Why was Cole Carrigan kicked out of Team 10?

We were all pretty shook when Cole revealed he was no longer a part of Team 10.

“Just want to let you guys know that I am no longer a part of Team 10 anymore,” he wrote on Twitter. “Details will be up later this week. Love you.”

He also claimed on his Instagram Stories that Jake and the rest of the Team 10 members spray painted over a mural he had painted with the words, “Get the f–k out of our house.”

But in a YouTube video posted on the next day, Jake quickly defended himself. He explained that he was the one that had made Cole the mural, so when he decided to kick the makeup artist off the team, he felt he had a right to paint over it. He also revealed that although someone did write obscenities over the mural, he covered it up because he thought it was petty.

“I’m over this bulls–t of me giving everything to these people who are f–king at such a small point in their career. I mentor them, I become their friend, I give them hugs when they’re crying,” he added. “I have proven time and time again that I am a good person and that I’ve literally done nothing but help these people. It’s bulls–t. It breaks my heart.”

As for why he kicked out the beauty guru, in a previous video, Jake slammed him for posting inappropriate pictures on social media.

“Not only is Cole representing my brand, but he’s also representing Team 10 and everyone else on the team,” the social media star explained. “We have to be careful about what everyone on the team posts.”

He also called the beauty guru “lazy” and “unproductive,” and claimed that he wasn’t uploading enough content. But on July 21, 2019, Cole finally told his side of the story in a video called “Why I Left Team 10…” He explained that the reason he didn’t record as many videos as they wanted was because they didn’t provide him with the resources that they had promised.

“They constantly stressed about how we would be provided with literally every resource to create any shape or form of content that we possibly could want and get any brand deal we want and get all this money. And the whole three months that I lived there, I didn’t get one brand deal from them. I didn’t make one penny. I did all my emailing and all of my brand work. They didn’t provide me with anything besides telling me I had an editor. I had to find photographers. I had to find brand deals. I had to find videographers. I had to find clothing brands to sponsor me clothes. I literally did everything on my own. The only thing that I was provided with was a room, a really nice house to live in and followers,” he explained. “One thing I noticed from living there is that they constantly told me that they wanted to see me win, they wanted to see me succeed and they were constantly there for me. But would always point out my flaws and things I did wrong. They would tell me to go work on it and come back to them instead of coaching me, guiding me and teaching me lessons to form me into a role model and good person like a normal social media agency would.”

And although Cole said that there was a lot of things about living in the Team 10 house that bothered him, it was when the team went to Vegas for Tana Mongeau‘s 21st birthday that things really got messy. The YouTube star said that he and Team 10 event organizer Arman Izadi “Armani” got into a heated argument after Armani claimed that Cole was saying bad things about him. Cole even accused Armani of verbally abusing him.

“He’s in my ear calling me a f—got, saying all I do is paint my face. Calling me a piece of s—t, saying that I’m trash, dirt, lazy, unproductive, selfish, egotistical,” he continued. “I’m talking every name in the book. To the point where I am bawling my eyes out.”

After that, Cole said he was forced to pack up his things and move out, despite trying to talk things out with Jake and Team 10’s manager, Adam Quinn. After he was kicked out, Cole alleged that the former Team 10 members hacked his Instagram account, sent him threatening text messages and bullied him on social media.

“The environment was very toxic. No one cared about each other. No one supported each other,” he concluded.

Who was in Team 10 in the past?

Alissa Violet, Neels Visser, Alex Lange, AJ Mitchell, the Dobre Twins, Nick Crompton, Tessa Brooks, Chance Sutton, Kade Speiser, Stan Gerards, Tristan Tales, the Martinez Twins, Anthony Trujillo, Max Beaumont, Chad Tepper, Erika Costell, Justin Roberts, and Ben Hampton (who was 6 years old at the time) were all part of the group at one point.

Why did Nick Crompton leave Team 10?

Nick, who was the Chief Operations Officer of Team 10, revealed in Shane’s docuseries about Jake that he thought of his time in the house as a pleasant one.

“I guess Team 10 was like my college experience, or the closest thing I’m going to get to it because I didn’t go. It was a bunch of people living together, just having fun, but we wer making money at the same time and it was a business,” he said.

In May of 2018 though, Nick surprised fans by writing an open letter explaining that he was departing Team 10 and would no longer be the COO.

“Due to internal changes being made within our various businesses that I don’t agree with, I have resigned both as chief operations officer and as talent. I still love my Team 10 family but the vision for the business, people involved, and direction it’s now going in, no longer makes sense to me,” he wrote.

In the docuseries, Nick also revealed that once Jake’s dad, Greg Paul, got involved in the business, he knew it was time for him to leave.

“For me, things starting geting different when Greg Paul got involved. I don’t know how to explain that man, but he forced his way in. In the beginning, he tried to get involved and I talked to Jake and he would come out and it didn’t work out and he rubbed everyone the wrong way, and then he would go back to Ohio. And it was like a cycle. He came out again when we moved into the new house and managed to get some kind of authority and start making decisions and everything just started not being what it was supposed to be. And I didn’t like it so I left. It was a constant fight between me and Greg,” Nick explained to Shane. “I knew when I told [Jake] I wanted to leave, he would want me to leave right then. He does take things very personally and I think with someone like me leaving might have hit more than it has before. I tried to do it in the best way possible, but it was very abrupt with me and he asked me to leave, so I left. I’ve texted him a few times about certain things, but still have not heard anything back.”

Why did Chance Sutton leave Team 10?

Chance has been a longtime friend of Jake’s, so his departure in May of 2018 was another shocker. He took to YouTube to share his side of the story, insisting there wasn’t any drama behind his reason to depart the squad. He explained that he never really had any intention of becoming a vlogger and wanted to focus on his true passion: video games.

“Why I left Team 10 was because I wanted to focus on myself more. I have my own goals and visions that don’t line up everyone’s, and I wanted to do something on my own. There was honestly no crazy fight, no internal drama between anyone. Those are my friends for years and it wasn’t an easy decision,” Chance said. “I sat them down — my friends — and I explained to them why I’m doing what I’m doing and obviously, it wasn’t a great experience, but there are no hard feelings, no one is mad at each other. They understood and I’m really glad the way that all worked out.”

He was even spotted wearing a Team 10 sweatshirt in January of 2019, so it’s clear there’s no bad blood between them.

Why did Tessa Brooks leave Team 10?

In a vlog she posted on New Year’s day in 2018 titled, “I Have Something To Tell You,” the YouTuber gave very little detail about why she decided to get out of the group but confirmed the fact that she was indeed dunzo with Jake and his gang.

She said, “I just want to let you guys know that I am no longer in Team 10. I will definitely explain more in a later video but for now, it’s New Year’s, I don’t want to get into all of that.”

Could there have been a falling out? Could she have left peacefully on her own terms? Both are possible. A little over a week later though, Tessa divulged more details in a new video titled, “Explaining Why I Left Team 10.”

She said, “It’s a really bittersweet thing for me, because I am thinking of what it once was for me. It’s a really sucky thing, it is what it is. You have to know when to let go…We’ve grown apart and we’re heading in different directions, and that’s totally OK. It’s not something that is right for me anymore. We just disagree on a lot of things. Things just aren’t how they used to be.”

She continued to talk about how her decision to not move into the new Team 10 house made things difficult and it seemed like that ultimately created a rift between her and the group. However, she made it clear that she wanted nothing but the best for Jake and the rest of the crew. But, there are details that she wasn’t going to share with the world surrounding her departure, which made it seem like there was more drama than she was letting on. Especially since Jake was caught on camera pushing the social media star.

“There are things that are personal and that I don’t need to be put out there” she added.

Why did Tristan Tales leave Team 10?

Tristan, like Tessa, kept his reasoning for leaving the group pretty vague. But, he too, made the announcement on New Year’s day.

He said, “2018 is about to be a ridiculous year. I’m so excited but you can’t start a new chapter unless you turn the page. Going into this new year, I will no longer be a part of Team 10. This was a really difficult decision for me to make but it was the best decision for myself and Team 10. I don’t want to get into too much detail about it right now.”

Why did Alissa Violet leave Team 10?

A lot of drama has gone down between Alissa and her Team 10 family. The blonde beauty and Jake dated at one point, but had one of the messiest breakups of all time. The couple seemed like they were picture perfect until one day, when Alissa uploaded a video of all of her stuff packed up. She claimed that Jake kicked her out of the Team 10 house and that she had nowhere to live.

Jake later accused Alissa of cheating on him via Twitter (with his brother, Logan Paul), but Alissa claimed that the relationship was never even real. She said Jake had “girl after girl over every single night in front of [her].” In the video, she also claimed that Jake played extreme mind games with her and that she’d cry herself to sleep every night of their relationship.

After that, Alissa moved on with YouTuber FaZe Banks. We thought the drama had finally ended, but when Jake uploaded a video claiming that his assistant Megan was assaulted by the vlogger, things just got worse. Alissa and FaZe denied these allegations, and even had multiple witnesses back up their claims that he was innocent. Alissa then opened up claimed that Jake physically abused her.

“Honestly, he did assault me a few times. If we never agreed on something or something would happen, he would spit on my face and this happened multiple times. About two years ago in Arizona, we were filming a video and he had a part where he had to shove me into like this bush [with] thorns. So he pushed me way too hard and shoved me all the way in the bush. This scar [on my arm] were from thorns and my entire arm was bleeding, he was laughing the whole time, I was crying. Another time, he took my phone and threw it at the wall, We got into a fight, I ran upstairs and he dragged me down the stairs,” Alissa claimed.

Why did Max Beaumont leave Team 10?

Max actually ditched Team 10 because he wanted to reveal his side of the story about what really went down the night that FaZe was accused of assaulting Jake’s assistant. And it’s nothing like Jake’s accusations.

He said in an interview with FaZe, “I believe that, if anything, you accidentally bumped into [Meg]. I can’t explain the bruise and she’s my best friend for seven years so it’s so hard for me to say this. But the way I saw you that night, I don’t see how it’s a possibility that you went from this nice guy who came over and gave me a hug someone who started swinging at her afterward.”

Why did Alex Lange leave Team 10?

Alex left the squad to simply pursue his dream of acting. He assured fans in a now-deleted video that there was no drama or gossip behind his departure, and he might even work on some projects with members of Team 10 in the future.

“Team 10 has been my family for the past two and a half years of my life, and I saw it grow into what it is today. So, as you guys could probably tell, this wasn’t really an easy decision to make. But after talking it through with the Team 10 family and others close to me, we all decided that it was the best next step for everyone. It’s something I spent a lot of time thinking through, and I’m finally ready to share,” he said. “The time has come for me to move on and move my career in another direction. Now, regardless of that, you may still see me collaborating with a few members from time to time on some special projects. I must say that I am really looking forward to the new direction that I’m taking and the opportunities on the horizon to carve my own path.”

Why did the Martinez Twins leave Team 10?

Emilio and Ivan took to YouTube to explain they quit Team 10 after dealing with constant bullying.

“Imagine you go somewhere where no one talks Spanish or your language and you see people in the house laughing and you don’t even know what they’re talking about. Then, you find out they were talking bull-s—t about you and laughing at you every single day. We were really upset. We used to love you Jake and loved Team 10, but not anymore,” the Twins alleged.

“I went to sleep scared. Eight months in one house going to sleep scared,” Ivan added.

Jake has since denied these claims, saying no one in Team 10 knew the twins were feeling this way, blaming their new manager for causing this major rift.

Why did the Dobre Twins leave Team 10?

The Dobre Twins, consisting of brothers Lucas and Marcus, uploaded a video explaining why they decided to leave Team 10. Despite rumors that they had bullied the Martinez Twins, Lucas and Marcus insisted they left because they were homesick and wanted to move back home. They said they missed their family and that there was no hate or bad blood between anyone they left behind in California.

“There have been some rumors going around and people think the reason why we left LA was because we were jealous of others, we were mad, we weren’t getting along with others, that we were even intimidated by others. But that’s completely false,” they said. “We did not hurt anyone’s feelings or disrespect anyone. Marcus and I are not angry at anyone or have any hard feelings towards anyone… That was the best decision emotionally, creatively, and mentally.”

Why did AJ Mitchell leave Team 10?

AJ left Team 10 with very little drama. He actually thanked the crew with a special shout-out on Instagram live.

“I just want to give a shout out and thank you to Team 10 because they’ve helped me get to where I am, like with followers and all that,” he said. “I’m not with Team 10 anymore but I really do appreciate Team 10 and everything they’ve done for me. I love every single person in that group to death, like a family still. And I’ll always support them no matter what.”

There have been plenty of web stars who have come and gone from Team 10, that’s for sure! We wonder what will happen with the newest members! Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
