Cody Ko steps down

YouTuber Cody Kolodziejzyk, known as Cody Ko, has resigned from daily operations at his podcast company, TMG Studios, following allegations made by influencer Tana Mongeau that they had sexual relations when she was 17 and he was 25. Mongeau's claims, initially made in a joking context, have sparked significant backlash against Ko, resulting in a loss of around 250,000 subscribers over the past month. TMG Studios announced Ko's departure in a post sent to employees, emphasizing that the decision was made to alleviate any impact on the team's professional lives due to the ongoing controversy. Co-founder Noel Miller will take over Ko's management responsibilities, and the statement made no reference to the allegations or Ko's future plans for addressing them. Despite calls from fans for a response, Ko has remained silent on the matter since Mongeau's initial revelation.
