I'm super curious of what he is up to. Such a change from rubbing elbows with some big Disney Exec's on DCL Concierge level cruises only a bit ago. Remember it is only January, anything can happen, it wouldn't shock me if after the Amex stuff gets settled, he tries to reappear as the victim in all of this.
At this point it, the way the last 6 months have played out, I've moved from believing there is no way he could come back to now I think there is a small chance he comes back.
John and company knew about the Amex thing for quite some time and Pete was still allowed to be Pete. So I agree the Amex thing was not a deal breaker for them. Perhaps Amex gets resolved and they then do some sort of "Pete's gone to rehab tour". I think Pete has more sense than John and Kevin and would probably hire a PR person to come up with some sort of plan to spin the whole thing, where nothing he did was wrong, and if it was it was because he was spiraling in addiction. Pete would love the idea of having his own PR person.
Why do I feel this way. A large part is that the product has been terrible and the numbers are crashing. As insane as it is, do I think Pete would do more views and drive more traffic. Yes I do. Its the bottom line, it always is.
Plus, they've never actually came out and said anything bad about Pete. They never addressed the underlying issues. If you recall John and Kevin were the actual victims because some people were making comments on their IG.
Sure, Ryno and Craig made some backhanded comments, but those two will be like Wormtail, when Voldemort returns. They will come back sniveling back. We all know it.
