This may be the diciest week in the life of the diciest standup comedian: Brendan Schaub.
A while back Schaub hired an eccentric roided up bodybuilder call Mark Harley as both on camera and production assistance. The job spec expand to Harley being his gopher, social media handler, valet etc.
Harley got fed up and ignored an out of hours text message from his master. Schaub fired him, and Harley went scorched earth. He is touring all the outlets, spilling tea like a majestic diva.
His surprising criticisms of Schaub include:
- Brendan is narcissistic
- He is a pathalogical liar.
- He is difficult to work for.
The subreddit run by MadTV star Bobby Lee -
https://www.reddit.com/r/thefighterandthekid/ - is having a field day with it. Harley joined originally to defend Schaub but he appears to have fallen under the spell of the TFATK trolls and gone native, mimicking their idioms and in-jokes.
He did a phone interview with Redbar radio.
He's been posting private message screenshots when Schaub tried to defuse things. His reddit account has almost 100,000 comment karma points at this stage because the redditors are enjoying the entertainment and validation. Harley may be getting off on the attention, venting, and sweet vengeance.
He did a reddit AMA that got 5000 comments:

Harley does two hour Skype interview with 'The MMA-Holes':

Harley used Schaubs twitter account to promote the interview. Given he did that after being fired,
he may have committed a computer crime. Then he bragged about it on reddit:
1,737 votes and 638 comments so far on Reddit

Schaub is somewhat litigious, so this is wild behaviour by Mark Harley. He's been desperate to supress claims that he tries to pickup chicks despite being a married father. Schaub did DMCAs against people for footage he does not own, and sued unflattering commentary channels for copywrite violation.
