Technically it's one former employee, Not-Gay Jared, but Quarter Black Garrett has endorsed his video.

Cliffsnotes:

quitting Crowder's show was extremely acrimonious, they wanted him to agree not to work in any media anywhere and not in the US for two years
Crowder claimed ownership of Jared's twitter account and his personal film equipment
Crowder's lawyers got him fired from his next job due to claimed violations of a noncompete clause
they have also served him with a lawsuit this last fall for some other reason, it's not clear exactly what
Jared claims to have extensive documentation of abusive behavior on set
he is now soliciting legal fees to fight Crowder's lawsuit

Doesn't sound great. It's hard to think of any legitimate reason to turn the legal guns on a former employee in this case.

Abuse and harassment is easily cried. Someone wasn't nice to me=abuse. If that's true, and some kinda court will have to rule that out it's def. shitty. The only thing I would object to right now without knowing what actually went down behind the scenes is the non compete. It is always a shitty thing to do to someone imho. Other than that it seems like a lot of he said she said. Better to watch from afar.
