Tentatively, the accusations seem to be primarily coming from Dani Porter Bridges:







Edit: There's an argument to be made that "cancelled" is the wrong term since Ismail's termination of employment so far seems to be voluntary. I accept the correction.

Edit: replaced deleted tweet with screenshot.

 

[Alexious]

Cancelled what?

 

[EviLore]

Danger hair does not equal discretion, gents.

 

[iconmaster]

Cancelled what?

Sorry, character limits. Ashraf is the cancellation object, not the subject.

 

[Coolwhhip]

Yeah I'm sure this was to warn other women. Maybe this girl got her feelings hurt? Gottem though!

 

[SaucyJack]

Dude cheats on his wife?

Not a good look for him and I'm sure his wife ain't too pleased, but wtf has this got to do with his job or this game?

 

[PresetError]

So cheating on your wife now gets you fired at work too? WHAT?

 

[cormack12]

Wow

 

[scalman]

so i get it he need to deal with life problems. ok . but what he cancelled ? his job ?

 

[Rikkori]

That's why you pay for it if you're married, especially as a public figure. Can't get all sentimental and shit trying to have relationships in different towns. It's Canada not France.

 

[iconmaster]

so i get it he need to deal with life problems. ok . but what he cancelled ? his job ?

More or less that, yes.

 

[GHG]

This is not the Porter Bridges I remember...

 

[Bartski]

yikes

 

[TheContact]

He wasn't fired. He stepped down, likely to focus on his family and the fallout that's coming from his wife finding out he's been cheating on her. I don't see this as being "cancelled".

 

[Jooxed]

Dude lied about being married to get some strange, you got played. Get over it, don't be so naive with the next when you see a wedding ring in the picture and buy that excuse.

 

[Coolwhhip]

Where are the days where your personal problems, were your personal problems? Cheating on your wife and twitter court fires you from your job? Pathetic man.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Gosh. Dude cheated and now his wife, job, and maybe kids are gone. Cheating is bad, but this feels like it could be a case of public shaming in order for a streamer to gain some followers. She clearly said he never assaulted her. Also, the fact that she posted his private DM asking to talk things over says a lot about her character.

 

[mckmas8808]

So cheating on your wife now gets you fired at work too? WHAT?

Clearly there's no going on. He wouldn't step down so fast, if it was only him cheating on his wife.

Where are the days where your personal problems, were your personal problems? Cheating on your wife and twitter court fires you from your job? Pathetic man.

There's no such thing as a Twitter court. Stop being silly.

[DonPedro]

So, this guy lied on a relationship, because is a married person... neither assaulted nor abused anyone..

.. and he deserved to be cancelled from this job?

So, what about women which are on multiple relationships without the other partner/man to know about it? Do they deserve same treatment or what?

Hillarious

 

[SaucyJack]

Wow

She doxxed him?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I don't think that rises to the level of cancellation... unless I'm missing something.

Edit: Better question - what does cancelled even mean anymore? I honestly don't know.

 

[Nankatsu]

The dude sticked his hidden blade where he shouldn't.

 

[nush]

Dude cheats on his wife?

Not a good look for him and I'm sure his wife ain't too pleased, but wtf has this got to do with his job or this game?

Exactly, it's shaggers regret from her. Also I'm guessing they worked together, another example of don't screw the crew.

 

[GHG]

Wow

Would she run to twitter about this if he wasn't in the public eye?

I think not.

These bitches can get fucked.

 

[Mendax]

Would she run to twitter about this if he wasn't in the public eye?

I think not.

They did, and that's the problem!

 

[BlackM1st]

Lmao, poor fucker. Eh, game will be a mediocre at best, so I don't care.

 

[iconmaster]

So cheating on your wife now gets you fired at work too? WHAT?

This is a bit different from other #metoo cancellations for this reason. There's no accusations of harassment, just adultery and concomitant deception. I'm torn here between my usual disgust at trial-by-Twitter and also thinking the guy probably needs to face some consequences.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Clearly there's no going on. He wouldn't step down so fast, if it was only him cheating on his wife.

Looks like custody for his children could be a thing. Legal stuff is probably why he's stepping down.

 

[Sub_Level]

So cheating on your wife now gets you fired at work too? WHAT?

It sounds like he's intentionally stepping down, since his family life is ruined right now. Not so much that some Ubisoft executive was like "hey buddy, sorry but you gotta go".

 

[Coolwhhip]

They did, and that's the problem!

The problem is most likely he stopped fucking her

 

[spawn]

Doesn't sound like he was cancelled. Looks like he is stepping down to deal with family issues. Kinda messed up that she is putting all of his dirty laundry out in the public eye

 

[Grinchy]

I wonder how many times she fucked him after finding out he was married.

 

[Hudo]

Dude cheats on his wife?

Not a good look for him and I'm sure his wife ain't too pleased, but wtf has this got to do with his job or this game?

It might be a precautionary step taken by Ubisoft marketing. He's closely associated with the AC franchise (since he's a director) and they probably want to avoid any negativity associated with AC.
Gotta say, dude played himself when he lied about being married. But it's still shitty to make this public on Twitter because she knows that this will inevitably invite the mob.

 

[nush]

Clearly there's no going on. He wouldn't step down so fast, if it was only him cheating on his wife.

Resign or your fired perhaps?

 

[Thirty7ven]

WOW

So it's not about men abusing women anymore, it's open season for anything a woman might feel wronged about.

Holy shit

 

[Punished Miku]

This is why you always have a mistress who knows you're in a relationship and just wants something on the side. I guess he just expected her to lie for him at work after he lied to her?

Either way, this sounds stupid.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[docbot]

I doubt he was cancelled or fired by ubisoft. Probably his decision.

 

[iconmaster]

He wasn't fired. He stepped down, likely to focus on his family and the fallout that's coming from his wife finding out he's been cheating on her. I don't see this as being "cancelled".

Doesn't sound like he was cancelled. Looks like he is stepping down to deal with family issues.

These are fair points and I accept the correction.

Edit: I've reported my own thread for a title adjustment.

I think you're overreacting to the story. Did you read his own Tweet? He got caught cheating and now his personal life is in shambles so he stepped down to focus on his family.

 

[Andodalf]

Sounds more like a Tiger Woods situation than a cancel culture one

 

[NinjaMouse]

Taking it public is pure garbage. You wanna get back at him, send those screenshots to his wife and deal with it privately. Posting it on twitter is colossal horse shit.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

He cheated. So you deal with this shit in private, not on Twitter for the world to see. But let's be honest, the chick he cheated with putting this out there more than likely only wants the attention that's coming from this, especially since there was no abuse as confirmed by her.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

As someone who's been cheated on multiple times the LAST thing I want to see is more of your face. Dude just gave up his job only to probably get divorced, so now he's gonna be broke and single.

 

[Ascend]

I wonder if making this public can make someone accountable for defamation.

 

[B-universe]

I'm sorry, what?

The consequences he might need to face will be determined by the parties involved: him, his wife and his mistress, consequences restricted to the private lives of all of them. It's nobody else's business.

Please name the good reasons for this throwback to Victorian Puritanism, hey? Is this going to be the new requirement, directors can't be adulterous?

2020.
What a year.

 

[Kadve]

so i get it he need to deal with life problems. ok . but what he cancelled ? his job ?

Seems to be a meme right now to refer to "denounced" as "cancelled". Don't ask me why or how it started.

The issue is that the end result is the same.

Trial by twitter, negative impact on the guys career, shattered families, etc.

And all of that before the other party has the opportunity to give their side of the story. If she really cared about his wife/family and them potentially being hurt she has 2 rational options:

A) end it with him immediately and cut all ties.

and/or

B) call or meet his wife to inform her of what's been going on.

Instead she wants to do this in a way that puts her in the spotlight. Don't get it twisted, she doesn't care about anyone else, she doesn't care about his family, she's doing this so that she can get attention now that she's bored of his dick.

It's disgusting and these people know what they are doing. They are hurt because the relationship didn't (or was never going to) work out and this is their way of lashing out.

The only upside to this is the fact that in the process these women are inadvertently outing themselves. Any sensible guy now knows to stay away.

 

[EviLore]

Only if it's not true.
