The Whitney Event

The Whitney Event is an event that happened within the squad in August 2015. A major event that in itself nearly broke apart the squad.

Lead-up
Whitney's long-term girlfriend, Ella, had recently moved to Melbourne. Shortly after, the relationship ended leaving Whitney damaged for some time. Whitney had progressively regressed into a more depressed, less functional person than before. Complaining about her employment status, minor family issues and other small issues which irritated the rest of the group.

The Fallout
The main issue came up when Whitney complained about her problems one too many times to the group. Because no one else was willing to speak up, Brad was the one that called her out. She responded negatively of course, saying it's not easy and leaving the group chat. Almost simultaneously, Ella made a post on Tumblr documenting the pitfalls of their relationship. The lying, manipulating and abuse detailed was too much for much of the squad, which felt disgusted by it. Brad compared it heavily to his relationship with Eden. The two events together had the squad together agreeing that Whitney would no longer be apart of their group.

Aftermath
After the fallout, many things were change. /sqg/ became deserted and many musical projects underwent changes. The JOJites had lost a major member, DJ Polistae, and TW Records had disbanded. The squad chat however was unaffected and the majority of the squad remain certain that this was the right decision.

Trivia
