Rebel Media Drama (Caolan Robertson, Faith Goldy fired, and Gavin Mcinnes leaving )

I didn't know if I should have put this in 'The Canada Politics Thread' or if this deserves a thread on its own. I feel like this is big enough to where it warrants its own thread but I'll let the mods decide.
There's been a huge series of events that's taken place at Rebel Media today. This might be more relevant to Canadian viewers, but those that know or appreciate Gavin and Faith can perhaps understood where this is coming from.
Caolan Robertson (former Rebel reporter) posted a video today detailing about a scam and other unethical work practices of Ezra Levant (founder of Rebel). In the video he subtitles audio of a conversation of a "pay-out" and "hush money" supposedly with Caolon and George Llewellyn John (former Rebel camera-man for Caolan's content, and also boyfriend). Just some highlights are Ezra telling them how he sued a man just for the sake of it in hopes that he would commit suicide. He also talks about Rebel's money laundering where money donated to victims was not properly paid to the right individuals and asking audiences to "sign petitions" as a way for them to make more money.
Ezra responds with his own video saying that he was being blackmailed by Caolan and George. Ezra says that he hired both Caolan and George on the spot after Caolan got fired from his full-time job after appearing in a video with Tommy Robinson. He provided frequents sums of money to help Caolan and George as a good gesture to help them during their rough patch. However he was being blackmailed by the both of them after Ezra at some point would no longer meet their demands, hence the "hush-money" of $20,000.
Shortly thereafter, another video was uploaded by Ezra explaining why Faith Goldy was let go due to appearing at the Charlottesville Rally and going on a podcast affiliated with the Daily Stormer.
Also it is reported by 'Canadaland' that Gavin Mcinnes is also leaving Rebel Media

Gavin kinda might have been onto the JQ after his Israel trip with the Rebel crew. 'Canadaland' also provided a transcript of an episode of Gavin's other gig 'The Gavin Mcinnes Show' at Compound Media with a behind-the-scenes look of Gavin, Faith Goldy, and Sheila Gunn Reid talking in a hotel room. In it, he goes on a drunk tirade about Israel, Jews, and some funny bits like almost making Faith cry asking her about why she's 27 and still not married yet to her boyfriend of 5 years...lol

Any other interesting tidbits that I'm missing feel free to discuss.
