In a video, Ludwig explained he had a few too many drinks while on the Cold Ones podcast - a parody of the popular YouTube series Hot Ones.

It’s very normal for guests and the hosts of the podcast to drink alcohol during the show, leading to Ludwig getting tipsy during the broadcast.

“I knew this going in,” he said in his video, This YouTube Leak Almost Ruined My Career.

Ludwig explained that he planned on only having eight drinks during the episode but got caught up in a beer-chugging competition.

He ended up drinking more than he planned and, at some point in the night, got undressed.

“Is there a reason for me whipping out my b*****k? No, but I was really f*****g p**s drunk and I thought it would be funny.”

The hosts of the podcast, Chad Roberts and Maxwell Stanley - known as anything4views and maxmoefoe respectively - reached out to Ludwig, informing him that there was an uncensored version of the video on their Patreon account.

Because of a miscommunication between Ludwig and Roberts, the video wasn’t censored and Ludwig’s private area was visible to the Cold Ones Patreon viewers.

Ludwig trended on Twitter after the incident with thousands of tweets discussing his body, leaving him feeling uncomfortable.

“I think b***s are funny, but I have had privilege for the entirety of my steaming career of being a guy,” he said. 

“I experienced in a very small way what it must be like to be a woman because I don’t want my b******k to be sexualized.”

Ludwig also revealed that he lost a sponsorship deal because of the incident.

“I will say, I did lose a sponsor because my n**s got out,” he said.

“A sponsor did back out of a deal because they saw that my n**s were leaked, and now they’re out. So that’s a little bit of an L.”

Aside from the mess, Ludwig said he’s taking the situation in stride and added that the Cold Ones hosts apologized to him for the error.

“I’m not mad at Chad at all,” said Ludwig. “He is an idiot but I’m not mad at him.

He added that if anyone came across the leaked image should “take it to the grave.”

“Don’t come to me with that h***y energy, all right? I refute it. I throw it right back at you.”
