I would have more respect if he had left after his first upcoming show, but he looks bad leaving before this first show, he should have weighed that out.
Correct. “It’s ok to be disloyal if something isn’t right for you” What bro?? You mean it was right when you were getting paid to do fuck all now it’s not right because you have obligations to the brand. Don’t know why Justin thinks anyone looks up to him. They dont
he used fouad and the podcast to stay relevant during his off season and then dumps it pre contest. PATHETIC imo. He’s already super successful in his weed business so it doesn’t make sense. Fouad needs to stop lending the HELPING HAND. 🖕🤣
Disappointed in him tbh, like it or not fouad & hosstile made him, nobody knew him. Got paid for a year to sit on his ass, now feels he's big enough to go alone, unfortunately fouad & the podcast give these bbs a huge platform, once they leave they soon realise this.
"sit on his ass" but he runs and owns his own business, he doesnt just sit around all day eating and sleeping like the rest of the bodybuilders... He speaks about that on the podcast every once in awhile...
Hosstile business ideology was all good for Justin while he was getting paid to take a year off. Now it’s time to compete and actually pay the company back and he can’t be assed. Pathetic.
you obviously have no idea why he left, why are you speculating. None of his athletes stick around. Samson will be next wait and see.. and he never took a year off he has been working at his own business gym and farm to support himself. Fouad signed him on as an amateur and i guarantee he was getting paid enough to "take a year off"
@@stevonkoch8002 Brett and Nick left. Both Jansen guys. Nick left for exactly the same reason. Couldn’t be fucked doing fan obligations. You are purely speculating too
I would have more respect for Justin if he had left AFTER his first pro show , but it’s like he rode this out and took the money while he was taking a year off. I would have more respect for him if he had left after a couple of pro shows. Nick did the same thing, didn’t want to make appearances or be at a booth for a couple hours , but wanted a check . Yes Fouad wanted workout videos and other meal videos posted , but that’s part of getting paid and being part of a team ! It’s a hassle yes but it pays the bills !
If you listen to Hany and Fouad it does sound like Fouad expects a lot more than most companies. Almost has to be true if you look at the trail of former athletes. Nick is too big to be pushing around but Justin is not yet . You need a million followers before you can become a princess!! Lol still gotta give it to Fouad for sticking to his guns and not getting walked on . I personally watch his podcast. I couldn’t care less where Justin goes and does . If he’s on the bro chat I’ll be there but that it
@@steveymcneckbeard if he dont care about money but does care about clout..... he never leaves Hosstile. I am thinking he does not like having a boss. Owning your own business proves he values independence and not interested in "working for the man"
age and maturity? fouad is the one always throwing negative comments towards justin on the show. like a jealous kid trying to keep someone down for their own ego sake
Justin turned out to be a snake all the same! He really didn’t address any of the issues that people might have like it was all good for the two years when you were nobody but now that you’re somebody you don’t align with the brand? Just come out and say the truth, Justin, you used it as a steppingstone, and now you’re moving on.
@@RedLightsGreenLights You don't know FA about the situation that's why I laughed because people like you are funny because you have no dog in this hunt at all yet you act as though you were personally wronged or something !?
Only if you actually provide value and are interesting, or one of the best in the world. The brands can help you grow, but if you really want to explode you've got to have the personality drive or wins. Simple as that.
Paid to train, paid to work, now it’s time to hit the stage, Nope, now I want out…like Nick, Nick didn’t want do anything except sitting on the sofa and training, he didn’t want to guest pose or sell the product, he didn’t even have a Passport…Justin wouldn’t be where he is if it wasn’t for Hosstile.
Is that really what's going on here? Nick seems like he puts out alot of content, not sure on Justin. I don't watch his content as closely. I feel deep down there's more going on here...
To be fair to Justin, I don’t think he needed the money to be able to continue his bodybuilding career. Yeah he should have done a show, but oh well. I’m sure the money wasn’t the only issue
Justin played hostile during his bulk. Now that it’s time for prep he’s playing the field. Reminds me of dumping the high school chick to see what’s out there at the college campus.
I might be bias. There has been a track record of athletes leaving hosstile on bad terms. So it makes us wonder what kind of person Fouad is behind closed doors. When he competed, he was know as being a sh*t person... It's likely that characteristics carries on into other things in his life.
He will get forgotten and end up becoming another one of the 100s of IFBB pros who get forgotten (unless ofcourse, he really does something extraordinary and makes a name for himself.). Most of his "popularity" came from his appearance on the podcast, period. He was a funny dude and a great guest on the podcast, no doubt, but it is to be seen what he can pull off on the pro stage as a competitor now.
It sounds like the Hosstile contract limited the athletes from promoting their own personal brand. But it's all just speculation until someone actually comes out and spills the real tea.
Honestly, Justin took the benefits when he was new and less marketable during off season. Gained a great reputation on the podcast and now ditched those that built him up. Fouad is now gaining bank on Sam Sulek and Justin is now seen as a regular mid tier bodybuilder. I think he made a mistake, but showed true colours.
Blah blah blah. Another nobody made big because of fouad and you don’t want to “work” for it. It’s clear if you listen to hanys podcast with fouad. Get it in writing that you can do other things while being signed and on the podcast.
@@bodybuildingnewsnetwork I’m not defending the “brand”. I’m defending fouad for making him who he is. Let’s be honest. Nobody knew who he was. Nobody said anything about Brett either. Both nobody’s who used fouads platform and then bounce because you don’t want to work. You want to wear a hosstile shirt and carry a shaker and that’s just enough. Justin benefits from the podcast. The podcast doesn’t NEED Justin as it is the best bodybuilding podcast and channel online. I’m defending fouad for being used for his platform just long enough so they can go off on their own leaving fouad behind and screwing his investment in them. There’s a word called loyalty. Loyalty isn’t a word anyone knows now a days. Unless someone comes out and says something specific and gives a good reason for Leaving. I’m gonna look at them as unloyal as fuck and I’m not the type of person who keeps company with disloyal selfish people. Watch I put money on it he goes to RAW….as raw poached another person fouad put on the map. Justin would still be a NOBODY without the podcast in the bodybuilding world. I just have a serious problem with people who lack loyalty and it was another case where someone would rather bail on fouad instead of working it out.
You take a nobody, make him popular and then he leaves you because he doesn't want to fulfill his duties. Fouad should stick to people who have actually competed and had respectable placings
I think if Justin had done a couple of shows and then left , I would have so much more respect for him . Hostile and Brochat paid you for a year to get your size built up and be ready for pros plus helped make him very popular before his first pro show and he leaves ?I hope the karma works it’s way around. Fouad genuinely cares about his athletes but he does expect a certain amount of content to be shot plus meet and greets which many pros are probably already attending at the big shows. It’s a job that’s why you get paid.
@@stevonkoch8002 EXACTLY... he is speaking like he is Fouad's best friend and knows everything. There is a reason so many athletes left that company/contract
i always saw him as narcissist,i swear i loved justin the most on the podcast and always commenting that he was my favorite after roman stopped joining but i always saw how he acts towards fouad and i saw narcissist behavior i knew this day will come that he would leave,look at samson whata loyal humble chad he should ambassador of the sport
@@bodybuildingnewsnetwork I have to disagree. You look like the skinny nerd that was picked on in high school. And not much has changed into your adulthood with those glasses either.
@@TeeTee-zm2re exactly all these people thinking these bodybuilders are friends are so naive. It's like school friends. You have like 10-15 "friends" but you only stay in contact with one or two after school. Acquaintances is a better word.
The reality is, we’re never going to know the full story with Justin and Fouad, because of the legalities of what they can and can’t say. Both of them released very vague statements that don’t really tell the viewers anything, other than they’re still mutually on semi-good terms. That all said, I don’t agree with Justin’s departure, which seems like he’s used Fouad as leverage to a degree for his betterment . I’m not saying Justin is the type of person who is disingenuous, however; it’s not a good look either. That said, in terms of Fouad, the amount of turnover he has had has been disturbing, and I think it will definitely make other athletes think twice in the future before signing.
Dam I'm so disappointed why am just learning this now! Justin so sad! Money says that Matt Jensen got in his ear and bet he randomly signs with raw and revive like bret wilkin.
offcourse he didnt adress your video. Man hope we get Nick trigili channel back soon. Nick is like a journalist that does research and gets inside information to report.
He said he moved away coz he felt somthing was not right. So yeah its a great thing he did becoz only one can decide whats ok and whats not. Most of the agreements are self centred making only brand to grow in right direction so if something is hindering ones potential to grow its better to call it a day. Best wishes to Justin for commin and clearing things in a very gentle manner. Hope he grows and reach his destination soon.
It sounds like a lot of this has to do with fouad’s time expectations for his athletes - standing 8 hrs at a booth etc at Olympia - no bro. Just cause he had to do it … well ya never made first call out fouad so maybe not the way to go with your people. It must be a rough contract - I’m glad James and Iain aren’t signed and simply do the podcast - seems cleaner
Fouad is very very insecure. He is very bipolar. He seems like a nice guy on the show but he can go to 100 in a second for no reason. That's why he had that bad image before he started his channel. He was notorious for bad behavior back in the day. There's a reason so many athletes fall out with him. You don't see any other brand having such fallouts so many times.
