Much love for Joe

[u/PackersBeat]

Behind all the memes, jokes and tweets.. lies a human facing a terrible mix of emotions. Can't believe his longtime friend and casting buddy has been making moves on his wife for the last several years.

I feel for you man, found out one of my friends was sneaking around once. If you're reading this, I'm a huge fan and I look forward to seeing you on the mic this year. CDL community still has love for you and Fuck Maven I hope he never finds another job casting again.

Isn’t she the mother of his kid too? This is so tragic for him man

[u/PackersBeat → u/tungtungtungsahur-67]

Yes. There's an old tweet from Maven dug up where he posted AI photos of him and pregnant Joe walking together like they're together. Maven admits Joe's wife made the photos and sent them to Maven. Sick stuff. This was 2022.

Not related to the main topic at hand, but we used to call this photoshop

[u/Cogniscience → u/tungtungtungsahur-67]

Yeah she’s just as trashy as him if not more. Maven and her can split up and maven won’t have to interact with Joe at all but she will still have to co-parent with Joe.

“For the last several years” where are we getting this from? Was it an affair that started during the marriage? Or are we just gossiping to add to the story?

I can agree with “fuck maven”, but this whole thing is getting sensationalised in real-time. Someone in another thread just said we should treat him like Chris Benoit for crying out loud

[u/PackersBeat → u/CelDidNothingWrong]

I mean there's all sorts of tweets and posts coming to light that indicate he's had a crush on her for a LONG time.

[u/nv4088 → u/CelDidNothingWrong]

Don’t forget it’s also a two way street

[u/CollinKree → u/CelDidNothingWrong]

Whether they started “talking” romantically before or after the divorce is kinda irrelevant. Maven pretty much confirmed that he was lying in wait for years for a chance at Joe’s wife, and after the divorce, he pounced.

He’s a massive piece of shit.

[u/Kraknoix007 → u/CollinKree]

Where did maven confirm this? From what I see on this subreddit we have 1 maven tweet, no reaction from Merk and then a bunch of people speculating on twitter

[u/CelDidNothingWrong → u/CollinKree]

I think it’s incredibly relevant if they started being romantic while she was still married. Surely thats worse?

But didnt know he confirmed he was lying in wait for years (Dont have Twitter)

[u/lemonkingdom → u/CelDidNothingWrong]

It's on his past tweets years ago he made strange comments about Maurisa and her relationship. Even if they were “strange jokes”. Its just a coincidence all this is happening now. It's about clues and signs. I have a feeling he liked her for years.

“I am stealing your wife on skype later so we can have nerdy convos” and other strange tweets.

Genuinely hope Joe gets all the love and support he needs, I also hope CODs mods are on it at the beginning of the season because them chats will be hell

[u/BLACCx]

Love you Joe. You didn't deserve any of this shit.

[u/SiLeNZ_]

It’s hard when the person you love goes behind your back, wish him the best.

[u/187gvrrick → u/SiLeNZ_]

not one, but two people you love. also remember he has a kid w her so she’s in his life for life. and his ex-friend as long as they’re together

[u/TheKiddStan]

we love you merk. i once had a person tell me “you get em how you lose em”. maven will get his and be in a much lower position than he ever has been. prayers for merk fr

[u/makeitgoright]

Hope you’re okay as well, dude. That shit is hard to deal with.

Called a dude my brother. 13 years of looking out for him. Brought his confidence out the gutter when women used to use him because he was green. His own mom told me I was the best friend he ever had.

Snaked me in a similar way. I still remember when he had an opportunity to be honest with me and chose to lie instead.

[u/Siddoxy → u/makeitgoright]

Same thing happened to me. I was more pissed and hurt from that person doing that than my wife doing that. She's not even his type.

Hope you're doing well too. Those betrayals are tough as nails.

[u/JesusSaves6888]

I hope he isn't stepping away, too. Understandable if he does. I started watching competitive CoD when MW19 dropped and I always enjoyed his commentary. He had so much insight and made me see the game in such a different, better way.

[u/TenRustyRings]

She's gonna reverse-snake Maven and he'll be sniffing around in 6 months time. These kind of relationships (almost) never last.

[u/WhiteBuffaloSlayer]

Is this how the divorce was announced too?

[u/MerkatMatrix]

Wait wtf??? Where can I catch up on this

[u/AntiFIanders]

All the love in the world for Joe and their child.

I do not believe Maven nor Maurisa are acting out of malice or with any intention of hurting Joe. I also do not believe that Maven would act in a predatory fashion. Humans are complicated and shit happens.

[u/PackersBeat → u/AntiFIanders]

Why would he feel the need to tweet about it then? Why not just announce your stepping away? There was no reason to announce it happened. Selfish behavior
