Another user, ‘FakeFeminist,’ claimed Arden opposed equal pay for a female voice actor, citing his role in selling the book as justification for higher pay. As a result of their meetings, she confided in him about her divorce, which sparked their “spicy” chats.
He apparently “threw a fit” during one of their chats because she thought something he said while “s*xting” was funny. Additionally, it was said that he became “hostile” towards her when she did not react the way he had hoped.
THIS IS SO FREAKING DISGUSTING 😭

According to a Tailgram user “No more BS,” their experience was identical to that of “No longer protecting him.” Joe Arden was accused of “guilt tripping” and “manipulating” the Tailgram user into providing him pictures and videos.
After they declined to collaborate with them, Arden reportedly wrote them “threatening business emails.”
