 I'm currently being legally abused and intimidated into silence by a former employer. This has been going on for a while now and it simply cannot live in darkness for another day. But I am asking for your help to fight back. I signed this separation agreement, an NDA, containing a strict and very broad non-disparagement clause many years ago. I voluntarily left my job after deciding 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. 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. This all took a serious toll on my personal health to the point near the end of my tenure. The work environment had become so toxic that I had to be admitted into a heart hospital. After many tests, I was ultimately put on anti-anxiety medication. This condition was so canoeing to me. I know history of it prior to my employment there and have never been treated for it since. You just heard from Jared Monroe, known as NotGay Jared on Steven Crowder's YouTube show Later With Crowder, and he has now set up a GoFundMe to help him cover the cost of legal fees that he accrued due to years and years of legal intimidation from his former employer, Steven Crowder. Now in a 15 minute long video, Jared alleges that he was coerced into signing a strict NDA and non-compete that he didn't want to sign once he announced that he was leaving the company. Now he says that he loved due to a toxic work environment and sexual misconduct as well as sexual degeneracy and aggression. Now he quickly learned that leaving wasn't so easy once he announced that he was resigning because he found himself in a perpetual state of law affair against Crowder and he claims that he's not the only ex-crowder employee who's been subjected to the same type of legal intimidation and he also alleges that Crowder is doing all of this to his ex-employees so that way they don't spill the tea on his double life in secrets. That's Jared's words, not mine, we'll get to the video in a moment. Now he makes it very clear that he has receipts to prove all of this, hence why Crowder is trying so hard to silence him. Now I do believe Jared because he's not the first ex-employee of Crowder's to speak out about the uncomfortable position that Crowder often put them in. For example, Owen Benjamin alleges that Crowder would make his employees dress up under the guise of making fun of transgender people and explains, quote, How was dressing like degenerate fruit cakes owning the left? I agreed so I'm no victim but I felt very uncomfortable saying no and I didn't want to let down the team. Over time I realized more and more that we weren't owning anyone and I just kept being asked to wear really degrading and sexualizing outfits. Now this has been Crowder's ammo for a while, I mean he'll find any excuse to dress and drag under the pretense of doing comedy or owning the libs or making fun of LGBTQ plus people especially trans people when it's painfully obvious that he just wants to dress in women's clothing because he feels more comfortable wearing women's clothing and of course there's nothing inherently wrong with him doing that aside from the transphobia that he's espousing but his employees very clearly didn't feel as comfortable as he did in drag as evidenced by what they've said after leaving the company and with respect to Jared the surf shared screenshots from a skit that he did with Crowder where Crowder made them both touch each other and even made out while both of them were in drag all under the pretense of making fun of trans people and not to mention there's also this video. Now Stephen Crowder chose to post that video to his public Twitter account on his own volition I'm not joking about this now I couldn't find the original so he might have deleted the tweet but that is a video of him with his own employee and it's funny how all of his comedy skits involve him and his employees dressing in a sexual manner right I mean it's a bit of a tell is it not now if that's the kind of stuff that Steven Crowder was sharing publicly we don't even have to imagine how much worse it probably was behind the scenes and I say we don't have to imagine that because we know how bad it was in fact in an expose published in the New York intelligence or journalist Matt Steve reported that Steven Crowder allegedly sexually harassed his own male employees writing in March of 2018 Crowder and his crew were driving in a van when a former producer he liked to call not gay Jared fell asleep in the back row Steven was in front and he was joking about what he was going to do a witness said he climbed over and dropped his junk on top of Jared's shoulder the same ex-staffer recall that Crowder had exposed himself to Jared in 2017 while they were filming a parody version of ghost and on a flight in 2018 a different employee claims that they saw Crowder put his testicles on his childhood friend and assistant John Goodman another employee remembered that Crowder had showed his gentles to Dave Landau a comedian and former co-host who called Crowder a bully last week now they say last week but this is an article from last year now they add Landau claimed that Crowder installed a Dave don't talk button on the show to get him to be quiet on air quote at first I took it as him trying to be friendly or one of the guys said an ex-staffer now I see it was a power play Crowder allegedly sent production assistants to do his laundry and could be an unreasonable micro manager who would make wild requests after hours to set people up for failure ex-staffers claim that he would regularly berate his team and threaten to fire people on the company's discord channel he even went after his own father Darren Crowder per one source who claimed Crowder would yell at his dad in front of employees when Darren was working as his son's booker so this man allegedly abused his employees and created a hostile work environment and now he's trying to silence them in order to keep a lid on the abuse that we don't yet know about but Stephen Crowder isn't just waging lawfare against his former employees because in response to Jared's video Candace Owens actually spoke out and accused him of doing the same thing to his wife writing wait till they find out what he's been doing to his wife I never edited my opinion on Stephen Crowder because I knew that everything would eventually be revealed this really is going to be a year of revelations now even though Candace Owens isn't necessarily the most reliable source it's very plausible that she's correct here and that he is indeed subjecting his wife to the same lawfare as his former employees because as mediaeid explains Monroe is in the only one who has been subjected to legal action from Crowder in October his company sued his estranged wife Hilary Crowder for torturous interference after her family accused him of mentally and emotionally abusive behavior in a statement to the journalist Yasha Ali and that emotionally abusive behavior that they were talking about was exposed in ring-camera footage where he was vocally abusing his very pregnant wife so he is using his wealth to crush anyone who dares to defy him and with respect to Jared it's evident that Crowder was maliciously just trying to destroy his life as evidenced by the following details shared by Jared all I simply wanted to do was peacefully leave it was clear by my employer though that this was not only unacceptable but that I needed to be punished for doing so being bullied on each of these terms and many more fighting for my basic freedoms to leave and provide for my family immediately sent me into legal debt I did not want to sign anything mind you but the negotiations with my former employer left no question that without a signed NDEA my guaranteed silence I would undoubtedly be harassed well into the future the primary reason I signed the NDEA was for a small carve-out in the non-compete clause which allowed me to freely seek employment using some of my skill sets at another specific company I'll use that to feed my family that provision however was a lie and upon starting my new job at the new said company I was giving another one of these a cease and assist and uh was promptly unlawfully terminated from that that position I did thousands more to my legal debt trying to fight back my wife was very pregnant by this time and without a financial safety net for groceries and a baby crib much less a legal fund to file a countersuit I simply had to let it go trusting God had a plan Crowder actually got him fired from his new job even though he had a baby on the way he was just trying to move on take care of his family sought other employment and Crowder intervened for no good reason to get him fired now Jared signed the non-compete but what trade secrets specifically is Jared going to share with other companies right I don't know what the job was but assuming he was working in media or had a media company like what is he going to expose how to do segments where you dress in drag and be overly racist like what exactly is the purpose of this non-compete and it's all about control that's what it feels like and Jared goes on to explain that Crowder is able to legally intimidate employees into silence because he has virtually unlimited funds to do so and even if the terms of these NDAs don't hold up in the court of law which I don't know but even if they don't simply challenging them in and of itself is very costly for people like Jared who don't have the power and wealth that Steven Crowder has but since Jared did challenge them and refused to comply with any of Crowder's legal threats well his life has basically been ruined and this was all because he wanted to just leave a job because his boss was terrible toxic abusive he wanted to leave but Crowder wouldn't let him and to make matters even worse Crowder made Jared turn over his own personal equipment and even made him turn over his personal Twitter account that he had before he started working for Crowder because he claimed that that was the intellectual property of the company so there is so much here so much that is really damaging for Crowder and it's evident why he didn't want his employees to speak out because this man was a tyrant and it just kind of goes to show you how emboldened he felt because he has millions of dollars and a team of lawyers on his side but I've got one more video of Jared while my supposed not compete expired after two years unfortunately the most egregious part of my NDA the part that silences my free speech has no expiration while NDAs are classically used to protect protect trade secrets unfortunately in the entertainment industry they are too often used to protect disgusting unlawful activity in many forms of abuse we see examples of this all the time powerful people and their attorneys routinely use NDAs to silence victims in order to remain powerful people let me be clear what I'm afraid of is legal harassment and perpetuity not the truth only one side of this ordeal is spending a fortune to hide truth and punish anyone who dares speak up for themselves or other victims I'm asking for donations for two reasons number one obviously to help with the financial burden I've already accrued with this legal matter right here that's taking care of that matter is priority priority number one as I'm going further and further into debt with each passing day the second reason I'm asking for our financial assistant though assistance is to proactively address my unconstitutional anti free speech NDA which is the basis for all of their claims against me the simplest resolution here would be for max employer to release me from the NDA give me and my fellow ex-employees the same free speech they publicly champion for every other American but I can almost guarantee you that will not happen I've already witnessed them spend unfathomable amounts of money in other cases to protect their double life and secrets I mean if that NDA is gone and Jared feels free to speak you know there's going to be some pretty damaging stuff to Crowder's credibility there I mean Jared literally said that Crowder has already spent unfathomable amounts of money in his case and in other cases to protect his double life and secrets so why would he let up now and in response to Jared's video the CEO of Crowder's company Gerald Morgan has basically said yeah we're not gonna let up anytime soon quote we will not be intimidated by media smear tactics mr. Monroe entered into an agreement with lotter with Crowder that he knowingly violated after discovering repeated violations lotter with Crowder was forced to take legal action the trial court has denied mr. Monroe's effort to avoid the legal proceedings which are moving forward pursuant to the court's order in other words they're not denying the fact that they've been putting Jared through hell all this time in fact they're defending it now keep in mind that Jared hasn't been with the company for more than five years at this point and the fact that he is still forced to go through all of this tells you that Stephen Crowder is willing to go to great lengths to protect the public from learning about whatever Jared knows and it shows you also how tyrannical Stephen Crowder is but i mean even without this information to be clear from his wife and his employees i think it was already abundantly clear that Crowder was a terrible human being based on despicable dehumanizing rhetoric that he used against marginalized people on his own show i mean before we learned about the alleged harassment from his own employees we saw him publicly harass queer creators like Carlos Mazza for years so i'm not surprised that someone who exclusively punches down in public is also punching down in private as well none of us should be so in conclusion when somebody tells you who they are you should believe them
