This one in particular sticks out like a sore thumb. Herbert never mentioned anything about his family ending his relationship with Michael. His main comments alluded to Michael's staunch atheism being a reason they broke up (based on a profile post he made) and he was still in contact with Michael after the fact. Michael was also the one who kept asking or insisting he would get back together with Herbert despite Herbert claiming he was dating imu_fuso.
Once again, the focus on Michael is weird since all things considered, he was only accidentally found through comments on Herbert's videos. The only thing Michael tried doing during the Herbert exposure is releasing a fake face dox to throw off the investigation.
