YouJuber Jared Knabenbauer, known as ProJared, had recently been accused of infidelity and fan-grooming.

He claims that "Heidi has privacy, mental well-being and discretion and will remain my top priority."

O'Farrell lent several accusations against Knabenbauer on several Twitter threads, including cheating with material producer Holly Conrad, also known as Commander Holly. "I have the evidence," he tweeted. "Obviously the pictures of the conversation and their relationship, which he lied about me on many occasions." O'Farrell described Nabenbauer's "gaslet" about his infidelity, saying "insisted that the only wrong thing with our marriage was for me" after tweeting he tweeted.
Prior to Conrad, the animator and Contributors of Game Grumpes were married to Ross O'Donovan (who has been quiet on social media). He reacted on Twitter to Nabenbouur's original statement, "I am sorry that you are going through it. If you need me, then I am here for you." After receiving a backlash of massive internet , He posted a follow-up "This is not a business of somebody, but there is (SIC)."
Chris Perkins, who runs Dangans and Dragon Podcasts with Conrad and Nabenbauer, is also silent on the allegations.
Nonoboyer's YouTube Network Normal Boots has not yet released a statement (Newsweek has reached for comment) but some of the key members of the community have talked. YouTuber Forrest Furst responded to the statement of Knabenbauer's "Love You Kali" statement, peanut butter gamer, known for making video game YouTube videos, responded to O'Farrell's original tweet, "This is not the main is." They soon removed the post. But remain firm on the fact that divorce and drama should be "private."
In another Twitter thread, O'Farrell says that Knabenbauer launched a Tumblr blog to send nude photos to fans and he was sending the nude pictures of the fans themselves. Nabnabauer's friends started appearing online with the stories of "grooming" his fans. @ChaiTemporary shared his story on Twitter claiming that the pair had exchanged nude pictures despite being 16 years old at the time. "We talked sexually," Chai wrote. "He showed me his pictures with his dick in Cosplay." Chai sent an email to Normal Boots about his experience, in which employee Jack Khalil responded that he "takes this matter very seriously".
Chai refused to share a comment with Newsweek, who wrote, "There is no time or mental energy to help everyone."
