At the age of 16, Christofer became a vegetarian,[10] and eventually a vegan.[11]

Bryan Stars incident

On June 3, 2012, Never Shout Never was interviewed by BryanStars. Ingle ended the interview early, calling his show a "joke" and that 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, another interview with Ingle was uploaded by Stars. Both stated that they had reconciled prior to the interview and are now on good terms.[16]
