This strange Friends conspiracy theory about Ross and his son Ben is simply awful
This'll definitely change the way you watch the popular series
THERE’S a pretty bizarre theory about Ross from Friends’ relationship with his son Ben.
If the alternative plotline that Chandler Bing was DEAD for the whole of Friends wasn’t disturbing enough, this storyline surely will freak you out.
A major plothole of Friends has become a big talking point online in recent weeks.
Many fans are asking why Ross’ son Ben was no longer mentioned in the script, even when the family welcomed in another child.
Some nerdy viewers have even noticed that Ben’s name was only mentioned six times in a whopping 54 episodes of the show.
Reddit user smokingcage has come up for an explanation to why Ben isn’t in the final two series of the popular US sitcom.
The conspiracy theorist believes that Ross lost custody of Ben when series eight ended.
Redditors were gripped by the idea that the comic character was forced to give up his son because of his lack of fatherly behaviour.
The poster claims that Ben was taken out of Ross’ care following his stupid decisions.
His irresponsible behaviour of series eight includes attempting to scare his female friends with a self-defence instructor… and even trying to smooch his own cousin.

The Reddit post reads: "Did Ross's insanity hit a breaking point with his ex-wife?
“Could she no longer handle his nice guy syndrome and homophobic snickering? Did she decide to take full custody of her son?
"Did Ross even fight her for Ben, or just let him go, shifting his focus to the new baby he had with the woman of his obsession? He couldn't even handle his daughter having a male caregiver."
