Ned Fulmer and Alexandria Herring cheating scandal explained

Rumors of the Yale-graduate cheating on his wife came to light after Reddit user hamilton390 took to the platform claiming that he had a lengthy conversation with Ariel where he sent her videos of Ned kissing another woman.

Speculation about the woman in question being Alexandria Herring was confirmed after fans noticed that the associate producer was carrying the same purse during the day and at the club where she was photographed kissing Fulmer.

Meanwhile, netizens also noted that Herring’s fiancé Will Thayer removed his pictures with Herring from his Instagram account and set it to private. Twitter user @camitwomeyy also claimed that YB, the senior editor of Food Babies unfollowed Herring and Ned Fulmer on Instagram.

It seems like Ned’s dissociation from The Try Guys was on the way as the group, which has amassed over 7.84 million subscribers on their YouTube channel, had stopped posting content with Fulmer. The 35-year-old also did not appear in their recent podcast episodes and was removed from their YouTube channel’s video introductions.

At the time of writing this article, Alexandria Herring had not issued a statement addressing the cheating scandal.
