While there was initially a strong online backlash against Jared, he has gradually recovered much of his original fan-base. He did this in a video he posted in August 2019, proving that the teenagers had lied about him ever sending them a picture, and that they had similarly manipulated others in the past. Jared intentionally left Normal Boots and asked that his fellow Youtubers dissociate themselves from him to protect their reputations until he was able to fight back. Heidi had been aware of and supported the porn website in the past, but in May 2019 she used the rumors surrounding it and her own accusations of adulterous behavior between Jared and Holly to create an atmosphere of distrust around him, forcing WotC to put DCA on hiatus. They then accused Jared of not having checked their age, and sent messages of warning to both Game Grumps and Normal Boots in March and April 2019. Meanwhile, two teenagers who had lied about their age to log onto an adult website where Jared had been exchanging nude pictures with other consenting adults, claimed to have fooled him into sending them a picture. In February 2018, with full permission from both Ross and Heidi, Jared and Holly were encouraged to explore a relationship, yet Heidi eventually withdrew consent and in October 2018 refused to allow Jared to break off their own marriage, threatening self-harm and to expose his and Holly's relationship in order to destroy DCA (in contrast, Ross continued to be supportive of Holly and Jared and moved out in August 2018). At the same time, Holly and her then husband Ross were amicably separating. Jared and Heidi had been in a troubled marriage despite counseling and a mutual agreement to allow outside physical relationships. Scandal accusations (**warning - spoilers for DCA follow**) He has also appeared in commercials for Final Fantasy and Magic: The Gathering. Jared made a cameo appearance in Nickelodeon's "Game Shakers" series. In 2017, Jared invited Holly, Ross, and several other members of Game Grumps (who had never played a tabletop RPG before) to take part in a 5E D&D campaign that he DM'ed, which they recorded for podcast and titled "Dragons in Places". Unfortunately, due to a neighbor's plumbing accident that damaged his home, he and his now ex-wife, cosplay artist Heidi O'Ferrall, were forced to relocate to Seattle, Washington in 2017. He moved to Los Angeles California in 2016, where he was able to hang out with fellow Waffle Crew member Holly Conrad and her then husband Ross O'Donovan, who was part of the video game review group Game Grumps. He joined Normal Boots after their relaunch in 2014, along with other well known YouTubers who he had worked with in the past. While working for ScrewAttack, he lived in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas, then split from them in 2012 to focus on his own series of videos, including ProReview, One Minute Review, and the Nuzlocke Pokemon challenge. He later began several series of online game reviews either on his own or as a member of ScrewAttack, including Nametags, Hard News, SideScrollers, and NewsRoom, and wrote episodes for ScrewAttack's Video Game Vault and Top Ten. His comedic facial expressions and sarcastic style won him a large internet following even before YouTube had become a part of popular culture. He posted his first game review in 2010 to make fun of "Two Worlds", which he felt was lacking honest reviews. He began posting videos on YouTube as "DMJared" in 2006, then later changed it to ProJared to apply to other game platforms. 1.1 Scandal accusations (**warning - spoilers for DCA follow**)īorn in Green Bay Wisconsin as the elder fraternal twin of Derek Knabenbauer (known on YouTube as DKlarations), Jared grew up playing early editions of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) with his brothers and their friends.
