I'm hedging my bets my guy.
Where there is smoke there is fire.
Mari came back.
Sarah came back.
Ify came back.
Not everybody does though, for a litany of reasons.
Kimmy, pls hear my prayers🙏
The rest of the OG Smosh Games crew hasn't, but they all speak highly of everybody there and the company as a whole.
Something clearly happened with Saige.
This gives off Matt Raub vibes, if you know what I mean.
Similar situation, left without much fanfare and only later did stuff come to the surface.
Funny enough Boze has vehemently stated her disdain for him and called him out with receipts.
But he was still at Kimmy's wedding.
Not to mention his quote "toxic" behavior was even brought up in a random Twitch stream in chat and Court had to play peacemaker and diffuse the situation.
He was Saige before she was hired.
I get people can change, I guess different strokes for different folks, right?
I think that plays off what that other anon was talking about in regards to Noah, Keith, & Olivia with SSG teams.
Some people just have "mob mentality" and refuse to budge.
I'm not condoning what any of them did by any means, I'm just saying that relationships and life are both nuanced.
We don't really know any of them personally, but if they are invited to huge milestone events like weddings, they can't be that horrible.
And I know that people are going to and have said, that they can't just uninvite them, but they can.
Just like how some "fans" want drastic and immediate repercussions, like them to be fired or not be friends anymore, it goes both ways.
Smosh or the cast individually can do whatever they choose.
A great example of this is Gus Johnson.
He was a recurring Smosh guest and seemed to be a fan favorite.
His old TNTL bits with Shayne were the stuff of "Legend".
Then it came out that he neglected and abused his gf, a fellow YouTuber Abelina Sabrina, who was suffering with an Ectopic pregnancy at the time.
I added the link to the full story below.

Nobody knew at Smosh, nor did Eddy Burback who was Gus's friend, comedy partner, and similarly a recurring Smosh guest.
Eddy called him out and stopped being his friend.
Smosh followed suit and stopped having him on entirely.
It's something Smosh should seriously work on.
Their communication with fans is abysmal, imo.
Take Sword AF for instance, they did what they did and got MASSIVE push back and rightfully so.
It got so bad that Tommy even started to get snippy with fans, because of the backlash.
They are so wishy-washy in what they choose to address or it is complete radio silence.
So this whole Saige story isn't completely out of the ordinary, given the similarities to Matt and Gus.
Mmm, I see what you’re saying. I do believe, at least now, that something really did happen with Saige. Like you said, there’s old members that are still on good terms and ones that don’t get brought up at all. I do think with Matt that they’re not on good terms with him. Maybe with Kimmy if he was at her wedding, but when they were reacting to the old SSG, every time he popped up, Shayne would kinda shake his head and look in disapproval in a way? Considering they almost never outright say things, it’s so hard to really know what’s going on. So I’m not surprised that Saige, Matt Raub, and Gus’ exits weren’t discussed either. It’s just so confusing atp honestly, I never know how to feel about any of these situations 🤷♀️
