So, because we had one for JonTron, when that all went down...

Why not have a centralized topic for the Projared thing? I'd like to see everyone's take on it.

For those that haven't been on Twitter, or are out of the loop on the subject:

ProJared is an internet/YouTube personality, who has been doing videos for a good few years now. He's someone with over 1 million subs, and is part of NormalBoots, aka the group of YouTubers that include PBGamer, at one point JonTron, and others. He's good friends with the GameGrumps crew as well, being in a good few of their videos as a guest before.

He's also been married for a while, to his wife, Heidi O'Ferrall, a fairly popular cosplayer and artist.

And as of last night, ProJared announced that he would be getting a divorce from her.


In a rather unexpected chain of events, Heidi then took to Twitter as well, to fire back at Jared's statement.




According to the wife, Jared had cheated on her with former GameGrumps "Steam Train" host Ross O'Donovan's ex-wife Holly Conrad. Allegedly, he also had been sending explicit pictures to fans, which apparently are circulating the internet, and are completely not allowed to be posted here.

PeanutButterGamer also decided to join the fray, with a handful of some now deleted Tweets, decrying Heidi's comments as slander, and that she should not have posted anything about the reasoning behind the divorce publicly.

Most of the replies from PBG ended up deleted overnight, after backlash, though some remain.

GameGrumps has also removed all videos involving Jared from their channel.

Which, pretty much summarizes it all up.

You can see some definite fan backlash, as he's lost at least 40k subs, dropping below his once over 1 million sub mark https://www.subscribercount.org/dmjared

What do you make of it all?

PBG's statements have got to be the weirdest thing. Like why die on a hill over defending Jared? He has no horse in the game, and only looks like a fool for telling Heidi to not have come forward with her information. Information that appears to have proof behind it, too. And he seems so salty over it all, too.

I hope they don't have kids.
Just a cat, which the wife took with her :P

Maybe PBG and Jared were making threesomes with her, so maybe he's protecting his fuck-buddies :P

Great idea to expose your personal business on Twitter


I hate SJW cunts

So... Is this a PR stunt?... Who decides to air their dirty laundry like this without some backwards motive driving it?

In any case, looking at some of the replies, anyone defending Jared in any circumstance is utterly braindead. People posting risqué photos allegedly sent by him, some of which are "tamer". Dude is a waste. Look at me, being a hypocrite over here. Forming an opinion on a controversial topic I only just noticed.

Boy, could your white knighting be more misguided? Where did I insinuate he's the only offender? Hmmm...

Regardless, why bring it to light when it doesn't involve anyone outside of their little circle? I don't get it... Of course, it IS Twitter..

No idea who these people are, but recognising some of the projects they were on I never much cared for those so that is probably why.

"because they blocked me"
Maybe it is just my master ninja hacker training shining through but it is not a matter of "right click, open in porn mode"?


That said I am mostly still impressed a cheating scandal can take hold in the world at this point, especially in games.

The fucked up thing about it is that Writers for major publishing sites use these little stories to try and spread their SJW narratives. Its sickening.

and this is where we are in 2019, personal matters are just flaunted in public to try drum up an army for you, whatever happened to humility, but on a more serious note, if its the case that his wife leaked those nudes would it not be possible for her to be charged under any revenge porn laws wherever they are located

seriously i don't see why people are so eager to declare themselves a victim its pathetic....not saying the guy isn't a shit head....just that why the fuck should anyone else care, did he fuck you or your wife? nope then whatever, there is much worse things to be doing than cheating on your wife.....but from what i hear those accusations are in the pipeline for this public dragging campaign

but personally i prefer stuff to be dealt with in the court of law, if he did something illegal he can pay the price, if he didn't and was just shitty to people, then only they have a right to be morally outraged at him, this death by twitter pile on BS is really just becoming like a medieval gladiator matches or witch hunts, most of the accusations end up being vague unsubstantiated accusations and yet people suffer the consequences as if they were convicted because some random @bunnyhoops said "he showed me his ding dong"

i mean like, surely you should just let him keep bringing in the cash so when you get your divorce you get more of that cash money....but i guess nothing beats the satisfaction of knowing you're fucking someone up who wronged you, feed him to the wolves and bathe in his blood because why the hell not, the wolves are always hungry for more blood

The internet equivalent of a couple's screaming match in the front yard at 3 AM.
This ^
I never heard of him before. I don't think megaphoning their private life issues on twatter is the way to go.
This as well ^ listen to the Neko.

at the end of the day who f-ed who and who cheated on who should be between them and sorted between them. However of course the internet will do what it pleases.

It’s just dumb Drama I don’t care about.

You shouldn’t post private stuff online that’s dumb. Look up Vic Mignognas case and people are getting sued for 1 million for stuff they should’ve kept to themselves.


I was actually going to make a complaint here because I see a few people post blogs of private stuff about their family and friends online. I would never do that myself and keep that stuff to myself. It’s really messed up to your family and friends also. How would you feel if someone did that about you, posting private stuff for everyone to see? Is your family okay with that, having stuff like that public? Be considerate of how they’ll feel about that.

People online will push the drama making it worse because drama is fun. It makes fixing problems harder when the drama is bigger. Even if it’s family problems, there’s no need to be public unless you’re in danger and in desperate need of help, there’s just no need to be public with problems unless they are ok with it. Keep it in your family and try to figure out among yourselves on how to deal with it without the outside involved.
