He said, “After giving them 20 years of laughs loyalty & his life, @kroq just s**t-canned my Babble brother @RalphGarman because of budget cuts. But worse? They won’t let Ralph say WHY he’s fired on @kevinandbean today!” Thus sparking the uproar.

Eventually, Garman cleared the air saying, “It’s not because of inappropriate sexual behavior in any way. That’s the world we live in now. That’s crazy.”
