old Nostalgia Critic had its charm.
He's funny enough and donates a lot to charity. Good dude.
I stopped watching his videos when he started to do more skits instead of reviewing the movie.That's where I fell off too
We said the same thing about Jirard...Who is that and what did they do?
I'll be so upset if Doug turns out to be another Jirard.
Who is that and what did they do?Google is your friend for more info, but the TL;DR is charity fraud. He and his family ran a fundraising group that hadn't actually donated any of the money that they raised specifically to donate to charity. In addition, I believe he didn't correctly report all of this to the IRS.
Google is your friend
To be fair, I only said his first name....yeah I can see how that came off, my intent wasn't to be insulting. It's a kinda long and nuanced story and I didn't fancy typing the whole thing up.
There was also that sexual assault leak about Channel Awesome that came out a few years ago, although I don't think the NC himself was implicated in it.
I don't recall him being accused of sexual assault himself, but numerous contributors alleged all sorts of really shitty behaviour by him, including sexism towards female collaborators and making people unsafe (not always just feeling unsafe, sometimes actual physical danger).
