[00:02] number one, where is Bennett? These past few months have been very difficult for us as we would never want to leave you guys hanging or in the dark on anything. At the same time, Bennett is very close to us and someone that is practically a
[00:15] background, before family friendly even started, I let Bennett move in with me a year. During that time, he genuinely became part of my family and someone that I care so deeply about and want to see happy. Because of this, we at
[00:29] FamilyFriendly respected Bennett's wishes when he asked us to keep his personal life private. That being said, we believe the amount of drama that is now being caused by us keeping information minimal has surpassed the
[00:41] been caused had we just been clear from the start. Both us, Bennett, and people receiving an unprecedented amount of harassment due to us keeping quiet about this situation. And nobody wants that. Therefore, while we're giving this
[00:55] update, please understand that we will not be going into much detail just to preserve privacy for everyone. We at FamilyFriendly devote 24/7 of our time unfortunately does not leave us much
[01:08] projects. For example, Joe and I have both sacrificed relationships, hobbies, and other paths to go all in on our dream. And a few months ago, Bennett wanted to pursue. And he recognized that he could not put the time into
[01:23] familyfriendly. While this was tough on all of us, ultimately together we and Bennett came to the conclusion that he should pursue his other passions. So, while he will not be in familyfriendly videos anymore, we still love him and we
[01:35] hope you guys respect his privacy and show him love and support at whatever he does next. Bennett will always be a part of Family Friendly's legacy. Just please remember, leaving angry comments, sending DMs, or harassing anyone isn't
