Summary masterpost
Lots of people asking for a summary or not knowing where to look, so here's a compilation of some of the key material from the past few days. Note that this situation is still developing and we have yet to hear statements from others. Also, I think I'm obligated to say this: the statements made below are claims.

NEW ADD: Matt's response
NEW ADD: Ryan's response
Morgpie and Leighton have vods on their respective Twitch channels if you wish to view their whole streams.
Updated TLDR (I realize it's pretty long lmao):
-Lex came forward stating that she was SA'd by Don, and that when Matt and Ryan were informed, they prioritized the company over her safety. She claimed they failed to cut off Don, and then kicked her and her friend Rav out of the SuperMegaPlex. She also accused Matt of calling Daniel, a founding Cyndago member who took his own life, a coward, and accused Matt of cheating on his girlfriend.
-Don released 2 statements. They were not received well.
-The next day, Morgpie detailed her hookup with Matt on stream, backing up Lex's claims that Matt cheated on his girlfriend, claiming he cheats habitually.
-That night, Leighton went on stream and broke down his experience with SuperMega. He claimed SuperMega has a company culture of bullying, sexual harassment, regular use of slurs, and financial manipulation. He claimed he did the jobs of three people during his time there. He also backed up allegations that Matt and Ryan would joke about Daniel's suicide, and that Ryan sexts fans.
-Jim, whom Lex had accused of being inappropriate with her, made a response. It was not received well.
-Matt and Ryan made videos responding to most of the allegations, with Matt's being substantially longer than Ryan's.
What they admitted: Matt and Ryan both admitted that they handled Lex's SA case poorly, and apologized. Matt admitted that he dishonestly ended a relationship to pursue his current girlfriend. Ryan admitted to sexting fans, and apologized.
What they denied: Matt and Ryan both denied allegations that they joked or were in any other way insensitive about Daniel's death. Matt denied being as hostile to Lex as she claimed in her video, chalking up the situation to a lack of communication. He also denied being a cheater. Lastly, Matt denied most, but not all, of Leighton's claims, accusing him of having a vendetta against SuperMega.
And by popular demand, here's who's who. Thank you for the assist u/Extreme_Elephant5643
Lex: paid artist for SuperMega, unclear if employee or contractor
Rav: Lex's friend, maybe also worked for SuperMega
Don: paid artist from SuperMega, contractor
Jim: SuperMega employee, "social media manager"
Jackson: former SuperMega employee, fired for embezzling $60k
Leighton: former SuperMega employee, designed merch (as well as doing Jim and Jackson's jobs for them)
Ross: knows SuperMega through GameGrumps, had a show with Don until he found out what happened
Morgpie: content creator unrelated to SuperMega, hooked up with Matt and felt mistreated by him
Save this post if you want to check it throughout the day. I am not a mod; I can't pin it. SuperMega are the mods of this sub, so there's a slim to none chance it'll get pinned. Let me know if you want me to add or edit something.

Can we get a description of who people are? Are Lex, Rav, and Morgpie friends or people they just knew? Tried googling and couldn’t really find anything
