In regards to the lawsuit involving ourselves and Jackson, please do not use this as an opportunity to witch-hunt, harass, dox, or be uncivil to anyone. It’s an ongoing matter and we will keep you updated as we see fit. Thanks.

We would like to apologize for Ryan’s appearance on infowars today. We thought putting him in a mask and pretending to be Kanye would be a funny bit, but clearly Ryan took it too far. We will do better.

We are aware that our ex-employee, Leighton Stollard, has made statements about us, accusing us of homophobia behind the scenes.
We want to state unequivocally that no one at SuperMega believes that certain people are better or worse based on their sexual orientation. From the beginning, we have always supported the LGBTQ+ community openly and will always continue to do so.
Last month, we made the difficult decision to let Leighton go. We were surprised that Leighton chose such a broad brush to paint his past experiences with our company. The jokes we made were playing along with Leighton's bits on the channel. In the videos and around the office, Leighton made sarcastic comments about his sexuality and made it a staple of his character. All the jokes we made were within the boundaries he set.
We’ve had many meetings to discuss communication and feelings with Leighton, most notably two separate meetings within the last 6 months to make sure we were not crossing any boundaries and that he felt comfortable around the office. On both occasions, Leighton assured us that he had no problem with the jokes and that we were all on the same page in terms of the satirical nature of the bits. We stressed time and time again that if any jokes ever made him feel uncomfortable, we would of course stop making them and apologize.
As well as professionally, we also reached out to Leighton privately many times through his employment at SuperMega and received the same response: he didn't mind and insisted it was all in good fun. He never said he was uncomfortable with the humor or asked us to lay off. We take any issues our employees have within the company seriously. We care about the people who work for us, and always want them to feel comfortable.
Leighton also tweeted about a situation in which we supposedly "laughed at and wouldn't sign a book for a young victim of a suicide attempt." This is a distorted retelling of what actually happened.
A person close to Leighton asked him if we could sign a copy of our book to give to a young person who had attempted suicide after being bullied for their sexuality. We of course agreed. We each signed our names and wanted to add a personal note, so we inquired further. It turned out that the person was not familiar with SuperMega in the slightest. Leighton claimed in his tweet that the person was a young fan, but we were told that they did not know who we were, but watched YouTube in general. We raised concern about the appropriateness of sending merchandise of our channel to someone in that situation, skeptical that it would come across as vain and self-insertive. These concerns were misread as jokes at the expense of the situation instead of legitimate worries.
We had a long conversation with Leighton to resolve any miscommunications and we still offered to sign the book for him. Any misplaced feelings were set aside, and we resolved the issue with a hug.
Those who know us know that we have a history with suicide and take it VERY seriously. Not a day goes by where the gravity of that situation doesn’t weigh on us and we encourage anyone dealing with suicidal thoughts to seek professional help and reach out to loved ones. You are not alone.
We admit that we are two immature dudes who can be sophomoric when it comes to comedy. However, we have never used humor to mask actual bigotry. While we have been irresponsible with this style of humor, there is never any hatred in our hearts stemming from someone's sexuality, race, gender identity, etc. We always try our best to make sure that the people around us feel comfortable.
We’d like to end this by extending a public apology to Leighton for any times he has felt uncomfortable with our jokes. We felt that this was important to respond to, and we ask that nobody harass Leighton. We wish him the best moving forward.

Dear Fans,
First off we are sorry. This is not something easy to say but something that needs to be said. We are the ones who put all those birds inside HomeDepot.
Remember that we are all humans, learning and growing. We ask not for your forgiveness but for your understanding

4 years ago today, we started SuperMega out of a friend’s garage. Today, we’re a Fortune 500 company with a large presence on the NASDAQ. Making up 22% of the global economy, we couldn’t have done this without you guys. THANK YOU FOR 4 YEARS OF SUPERMEGA! A thread:

After a long and arduous few days, we are happy to announce that we have regained access to our Twitter account.
Mr. Pang has been executed via firing squad in his home country. Thank you all for the support. We couldn’t have done this without you!
