s one sick individual that bloke. AH will probs have to pull all his content cause no way they now want to even be associated with him. This could have massive ripple affects on the whole company tbh. I hope these girls coming out are actually okay and I’m glad they’ve sort of found each other in a way to comfort one another and reaffirm that he didn’t just do it to one person, that it wasn’t just a one off mistake, that he needed to be stopped and all these brave girls coming out have stopped him
There's so much shit Ryan was in that formed the backbone of AH. It's impossible to retract all of it.
They'll most likely remove all of the Technical Difficulties videos since that was Ryan's show but I don't know if they can fully remove Ryan from every single video he's been in. Ryan has been in over 10 years worth of videos.
It's impossible for them to remove him from every video he was in cause at this point thats damn near 80-90% of their content over the last decade. Ryan was popular, arguably the most popular member of AH until now. Unfortunately, the best they can do is scrub Technical Difficulties and all images of him from the store and site.
What I find disturbing is that Gus or Geoff haven't addressed this at all... They're just acting like they're going to move along from it and the company is going to continue as is which is unacceptable... They had a sex offender in their company and they're not addressing it?
There's no way that they can eliminate every video Ryan has been in. He's essentially been part of every Minecraft lets play since like 2013.
Anyone check on his family? They probably have to be in a house with him.
I hope his wife and kids find a way to either kick him out or they move somewhere else. They don't need this disgusting piece of shit to live with them. Those poor kids.
I highly doubt he is living with them now.
I have to assume that Laurie and the kids are staying somewhere else OR (better scenario) Ryan got booted and is living in another location at the moment. He most likely has more than enough money to rent a small apartment or AirBNB somewhere.
His wife is a vet. She makes plenty of money. She probably kicked him out immediately.
Ryan deleted his Twitter so there’s no more apology or statements
The people who attack his family are just as bad.
A whole 4 minutes until the actual content starts, shocking behaviour
I’m 23 and this hurts me. I’ve followed them for over half my life...I don’t know what to believe or feel. I’ve seen the leaked pics for Adam. But Ryan..wtf
I haven’t seen anything for Adam. Where you find the leak?
@@YoBoyGio you can find a google doc of it all. Search 4chan or just type in Adam kovic leaked pics. Didn’t take too long only a couple mins of looking. There’s like 100 pics and like 6 videos. It’s mostly just adams p and butt with various toys included. And his giving bjs to toys. Only 2 pics of his wife and they aren’t very flattering. I deleted the doc cz I wasn’t gonna fap to it and I was disgusted on what I seen. I’ll recover the doc and send it if your struggling to find it
@@YoBoyGio heres the supposed thread of the leaked info and pics summarised in a forum which i found shared across certain areas of reddit. also a slight warning its very disturbing and twisted. kiwifarms.net/threads/adam-kovic-ryan-haywood-the-dead-pixel-koko-pikovic-and-james-ryan-haywoood-iron-ryan-the-mad-king-vagabond.77130/
Wow thanks I just checked it out and I’m surprise/shocked. I get mostly Ryan story he was flirting with girls and cheating with a girl who was 17 but thought 18. So Adam just got hacked? Seem like he was just sending those to his wife. I think the question is did she know right? I think she did in my opinion just like most couple do just flirt and send stuff but sucks overall idk
@@YoBoyGio I want to say your right..
This is it, this is the nail in the coffin for me. 10+ years of fandom, just gone...wasted for this snake. Also don’t want to attack you like some other commenters have for having maybe some incorrect info. But from what I’ve seen the girls were in fact underage, not all of them but I believe 2 of them were.
Sergio Mendoza They all told him they were 18+ though.
don't defend that piece of filth
@@hiddeninanxiety2265 No one is defending him, however from what I have read, while he spoke to the girls who were underage, he never had any sexual relations with underage girls, Ryan hasn't been arrested, or charged with a crime, so until then, he isnt a criminal but still a fucking awful loser
3 actually
Also I think for one of them he asked if she was in high school or college and she said college because, get this, she graduated high school early so she actually was in college.
Jeremy dooly voice: " ryan haywood was lying and the entirety of roosterteeth is a CHUMP!"
Where did he say that
I'm interested too
Good Chump reference
@@ChrisK0403 roosterteeth has a show hosted by Jeremy Dooly called chump where 2 people tell the truth and one lies, if they can find the lier the loser gets named chump. Kinda fits the whole ryan situation.
Just finished reading this story a little bit ago. It's so bad.
Where can I find it?
I have no idea what’s going on with all this. I’ve just been watching some old videos and I’m stumbling across all this now?
its been a year and this still occasionally crosses my mind and knocks me on my ass. i had a crush on that man for a very formative period of my life (from abt 14 until i found out what he had done). he was my favourite, my phone background. ryan haywood compilations were my comfort videos. and finding out that everything i loved about him was just some facade that he put on felt like a punch to the gut. i still struggle to watch ah content sometimes. it just hurts too much
Get 'nonce hunters uk' over to Texas seems like there is some problems
There are some ex cops and ex military making there way to Texas. I not sure why. I guess we will find out soon.
In a way, you can argue that this has a lot to do with the persona the community has made of him. You see a lot of comments that "thirst" for Ryan with wanting much of the sexual abuse from him like the choking for example. I'm not justifying his actions, but it can be argued that Ryan thought of it as roleplay with the character the community built for him that got way out of hand.
I was gonna say something along these lines
It’s so so uncomfortable especially with all the daddy jokes made about him
Especially In This Just Internet were they made a video of all the thirsty tweets that were made towards Ryan.
The shit Ryan said to her is legit, damn near word for word, the same stuff the guys on To Catch A Predator have said in chat to underaged girls/boys. This is the stuff Chris reads off to them and they full on deny it or come up with some arbitrary excuse for.
His obsession with the word "Daddy" shows he loved every fucking bit of it. Dudes fucked in the head, more now than he's ever been. It makes his dark comedic moments that much more dark.
Its honestly so fucking disturbing. I'll never view him, and unfortunately Achievement Hunter and Rooster Teeth the same ever again.
Not just that, but after she sent him whatever explicit pic it was she sent, HE CALLED HER KIDDO. K I D D O. Who the hell does that?!
Plus, he wanted her in pigtails, kept focusing on her "innocent face," fetishized her virginity, it's just...ugggh.
@@amandas2639 I know! Absolutely disgusting. He knew exactly what he was doing, no matter how much he might deny it. I mean he even asks her if she's been with an older man, and says he'll teach her("baby girl") how to please a man. Just..gross 🤢🤮
Those same frases are used in Dom/sub relationships, where the dom can be even said to "own" the sub. But its the rest that actually are the bad parts.
So, let me get this straight: She instigates a sexual relationship with him, continues it, voluntarily meets with him, consents to sex multiple times, never tells him she wants out of it, and somehow she is a victim? lol y'all wild
hoo boy homie ur missing a gooood chunk of what Ryan did lol
I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but after seeing this...my god. I was wondering why there were so many warnings at the beginning of this video but then when the screenshots came pouring in, my stomach dropped. I can wholeheartedly say now that he isn't sorry for what he did, he's sorry he got caught. I mean, days apart from each other? He's a predator! this is absolutely disgusting.
Yeah the benefit of the doubt goes out when the 2nd girl shows up with an identical story.
Can you put part #'s in the title? I can't tell what I have and haven't watched and I don't want to miss anything!
This poor girl, shes not the first girl to say how rough he was with them.....reading his messages makes my teeth itch, like I know alot of people have that sort of kink but knowing how young these girls are makes it 10x worse.
Also the second girl with the same hotel room, I can imagine it's close to the hundreds with how many girls hes done this with considering hes been doing this for years
@Nelson Lambert I was talking about his messages and calling himself 'daddy'
@Nelson Lambert that's okay, its messed me up too, I've been a fan of Ah for about 9 years now and it's got me through some tough times.....just sad I wont be able to watch their past content because Ryan is mostly in them, hearing his voice makes me sick I just cant do it
@Nelson Lambert congrats on the pregnancy, I followed AH as a teen and now I'm 28 and have a young daughter and all I want to do is protect her from men like this, it's just scary when you think you know someone......I hope AH can recover from this but to me I'm done with it, it was never the same after Ray left but I stuck with them but this has gone too far for me
@Nelson Lambert thankyou, you too
@@hannahhobnob20 and that is totally understandable, however, here is my advice (a friendly stranger from the interenet) push forward and support future AH endeavors, support them going forward and love their NEW content (if you can obviously).
He had a cow in a hole in his minecraft house. I wonder if he thought of his victims when he saw it.
I've got a pretty very strong stomach, nothing really bothers me anymore after my years on the internet.
But, fuck me.
This made me feel sick...
Your whole intro was you milking it! Like just talk about what happened Jesus wasted my time
Does anyone know where to find Jeremy's stream clip?
I doubt achievement hunter knew, watching the video by Jack and Michael was too real, you can't fake that
I really appreciate that you guys had gameplay video as the like, backdrop. It helps to.... I guess keep my subconscious distracted while hearing about this honestly disgusting topic? Good reporting and thank you for posting this.
Two days ago I started watching AH again, I introduced it to my girlfriend and showed her what I watched when I was a teen. I told her Ryan was my favorite. So... I feel pretty shit for helping this monster build his platform so he could do all this.
Not defending rayn but given his first video was when they were trying out some people to join the team like Joel in episode 2 then him in the pig Olympics, I hope that arsewipe gets what's coming to him
How many victims have come towards so far?
Brave souls
at least 4
@@hiddeninanxiety2265 we're at like 15 now, maybe more if you look at r/roosterteeth or r/ryanhaywood where they are compiling all the stories.
There's currently 9 according to the farms and 7 have receipts
Watched these guys since middle school in 2013. Seeing all this shit is really hitting me hard right now. He was such a core member to the group with literally being the core part of many series. Battle Buddies, Technical Difficulties, any modded Minecraft server because he was always the one running it. I feel terrible for all the people he hurt, but it just hurts to know that he did this. He betrayed everything just to fall to his darker desires
This whole situation just shocks me. I loved him and I looked up to him. I met him at kami con in Alabama in the beginning of February. I mean, thinking that when I met him this all could've been going on behind the scenes? Kinda makes me sick ngl
You say it was consensual but the stealthing is not (and in a lot of places is legally rape), and the choking wasn't either. Caiti said it on her insta livestream, informed consent is not possible when you don't have all the information on what you're consenting to. Which includes him lying about how many people he was sleeping with, and not using condoms with them.
How does she have pics of the convos, unless she took them right after they were sent? I just went back and tried to look at old messages on snap chat with my friends. Nothing there. How did she go back and get the convos?
She probably saved them
You can choose to manually save each chat in SC, however either party can set the conversation to automate delete after a day even if they are saved, and one would expect an experienced internet predator to know of such a functionality and use it, so I guess there’s a tick in both columns there on the plausibility of this.
I can’t finish this video.
You don't have to. You've already done enough by being here. Take a little while and cope. You're not weak for feeling betrayed.
I know man :/ I’ve watched these guys over the years, just a bunch of dudes who’ve known each other for years, having a good time making videos. Knowing that Ryan actually did these things is painful to know.
I've just had to click off this video 8 minutes in. I've been watching rooster teeth and achievement hunter since the halo reach days. I remember Ryan being my favourite member of achievement hunter. I've only just found out about this about an hour ago and I'm destroyed by this. I never met Ryan or any of the achievement hunter crew but it was always a dream of mine. I'm just shocked and disappointed with all of this. After watching a clip from the stream with jack and Michael and seeing how broken they were, I still didn't know what was going on due to them not mentioning his name until jack said "I sat next to that monster for years" that's when it hit me and that's when I realized how real this all was.
Uhm so the clickbait is saying “his girls’ p***y needs more abuse”, yet I didn’t catch the part in this video. Someone wanna point out which time duration this topic was?
In a couple of years time, I will finally be able to say that I am an OG subscriber for a channel that just keeps growing👍👍
I’ve been pulling away from roosterteeth for a while, and now that Ryan and achievement hunter is officially dead to me, I have nothing left of those good memories.

That half assed second apology on twitter still has my blood boiling.
It was going so well to until he tried to justify he’s actions.
That and then contacting the girls to try and guilt trip them..
@@reignydays8825 it still makes my stomach flip every time i think about it. how can he say “think about my family; my kids’ lives will be ruined” when he had absolutely no thought of them and the repercussions while having sex with barely legal fans. he’s a perverted hypocrite and thinking abt him makes me wanna take a shower in acid
I feel so betrayed and angry like why Ryan,WHY!!
Three years later, and sometimes TH-cam will pop up a video recommendation from when this was all going on, and it breaks my heart all over again. I sometimes... recoiled? I guess? For lack of a better word, early on, because he was a more 'traditional' father than Geoff, and I grew up with abusive parents (active mother, enabling-with-inaction father), so I reflexively get anxious when presented with people who give off Normal Parent vibes. (My parents sure as hell gave that impression beyond the front door.) But he stopped setting off that internal alarm fairly quickly, and I had really loved the Mad King persona and such, because that kind of character in straight up fiction is also one of the more entertaining ones for me.
But probably around The World Is Lava, when he made the comment about buying a lot of wine being how he stayed married, which was just before the earliest reports that I can remember, I started getting icky feelings from him again.
I see why now. I got preyed on by someone similar, though in a different circumstance, back when I was barely legal as well. I should've recognized wtf was going on, but it'd been 15 years, so much of it had gone to the back of my mind, as I had been mostly healed from that for a long time. It wasn't something that had much more relevance on my present.
I wish I had paid more attention. I might not've been so blindsided by this.
(btw, where's the link to the doc? I think I know which one you're talking about, but it's not in my Google Docs history, and I don't see a link in the description. Did it get taken down?)
See I don’t really know the full story.. but she kinda enabled the guy. It’s like a drug addiction, there’s probably part of it he can’t control. Not justifying his actions or anything but she really should have blocked him when she first got uncomfortable or first realized he might be wack
I wonder why famous people think they can get away with stuff like this
their inflated ass ego
@@ShawnFX yeah, probably
I've watched AH from when it started. I think RT was barely a year active when my brother and I discoverd them.
I remember when RT and AH became two different entities, but still kind of leaned on each other, when they hired Gavin, Jack, Ryan, Michael, Ray etc.
God I've laughed, cried and grew up with them. It is so heartbreaking to see someone just destroy everything like that.
And I'm just a fan, I can't imagine what his wife and kids must be going through. They are about old enough to either use the internet or worse, have kids around them know and tell them.
I'm just stunned about all of this.
This is pretty tough, but whats that auto rifle ya got and the rolls?
Duty bound from the savathun strike I'm pretty sure it has set rolls I'm pretty sure
Achievement Hunter was a huge part of a lot of people's lives. RT/AH and Game Grumps kept me going when I was a kid and GG still does it. I stopped watching AH soon after Ray left but only recently kind of started coming back when Quarantine happened, when the Fiona stream where Geoff broke down was posted. And now, now I can't think about going back to watching any of their videos. They almost all have Ryan, he was part of my favorite series and now? Now I can't even imagine watching him anymore, it hurts so much.
Edit: I am more than disgusted and appalled at Ryan now. Unbelievable.
I totally understand daisy. Im one of the "fortunate" people that only watched RoosterTeeth during their golden era, but I look back fondly to the Lets Play games. It was a big part of growing up with me tuning to every Friday afternoon's Minecraft session. It's such a shame since Ryan soon became my favorite. Seeing this shit makes me really appalled. But i hope you feel better in the future. These types of things need time and i hope Rooster teeth can bounce back
The Mad King has fallen
The Mad King has taken over you mean
4:05 Cut to the statement.
This is where it's fucked up, in no way am I saying this is ok, the " victim" herself said she instigated it, making people like Ryan feel this is ok, you kinda have to be mad at both sides here
Man if beating around the bush was an Olympic sport you'd get the gold man
Can we stop including Adam Kovic in the same sentence as the monster of a person Ryan Haywood is. Adam has redeemed himself in my eyes and most importantly his wife’s and has started a Podcast Null+Void and wrote a Book both with Aaron Marquis
I agree with you. This is much worse compared to Adam. (At least right now) I don't like that people's private lives have been dragged out into the light but things like this need to be so they can be addressed. RH messed up. Messed up bad on many different levels. The thing that sucks about stuff like this is that, when you grow up watching people like this you think, these guys are supposed to be the best of us in this weird internet space, in a messed up world. They are the people we look up to, that are fun, and weird, and friendly. Right now I'm having a hard time watching Funhaus content with Adam in it although I'll get over it at some point. But I can't say the same for AH content. As an older person now that stuff isn't ok. I hope the family find a way to get past this. I hope that the communities and channels stick together and pick up the pieces. The houses (haus) are broken but they can be rebuilt.
I can watch stuff with Adam, it just feels kinda sad now. I jreally can’t with the other
Idk, this does not seem like "emotional torture". I understand some girls feel regret having sex with a public figure, but I also regret having sex with a bunch of people. I assume some women regret having sex with me... He seemed somewhat respectful and caring and these "creepy" texts are just sexting as regular as they come. He did wrong, but I don't think it's as wrong as everyone makes it to be.
I really don't know how to word this without sounding like i'm defending Ryan, because i'm really not. It's a diffrent perspective on some of these things. From the screenshots i saw, with the consent and everything.. I know that from an outside perspective it's going to sound odd as all hell. But as someone who has practiced the BDSM lifestyle in the past, seeing these more aggressive ''I'm going to tear you apart'' type of messages isn't as serious as it might seem. There's a million people doing that. People who are into it, and honestly it might have been a part of their sexual ''play''. Again, i'm not defending Ryan, but that bit of it, even if he did go over the line (Choking without consent first) isn't AS serious in my eyes. From the messages it seems like very kinky sexting. That's just my perspective.
I want to continue and say that i obviously might be wrong, and it may have been a Ryan being kinky, and her just going along with it kind of thing, i obviously don't know.. But it's just a diffrent potential perspective, you know?
Either way, as i've stated in the comment section of previous videos, if there's anyone that needs to talk, or just needs to vent about all of this, i'm only one message away.
And to ScoopHash, thank you for the response on the previous video. Your documentation on this matter is THE one to follow. You're doing a fantastic job. Seriously good work man.

@@Confusedn1NJA gross how? If I'm using the term predator, then the thing must be the one actively pursuing whatever it is from the start. That's a key part to the meaning of the word. Why are some animals predators and others aren't?

Here’s my “brave” statement. When I first heard this scandal break, my reaction was and always has been, “yeah I can believe that.” Because there has been an edgy side to Ryan that always made me feel weird. A lot of it was the sexual tones of the conversations held on screen. Many times it felt more genuine behavior than acting or joking.
Maybe it’s because I work in retail, but human behavior isn’t surprising. As disgusting as it is I’m not shocked and horrified by this. I’ve seen and been the recipient of men and women who’ve manipulated and canived and threatened to get what they want, no matter who they hurt. I don’t cry for Ryan and you can say what you want but I won’t cry for his victims. I do feel empathy for them. And I do feel anger at their experience. But as a student of history, as someone whose read about things like Unit 719, and whose been working as a cashier in a grocery store where every manner of insults and threats have been made against me, it’s just another day.
My empathy towards Ryan has nothing to do with him, it’s the fact that his wife and kids now have to live with this. Odds are his wife is done by now and most likely will be filling for divorce by the end of the year. There is no hope, no salvation for him left at his age. In a series of unfortunate events, of planned and calculated misogyny, of the abuse, lies, and cunning, Ryan took his own life without even using a weapon. It’ll be a miracle if he ever finds work in the entertainment industry again. And most likely, his job opportunities will not be in fields that men his age don’t find themselves in without having made major mistakes.
I encourage though everyone to take this lesson with them. Do not be so blind to evil that you never look for the fault in people, never be so harsh in your judgement you never see the good in them, and never forget to check yourself. To quote rule four from Jordan Peterson’s “12 Rules for Life”, Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.”
I couldn’t believe it, I didn’t want to believe it. Now I do. Thank you for proving it to me, it will allow me to move on.

Ok so how many girls is it? Last I saw it was 7.
i think it's 10+ now. there is an official thread on r/outoftheloop that is keeping track.
10+
Good grief.
@@mizwildcat11 officially at 14 now last i read :(
@@ellehcimbelle now I'm just waiting for a conclusion cause that number seems to be growing. I guess that's why they call it a compulsion.
Thanks for the update but if you don't want to anymore, you can stop. It just disgusting.
I was like oh man it can't be that bad, but yikes. What a creep.
this all really gets me down that someone I basically looked at as a source of happiness turns out to be a horrible person, like I have rewatched thief simulator a ton, which Ryan leads in playing, made me laugh every time, but now something that brought me joy makes me so sad and like disturbed, I hope his family best to get through this
I’m finna cry 🅱️
Just say “gonna” dude
@@renegadepyro726 gonna finna cry 🅱️
@@BMOsGrandma I deleted my last comment because if I’m honest, you did say gonna still and ended it pretty funny. I applaud you my guy
I came to this video after actually reading this exact thing on Reddit..... good god. Nail meet coffin. Jesus. i mean HOLY HELL. Speechless.
Ryan was never one of my favorite Achievement Hunter people. Jack, Micheal and Gavin have always been my favorites. But the shit that im just now learning about Ryan and why he left (i just found out Ryan left yesterday, January 14th 2021, yes i know im very late to the news), sickens me. This man has a family, a wife and 2 kids. its one thing to cheat on your wife but to do it with multiple very young women and all/most that looked up to him is absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking.
