Gary Fouchy details a severe business dispute with the Drinking Bros (Ross Patterson and Dan), alleging unpaid wages, stolen intellectual property, and financial retaliation including a Patreon suspension. The conflict escalated due to Ross Patterson's alleged abusive behavior toward staff, leaked private communications, and a failed attempt by Ross to blacklist Gary's ex-partner Jesse, which ultimately damaged Ross's own acting career.
Key takeaways 5
Financial Exploitation: Gary claims he worked 80 hours a week for only $250 per episode of 'Street Gonzo' while covering all production expenses out of pocket, leaving him with significant debt and no reimbursement.
Intellectual Property Theft: The Drinking Bros removed the entire first season of 'Street Gonzo' from their channel and claim ownership of the content and merch, despite Gary and his editor Joel creating the concept and footage.
Career Sabotage via Email Scandal: Ross Patterson sent an email to Hollywood producers claiming his ex-girlfriend Jesse 'Bellflowered' him (cheated) to get her blacklisted; this backfired, ruining Ross's acting career and forcing him into selling DVDs.
Platform Retaliation: The Drinking Bros allegedly used their contacts at Patreon to have Gary’s account suspended and funds frozen ($3,000+) under the false pretense of death threats.
Toxic Workplace Culture: Former employees describe Ross Patterson as abusive, citing a specific incident where he caused a producer to have a mental breakdown over minor disagreements about college sports.
