Ben Kissel, co-host of The Last Podcast on the Left, has been absent from recent episodes of the show. According to his co-hosts, he is taking time away from the show to focus on his mental and physical health. While the official statement cites Bens break as a necessary step for his well-being, there have also been unverified allegations circulating regarding his past behavior in a relationship. These allegations, made by his former partner, have added complexity to the situation, although she has not directly named Ben in her claims. It remains unclear whether these allegations are directly related to Bens decision to step away from the show.
