In a post on Instagram Joe Gatto announced that due to personal issues including an amicable split with his wife, that he will be leaving Impractical Jokers.
Obviously life comes first and all the support in the world to him, but I'm going to be sad that Joe left, he was my favorite joke and a huge loss to the show.

Whaaaaaattttt?!?
I lost TruTV a while ago and haven’t been keeping up but that’s terrible. I didn’t know he had those issues. That sucks, that’s gotta be a wrap on IJ.

This sucks. I absolutely understand why but this sucks. I've met him before and he was very kind and funny.

Pessimist mind says a scandals right around the corner. a comedian, who is close to the 4, did a tik tok/some social media post indicating something of the same, and his wife did as welll...the other 3;s post was very curt

If all of this true with the pranks, shouldn’t everyone be held responsible?

If all of this true with the pranks, shouldn’t everyone be held responsible? I don’t think the pranks are the issue if I understand what it is that is being implied. I think what is being implied is that Joe may have done something in the #MeToo vein and that skits that previously may have been “harmlessly awkward” may be looked upon less favourably once something comes out If I’ve gotten any of this wrong then my apologies. And if my understanding is correct then I would hope the implications turn out to be incorrect but I imagine we’ll find out one way or another

Joe was my favourite member of the Impractical Jokers gang so him leaving is disappointing, but nowhere near as disappointing as the thought of him leaving due to misconduct on his part.
He always seemed like a good guy so hopefully this isn't what it sounds like but it doesn't sound good.

Seems like the nicest/funniest soul. I’m also surprised the other three plan on “continuing” on in some way. I don’t see it working without Joe.

I love Joe, he's my favourite Joker and I think one of the funniest people ever on TV.
There's a podcast of Joe with Theo Von from two years ago. It's on Youtube if anyone wants to check it out. I'm going from memory here, he said that while they were filming the movie, his wife almost divorced him during that because it was an insane amount of time away from home (I think over a year?) and barely saw his kids. He said it lead to a lot of tension.
Joe also has his own Youtube channel. I've heard him say on there before that he and his wife went through/were having some tough times. This has been brewing for a while at least.
I don't know what the rumours are, I've only seen what's been posted in this thread. Whatever it is, as weird as it is to say, I just hope it's his marriage issues.
Also all the Jokers said in many interviews that if one of them left, the show would be over. I have no idea what's in their contracts but I would guess this would be the last season. It's my favourite comfort show so this sucks.
Edit - if anyone wants to see the podcast, it's the Theo Von #234. Joe starts talking about it around 57:10.

It's a shame they stopped putting out DVDs after like season 5. When my mom passed away and I moved back in with dad for a week or so, I packed clothes, toiletries, and my IJ DVDs to get me through.
