** In October 2020, it was for real after explicit and compromising material of fan favorite personalities Ryan Haywood and Creator/{{Funhaus}}'s Adam Kovic leaked online. It became a scandal when some of Adam's images were sussed out to be taken inside the Funhaus offices and that both of them were sexting people who were not their wives. In Ryan's case, his inappropriate behavior was with fans, with one having been 17 at the time. As a result, Ryan announced his departure to repair his family life and Adam blacked out his social media after issuing a brief statement, while Rooster Teeth quietly scrubbed any scheduled content that would have featured them. But given their heavy prominence in the groups, it's unlikely that Ryan or Adam's past content will be entirely erased, but they won't be mentioned in the future.

** In 2018, four years after his suicide, it was revealed that [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis Justin "JewWario" Carmical]] was a sexual predator who assaulted at least two women, and that one of those attacks was the previously-undisclosed reason he had been let go from Channel Awesome shortly before his passing. After these crimes came to light, former Channel Awesome producers took down {{Crossover}} collaborations with Justin, excised or replaced his {{Cameo}}s in their videos, and removed [=JewWario=] hats that had been prominently placed on their sets in tribute to him (this even extended to creators not affiliated with Channel Awesome - [[WebVideo/CinematicExcrement Smeghead]], for instance, took down his review of ''Anime/TheGreatMissionToSavePrincessPeach'', which had been made in tribute to [=JewWario=], after the allegations came out). WebVideo/MarzGurl, who had made the movie ''Film/FarewellFamiKamenRider'' in Justin's memory, averted this by deciding to keep that movie online for "historical purposes", while stating she would have ''never'' made it if she was told about Justin's true nature and adding a disclaimer to the movie making it clear that it no longer reflected her opinion of him.

* The meme "Music/HatsuneMiku Created X" is an invoked version of this, where the famous synthesiser is credited with inventing a particular piece of media in the place of a controversial figure; the caveat behind this being that as a blank slate character, [[CreatorWorship she hasn't and never will do anything wrong]], and any bad elements are because the figures in question (never referred to by name to keep the illusion) [[StealingTheCredit stole the glory]] and mucked up Miku's vision with their additions. Among other things she's been credited for "creating" are ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' and the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' franchise.

* WebVideo/RedLetterMedia unlisted all of their videos featuring Creator/MaxLandis after several women accused him of sexual abuse in June of 2019. This included their most popular ''WebVideo/BestOfTheWorst'' video ever, with over two million views.

* When Blip went under, [[WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou Nash Bozard]] moved most of his videos to Youtube... except those featuring his former partner WebVideo/JesuOtaku, leading to the number 21 being skipped in the prerecorded episodes, orphaned references in [=MAGfest=] specials to a review of the Series/WonderWoman2011Pilot, and the loss of one the late [[WebVideo/YouCanPlayThis Jew Wario]]'s guest appearances.

** Creator/AllisonPregler AKA Obscurus Lupa was fired rather controversially in early 2015 from the site (allegedly over being out of the house while CA management was trying to contact her), which caused her boyfriend WebVideo/{{Phelous}} and Andrew Dickman to quit in protest. Within five minutes all of their content was removed from the site (in Phelous' case, videos that dated all the way back to 2008) with the exception of a few crossover appearances. Made worse by the fact that fellow long-time contributors [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick Lindsay Ellis]], [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Kyle Kallgren]] and Smarty also left around the same time and were all given a "farewell" period to say their goodbyes to the site. [[TheDogBitesBack Allison was the first of many ex-Channel Awesome employees to state her case against the site]] in [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WZFkR__B3Mk9EYQglvislMUx9HWvWhOaBP820UBa4dA/mobilebasic this document]] which calls the management out on how they operated. Later on in 2019, Allison announced that she would be removing crossover reviews that she did with Brad Jones and cutting his cameos from her other videos after [[WeUsedToBeFriends after the disintegration of their friendship]].

* Website/ChannelAwesome isn't in the habit of keeping its former producers' content on their web site, so really anyone who leaves automatically becomes this. However, there are at least three occasions where the site did this purposefully:

* Creator/RedLetterMedia unlisted all of their videos featuring Creator/MaxLandis after several women accused him of sexual abuse in June of 2019. This included their most popular ''WebVideo/BestOfTheWorst'' video ever, with over two million views.

* Creator/TomSka had done this with one of his earliest and most frequent collaborators, Christopher "Bing" Bingham, in 2014, removing his name from credits, subtitles, and video titles after a falling out. It was later revealed on Tom's Tumblr page that this had been Bing's request, as he no longer wanted to be associated with Tom or his channel after their falling out a year prior, and after a talk with Tom in 2018 where they addressed this, the credits and subtitles were restored.

** Following his departure, WebVideo/JonTron was not mentioned by [[Creator/{{Egoraptor}} Arin]] or any of the new Grumps -- all of whom were apparently good friends with him -- in their newer videos, and almost any mention of him was done so in a roundabout way so as to not say his name or include his involvement. While speculation abounds as to whether he had a falling out with the rest of the cast or not, Arin's only official mention of Jon was to say that it's not out of disrespect or to ignore his contribution, but because Arin feels talking about Jon on the show unintentionally drags him back to it and stops all of them from moving on. As of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aVgIkFu36Q&ab_channel=GameGrumps Episode 109]] of Arin & Danny's [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Pokemon FireRed]] series, however, Jon has been mentioned occasionally by name, more than a year and a half after his departure.
