    The gist is that his pregnant girlfriend was having severe abdominal pains and Gus brushed it off and wouldn’t take her to an ER. She miscarried and he got canceled. This happened back in like 2021.

      Where do people even keep up with this shit?

      I just watch the content 99.999% of the time. Not that I won’t boycott shit I disagree with, but I definitely do not have the time or desire to seek out every wrongdoing of every entity I interact with. I’d rather just kill myself.

      Yup, and people acted like he was a domestic abuser for it and his career got tanked. I’ve been watching his stuff from the beginning, he never deserved the level of hate he got.

        I mean he lied about couples therapy immediately after to try and show he was trying to be better before actually trying to be better.

        Honestly I think it was 2 shitty young people exploding their very legitimate issues for a wide public and like most situations people immediately sided with the female for myriads of societal reasons.
        Then both tried to control the conversation and Gus with less support looks much worse but I think it’s fine if people have decided they like either of them less for the situation. Having personal opinions on people based on your observations of them is how humans roll and fine. Though getting involved in other people’s personal matters that have no outcome change from the audience getting involved is silly and unnecessary.

        But I went from watching him since he started to stopping just cause I couldn’t stop looking past the skit and seeing my opinions on the person.
