Shitty thing to do, but with how much they always alluded to Jake's mental issues it's not shocking that something happened.

How do video review sites birth so much f***ing drama? Honestly, it's the regulars on that site who blows things out of proportion. People feel like they need take sides.

This is like the third time you've subtly insulted me and my posts in this thread and accused me of stirring the pot and creepily meddling in someones private affairs. When everything I am posting is pretty public stuff and by no means were my intentions to bombard an internet celebrity for private info, as I've never spoke with anyone involved once, literally all of this is from these people's actual message boards. Hum, I wasn't talking about you but about the guy who posted it in the CA forum, and I haven't accused you of anything, let alone insulted, or implied anything about you. The most I did was asked people in general, without targetting anyone or accusing anyone of anything wrong, to avoid spreading rumours.

How do video review sites birth so much f***ing drama? Internet is serious business. With CA I think it has more to do with the business model. With TEAM snob I think it comes from only Brad making a living off the videos and and issues coming from notoriety going to their head. Not that there's been a lot with Brad's Crew but with the little there has been it seems to be that

I've gotta be honest, does kill a lot of my interest in future Midnight Screenings.
Also guess it's inevitable we're never getting more 80s Dan then.

Though this case sounds strictly personal. Makes me very glad the Super Best Friends have a more reliable model and all four of them make a living off of the site, youtube videos, and podcast, not to mention shirts and cons and such. They seem to have more stability.

Hi everyone! I just want to set some things straight on here. I am completely and utterly prepared for the consequences and seeing as Brad opened his big mouth first I thought I'd clear up a few things when it comes to the whole "Jake Fired" thing.
Let me start off introducing myself. My name is Mama Kat and my relationship to Jake is that I am the mother to his first son. I was at one point considered Brad's friend but seeing as he blocked me on Facebook (For no other reason than butt-hurtness) I guess we aren't Bros anymore. (Oh yeah, I also stole the girl he "loves".) I am also Rayn's girlfriend and maid of honor. (I was asked to clarify that they aren't engaged. I just will forever be her maid of honor no matter who she marries.)
So to say that I'm a little involved in the situation and a little biased is probably an accurate statement.
But let me reiterate that I have tried to see both sides of the situation and I do have a strong opinion on both.
Brad is correct. He did have feelings for Rayn. From my understanding they were real and deep. But it wasn't reciprocated. That had nothing to do with Jake. It just wasn't mutual and unfortunately that didn't seem to be understood at the time. This I can slightly understand why he was upset.
When Rayn and I started dating I made it clear she had to put a huge foot down and tell Brad so that he understood there was no way in hell that they would be together. She did this and Brad said he was hurt but got over it. The moment she told him Jake was now involved he threw a panty fit that his "brother" found happiness. He fired Jake because he was so butt-hurt and couldn't stand the fact that he REALLY couldn't have Rayn now.
Jake didn't steal anyone. She wasn't interested. Why is that so hard to understand? So no. I don't have any of this "blah blah blame Jake blah blah he stole her blah blah" talk. That is completely irritating.
Thank God they haven't talked. I really don't see the reason Jake should have to talk to a child about grown up issues. Clearly he can't handle them.
I have no comment on Jake's past relationships. The fact it was brought up is completely and utterly uncalled for is so mind blowing that I can't even begin to comprehend why it crossed his mind.
BUT I WILL ADDRESS THE 17 YEAR OLD ISSUE HE STATED. Yeah I know who this was directly addressed towards. She kept hitting on Jake. I saw the messages. Brad even admits to seeing them to. When I confronted him about seeing the messages he immediately became quiet saying Maybe jake intended to be with her. No. He told her to stop messaging him. And then the topic was immediately dropped. I am the youngest person jake has been with since he was 18. And he carded me! He doesn't want to go to jail. He isn't like that.
It's funny that he says he bangs so many woman... hahaha... Jake you're cute. But I know you aren't that trashy. I could easily chop these thoughts and comments he's making to Brad's past issues but that isn't my type of personality. I guess that's the difference between a 21 year old woman and a 33 year old child.
Jake is an amazing actor. Anyone who thinks that he has serious issues is such a fool. Brad if he fooled you then he deserves to be hired back. Quite frankly you're nothing but a foolish child. Even if the truth was he was bonkers how slimy is it to say it out to the whole world? I'm so disappointed in what was said. I don't bring up YOUR issues brad. It wouldn't be right.
I'm a little biased when it comes to people lying about others that I care about. So to say I'm aggressive is true. I don't handle lying well. And the whole statement he made is so "slighted" towards him that it makes me sick. Maybe he should list true facts the way that it happened.
Rayn was interested.
Brad was interested.
Rayn wasn't interested.
Brad still was.
Rayn was interested towards me and Jake.
Brad didn't get it.
Brad finally got it.
Rayn apologized he wasn't the right fit.
Jake got fired.
WOOHOO
SO COMPLEX.
I am completely and utterly prepared to hear people trash me. And trash the situation. Go ahead. But I have only spoke the truth. For the record I have been banned from two sites after respectfully answering questions about what happened. Brad has "cleared" things up he's wrote in messages I've gotten. I found this thread from three different people. Brad referenced it. Rayn did. Jake did. Found some on my own. I am biased. But I hate people being Persuaded without all the facts. Yes brad has a right to be upset. But he has no rights to lie. Frankly brad is the one who asked noone to say anything. And jake agreed. Jake hasn't broken his silence.

For realsies. None of this drama makes sense to me, I have no idea who these people are, don't follow that website, can't figure out why people are digging in other people's personal lives, or why these people feel the need to defend themselves to these random gossip hounds who feel they're owed inside information. MamaKat you're welcome here, FAN is an open community. Be aware we try our damnedest to keep drama free though.

I would be perfectly happy with that. I'd like to keep it that way. I've been through so many people ramming me for everything that every time someone talks about the site and what happened I automatically just put that post and try to move on. I don't like liars so I apologize if it seems that I was starting drama. I just don't enjoy misinformation. It might be my downfall at some point. I don't plan on saying anything else. This site honestly looked awesome! I am enjoying digging through it. I'm such a comic fiend I saw threads involving the new movies coming out. (So excited!)

Now I'm starting to wonder about the truth about what happened with Jerrid. Very weird situation, don't really trust what the Brad said, but don't know if I trust Mamakat either (no offense). Oh well, as people will probably point out, it's none of my business. But, all interest in Brad's stuff is officially dead so I think I'm done with him and his site anyway.

This is all just amazing/interesting to me and I'm ashamed of it.
Bless James Rolfe. People may argue that his AVGN videos have gone down in quality (I disagree), but at least he seems like a good dude with a normal life.

Oh yeah, we've got a wide variety of subject matter we cover. Wrestling, music, screaming at remakes, comics, web comics, video games, ponies, there's a big horror fan base here, you name it.

Wait wait wait!!! All this drama is happening over a fairly major internet celebrity with potential impact on just about every aspect of geek culture, and parties to this conflict are choosing to address matters though FAN? My God people, we've done it. We've gone from some little rinky dink website about crappy wrestling to a true pop culture phenomenon. WE'VE MADE IT PEOPLE!!! WE'VE MADE IT!!!

well if mamakat is legit, I'd say that the true story is probably in the middle...
but out of curiosity, how'd this site become the one to post that side of the story?

People may argue that his AVGN videos have gone down in quality (I disagree), but at least he seems like a good dude with a normal life. This got me thinking about Retsupurae, since I was watching one of their videos yesterday. Pretty much the only personal things I know about them are: Diabetus is from Alabama, and slowbeef is from New Jersey and in recent years got a degree in something or another, married, bought a house and has a young daughter. I know those things only because they mention/joke about it in videos. I have no idea what, say, Diabetus' family situation looks like, or for that matter which specific towns they currently live in, and I don't care to find out. And yeah, James Rolfe has for example never even mentioned the name of his daughter, since he doesn't want to make her life a public thing.
