I fear that, in 2026, we still can’t escape Ned Fulmer. ICYMI, an old video of the former“I love my wife” internet personality has surfaced, making fans wonder if The Try Guys knew about the 2022 cheating scandal all along. However, Try Guys member Keith Habersberger took to TikTok to give his take on the newly surfaced Ned Fulmer video — including who was in the video with him.
If you’re unaware, Fulmer was an original member of the Try Guys alongside Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld, and Eugene Lee Yang. The group originally began creating content for BuzzFeed; however, they left in 2018 to create their own media company. The Try Guys then came under fire after Fulmer cheated on his wife, Ariel Fulmer, by having an affair with an employee of the company, which he called a “consensual workplace relationship.” Shortly after, Fulmer was terminated from the Try Guys, with the company writing, “As a result of a thorough internal review, we do not see a path forward together.”
On Feb. 24, the TikTok account @fisherwelch posted a video of Fulmer dancing with and hugging a woman at a bar in Nashville. The lengthy caption went into detail on the experience, claiming he witnessed Fulmer “bumping and grinding with strangers.” To this creator, it seemed innocent enough until the cheating scandal went public years later. The comment section is full of remarks on how this video should have been released sooner, since it was taken several years ago.
After the release of what TikTok is dubbing the “Ned Files,” Habersberger took to TikTok to contextualize the video from his perspective. Though Habersberger states he “tries not to get involved in the semi-annual internet drama” caused by his former colleague, he wanted to comment to relieve fan concerns.
According to Habersberger, the video was taken in the spring of 2022, six months before the initial cheating scandal took place. The Try Guys had just wrapped up the first episode of their new TV show in Nashville, so their team took to the town to celebrate as friends.
“This is a video of Ned and our producer Rachel, who’s been with us since 2018, dancing as friends, hugging, and celebrating, and being proud of ourselves for making a TV show,” said Habersberger, “You can see me in the background of that video, also just having fun.”
Habersberger also stated that this was far before the scandal came out, which changed the perception of that interaction. “A lot of people seem to think that we knew this was happening before it was. We didn’t. It really sucked for us, too,” he says. So, there you have it, folks!
