A former employee and sidekick of conservative internet personality Steven Crowder is speaking out today. In a video posted to X, Jared Mitello, known publicly as Jared Monroe and – to fans of “Louder With Crowder” – as “Not Gay Jared” accused Crowder of subjecting him to years of “legal abuse” after he left the “toxic” work environment.

In the video, Jared alleges that a controversial media personality routinely torments him. Though he does not name Crowder, a source told Mediaite's Diana Falzone that's who he was referring to:
“Enough is enough. This can't go on any longer,” Monroe said. “I am currently being legally abused and intimidated into silence by a former employer.”
Monroe worked on Louder With Crowder from 2014 to 2018, serving as a co-host on the show. The program reached a massive audience on YouTube, eventually boasting 5.8 million subscribers, before it decamped to the much smaller alternative video platform Rumble. In addition to the smaller platform, internal turmoil and scandals involving its eponymous host have put a dent in its audience.
Monroe decided to quit the show in August 2018, saying, “I could no longer put myself or my growing family through the toxic and abusive work environment I had endured for years.”
“This place was and is to this day a workplace rife with sexual misconduct, degeneracy, and aggression,” he said. “The things I saw, the things done to me, and the things I witnessed my employer do to others were disgusting, shocking, and utterly indefensible. I have the receipts.”
Monroe claimed the workplace environment was so toxic that at one point he had to be admitted to the hospital and put on anti-anxiety medications.
