• All indications are that Aaron was asked to resign due to issues in his personal life that board members believe reflect poorly on the foundation. And after yet another embarrassing event in L.A at the time of the Masterson trial, he was finally voted off by reasonable people on the board who want to maintain the focus of the foundation on its mission. The board can't say what happened in L.A, and Aaron said today he won't tell us either (at least for three months). But Aaron acknowledged in a response to a comment I posted on his "My Final Statement On The Aftermath Foundation Saga" video (screenshot for posterity) asking "Would it happen to be related to the "I don't want you to record me…" video on X?" And Aaron replied, "Yes, it is exactly related to that. Obviously." So the L.A. issue relates to an encounter Aaron had with a woman in a hotel room, and there is video tape of Aaron apparently trying to wrestle a phone from a woman who is on his lap and attempting to video tape the pair. From my perspective, it's a bad look. I understand that the AF wouldn't be too pleased by yet another in a series of physical encounters between Aaron and others. If Aaron’s personal problems and apparent predilection for physical contact bring the foundation into disrepute, IMHO, it is reasonable to ask Arron to resign, and vote him off if he didn't. Just sayin'

• Childish temper tantrum and now he's taking his toys and leaving! Take that everybody. Those nervous laughs though…lol

• You don’t like him because he’s honest? Says a lot about YOU…js.

• Your cognitive dissonance is just as dismissive to members as Mike Rinder’s initial response. People need to be able to trust their board and their org.

• The board is not healthy and their actions regardless of Aaron’s behavior is not ethical when it consists of all married couples. Most nonprofits prohibit this in their by-laws

• How would these cats ever have agreed on a code of conduct?
  That conduct code which the AF statement references is the most subjective, vague, weaponisable thing I've ever read. BTW I watched that video before he deleted it and no he did not use AF branding on it, just as he doesn't use AF branding on most of his Lives. Go check yourself – let's deal with facts – how many of his Lives over the last X months use AF branding.
  Second, how can you name-check Conflict of Interest when you have 3XMarried Couples/Partners on the same board? That's some Mickey Mouse Board LOL.
  You ask what work did ASL do for the AF? He was the President, he was the co-founder and go check the facts on the donations, he drew in more $ in the last year than the others had done in the previous 6 years.
  Anyway I will be interesting to look out for your 90 day prediction. At 31mins – you predict that Aaron will become part of the right wing grift shift. Make a wager, I bet you that he does not do that.

• Quote of the stream “does he think he has more impact on the donations than Leah Remini?” 💯 People do think of Leah Remini AND Mike Rinder, as the faces of the Aftermath foundation because of the Aftermath doco series which happened in 2016. I had always assumed they set up the foundation until this week when I found out for the first time he is the co-founder!

• They might all have their issues..Smith Levin used his platform to bring attention to the plight.
  The same platform could be a very big pr nightmare.

• Title says "11/11" not "11/21"
