Hello everyone, and thank you for your responses to the video. I'm pinning this comment to cover any FAQ or important things that come up. - A shot statement about a minority of comments and what I've see on Twitter: Antisemitism is terrible, as long as I own this channel it is not allowed here, and I would ask that everyone leave ethnicity out of this. ( I have seen the discussions on X and it is not relevant. ) - Why did Adam consider racism as a reason for X demanding to not working with me? When X never gave Adam a reason for demanding we never again work together, he had to draw his own conclusions about what may have happened. Antisemitism is arguably the worst insult that he considered possible, and he added it to his personal apology to me about what happened. - Why did I not speak publicly about this when X made accusations originally? - Because Adam reached out to me quickly in 2023 and asked me to provide my written statement and not speak about it further as whatever was going on behind the scenes legally and within the company happened. Why did the business not step in? - While I did reach out to a member of their staff the day that the Instagram Incident (so dramatic) occurred, it was NOT a member of management. And that is potentially an error on my part for not going 'higher' in an effort to cause less drama, at the time. - Is this video monetized? - This video is set to NOT monetized by UA-cam because of the nature of the content and situation.
Everyone talking about the identities of "X" and "Z" and I'm just over here wondering if the person from WrestleTalk that you got ahold of on Discord is known to do a flip.....or for having a Happy Birthday more than once a year
I appreciate the added context, because only having “X’s” vague but extremely inflammatory statements for so long has been unnerving. I typically don’t care about influencers/creators personal lives unless they’re actively hurting someone and that’s very much how “X” made it seem. I try to always believe victims when they come out with allegations and I don’t need any graphic details because it’s not my place, yet past experience with Adam doing genuinely messed up things in private and owning up to it, taking time off to seek therapy and seemingly doing better, made his denial seem legitimate too. I’ve basically been in this weird limbo state in relation to both of them and trying not to make any assumptions either way until more context was given. I’m sorry you had to go through this confusing and frustrating situation.
Do a return Wrestling style. Gotta go for the pop from the crowd. Remember the 2nd season of no rolls barred when kid flips died and then Sullivan joined the cast? DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!!!
Total respect for saying this Angela. This was a brave move for sure. You have my support. I am going to go watch Adams video as well just to get his side of the story.
I hadn't even seen Adam's statement pop up until this video appeared in my feed, so thank you for raising awareness, especially for people who don't peruse the subreddit much, as well as for speaking up and being one of the few willing to speak openly on the matter. This situation has been scuffed since the beginning, and I just hope that people are doing all right. I had assumed your disappearance was based on the shift of focus to more in person episodes. It's disappointing that it was something so strange and off-hand. You were always a fun addition to the cast, and brought a good energy to the table, even when the table was virtual. I just can't fathom someone being that upset over an instagram post, especially when the entire purpose of the post was to celebrate a meeting. You sharing the picture was sharing the interaction and proclaiming to the world "check this out". To try to say that you were trying to hide her account or stop people from finding it is so ridiculous to me. Which makes me think that the issue may have been more the OnlyFans content, because I can see some people taking some sort of moral stance against such content. But it also seems odd to take such an objection against it, but without making it known, and then to be so against it that they straight up refuse to work with someone engaged in it. It's like...damn, if you have an issue with something, learn to communicate. And also learn to let people do their own thing when it doesn't affect you in any way. All I hope is that the people involved with this will be able to recover and move on. Adam did something shitty, but he did that to his partner and not any of the viewers and it's not my place to punish or absolve him for things he did in his personal life. And any negative effects from his decisions should be in his personal life. I think NRB has done well without him, because Laurie stepped up as host, but I would love to see Adam return, even as a guest while he builds himself back up. But I could also understand why he wouldn't want to expose himself to that potential for negativity. Obviously I'd also love to see you return to the NRB tables, but they've fully shifted to in-person at this point, which makes that seem unfeasible. But I always enjoyed your appearances, and continue to do so when I watch older episodes. I don't know why I wrote this much. I just like NRB and it's sad to see so much vitriol and confusion for a situation that most of us know so little about. But now we know a little bit more, thanks to you.
I still watch NRB, but I do miss Adam. I hope he does get to come out the other side of this without too much trauma. It really is a shame that something like this can cause so much hurt and misunderstanding. Thanks for sharing your side!
I am so sorry that this happened to you and your partner. I wish you both the Very Best moving forward and that you have more business opportunities down the line road. You handled this situation like a true professional. Your are extremely articulate individual, but most importantly your handled this like an adult.
Thank you so much for making a public statement on this. There's so much misinformation out there, and I fluctuate between anger and frustration over it.
It's been and gone. This is like commenting on the sinking of the Titanic. Would have made sense this was said a long time ago. Nrb has moved on and for the better
I agree. I hope we can move past this and get both of you back on the channel. So many missed opportunities but all we can do is move forward and hope for the best now.
thanks for speaking out about this and giving your side of the story. also, thank you for showing your support to Adam in the hopes that he can get his career back on track. the whole situation is such a shame
It's crazy how genuine well-thought out responses like this are getting ignored, but people are still dragging Adam on Twitter cause it's funny. The man is innocent. Let him recover in peace now thanks
I've seen disgusting comments on Facebook (from people who clearly haven't followed any of anybody's statements) calling him a pdf file and saying he committed SA. Both of which are obviously not true.
What's worse is most people won't even watch the video, just judging based on past (which, if they were only caring about the past time, that's their choice, but using this false accusation to hammer him is bs)
I mean, he's not totally innocent, though.. evidently, his moral compass is askew, but his actions really shouldn't be anyone's business except those who it actually effects, like himself, his partner(s) and 'X'. We still have only heard of 2/3 stories, so I wish everyone would just relax until we hear all sides. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.
Thank you for putting this statement out, Angela. Stepping up to defend someone caught in the internet's crosshairs can be extremely difficult and stressful, but it is undoubtably the right thing to do.
Thanks for making this statement. It’s so sad that this thing escalated the way it did. Adam isn’t perfect, but he doesn’t deserve the treatment he’s received for the last year. I really hope to see him, and you, back in NRB content soon. ❤
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I absolutely respect & completely support both you & your partner. You’ve handled this very professionally. You were very respectful to all involved & very articulate. Thank you for the vid & your side. Wish you nothing but the best going forward. 💜💜
It sucks you had to go through this but thank you for standing up for your friend. He did not deserve what he has gone through over the last year, nor did you deserve to be made to feel uncomfortable no matter what the reason was.
Haven't finished the video yet, but since Adam's video has comments disabled, I just wanted to voice my support here. I knew something about this seemed fishy from the start of the accusations. Adam and "X" were overtly flirtatious on camera, more than once, so it felt like there were details being left out from the beginning. Thank you for speaking about this, Angela, and tell Adam to keep his head up, there are people out there that believe in his ability to change and were happy to see the WT team give him a second chance. I know it's foolish to wish for his return, but his initial return meant so much to me that I personally hope he does. Adam Blampied is the reason i started watching youtube regularly.
Another thing that caught my attention was I forget if it was him, or WrestleTalk, but it was stated Adam was seeking legal council for next steps, which was a far cry from his previous allegations. Guilty men don't typically get the law involved.
Happy to hear your side of this. The vague allegations against Adam never sat right with me and I knew that the second this happened, the court of public opinion wouldn't need evidence or even a solid explanation of what he apparently did. Seeing people joking about the situation or just assuming that Adam is a repeat offender because that's the easiest answer that requires 0 context of the actual situation at large. I really hope Adam is able to return someday or at the very least, have his name cleared.
The worst part is the original thing he did while douchie was never that bad. Douchie for sure, but the vagueness of these allegations made it seem so much worse and people juxt believed it.
@@destination-yesterday neat, but because of how opinion is believed over fact, he will not be seen on NRB or WrestleTalk ever again, even if he's proven innocent. Perception is everything nowadays, and these companies understandibly have to protect themselves.
This is why I always liked you being on NRB videos because you're just genuine and real. 'X' always to me came across as needing to be the centre of every NRB video she was apart of. Laurie and the guys/girls have done a great job with NRB since Adam left but I do miss Adam being apart of the channel. You could tell how much fun he was having playing Board Games with his friends. I hope to see you on NRB again and I hope that the person on question can humble her ego enough to come out and apologise or atleast give the whole truth rather than leaving people to rot.
I actually really liked X and thought she had amazing chemistry with Adam so it was really shocking when these accusations came out. I do love how NRB rolled with things and how everyone stepped up. Dom went from being a lovable side character to a very prominent role. And Laurie finally got a taste of what it’s like to have everyone gang up on him. Like Laurie won so much because everyone would gang up on Adam while Laurie silently racked up points. I do want to see Adam come back at least for a one shot here and there.
@@kashtrey i liked her at first too but if you go back and watch some of the eps shes in she is abit fake and over the top sometimes. And in the BOTC games shes in she always made it about her whether she was on good team or evil. Reason id like to see Adam back is because he was having fun and it showed on screen. If someone your watching is enjoying a game and having fun and a laugh it makes it so much more enjoyable to watch. PS - Dom is probably my fav out the whole group hes so funny. Someone else i miss on there is Issacc.
@@andrewb1984 oh I def want Adam back I've loved him since the what culture days. Just saying I think the team has really done amazing without him. And man I like Isaac too he was great. We've had a ton of really great guest stars.
When Sullivan Bo Brown, one of the most chill people I've ever met, gets upset with X, then you know something is rotten in Denmark. "You simply must stop." (Edit: Let's Play Modern Art)
Hey Angela, it really sucks that you've been dragged into this mess like this. I hope this situation resolves with the truth prevailing and holding 'x' accountable.
Thank you for sharing. When the allegations came out I assumed they were solid, given Adam's past issues and not having any knowledge of Carley lying about such serious things. That you and him are both speaking out and claiming to have receipts means a lot however, and I'm more than happy to accept that I assumed wrongly. Adam is very lucky that he has someone willing to stick their neck out and advocate for him, so thank you for being brave. I really hope Adam and you can both feature in NRB content together in the future.
I haven't seen Adam's statement (only having just now seen Angela's), but like you I had assumed his absence meant he did something "wrong" and thus deserved to be gone. To think that Carley would be the one behind this pettiness makes a lot of sense... her personality comes off like a partner I lived with for several years. Classic narcissism. I hate that I felt good about "justice being served" now, if that's indeed incorrect, but I've swallowed my pride many a times before. He's not my favorite but he doesn't deserve to be thrown under the bus either.
I really appreciate this vulnerable, measured, and humble response - it really helps shine further light on this whole debacle. I hope you, Adam, and X all come to some sort of resolution, re: the situation, hopefully beyond more than just... letting things silently exist in the past and closing the door on it. I personally really enjoyed the NRB content you took part in, and I hope in the future the opportunities that likely were closed off from you (or at least, were negatively impacted) by the situation are, in some ways, opened again. Power to you for pursuing something you find joyous, even as others might seem to carry disdain for your passion. I hope you thrive beyond your wildest imaginings.
Thank you so much for making this statement. I have a huge amount of respect for how you've addressed this and even now you're being incredibly generous towards X. I'm so sorry you were put into such a terrible position and lost out on opportunities over something so petty. Regardless of whether X was upset over the Instagram thing or if the 'values' she spoke about related to your OF, this tells me a lot about who she is and it doesn't paint the best impression. I hope everyone affected by this situation can move on, and that the destruction to so many lives caused by one person can be repaired.
@@damagedheather it doesnt though as this video is GUESSING intentions. It's months later than viable to be any kind of revelation and why not refer to Carly than this bs X?
@@skyblazeeternowhy does everyone bring time into things? It's their real lives and people through this time wanted to know. And I'm happy they spoke because otherwise people like u would just assume he was guilty.
I remember during one of your streams I commented about your appearances on NRB Zoom Clocktower games. It all makes sense now. You left a fairly big impression on the group given that Ken used your name for one of his Townsfolks. Your statement definitely has more weight than I initially imaginee.
@@justinehercthehuman Ken made some penultimate homebrew script called "Trust No One". Angela was playing with NRB quite frequently back then and played with Ken via Zoom. Anyways, Ken included a Townsfolk character named "The Angela" with a Warhammer icon as the character's symbol. Y'know, the Warhammer logo? Her ability was nuts: "Each night pick an Evil character (a Demon once), you learn it is one of two players". Very strong.
but normal people do not get in to this kind of stuff and it is not the first time for adam either he just need to get of youtube for ever and live his life
@@johansvensson833 From what I can tell (and it is entirely possible I am wrong of course) Adam has made great efforts to overcome who he was before. He's not perfect, but perfection isn't something we can demand 100% of the time. He shouldn't have to give up something he built up for so long over accusations that seem to have been made up to cause damage to both of these people. If there is more to the story I am willing to reconsider my stance, but so far everything seems to point a certain way and both Adam and Angela shouldn't be punished for that.
This was an adult situation that should have been handled by adults in an adult manner, and instead was handled like a bunch of fucking high schoolers on Twitter.
Thank you for being upfront with this Angela. As far as I know you've always been a real one! I hope more people follow in defence of Adam. He's a human, he's made mistakes but he does not deserve to be blacklisted from doing what he loves for that. If someone is to investigate they will find my comments under NRB videos about the sexual tension between X and Adama and how I thought they are a couple and when things went south I expressed how shocked I am etc. I can't believe for once in my life I had the right read on the situation. Hopefully Adam clears his name and comes back. He's an entertaining person and I enjoy his content. P.S. I absolutely believe his side of the story. Sorry butehe didn't even face an actual accusation this time, people just cancelled him because of his past and because of the person accusing him of something bad... The whole situation was gnarly.
I was 100% convinced they were a couple before everything went down. I remember they had a pair of matching sweaters in a video, and they were insanely flirty on the last in person botc they did together (with most of the flirting coming for her, actually). I haven't watched Adam's video, but the way carley acted by then was super sus, so I'm ready to hear his side of the story.
@@sofiipote7 Right!? They had more than a few videos with a lot of innuendo between them. One of the versions that came to my head when the accusations came out was that this was Adam acting unprofessional and being a predator but quickly I came to the conclusion that this was very clearly mutual and coming from her even more. Everything was Sus since day one. I recommend you hearing Adam's side. Look it up it will come in a search about him and "why I left". He paints a very believable version on what happened. He expresses he's ready to provide proof of what he's saying via text messages if his version is challenged. I just fear his very reasonable and very humane approach to his defense might cost him as the social court doesn't take into account legality, consideration about affecting others and reasonable approach. Him having his past is also ammunition that will always be used against him. I hope he clears his name successfully. Seems like a decent lad who's made mistakes and is trying to better himself which is relatable for a human being and I do enjoy him as an entertainer.
@@Galloglaochthat last word of your original comment might be the saddest instance of "I understood that reference" I have ever uttered🤣😞 No, but seriously. I actually paused the video just scroll the first couple of bits of the comments section and I'm seeing your thread and I'm remembering my own "Holy 💩 are they....." thoughts of Adam and X before the accusations even came down. If I remember rightly I even commented on one of the games, cuz there was a run of two or three that gave me that vibe, including the one referenced in the top thread... "You MUST STOP"
@@Galloglaoch I've watched his video and I fully agree with you. He admits he made mistakes, but he just seems like a normal person who makes mistakes. Carley DOES NOT. These stories paint her as very manipulative and vindictive. I have to be honest, I always sorta disliked her, and when her accusations came out, like never before, I had my doubts (not because of my personal dislike, but mostly because of what we discussed of her videos with Adam). Having heard Angela's and Adam's sides, it all makes sense now, unfortunately
I'm so happy that you made this video. After watching Adam's video, I went and saw the reactions of many on X/Twitter. The majority rejected Adam out of hand. Many didn't even watch the video. Many were saying they didn't want to hear him out and still believed him to be this terrible person. I'm hoping that this video will change their minds about Adam. Whatever people may think about his personal life, which really is none of our business, he should be able to work doing the things he loves. Many of us are rooting for Adam and hope he comes back to NRB and Wrestletalk soon!
Way too many people nowadays believe in a one strike and you're out policy. Interestingly, this often comes from self proclaimed tolerant and accepting folks....
The internet lynch mob can be set off by merely hinting at someone’s transgression. The vaguest allegations can now ruin lives - all that need be done is casually reference “predatory behavior.” The internet mob will fill in the rest with whatever horrible crimes they imagine. This is the first I’m learning of any of this, because the other folks involved aren’t people I follow on UA-cam. But it brings to mind another horrific situation in which someone’s life and career were shattered by flimsy allegations that were believed and amplified by internet goons eager to believe the worst about someone. In that case, Ed Piskor was driven to end his life. Hopefully, Adam has supportive friends and family around him that will see him through this.
If he is innocent then he deserves the chance to come back, I do miss Adam on NRB, him and sully were great to watch together. I would love to see him back
I wouldn't take X seriously. Half the people on there won't even be fans, and are just trying to be morally virtuous in a severely misguided way. The rest are just mentally fudged up or trolling.
Oft. The second hand social anxiety from that meet up story is intense. 😅 Also good on you for what you said at the end. Often its hard to say honestly when we support a friend when these kind of things come up but you said it clearly and thats important and brave.
Let’s get you back on no rolls barred. Let’s get Adam back on no rolls barred. Let’s get Adam back on Wrestletalk. And let’s get you both on Quizzlemania! Both of you making such brave statements after going through character defamation means you both deserve to be making great content for us to watch
I mean it really isn't character defamation at this point. I liken it to character assassination, she has taken everything Adam loved and made it impossible for him to move forward. Even if he wins any kind of case, it is unlikely that he will ever return to NRB even though they sorry need him in their videos (just my personal opinion).
As much as I would love to see Adam back on Wrestletalk, I feel like after the insane amount of work he put in and how little they backed him, I feel like they don't deserve him. I feel Adam is a big enough name to front his own channel and I would definitely support him.
@@garethsaunders8801 They either couldn't support him with those types of allegations or he voluntarily left so Wrestletalk and NRB wouldn't get blowback.
@@mezzaros5534 it's most likely a mixture of both as adam and nrb both said adam left of his own accord to protect both the company and cast and seeing as in adams statement video he still refered to the nrb/wrestle talk people as his friends they seem to be on good therms and I hope this video and adams video will eventually lead to a return for both cause both are awesome people imo
Poor Adam. Good on you for making this video and hopefully moving the ball in a healthy direction. Hope to see you and Adam back at it. I can't take anyone else doing wrestling video commentary lol.
Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful explanation of your experiences, Angela. I do hope X comes out with her side of the story and/or an apology, because at this rate I can’t imagine a good explanation for her actions and she needs to clear things up. I’m sorry you had to go through this experience and hope you’re doing well!
You're probably never going to see Adam on NRB ever again, they're a private company and they can decide to hire or fire whoever they want. But I could definitely see something like Adam coming back and doing something else. Like you don't really see Tom on NRB content outside the Blood on the Clocktower live shows and that DND campaign, but you can definitely tell it's like he's only there for side gig they're paying him as an actor he's not a main crew member. Like I know Brook went back to America that's why she's not on the show anymore, but no idea why Blaire isn't in the shows anymore.
@@skyblazeeterno the blood on the Clocktower stuff was all filmed months ago. She was in the final episode but I think that stuff was filmed in January or February over a week. I was actually kinda surprised the Experimental characters were planned that long in advance. I don't think Blaire has any particular involvement in this drama clusterfuck and maybe in her personal life she just got married or got promoted or is touring with some orchestra on the continent and can't show up to the studio while she's in Switzerland or whatever..
All the respects for making this video. I’m sure it would have been easy to stay silent and not risk getting involved in any drama but I’m glad you have the courage to stand up for a friend
I was always scared you were one of the people in all this that X alluded to about Adam's predatory behavior, and that is why you haven't been on the channel a lot because I haven't seen you on the WT/NRB/PFK videos since the Mandy Rose controversy and you gave your insight into it because of your platform on OF! I was wondering what was going, I believed in Adam this whole time, I've heard patreon content that always stuck with me about Adam that mentioned he expressed deep regret and works every day to get better! Thanks so much Z!
All of this tracks with what we know to be true. So now we have a third party witness confirming that Carly lies to damage people's careers and uses vagueness to let people assume the worst.
Really appreciate this, had to unfollow a few people I respected on Twitter cuz they’re actively enjoying spreading misinformation on the whole situation for laughs for super insecure and jealous people. Thank you for speaking up
As a long time Adam fan, something that I've professed at length on other videos that have discussed this topic over the last year, I am very happy in general to hear these stories this week. And being honest, what made me happy was to hear them at all. Even if the suggestions made by X's comments were true, which of course would have been sad, we finally got that something, anything, from Adam finding out exactly what went down. Fortunately, to hear this story from Adam and from you, Hobby, gives me a pang of hope that this story will ultimately reach a happy ending. Thank you for sharing it, and I hope that we get to see Adam again soon when this is all done.
Obviously in situations like this the last thing you can do is immediately dismiss the accusations or victim shame. That being said, it really seems like there's some serious mental health issues with 'X' that she needs to sort out, but taking away someone's career crosses a line. I was really upset at Adam slipping back into his predatory ways when the story broke, now I'm just mad that he had his livelihood taken away because of a consensual affair. Thank you so much for this, you're awesome!!!
It's a very difficult decision to speak out like this, kudos to you for handling it with care and professionalism. Hopefully you can get back to making the content that brings you joy very soon!
I am so relieved to hear Adam isn't a "Predator" but very sad to hear this entire situation.. At this point he needs to just make his own channel. Feature hopefully on nrb an wrestletalk again
This all makes sense now. As much as I loved X in BoTC, it's interesting to see how her manipulative gameplay was so good because that may be mimicking her real life antics. I always felt she had a side to her that was unstable. I am secretly hoping Adam decided to come out so he can reclaim his role on NRB. You can look at the views and see how his absence affected the channel. I respect what you did here Angela. You come off very genuine and believable.
Unfortunately comments on Adams video are disabled. Please pass him our support and best wishes. I started watching NRB videos because of Adam's personality. Now without him it doesn't feel right. Would be glad to see him playing boardgames again, maybe in his own show. I guess the old room in Board games cafe is vacant now :-)
thank you for speaking out, and for boosting this topic; we have been left in the dark and having 2 stories that corroborate each other really clear things up
*THANK YOU* I knew something was wrong regarding the whole incident and that there were a lot of missing pieces, so thanks to both you and Adam for clearing the air. I really hope you both go back to NRB, and honestly that Adam just comes back to make content in general. The nerd world needs his wackiness.
Even if nothing else comes from your time with NRB and WrestleTalk, I just wanted to say the videos you made with them really helped during the pandemic. I hope you and your partner are well and thank you!
Thank you for coming out and addressing this head on when he didn’t even have to. As a fan of Adams, I really hate to see what has been done to his career by these false allegations. Thank you for being forthcoming in your side of the story and adding clarification.
It sounds like X is crazy from both videos but honestly Adam has a history so I took his video worth of grain of salt, but your statement I fully buy into, thank you for taking the time to attempt to set the record straight
I certainly miss you on NRB, especially on "Blood on the Clocktower". I loved your no, nonsense game play & dry humor which was a nice compliment to the usual banter. I look forward to your return. Don't give up the ghost...this is just another bend in the road. Just for the record you were one of my favorites along with Ben, Sully and Dominic.
100% agree. I also LOVED watching Angela on BoTC. Wish she'd do some on this channel, tbh, though I understand that would probably be a lot more work to get going.
I miss Adam very much and the energy he brought to NRB. Frankly that's what got me through a hard period, so thank you for speaking up for him. I hope we can all move on and have you back to NRB because you greatly enriched that channel and I'd hate to see a hateful, disturbed person successfully disrupting something beautiful.
I wanted to hear Adam's side because when everything that happened seven years ago Adam didn't try to hide it he fessed up. He was honest, open, and straight forward with what happened and didn't deny it. I didn't support with what he did but his honesty of what happened instead of hiding like everyone else that had similar claims made against them at the time was much more mature than far more famous people than him and I wished other celebrities had just come forward with honesty like that before. I'm not saying Adam is a saint but I hoped he could make a return and do again.
I am very glad to hear from you and Adam in the past couple of days because I've been a big fan of NRB content for the past couple of years and I was wondering where you had gone and what exactly happened with Adam. If Adam sees this, I want him to know that I support him and I want to see him come back to youtube because NRB is not the same without him. I also didn't know you were such a LEGO Star Wars fan and I know it's just a small thing, but it makes me like you even more and I would love to see you back on NRB as well Angela. I don't know what is the matter with X, she seems to get extremely upset over seemingly little things and I kinda need a statement from her about this, but I doubt we'll get it. Anyway, Adam, Angela, you guys have my full support, I'd love to see both of you back on NRB and until then, I'll subscribe to your channels.
I started watching NRB after you had already stopped appearing as a regular. When I went back and watched old BOTC videos I real enjoyed you and thought “where did this entertaining person go” its great to hear your story and I hope that you and Adam both get the opportunities that have been wrongfully stripped from you
Thanks for posting this, Angela. It's nice to finally get another angle on the situation (or, at least, the people involved in the situation). When I was watching NRB and BotC, I had no idea about Adam's past and didn't know any of the cast members from anything other than NRB, so I was looking at them all with fresh eyes. What I saw on the BotC episodes was a weird chemistry and sexual tension between Adam and X that I always interpreted as either (a) they're dating/hooking up, or (b) she's got a crush on him. Option B was in my head a lot because, even when Adam wasn't paying attention to X in the games, she would always make a beeline straight to him, and the way she looked at him and talked to him had all the obvious signs of a girl crushing on a boy. Even when Adam was talking to other people during games or bits, the percentage of time that X's eyes were glued to him in any given episode was always insane. And I know I'm not the only one who saw that bc I've read tons of comments here and elsewhere from people who picked up the same vibe. Not knowing anything about Adam's past indiscretions or that he had a current partner, I ofc didn't think anything about it except, "Ah, theater kids," while thinking back fondly on my days as a theater kid. All that being said, when the situation happened and Adam "stepped down" from NRB and the other channels, I couldn't say whether or not he was being creepy bts, lying about the openness of his relationship with his partner or any of that, but what I *could* say was that X very obviously was a willing participant who sought him out even when he wasn't paying attention to her. At the very least, she looked pretty strongly to be an affair partner and not someone getting crept on by a creep. So when Adam took all the heat and she got none of it, I already felt weird about it. I mean, if so many viewers and fans knew about Adam's past, then certainly someone hanging out with him IRL -- such as X -- did too. And yet the story that came out was like she was lied to, she was crept on, she was blindsided, etc. which just doesn't make sense. What I was reading from the subtext was "the other woman" suddenly realized that her affair partner only viewed her as an affair partner (or wasn't going to leave his actual partner or something) and decided to go nuclear for revenge. Your story, while it doesn't directly claim any of that, adds credence to the notion that this possible version of events is at least in X's character. At the end of the day, I know we're all guessing to some extent about what actually happened. Only the people involved know for sure. But I'll just say that the vibes we all picked up never really matched the story and accounts like yours of the bts behavior of the people involved only strengthens my opinion that X was more culpable than her vague accusations would have the world believe. And the fact that his former NRB castmates have never cut ties with Adam outside of the show says a lot as well. I'd love to see both you and Adam make a return to NRB (and BotC). Hopefully his statement and yours are the first steps toward making that happen. Based on your description of X's attitude toward content creation, your insta faux-pas (which was def not that big a deal), her out-of-proportion reactions (which smack of narcissism), etc, I don't expect X will be making a statement unless it's to double down on her story (and maybe throw you under the bus in some way to blunt the impact of your statement), and that's unfortunate. I don't read her as someone who takes responsibility for her own actions. But, as you said, it would be nice to move past this and let people get back to having fun with their friends and doing things they love on camera for all of us fans to enjoy. Here's hoping. And good luck! EDIT: I just watched Adam's statement. Assuming he's telling the truth, it seems like my read on X and the incident with Adam may not have been super far off. Instead of an "Oh, no, I'm not going to leave my partner for you" situation that lead to X going nuclear as I had guessed, he describes more of an "Oh, you're not the same person I thought you were when we were mainly talking online and I'm not interested in dating the actual you after all" situation that lead to X going nuclear. So, while I didn't have the details exactly right, my read on the vibes and motives of those involved were decently close for someone completely on the outside. Either way, I'mma be honest: Since the incident happened, I've had my suspicions but I've kept from making any judgment because idk the people IRL, I wasn't there, and you never know. Just because you like somebody's work doesn't mean they're not secretly a creep. But, after Angela's video/statement and Adam's statement, I have to say: I believe him. The fact that, in all the time that has passed since this blew up, X has never followed up with any kind of specifics or opened any official cases (not even with the YT channels involved) about whatever Adam supposedly did, and has just relied on vague statements to tar his reputation and deny him work -- not to mention how that mirrors Angela's experience with X as well -- it really feels like X has a habit of out-of-proportion reactions to feeling slighted (real or imagined) and using vague statements to vindictively damage people's reps and careers, all the while insinuating that she'll bring out more details and evidence without ever following up with the promised details or evidence. Tbh, I knew something stunk with X's story and the smell is only getting stronger as more people begin to talk.
The weird tension between X and Adam was very obvious and her behaviour made me feel very uncomfortable. I never really liked her because she came across as a bit of a narcissist but when she appeared in the studio for the first time I started dreading her appearances on the channel.
I appreciate this video. It really cleared alot up. You guys helped me out through so much. I split from my ex through the pandemic. 14 years. You guys helped me keep sane. All the laughter. I gained some awesome memories. It's a shame that what came across on screen wasn't the reality. It's also a shame something so great had to end. Thank you for this. I can say I was never really a fan of Adam's. Just the way his character was it just didn't sit right. That's not saying he's a bad person or anything. Then once everything came out it was easy for me to dislike him for what I had heard. Now hearing your story I realize I should of just not formed an opinion. As I didn't know what was going on, and also that that opinion was completely wrong.
I'm not blaming anyone because it's not my job to do so. private things should stay private... I just wish all this awful drama didn't happen. I love the current NRB House Rules, but Adam and Sullivan together doing House Rules was peak comedy. Glad to see Adam on this channel at least! And I'm glad Adam's mental health has, as he said, been improving. Hopefully Adam and yourself can get through all of this drama cleanly, and X at least either gives concrete proof of the allegations, or apologizes and drops everything
Love you for this Angela. If Adam can get reinstated into NRB after Linkin Parks reunion this will be one of the most healing years of my life. I myself am going into therapy in two weeks time and hoping for a world where you too are back in some capacity after the two months I'll be mostly offline.
I knew my vibe check was right about her she’s so pick me it’s a joke I’m glad the other side of the story is finally coming out, I hope you and Adam can both move forward with happiness and success
I'm glad that you're able to not only share your side of the story but to make that step into putting this whole situation in the past. Hopefully you guys can get back to doing what you love and continue being awesome!
I love that you have done this, Its very brave and sheds a lot of light of the character of X. I personally never liked X on the channel I can't really explain why but something about her rubbed me the wrong way. Its interesting to those 'feelings' validated a little. Certain things she did and ways she acted in certain videos just put me off. Also never let anyone shame you for doing OF content. Bills must be paid and if you have the tools to be a success at it then do it. Hope to see you and Adam on NRB soon
An individual makes some vague, unsubstatiated, and hatefully slanderous comments on UA-cam, and a person loses their entire career not to mention being branded an internet pariah. It just makes me sad.
Lot of love and good thoughts to you and Adam both! I hope this thing gets settled soon and we can see you both even as guests on NRD! I'm happy to see you guys seem to have made more videos! Off to see them next! XO
I will add my voice to those thanking you for taking the time to release a public statement on this matter, as well as sharing a link to Adam's video. To publicly open up in support of a friend in this situation, one in which their past makes them someone who will be easily vilified and therefore may land you in the fire as well, that says a lot about your character.
I’m so excited to hear about Adam again! I’ve missed him greatly and thought about how he is doing. Thank you Angela for throwing your hat in the ring and helping clear up the situation further. I will echo the comments when I say that I hope you and Adam get to work on NRB again. I will also say that I’ve never liked X either. She gave me bad vibes from the beginning and I can totally see this side of her being more than plausible just from how she played BOTC.
What’s crazy is Carley because she’s not that popular is just censoring her comments and still posting she’ll never address this. Because it seems that based on this pattern where she will make accusations but doesn’t want to directly tell a detailed lie. So addressing it means she will have to make up details it seems at least or ignoring it and hoping months from now people move on.
You are very good at what you do, Angela. I don’t regularly mention UA-cam creators, but you’re one of the few I mention to my friends and gaming/non-gaming colleagues and friends. I’m sorry you had to go through this. You make excellent content and it will be a sad day if you ever retire from UA-cam or any social media. Keep up the good work.
Great video. It’s nice to have some of the ambiguity cleared up. I hope Adam gets back to doing what he loves one way or another, maybe even re-joining NRB in some capacity after this is cleared up. It’s sad to think that part of the reason the man’s career was sabotaged was because X (allegedly) was trying to save face and was weirdly non-confrontational about addressing what her issues with you were exactly. Hope to her side of the story one day, too.
As a long time fan of NRB, I am really saddened by all of this particularly for you and Adam. I share your hopes for a better path forward for everyone who has been affected by this.
I'm glad Adam has you backing him up. Carley sounds fragile and crazy if all it took was an Instagram post where her handle couldn't be seen to be the start of all this. She legitimately cost both you and Adam money, time, work, and more. I hope at the end of this Adam can get back to WrestleTalk/NRB. Neither of you deserved this.
@@skyblazeeterno read the description, she has receipts and Adam claims to do too, they're strategically holding onto them in case she responds and claims they're lying
@@Pandapeep bs - If she has SOLID proof she would name Carly...and isnt it over a year since this all happened? Sorry this bullshit...but believe it if you want
Thanks for sharing your story and the support Adam has surrounding him. It’s truly so sad that X has done this and that we will most likely never see her apologize or take ownership of the damage she’s caused. Chalk it up to youth, insecurity or something deeper but neither you or Adam deserved the repercussions of X’s blatant lies and misdirection
Finally getting an answers for what was an unexpected upheaval is bittersweet. I'm relived to hear that things are in motion on Adam's side, and that there's receipts as a remedy for all of this nonsense. Sadly the gears of the legal system move slowly, but it seems he hasn't lost hope and he's still fighting. I'm eagarly looking forward to the day when the verdict comes down and the guilty party is revealed for all to see. I'm appaled by the unrivaled... Pettiness? Delusion?On display from Carly. From Adam's story they used to be close and then they split seemingly amicably. I get that emotions rule a lot of people and romantic intrigue tends to create volitile emotions, but this is just outright ridiculous. The fictitious allegations against Adam appear to me intentional character assassination to punish his association with you. Her lack of specifics speaks volumes to the reality of the situation: She made them up and she can't go into details because there are none. Intentionally forcing Adam to take legal action to remedy this is pure and simple malice. Her immediate assumptions of leeching without any context or even a communication to simply say, "Hey, I was looking at you post. I was hoping you could put my handle on there so they can find me as well" shows a deeper level of pathalogical disfunction. Thank you for sticking up for Adam and I hope to see you both again where you belong on NRB. I miss you both there dearly. Best wishes for you both.
Thank you for finding the courage to speak out and make this video! I think that "X"'s silence in this whole matter is the most deafening. No acknowledgement and turning off comments on posts seems a bit suspicious. I do hope we get a response from her that is truthful and apologetic. I doubt it, but we can hope.
Man this really makes me happy. Adam is and always has been my favorite UA-cam personality when it comes to wrestling. Adam, Pete and Dan all left WT...and it's hard to watch but the passion Adam had when he does his fantasy bookings....it dorsnt get any better. Thank you for stepping in and putting thr truth down. Hopefully he csn go back to doing something he loves
Honestly the fact that Only Fans allowed you to make content creation your full time job is amazing. I hope you keep enjoying what you do, and sorry that you got dragged into this situation. Thank you for making a statement so soon, I know the community appreciates you being so open even though you had no obligation.
This was very important especially since Adam has been trying to better himself despite this situation sounding like a toxic relationship he tried to get out of where as X tried to take him down. I’m also hoping that this’ll get better for all parties and everyone gets to continue to do what they love
Gnarly Carley isn't a good person and unfortunately she cost us seeing a lot of great content in 2023-present with Adam and yourself being absent from NBR content.
Angela thanks for making this video. Not that you need validation from me or anyone, but you are a bad-ass for talking about your side of the story. I have such fond memories of you hanging out on the NRB discord. You are one of the best ambassadors of this community. As you told your side of the story I started to feel like X's issue was going to be your Only Fans content before you posited that. Again you are a bad-ass and don't need my validation, but for whatever my opinion is worth all of your content has always been wonderful and beam with your passion for the things you love and your desire to share. I think your Only Fans content is no different. It's sex positive and celebrates intimacy instead of making people feel ashamed of it. Anyway TL:DR you are awesome. THank you for being awesome and sharing your passions with us
Hope Adam is doing well and I hope he knows his reputation isn't in any way ruined as he suggested in his video. Those who didn't like him before still don't but the majority if us hope he's ok and would love to see him back one day.
I'm new to you and your channel. I've watched NRB for 3~4 years and was a fan of Adam's "energy". I feel that this "event" targeting him was unfair to him and unwarranted. Thank you for this I followed the link you provided first and appreciate this being provided. Whomever "X" is; They have been uncivilized, uncultured, childish and completely disrespectful of others in these matters. By keeping her name out, it show great professionalism from you and Adam, although with this blatant behavior, I feel she doesn't deserve anonymity and needs to be publicly accountable for such "aggressive" assaults, but with the case of Adam, I understand why it hasn't happened. Maybe in the future the whole thing can be shared and we can all move on with the appropriate measures having been taken...
Other comments suggest its Carly, which would fit with the appearance and disappearance. This answer might be deleted later, just wanted to give you that hint
Thank you for this video. I miss Adam. The channels have not been the same without him. Also, I was so excited the first time I saw you on an NRB video and wondered why there weren't more. Now we know.
@@ministryofungentlemanlywarfareThe editing might have improved but he was no doubt the one to kickstart that, all those changes were happening as he left.
Hello everyone, and thank you for your responses to the video. I'm pinning this comment to cover any FAQ or important things that come up.
- A shot statement about a minority of comments and what I've see on Twitter:
Antisemitism is terrible, as long as I own this channel it is not allowed here, and I would ask that everyone leave ethnicity out of this. ( I have seen the discussions on X and it is not relevant. )
- Why did Adam consider racism as a reason for X demanding to not working with me?
When X never gave Adam a reason for demanding we never again work together, he had to draw his own conclusions about what may have happened. Antisemitism is arguably the worst insult that he considered possible, and he added it to his personal apology to me about what happened.
- Why did I not speak publicly about this when X made accusations originally?
- Because Adam reached out to me quickly in 2023 and asked me to provide my written statement and not speak about it further as whatever was going on behind the scenes legally and within the company happened.
Why did the business not step in?
- While I did reach out to a member of their staff the day that the Instagram Incident (so dramatic) occurred, it was NOT a member of management. And that is potentially an error on my part for not going 'higher' in an effort to cause less drama, at the time.
- Is this video monetized?
- This video is set to NOT monetized by UA-cam because of the nature of the content and situation.
Only fans link?
@joshmc3667 not the time. Not the place.
Everyone talking about the identities of "X" and "Z" and I'm just over here wondering if the person from WrestleTalk that you got ahold of on Discord is known to do a flip.....or for having a Happy Birthday more than once a year
I appreciate the added context, because only having “X’s” vague but extremely inflammatory statements for so long has been unnerving. I typically don’t care about influencers/creators personal lives unless they’re actively hurting someone and that’s very much how “X” made it seem. I try to always believe victims when they come out with allegations and I don’t need any graphic details because it’s not my place, yet past experience with Adam doing genuinely messed up things in private and owning up to it, taking time off to seek therapy and seemingly doing better, made his denial seem legitimate too. I’ve basically been in this weird limbo state in relation to both of them and trying not to make any assumptions either way until more context was given. I’m sorry you had to go through this confusing and frustrating situation.
"Antisemitism is terrible"... So are you one of the "bright" individuals that think criticism equals "antisemitism"?
It would make me very happy to see both you and Adam on NRB again in the future
Or working together!
Do a return Wrestling style. Gotta go for the pop from the crowd.
Remember the 2nd season of no rolls barred when kid flips died and then Sullivan joined the cast?
DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!!!
@@joshpierce-gi5zt I hope that too, NBR doesn't feel the same with the people who haven't featured because of that insane clown of a woman.
I still support NRB on Patreon but it’s much less “must see” without Adam.
@@joshpierce-gi5zt oh that would be just absolutely grand
Total respect for saying this Angela. This was a brave move for sure. You have my support. I am going to go watch Adams video as well just to get his side of the story.
I hadn't even seen Adam's statement pop up until this video appeared in my feed, so thank you for raising awareness, especially for people who don't peruse the subreddit much, as well as for speaking up and being one of the few willing to speak openly on the matter. This situation has been scuffed since the beginning, and I just hope that people are doing all right. I had assumed your disappearance was based on the shift of focus to more in person episodes. It's disappointing that it was something so strange and off-hand. You were always a fun addition to the cast, and brought a good energy to the table, even when the table was virtual.
I just can't fathom someone being that upset over an instagram post, especially when the entire purpose of the post was to celebrate a meeting. You sharing the picture was sharing the interaction and proclaiming to the world "check this out". To try to say that you were trying to hide her account or stop people from finding it is so ridiculous to me.
Which makes me think that the issue may have been more the OnlyFans content, because I can see some people taking some sort of moral stance against such content. But it also seems odd to take such an objection against it, but without making it known, and then to be so against it that they straight up refuse to work with someone engaged in it. It's like...damn, if you have an issue with something, learn to communicate. And also learn to let people do their own thing when it doesn't affect you in any way.
All I hope is that the people involved with this will be able to recover and move on. Adam did something shitty, but he did that to his partner and not any of the viewers and it's not my place to punish or absolve him for things he did in his personal life. And any negative effects from his decisions should be in his personal life. I think NRB has done well without him, because Laurie stepped up as host, but I would love to see Adam return, even as a guest while he builds himself back up. But I could also understand why he wouldn't want to expose himself to that potential for negativity.
Obviously I'd also love to see you return to the NRB tables, but they've fully shifted to in-person at this point, which makes that seem unfeasible. But I always enjoyed your appearances, and continue to do so when I watch older episodes. I don't know why I wrote this much. I just like NRB and it's sad to see so much vitriol and confusion for a situation that most of us know so little about. But now we know a little bit more, thanks to you.
Adam has repeatedly sexually harassed guests. he has admitted to it in the past.
he didn't just do shitty things to his partner.
I still watch NRB, but I do miss Adam. I hope he does get to come out the other side of this without too much trauma. It really is a shame that something like this can cause so much hurt and misunderstanding. Thanks for sharing your side!
I am so sorry that this happened to you and your partner. I wish you both the Very Best moving forward and that you have more business opportunities down the line road. You handled this situation like a true professional. Your are extremely articulate individual, but most importantly your handled this like an adult.
Thank you so much for making a public statement on this. There's so much misinformation out there, and I fluctuate between anger and frustration over it.
It's been and gone. This is like commenting on the sinking of the Titanic. Would have made sense this was said a long time ago. Nrb has moved on and for the better

No it isn’t. Everyone involved in this are fucking cretins. A tale of nasty bitches. Whores, cucks and creeps!
It's crazy how genuine well-thought out responses like this are getting ignored, but people are still dragging Adam on Twitter cause it's funny. The man is innocent. Let him recover in peace now thanks
aftr watching adams vid, it really is a sad situation
I've seen disgusting comments on Facebook (from people who clearly haven't followed any of anybody's statements) calling him a pdf file and saying he committed SA. Both of which are obviously not true.
What's worse is most people won't even watch the video, just judging based on past (which, if they were only caring about the past time, that's their choice, but using this false accusation to hammer him is bs)
Well, he's not "innocent", he did cheat AGAIN but X's accusations against him are definitely false.
I mean, he's not totally innocent, though.. evidently, his moral compass is askew, but his actions really shouldn't be anyone's business except those who it actually effects, like himself, his partner(s) and 'X'.
We still have only heard of 2/3 stories, so I wish everyone would just relax until we hear all sides. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.
Thank you for putting this statement out, Angela. Stepping up to defend someone caught in the internet's crosshairs can be extremely difficult and stressful, but it is undoubtably the right thing to do.
Thanks for making this statement. It’s so sad that this thing escalated the way it did. Adam isn’t perfect, but he doesn’t deserve the treatment he’s received for the last year. I really hope to see him, and you, back in NRB content soon. ❤
I’m so sorry this happened to you. I absolutely respect & completely support both you & your partner. You’ve handled this very professionally. You were very respectful to all involved & very articulate. Thank you for the vid & your side. Wish you nothing but the best going forward. 💜💜
It sucks you had to go through this but thank you for standing up for your friend.
He did not deserve what he has gone through over the last year, nor did you deserve to be made to feel uncomfortable no matter what the reason was.
Haven't finished the video yet, but since Adam's video has comments disabled, I just wanted to voice my support here. I knew something about this seemed fishy from the start of the accusations. Adam and "X" were overtly flirtatious on camera, more than once, so it felt like there were details being left out from the beginning. Thank you for speaking about this, Angela, and tell Adam to keep his head up, there are people out there that believe in his ability to change and were happy to see the WT team give him a second chance. I know it's foolish to wish for his return, but his initial return meant so much to me that I personally hope he does. Adam Blampied is the reason i started watching youtube regularly.
Another thing that caught my attention was I forget if it was him, or WrestleTalk, but it was stated Adam was seeking legal council for next steps, which was a far cry from his previous allegations. Guilty men don't typically get the law involved.
@@RasenKamehamehaX100 if nothing else, it shows that he's learned and grown from the way he responded to the situation years ago.

Happy to hear your side of this. The vague allegations against Adam never sat right with me and I knew that the second this happened, the court of public opinion wouldn't need evidence or even a solid explanation of what he apparently did. Seeing people joking about the situation or just assuming that Adam is a repeat offender because that's the easiest answer that requires 0 context of the actual situation at large. I really hope Adam is able to return someday or at the very least, have his name cleared.
The worst part is the original thing he did while douchie was never that bad. Douchie for sure, but the vagueness of these allegations made it seem so much worse and people juxt believed it.
The thing is, it won't matter if Adam is cleared. People will think he's guilty no matter what.
@@arhythema150 I don't. I like him and miss him on NRB. He was very witty.
@@destination-yesterday neat, but because of how opinion is believed over fact, he will not be seen on NRB or WrestleTalk ever again, even if he's proven innocent. Perception is everything nowadays, and these companies understandibly have to protect themselves.
Would be really pathetic if Carley was mainly upset about "adult content" considering she (Carley) always shows cleavage in 99% of her thumbnails
This is why I always liked you being on NRB videos because you're just genuine and real. 'X' always to me came across as needing to be the centre of every NRB video she was apart of. Laurie and the guys/girls have done a great job with NRB since Adam left but I do miss Adam being apart of the channel. You could tell how much fun he was having playing Board Games with his friends.
I hope to see you on NRB again and I hope that the person on question can humble her ego enough to come out and apologise or atleast give the whole truth rather than leaving people to rot.
This, she was not my favorite and kind of seemed wayyy too into the cameras. It’s wild to me that we all were led to believe some messed up shiz.
I actually really liked X and thought she had amazing chemistry with Adam so it was really shocking when these accusations came out. I do love how NRB rolled with things and how everyone stepped up. Dom went from being a lovable side character to a very prominent role. And Laurie finally got a taste of what it’s like to have everyone gang up on him. Like Laurie won so much because everyone would gang up on Adam while Laurie silently racked up points. I do want to see Adam come back at least for a one shot here and there.
@@kashtrey i liked her at first too but if you go back and watch some of the eps shes in she is abit fake and over the top sometimes. And in the BOTC games shes in she always made it about her whether she was on good team or evil.
Reason id like to see Adam back is because he was having fun and it showed on screen. If someone your watching is enjoying a game and having fun and a laugh it makes it so much more enjoyable to watch.
PS - Dom is probably my fav out the whole group hes so funny.
Someone else i miss on there is Issacc.

Hey Angela, it really sucks that you've been dragged into this mess like this. I hope this situation resolves with the truth prevailing and holding 'x' accountable.
Thank you for taking the time to release this. Have always been a big fan of Adam and I’m glad he’s got this support from you.
Thank you for sharing. When the allegations came out I assumed they were solid, given Adam's past issues and not having any knowledge of Carley lying about such serious things. That you and him are both speaking out and claiming to have receipts means a lot however, and I'm more than happy to accept that I assumed wrongly. Adam is very lucky that he has someone willing to stick their neck out and advocate for him, so thank you for being brave. I really hope Adam and you can both feature in NRB content together in the future.
I haven't seen Adam's statement (only having just now seen Angela's), but like you I had assumed his absence meant he did something "wrong" and thus deserved to be gone. To think that Carley would be the one behind this pettiness makes a lot of sense... her personality comes off like a partner I lived with for several years. Classic narcissism. I hate that I felt good about "justice being served" now, if that's indeed incorrect, but I've swallowed my pride many a times before. He's not my favorite but he doesn't deserve to be thrown under the bus either.
I really appreciate this vulnerable, measured, and humble response - it really helps shine further light on this whole debacle. I hope you, Adam, and X all come to some sort of resolution, re: the situation, hopefully beyond more than just... letting things silently exist in the past and closing the door on it. I personally really enjoyed the NRB content you took part in, and I hope in the future the opportunities that likely were closed off from you (or at least, were negatively impacted) by the situation are, in some ways, opened again.
Power to you for pursuing something you find joyous, even as others might seem to carry disdain for your passion. I hope you thrive beyond your wildest imaginings.
Thank you so much for making this statement. I have a huge amount of respect for how you've addressed this and even now you're being incredibly generous towards X. I'm so sorry you were put into such a terrible position and lost out on opportunities over something so petty.
Regardless of whether X was upset over the Instagram thing or if the 'values' she spoke about related to your OF, this tells me a lot about who she is and it doesn't paint the best impression. I hope everyone affected by this situation can move on, and that the destruction to so many lives caused by one person can be repaired.

Anyways, Ken included a Townsfolk character named "The Angela" with a Warhammer icon as the character's symbol. Y'know, the Warhammer logo? Her ability was nuts: "Each night pick an Evil character (a Demon once), you learn it is one of two players". Very strong.
@@Zilong09 oh wow, that makes sense, what is his youtube?
@@justinehercthehuman No on NRB's patreon
@@justinehercthehuman it was on patreon exclusive content
I always thought the allegations against Adam were Bogus but knowing this "X" caused pain for even more people is horrifying.
but normal people do not get in to this kind of stuff and it is not the first time for adam either he just need to get of youtube for ever and live his life
@@johansvensson833 From what I can tell (and it is entirely possible I am wrong of course) Adam has made great efforts to overcome who he was before. He's not perfect, but perfection isn't something we can demand 100% of the time. He shouldn't have to give up something he built up for so long over accusations that seem to have been made up to cause damage to both of these people. If there is more to the story I am willing to reconsider my stance, but so far everything seems to point a certain way and both Adam and Angela shouldn't be punished for that.
@@johansvensson833……..say what. Normal people, or just reclusive introverts?
This was an adult situation that should have been handled by adults in an adult manner, and instead was handled like a bunch of fucking high schoolers on Twitter.
@@Wyrsa By those actually involved it was handled like adults...except for "X", of course.
Thank you for being upfront with this Angela. As far as I know you've always been a real one!
I hope more people follow in defence of Adam. He's a human, he's made mistakes but he does not deserve to be blacklisted from doing what he loves for that.
If someone is to investigate they will find my comments under NRB videos about the sexual tension between X and Adama and how I thought they are a couple and when things went south I expressed how shocked I am etc. I can't believe for once in my life I had the right read on the situation.
Hopefully Adam clears his name and comes back. He's an entertaining person and I enjoy his content.
P.S. I absolutely believe his side of the story. Sorry butehe didn't even face an actual accusation this time, people just cancelled him because of his past and because of the person accusing him of something bad... The whole situation was gnarly.
I was 100% convinced they were a couple before everything went down. I remember they had a pair of matching sweaters in a video, and they were insanely flirty on the last in person botc they did together (with most of the flirting coming for her, actually).
I haven't watched Adam's video, but the way carley acted by then was super sus, so I'm ready to hear his side of the story.
@@sofiipote7 Right!? They had more than a few videos with a lot of innuendo between them. One of the versions that came to my head when the accusations came out was that this was Adam acting unprofessional and being a predator but quickly I came to the conclusion that this was very clearly mutual and coming from her even more. Everything was Sus since day one.
I recommend you hearing Adam's side. Look it up it will come in a search about him and "why I left". He paints a very believable version on what happened. He expresses he's ready to provide proof of what he's saying via text messages if his version is challenged. I just fear his very reasonable and very humane approach to his defense might cost him as the social court doesn't take into account legality, consideration about affecting others and reasonable approach. Him having his past is also ammunition that will always be used against him. I hope he clears his name successfully. Seems like a decent lad who's made mistakes and is trying to better himself which is relatable for a human being and I do enjoy him as an entertainer.
@@Galloglaochthat last word of your original comment might be the saddest instance of "I understood that reference" I have ever uttered🤣😞
No, but seriously. I actually paused the video just scroll the first couple of bits of the comments section and I'm seeing your thread and I'm remembering my own "Holy 💩 are they....." thoughts of Adam and X before the accusations even came down. If I remember rightly I even commented on one of the games, cuz there was a run of two or three that gave me that vibe, including the one referenced in the top thread... "You MUST STOP"
@@Galloglaoch only your opinion
@@Galloglaoch I've watched his video and I fully agree with you. He admits he made mistakes, but he just seems like a normal person who makes mistakes. Carley DOES NOT. These stories paint her as very manipulative and vindictive. I have to be honest, I always sorta disliked her, and when her accusations came out, like never before, I had my doubts (not because of my personal dislike, but mostly because of what we discussed of her videos with Adam).
Having heard Angela's and Adam's sides, it all makes sense now, unfortunately
I'm not gonna lie it's been hard to watch without Adam. He made it so much fun watching him. No offense to anyone else involved
I'm in the same boat. I'm still there, but most videos I don't even watch till the end anymore : /
House rolls isn't the same without the sully and Adam dynamic ....luckily we have crazy Dom to fill the gap.
I'm so happy that you made this video. After watching Adam's video, I went and saw the reactions of many on X/Twitter. The majority rejected Adam out of hand. Many didn't even watch the video. Many were saying they didn't want to hear him out and still believed him to be this terrible person. I'm hoping that this video will change their minds about Adam. Whatever people may think about his personal life, which really is none of our business, he should be able to work doing the things he loves. Many of us are rooting for Adam and hope he comes back to NRB and Wrestletalk soon!
Way too many people nowadays believe in a one strike and you're out policy.
Interestingly, this often comes from self proclaimed tolerant and accepting folks....
The internet lynch mob can be set off by merely hinting at someone’s transgression. The vaguest allegations can now ruin lives - all that need be done is casually reference “predatory behavior.” The internet mob will fill in the rest with whatever horrible crimes they imagine.
This is the first I’m learning of any of this, because the other folks involved aren’t people I follow on UA-cam. But it brings to mind another horrific situation in which someone’s life and career were shattered by flimsy allegations that were believed and amplified by internet goons eager to believe the worst about someone. In that case, Ed Piskor was driven to end his life. Hopefully, Adam has supportive friends and family around him that will see him through this.
If he is innocent then he deserves the chance to come back, I do miss Adam on NRB, him and sully were great to watch together. I would love to see him back
I wouldn't take X seriously. Half the people on there won't even be fans, and are just trying to be morally virtuous in a severely misguided way. The rest are just mentally fudged up or trolling.
Oft. The second hand social anxiety from that meet up story is intense. 😅
Also good on you for what you said at the end. Often its hard to say honestly when we support a friend when these kind of things come up but you said it clearly and thats important and brave.
Let’s get you back on no rolls barred. Let’s get Adam back on no rolls barred. Let’s get Adam back on Wrestletalk. And let’s get you both on Quizzlemania!
Both of you making such brave statements after going through character defamation means you both deserve to be making great content for us to watch
I mean it really isn't character defamation at this point. I liken it to character assassination, she has taken everything Adam loved and made it impossible for him to move forward. Even if he wins any kind of case, it is unlikely that he will ever return to NRB even though they sorry need him in their videos (just my personal opinion).
As much as I would love to see Adam back on Wrestletalk, I feel like after the insane amount of work he put in and how little they backed him, I feel like they don't deserve him. I feel Adam is a big enough name to front his own channel and I would definitely support him.
@@garethsaunders8801 They either couldn't support him with those types of allegations or he voluntarily left so Wrestletalk and NRB wouldn't get blowback.
@@mezzaros5534 it's most likely a mixture of both as adam and nrb both said adam left of his own accord to protect both the company and cast and seeing as in adams statement video he still refered to the nrb/wrestle talk people as his friends they seem to be on good therms and I hope this video and adams video will eventually lead to a return for both cause both are awesome people imo
With Dan going to drama school, Pete leaving on his own endeavours, Adam coming back would be great
Poor Adam. Good on you for making this video and hopefully moving the ball in a healthy direction. Hope to see you and Adam back at it.
I can't take anyone else doing wrestling video commentary lol.
I loved you in old BOTC episodes and had no idea you even had your own channel???! You have a new subscriber here on all platforms 😊
Welcome aboard!
Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful explanation of your experiences, Angela. I do hope X comes out with her side of the story and/or an apology, because at this rate I can’t imagine a good explanation for her actions and she needs to clear things up. I’m sorry you had to go through this experience and hope you’re doing well!
Thank you for making this statement. I hope things will get better for the both of you and I hope both you and Adam can be a part of NRB again
Thank you for speaking out. I very much hope we see more of you and Adam in the future on NRB.
@@Anastriel such timely speaking out 😂
You're probably never going to see Adam on NRB ever again, they're a private company and they can decide to hire or fire whoever they want.
But I could definitely see something like Adam coming back and doing something else. Like you don't really see Tom on NRB content outside the Blood on the Clocktower live shows and that DND campaign, but you can definitely tell it's like he's only there for side gig they're paying him as an actor he's not a main crew member.
Like I know Brook went back to America that's why she's not on the show anymore, but no idea why Blaire isn't in the shows anymore.
@@charlesacker9174 I recall Blair being in a recent video
@charlesacker9174 yeah I miss Blaire and Tom
@@skyblazeeterno the blood on the Clocktower stuff was all filmed months ago. She was in the final episode but I think that stuff was filmed in January or February over a week.
I was actually kinda surprised the Experimental characters were planned that long in advance.
I don't think Blaire has any particular involvement in this drama clusterfuck and maybe in her personal life she just got married or got promoted or is touring with some orchestra on the continent and can't show up to the studio while she's in Switzerland or whatever..
All the respects for making this video. I’m sure it would have been easy to stay silent and not risk getting involved in any drama but I’m glad you have the courage to stand up for a friend
I was always scared you were one of the people in all this that X alluded to about Adam's predatory behavior, and that is why you haven't been on the channel a lot because I haven't seen you on the WT/NRB/PFK videos since the Mandy Rose controversy and you gave your insight into it because of your platform on OF! I was wondering what was going, I believed in Adam this whole time, I've heard patreon content that always stuck with me about Adam that mentioned he expressed deep regret and works every day to get better! Thanks so much Z!
All of this tracks with what we know to be true.
So now we have a third party witness confirming that Carly lies to damage people's careers and uses vagueness to let people assume the worst.
Think I need to go and thumbs up everyone that uses voldemorts name... :D
Carly is literally amber heard in this situation.
@@Christiantheforestdweller Don't let her near your bed.
she gives me major narcissistic vibes and this isn’t some armchair psychologist thing, i have NPD traits and i see a lot of my old behaviour in Carlie
Really appreciate this, had to unfollow a few people I respected on Twitter cuz they’re actively enjoying spreading misinformation on the whole situation for laughs for super insecure and jealous people. Thank you for speaking up
As a long time Adam fan, something that I've professed at length on other videos that have discussed this topic over the last year, I am very happy in general to hear these stories this week. And being honest, what made me happy was to hear them at all. Even if the suggestions made by X's comments were true, which of course would have been sad, we finally got that something, anything, from Adam finding out exactly what went down.
Fortunately, to hear this story from Adam and from you, Hobby, gives me a pang of hope that this story will ultimately reach a happy ending. Thank you for sharing it, and I hope that we get to see Adam again soon when this is all done.
Obviously in situations like this the last thing you can do is immediately dismiss the accusations or victim shame. That being said, it really seems like there's some serious mental health issues with 'X' that she needs to sort out, but taking away someone's career crosses a line. I was really upset at Adam slipping back into his predatory ways when the story broke, now I'm just mad that he had his livelihood taken away because of a consensual affair. Thank you so much for this, you're awesome!!!
Congratulations on taking this step, very clear statement and I’m so sorry you lost out on these opportunities over the last year
It's a very difficult decision to speak out like this, kudos to you for handling it with care and professionalism. Hopefully you can get back to making the content that brings you joy very soon!
I am so relieved to hear Adam isn't a "Predator" but very sad to hear this entire situation.. At this point he needs to just make his own channel. Feature hopefully on nrb an wrestletalk again
This all makes sense now. As much as I loved X in BoTC, it's interesting to see how her manipulative gameplay was so good because that may be mimicking her real life antics. I always felt she had a side to her that was unstable.
I am secretly hoping Adam decided to come out so he can reclaim his role on NRB. You can look at the views and see how his absence affected the channel.
I respect what you did here Angela. You come off very genuine and believable.
Unfortunately comments on Adams video are disabled.
Please pass him our support and best wishes.
I started watching NRB videos because of Adam's personality. Now without him it doesn't feel right.
Would be glad to see him playing boardgames again, maybe in his own show.
I guess the old room in Board games cafe is vacant now :-)
for sure. I like Laurie but as the angry gremlin, not as the lead of the show
Same. When he left I stopped watching wrestle talk and NRB shortly after. It's just not the same.
thank you for speaking out, and for boosting this topic; we have been left in the dark and having 2 stories that corroborate each other really clear things up
*THANK YOU*
I knew something was wrong regarding the whole incident and that there were a lot of missing pieces, so thanks to both you and Adam for clearing the air. I really hope you both go back to NRB, and honestly that Adam just comes back to make content in general. The nerd world needs his wackiness.
Even if nothing else comes from your time with NRB and WrestleTalk, I just wanted to say the videos you made with them really helped during the pandemic. I hope you and your partner are well and thank you!
You mean the cuck guy?
Thank you for coming out and addressing this head on when he didn’t even have to. As a fan of Adams, I really hate to see what has been done to his career by these false allegations. Thank you for being forthcoming in your side of the story and adding clarification.
It sounds like X is crazy from both videos but honestly Adam has a history so I took his video worth of grain of salt, but your statement I fully buy into, thank you for taking the time to attempt to set the record straight
I certainly miss you on NRB, especially on "Blood on the Clocktower". I loved your no, nonsense game play & dry humor which was a nice compliment to the usual banter. I look forward to your return. Don't give up the ghost...this is just another bend in the road. Just for the record you were one of my favorites along with Ben, Sully and Dominic.
100% agree. I also LOVED watching Angela on BoTC. Wish she'd do some on this channel, tbh, though I understand that would probably be a lot more work to get going.
I miss Adam very much and the energy he brought to NRB. Frankly that's what got me through a hard period, so thank you for speaking up for him. I hope we can all move on and have you back to NRB because you greatly enriched that channel and I'd hate to see a hateful, disturbed person successfully disrupting something beautiful.
I wanted to hear Adam's side because when everything that happened seven years ago Adam didn't try to hide it he fessed up. He was honest, open, and straight forward with what happened and didn't deny it. I didn't support with what he did but his honesty of what happened instead of hiding like everyone else that had similar claims made against them at the time was much more mature than far more famous people than him and I wished other celebrities had just come forward with honesty like that before. I'm not saying Adam is a saint but I hoped he could make a return and do again.
I am very glad to hear from you and Adam in the past couple of days because I've been a big fan of NRB content for the past couple of years and I was wondering where you had gone and what exactly happened with Adam.
If Adam sees this, I want him to know that I support him and I want to see him come back to youtube because NRB is not the same without him.
I also didn't know you were such a LEGO Star Wars fan and I know it's just a small thing, but it makes me like you even more and I would love to see you back on NRB as well Angela.
I don't know what is the matter with X, she seems to get extremely upset over seemingly little things and I kinda need a statement from her about this, but I doubt we'll get it.
Anyway, Adam, Angela, you guys have my full support, I'd love to see both of you back on NRB and until then, I'll subscribe to your channels.
what is going on? I mean i wondered where Adam had been lately but i dont really follow twitter stuff so idk what the drama is ? im very confused
Please watch Adam's video, linked in the description, for more details
It’s time to bring Blampied back to the internet again.
The whole situation seems so unnecessary and hurtful. Just wanted to say that I appreciate that you took the time to put this out there.
Yo, that is crazy. I'm sorry this has happened to you.
I started watching NRB after you had already stopped appearing as a regular. When I went back and watched old BOTC videos I real enjoyed you and thought “where did this entertaining person go” its great to hear your story and I hope that you and Adam both get the opportunities that have been wrongfully stripped from you
I hope to see you and Adam back in videos together in the future. To see two people making content they’re passionate about makes me happy
Thanks for posting this, Angela. It's nice to finally get another angle on the situation (or, at least, the people involved in the situation). When I was watching NRB and BotC, I had no idea about Adam's past and didn't know any of the cast members from anything other than NRB, so I was looking at them all with fresh eyes. What I saw on the BotC episodes was a weird chemistry and sexual tension between Adam and X that I always interpreted as either (a) they're dating/hooking up, or (b) she's got a crush on him. Option B was in my head a lot because, even when Adam wasn't paying attention to X in the games, she would always make a beeline straight to him, and the way she looked at him and talked to him had all the obvious signs of a girl crushing on a boy. Even when Adam was talking to other people during games or bits, the percentage of time that X's eyes were glued to him in any given episode was always insane. And I know I'm not the only one who saw that bc I've read tons of comments here and elsewhere from people who picked up the same vibe. Not knowing anything about Adam's past indiscretions or that he had a current partner, I ofc didn't think anything about it except, "Ah, theater kids," while thinking back fondly on my days as a theater kid.
All that being said, when the situation happened and Adam "stepped down" from NRB and the other channels, I couldn't say whether or not he was being creepy bts, lying about the openness of his relationship with his partner or any of that, but what I *could* say was that X very obviously was a willing participant who sought him out even when he wasn't paying attention to her. At the very least, she looked pretty strongly to be an affair partner and not someone getting crept on by a creep. So when Adam took all the heat and she got none of it, I already felt weird about it. I mean, if so many viewers and fans knew about Adam's past, then certainly someone hanging out with him IRL -- such as X -- did too. And yet the story that came out was like she was lied to, she was crept on, she was blindsided, etc. which just doesn't make sense. What I was reading from the subtext was "the other woman" suddenly realized that her affair partner only viewed her as an affair partner (or wasn't going to leave his actual partner or something) and decided to go nuclear for revenge. Your story, while it doesn't directly claim any of that, adds credence to the notion that this possible version of events is at least in X's character.
At the end of the day, I know we're all guessing to some extent about what actually happened. Only the people involved know for sure. But I'll just say that the vibes we all picked up never really matched the story and accounts like yours of the bts behavior of the people involved only strengthens my opinion that X was more culpable than her vague accusations would have the world believe. And the fact that his former NRB castmates have never cut ties with Adam outside of the show says a lot as well.
I'd love to see both you and Adam make a return to NRB (and BotC). Hopefully his statement and yours are the first steps toward making that happen. Based on your description of X's attitude toward content creation, your insta faux-pas (which was def not that big a deal), her out-of-proportion reactions (which smack of narcissism), etc, I don't expect X will be making a statement unless it's to double down on her story (and maybe throw you under the bus in some way to blunt the impact of your statement), and that's unfortunate. I don't read her as someone who takes responsibility for her own actions. But, as you said, it would be nice to move past this and let people get back to having fun with their friends and doing things they love on camera for all of us fans to enjoy. Here's hoping.
And good luck!
EDIT: I just watched Adam's statement. Assuming he's telling the truth, it seems like my read on X and the incident with Adam may not have been super far off. Instead of an "Oh, no, I'm not going to leave my partner for you" situation that lead to X going nuclear as I had guessed, he describes more of an "Oh, you're not the same person I thought you were when we were mainly talking online and I'm not interested in dating the actual you after all" situation that lead to X going nuclear. So, while I didn't have the details exactly right, my read on the vibes and motives of those involved were decently close for someone completely on the outside.
Either way, I'mma be honest: Since the incident happened, I've had my suspicions but I've kept from making any judgment because idk the people IRL, I wasn't there, and you never know. Just because you like somebody's work doesn't mean they're not secretly a creep. But, after Angela's video/statement and Adam's statement, I have to say: I believe him. The fact that, in all the time that has passed since this blew up, X has never followed up with any kind of specifics or opened any official cases (not even with the YT channels involved) about whatever Adam supposedly did, and has just relied on vague statements to tar his reputation and deny him work -- not to mention how that mirrors Angela's experience with X as well -- it really feels like X has a habit of out-of-proportion reactions to feeling slighted (real or imagined) and using vague statements to vindictively damage people's reps and careers, all the while insinuating that she'll bring out more details and evidence without ever following up with the promised details or evidence. Tbh, I knew something stunk with X's story and the smell is only getting stronger as more people begin to talk.
@@johnplaysgames3120 I agree.
The weird tension between X and Adam was very obvious and her behaviour made me feel very uncomfortable. I never really liked her because she came across as a bit of a narcissist but when she appeared in the studio for the first time I started dreading her appearances on the channel.
I appreciate this video. It really cleared alot up. You guys helped me out through so much. I split from my ex through the pandemic. 14 years. You guys helped me keep sane. All the laughter. I gained some awesome memories. It's a shame that what came across on screen wasn't the reality. It's also a shame something so great had to end. Thank you for this. I can say I was never really a fan of Adam's. Just the way his character was it just didn't sit right. That's not saying he's a bad person or anything. Then once everything came out it was easy for me to dislike him for what I had heard. Now hearing your story I realize I should of just not formed an opinion. As I didn't know what was going on, and also that that opinion was completely wrong.
I'm not blaming anyone because it's not my job to do so. private things should stay private... I just wish all this awful drama didn't happen. I love the current NRB House Rules, but Adam and Sullivan together doing House Rules was peak comedy. Glad to see Adam on this channel at least! And I'm glad Adam's mental health has, as he said, been improving.
Hopefully Adam and yourself can get through all of this drama cleanly, and X at least either gives concrete proof of the allegations, or apologizes and drops everything
Love you for this Angela. If Adam can get reinstated into NRB after Linkin Parks reunion this will be one of the most healing years of my life. I myself am going into therapy in two weeks time and hoping for a world where you too are back in some capacity after the two months I'll be mostly offline.
Hey, best of luck in therapy. Even if the world still sucks when you get out, things seem to be moving in the right direction at least.
I knew my vibe check was right about her she’s so pick me it’s a joke
I’m glad the other side of the story is finally coming out, I hope you and Adam can both move forward with happiness and success
I'm glad that you're able to not only share your side of the story but to make that step into putting this whole situation in the past. Hopefully you guys can get back to doing what you love and continue being awesome!
I love that you have done this, Its very brave and sheds a lot of light of the character of X. I personally never liked X on the channel I can't really explain why but something about her rubbed me the wrong way. Its interesting to those 'feelings' validated a little. Certain things she did and ways she acted in certain videos just put me off. Also never let anyone shame you for doing OF content. Bills must be paid and if you have the tools to be a success at it then do it. Hope to see you and Adam on NRB soon
How could you possibly know who X is *shock face*
Seems a shit situation all round, worse so that people may have lost money because of it.
Love and support for you and Adam through this turbulent time ❤❤❤
An individual makes some vague, unsubstatiated, and hatefully slanderous comments on UA-cam, and a person loses their entire career not to mention being branded an internet pariah. It just makes me sad.
Lot of love and good thoughts to you and Adam both! I hope this thing gets settled soon and we can see you both even as guests on NRD! I'm happy to see you guys seem to have made more videos! Off to see them next! XO
I will add my voice to those thanking you for taking the time to release a public statement on this matter, as well as sharing a link to Adam's video. To publicly open up in support of a friend in this situation, one in which their past makes them someone who will be easily vilified and therefore may land you in the fire as well, that says a lot about your character.
So does whoring yourself out on fucking onlyfans you absolute simpleton.
Thank you so much for making this public statement. Also hope to see you and Adam back on NRB!
I’m so excited to hear about Adam again! I’ve missed him greatly and thought about how he is doing. Thank you Angela for throwing your hat in the ring and helping clear up the situation further. I will echo the comments when I say that I hope you and Adam get to work on NRB again. I will also say that I’ve never liked X either. She gave me bad vibes from the beginning and I can totally see this side of her being more than plausible just from how she played BOTC.
What’s crazy is Carley because she’s not that popular is just censoring her comments and still posting she’ll never address this. Because it seems that based on this pattern where she will make accusations but doesn’t want to directly tell a detailed lie. So addressing it means she will have to make up details it seems at least or ignoring it and hoping months from now people move on.
You are very good at what you do, Angela. I don’t regularly mention UA-cam creators, but you’re one of the few I mention to my friends and gaming/non-gaming colleagues and friends.
I’m sorry you had to go through this. You make excellent content and it will be a sad day if you ever retire from UA-cam or any social media.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you Angela, I will watch Adam’s video now ❤❤
Great video. It’s nice to have some of the ambiguity cleared up. I hope Adam gets back to doing what he loves one way or another, maybe even re-joining NRB in some capacity after this is cleared up. It’s sad to think that part of the reason the man’s career was sabotaged was because X (allegedly) was trying to save face and was weirdly non-confrontational about addressing what her issues with you were exactly. Hope to her side of the story one day, too.
As a long time fan of NRB, I am really saddened by all of this particularly for you and Adam. I share your hopes for a better path forward for everyone who has been affected by this.
I'm glad Adam has you backing him up. Carley sounds fragile and crazy if all it took was an Instagram post where her handle couldn't be seen to be the start of all this. She legitimately cost both you and Adam money, time, work, and more. I hope at the end of this Adam can get back to WrestleTalk/NRB. Neither of you deserved this.
@@a-cygnus too much has gone for that to happen and IF was provable she'd name Carly directly
@@skyblazeeterno read the description, she has receipts and Adam claims to do too, they're strategically holding onto them in case she responds and claims they're lying
@@PabloAZ94 I call bullshit. It's taken months for this video to appear and why is she coy about naming Carly if she has solid proof
@@skyblazeeterno The UK has intense libel and slander laws. Legally, it makes WAY more sense to keep names out of things.
@@Pandapeep bs - If she has SOLID proof she would name Carly...and isnt it over a year since this all happened? Sorry this bullshit...but believe it if you want
Thanks for sharing your story and the support Adam has surrounding him. It’s truly so sad that X has done this and that we will most likely never see her apologize or take ownership of the damage she’s caused. Chalk it up to youth, insecurity or something deeper but neither you or Adam deserved the repercussions of X’s blatant lies and misdirection
Finally getting an answers for what was an unexpected upheaval is bittersweet. I'm relived to hear that things are in motion on Adam's side, and that there's receipts as a remedy for all of this nonsense. Sadly the gears of the legal system move slowly, but it seems he hasn't lost hope and he's still fighting. I'm eagarly looking forward to the day when the verdict comes down and the guilty party is revealed for all to see.
I'm appaled by the unrivaled... Pettiness? Delusion?On display from Carly. From Adam's story they used to be close and then they split seemingly amicably. I get that emotions rule a lot of people and romantic intrigue tends to create volitile emotions, but this is just outright ridiculous. The fictitious allegations against Adam appear to me intentional character assassination to punish his association with you.
Her lack of specifics speaks volumes to the reality of the situation: She made them up and she can't go into details because there are none. Intentionally forcing Adam to take legal action to remedy this is pure and simple malice.
Her immediate assumptions of leeching without any context or even a communication to simply say, "Hey, I was looking at you post. I was hoping you could put my handle on there so they can find me as well" shows a deeper level of pathalogical disfunction.
Thank you for sticking up for Adam and I hope to see you both again where you belong on NRB. I miss you both there dearly. Best wishes for you both.
Thank you I hope things are hopefully cleared for you and Adam going forward
Thank you for finding the courage to speak out and make this video!
I think that "X"'s silence in this whole matter is the most deafening. No acknowledgement and turning off comments on posts seems a bit suspicious.
I do hope we get a response from her that is truthful and apologetic. I doubt it, but we can hope.
who is it? i have an idea based off who isnt on NRB anymore and what people in these comments are saying but I'm honestly not sure
Man this really makes me happy. Adam is and always has been my favorite UA-cam personality when it comes to wrestling. Adam, Pete and Dan all left WT...and it's hard to watch but the passion Adam had when he does his fantasy bookings....it dorsnt get any better. Thank you for stepping in and putting thr truth down. Hopefully he csn go back to doing something he loves
Honestly the fact that Only Fans allowed you to make content creation your full time job is amazing. I hope you keep enjoying what you do, and sorry that you got dragged into this situation. Thank you for making a statement so soon, I know the community appreciates you being so open even though you had no obligation.
I hope this whole thing doesn't ruin Adam. Thanks for shedding more light on the situation.
I appreciate yours and Adam’s posting. Best wishes for Adam’s mental health and hope he can get back to gaming.
This was very important especially since Adam has been trying to better himself despite this situation sounding like a toxic relationship he tried to get out of where as X tried to take him down. I’m also hoping that this’ll get better for all parties and everyone gets to continue to do what they love
Gnarly Carley isn't a good person and unfortunately she cost us seeing a lot of great content in 2023-present with Adam and yourself being absent from NBR content.
idk anything about "X" i love adam and i was scrolling throught this to see her name
Thanks
She was/ is a great Clocktower player. In retrospect that's because she's a narcissist and a sociopath.
Thanks Angela, for sharing your experience of the situation.
Thank you for coming out with this. Have a subscribe. Hopefully we can see you both on PFK / NRB soon
Angela thanks for making this video. Not that you need validation from me or anyone, but you are a bad-ass for talking about your side of the story. I have such fond memories of you hanging out on the NRB discord. You are one of the best ambassadors of this community.
As you told your side of the story I started to feel like X's issue was going to be your Only Fans content before you posited that. Again you are a bad-ass and don't need my validation, but for whatever my opinion is worth all of your content has always been wonderful and beam with your passion for the things you love and your desire to share. I think your Only Fans content is no different. It's sex positive and celebrates intimacy instead of making people feel ashamed of it.
Anyway TL:DR you are awesome. THank you for being awesome and sharing your passions with us
NRB has not been the same since Adam left, and I barely watch it anymore. I hope the both of you can get back to the show!
Same. I was always excited for new videos and now I think I've watched 2 since he left ...
Hope Adam is doing well and I hope he knows his reputation isn't in any way ruined as he suggested in his video. Those who didn't like him before still don't but the majority if us hope he's ok and would love to see him back one day.
Pettiness and jealousy are so disgusting 😒 keep being yourself angela ❤
Thank you so much Angela for opening up.
I'm new to you and your channel. I've watched NRB for 3~4 years and was a fan of Adam's "energy". I feel that this "event" targeting him was unfair to him and unwarranted. Thank you for this I followed the link you provided first and appreciate this being provided.
Whomever "X" is; They have been uncivilized, uncultured, childish and completely disrespectful of others in these matters. By keeping her name out, it show great professionalism from you and Adam, although with this blatant behavior, I feel she doesn't deserve anonymity and needs to be publicly accountable for such "aggressive" assaults, but with the case of Adam, I understand why it hasn't happened. Maybe in the future the whole thing can be shared and we can all move on with the appropriate measures having been taken...
Other comments suggest its Carly, which would fit with the appearance and disappearance. This answer might be deleted later, just wanted to give you that hint
Thank you for this video. I miss Adam. The channels have not been the same without him. Also, I was so excited the first time I saw you on an NRB video and wondered why there weren't more. Now we know.
The channels have improved in his absence.
@@ministryofungentlemanlywarfareThe editing might have improved but he was no doubt the one to kickstart that, all those changes were happening as he left.
Thank you
Hopefully Adam gets to return to what he loves doing
