Bryan Stars Incident

On June 3, 2012, Never Shout Never was interviewed by BryanStars. Ingle requested that Stars ask questions pertaining to their music; Stars was instead asking questions that he deemed the fans wanted, such as what their "Porn-Star name" would be or the best way to "break up with a girl". Ingle ended the interview, stating that Stars made a "mockery" out of the bands that he interviewed and his questions were "bullshit", leaving Stars in tears. Ingle later claimed to have taken acid before the interview and was arrested for possession of marijuana later that day.^{[12][13][14][15]} On February 10, 2015, a third interview with Ingle alone was uploaded by Stars. Both stated that they had reconciled prior to the interview and are now on good terms.^[16]
