A real shame that this institution of a show fell apart over 5%.

I'm surprised that their split was 50/50 up until this day.

I suspect it was a remnant of when the show began 8 years ago when they were single and childless.

I can see how Matt would grow resentful over time considering he's doing all the background work while Rebecca , as the pretty talent, shows up twice a week for 5 hours and couldn't even commit to the whole show once she became a mother.

That being said, Matt also has YT creator disease where you wonder what he does all week and claims to be doing days upon days of show prep.

In the end, Matt needs the show more than Blonde. Blonde is a retired conservathot-turned-tradwife&SAHM with wealthy offscreen husband.

Matt is the breadwinner for his wife and family who needs to do the YT grind for another two decades or get a real job.

Cood catch. Man, it's a real shame if it fell apart over business matters, not that there's really a good way for it to happen.

OOOOOF. If true...pretty much what I expected, but terrible, terrible look.

I’d also like to offer some transparency because this will be discussed on Matt’s solo show tomorrow...

AKA, trying to get out in front of Matt reasonably stating the truth, sounds like.

After a spat resulting from my tardiness when I tore a ligament in my foot on Wednesday...

"whaa, whaa, I'm a victim." As she goes on to say, and as everyone knows, Matt was doing most of the work. This was cumulative frustration, I'm guessing, and not 'wow, how could you hurt your foot.'

In order to continue to appear with me in the future, I would have to take a pay cut from 50/50 to 60/40, to stay for the duration of reading superchats instead of putting my children to bed, and to increase my work and effort level on the show.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Like I said, I like her, but she's insane and spoiled, and pretty much a feminist on certain issues.

She's literally whining about having to read super chats, brings up her kids as an excuse (that's her life situation to solve, and I think this show is basically her full time job, once [now twice...well now zero] times a week), and then says he wants more effort.

Also, 50/50 doesn't surprise me, because Matt seems like that kind of guy...but he was massively overpaying her. Jesus.

As expected, this was an epic bitchfit from Blonde. Sad. Way to throw away a golden opportunity because you're spoiled.

However, the last few years, I have become bored with the news cycle and I think it has been obvious to the audience.

And she goes on to say she's bored. Man, we'll wait and see what Matt has to say, although I expect him to be nice about it. But this is why you shouldn't respect women. I knew this was what she was like but...wow.

I suggested that I pick and populate half of the topics, split the proceeds 55/45 in his favor and we continue to work together. I was rejected and was told that his family’s livelihood cannot be gambled on me.

Her counterpoint was to take over his show. She's lost the plot. She's in her own little world, holy crap.

His ultimatum was completely fair. I do less work. But I resented being given an ultimatum and list of terms, as well as my offer being denied.

So, my first instinct was correct. MASSIVE FUCKING WOMAN MOMENT.

So, I suppose, it is true that I quit, but not without impetus. It is also true that I did not want to do a final stream where we squabbled over the details of our parting.

Yeah, cause it sounds like you're dead wrong, by your own arguments.

...I merely found the idea so uncomfortable that I didn’t want to do it.

...

No matter what is said about me on tomorrow’s stream, I am not going to respond so as not to drag this out further. I’ve also been asked to not speak in the chat again.

Man. Poor Matt.

Why would you do that if you're already bored with the news?
