A Start-to-Current Breakdown For Those Confused/Late
Post Body

  1. A user (now allegedly understood to be Will, Alexandria's (food babies, Ned's employee) (ex?-)fiancé) made a post detailing the rumour that Ned had been spotted hooking up in NYC about 3 weeks ago, shortly after the incident in question with Alex happened (sep 3 was the night), but nobody believed them. The post was subsequently deleted.
  2. Ned's recent absence from videos was being noted in the sub in the last few days and the rumour started getting mentioned again as a possible reason for him not appearing in videos as the timeline suspiciously lined up.
  3. Screencaps were shared of a convo a user in this sub had with an IG account that is allegedly Will, corroborating that initial post showing that someone contacted him via IG DM with info and videos that she saw Alex and Ned hooking up at a club in NYC (the dates lined up with when the cast including Ned and Alex were known to have been in NYC). Since it was just screencaps, the video screenshots are blurry and inconclusive, but don't look ~unlike the two of them, just cannot be definitively identified. We don't know if the actual vids sent to will were clearer/more conclusive. (I will not share this link as it had a phone number linked to Ned in the screencaps. The photos are widely available now anyways)
  4. Sub users started paying attention to who was following who on IG and found several notable things:
    - Will has been actively scrubbing his feed of pics of him and Alex all day (Sep 26, and as of early am Sep 27 all photos of her are gone), and has unfollowed both Alex and Ned. He also privated his account, then later went back to public, only to private again shortly after. It has also been confirmed that he is following the person who has been confirmed to have sent him the tip/info/videos.
    - Alex is still following Will, but has deleted the photos announcing their engagement/the engagement trip she took, as well as set her comments to limited. Alex also unfollowed Ned.
    - Ned unfollowed Alex and Will (and Jake?)
    - YB (Alex's irl friend and co-host of food babies, and Ned's employee) unfollowed both Alex and Ned but still follows Will & the rest of the team (Alex still follows YB) (YB's bff/bridesmaid also unfollowed both of them)
    - Jake (staff member who recently departed the team, whose farewell party this month Ned and Ariel were conspicuously absent from) unfollowed both Alex and Ned (but still follows the rest of the cast (who all follow back minus Zach, but not sure if he ever did or when he unfollowed))
  5. The ball was now starting to get rolling in the sub, though many were very skeptical. People started to comment that they found the pacing/editing on a couple recent vids without Ned in them very weird and that they seemed rushed, and that his exclusion from them was notable as they were vids he would have been likely to have taken part in. They also noted the title cards were missing which has never been the case prior to now.
  6. People then started to look closer at the vids and found definitive proof that someone–likely/obviously Ned–had been edited out of at least 2 recent videos despite being present/part of the "cast" on the day of filming (post 1 post 2 post 3)
  7. Someone posted about it on twitter which has now blown up and spread to tik tok and tumblr as well.
  8. Zach has allegedly (!unconfirmed) made a comment on their official fan/patreon discord confirming that they/their team are aware of the activity on this sub, and said the discord was free to discuss as they see fit (tweet) (again, unconfirmed, but this is allegedly in a chat/channel directly to the mods of the discord, and mods passed along this info to the rest of the sub but no mention that this was at Zach's behest)
