Backlash erupted after Jasleen Singh’s latest Main Character Podcast, as Myron Gaines resurfaced an old feud with Akaash Singh and turned a candid chat with co-host Nehal Tenany into the week’s messiest viral blowup.

A messy podcast clip, a viral compilation, and an old YouTube beef all crashed into each other this week. Comedian Akaash Singh’s wife, Jasleen Singh, caught some heat over a new episode of her show, and Fresh&Fit’s Myron Gaines used it to reopen a grudge from 2022. Here’s what actually happened and why everyone is yelling.

What kicked this off

Jasleen co-hosts the Main Character Podcast with her friend Nehal Tenany. Their latest episode went for the overshare gold: they joked about threesomes and orgies, Jasleen said she was attracted to Tenany’s husband, and at one point they laughed while talking about his private parts. She also riffed on relationship finances and told stories about her college sex life.

That clip alone would have stirred things up, but a fan-made compilation on X spliced those moments with one of Jasleen’s older TikToks, where she said she’d been living her “best life in these white boy frat houses.” It got traction for all the wrong reasons and started making the rounds with a lot of side-eye.

Enter Myron Gaines (and the old feud)

Myron Gaines, co-host of Fresh&Fit, jumped in right away. Under one of Jasleen’s videos, he commented:

"I hate being right all the time."

That wasn’t random. Back in 2022, Gaines and his Fresh&Fit co-host Walter Weekes went on Flagrant, the podcast hosted by Akaash Singh and Andrew Schulz. While explaining his public spat with rapper Asian Doll, Gaines brought up that they don’t date Black women. Singh and Schulz pressed them, calling their whole act “corny” and “childish,” and arguing they should be better role models. Gaines and Weekes mostly laughed it off and didn’t defend their own content, which drew more backlash in the moment.

The new shots fired

After Jasleen’s compilation went viral, Gaines saw an opening and went harder on X on November 7, 2025. He posted an edited clip of Jasleen’s comments and wrote:

"I’m never wrong about these women…"

He coupled that with additional posts and on-air commentary that included derogatory insults aimed at Singh and Schulz. The tone was ugly enough that the language itself became part of the story.

Akaash responded by resurfacing their 2022 clash with a clip and a line that kept it simple:

"My man out here getting triggered by jokes."

Gaines doubled down with more posts and segments about Jasleen’s behavior. Akaash didn’t engage further after that.

Jasleen’s response

Jasleen took to Instagram to address the backlash without naming Gaines. She said it bothered her that people were taking commentary from what she called “red pill podcast guys” at face value, and she told critics not to listen to “cockroaches and parasites.” She also called out a double standard: Akaash makes jokes about her in his stand-up all the time and nobody bats an eye, because they both joke at each other’s expense. She compared the pile-on to the groupthink dynamic in the 2022 movie Don’t Worry Darling, implying a lot of folks online are just parroting whatever fits their outrage that day.

What was actually in that podcast episode

If you didn’t sit through the whole thing, here are the beats people keep reacting to:

  • Jasleen and Nehal joked about threesomes and orgies; Jasleen said she’s attracted to Nehal’s husband and cracked a joke about his anatomy.
  • The viral X compilation mixed those comments with Jasleen’s older TikTok about living her “best life in these white boy frat houses.”
  • She talked about past experiences from college and how she views money dynamics in relationships.
  • She listed her celebrity “hall passes”: The Boys star Chace Crawford, Jacob Elordi, and Austin Butler.

Big picture

On its face, this is a spicy podcast episode that hit a nerve. The twist is the YouTube creator score-settling: Gaines clearly used it to re-litigate that 2022 Flagrant moment with Akaash and Schulz. That’s why this escalated from a messy clip to an all-out week-long argument across podcasts and X.
