The long and short of it is that there was a smear campaign against Vinny in 2021 from this guy and a few others, but it was so fake that it ended up canceling GPM instead.
Basically, fans dug through the allegations and found out most of it was faked, hearsay, or how the "worst" of it simply amounted to "consensual relations with a fan", so there was massive backlash against the accusers. At the time, GPM was also recently kicked out of Vinesauce for embezzling charity funds for his own personal needs, so he even had motive.
For his part, Vinny lawyered up and went on a hiatus (at the time feeling burnt out on streaming and unsure if he was going to continue even after the incident blew over), while GeePM lost most of his subs and nuked his reputation.
You can still see the fallout in the comments like this video.

Thank you for the explanation and the links. I remember watching that video when it came out, but I remember nothing of it. If I get the time for it, I'll read through the GPM stuff and maybe rewatch the video to see if I can pick up what some of the commenters are talking about.
