Starfield leads Borderlands star to dump influencer girlfriend

Starfield isn't out yet and it's already causing break ups, as Borderlands movie actor Bobby Lee split up with Khalyla due to wanting to spend time with the RPG

www.pcgamesn.com

Actor and comedian Bobby Lee – who is in the upcoming Borderlands movie – recently broke up with his girlfriend, influencer Khalyla, and one of the reasons he gave was the imminent Starfield launch.

Bobby Lee and Khalyla split in July, as they announced on their joint podcast. Lee, who plays new character Larry in the Borderlands movie, joined podcaster Ryan Sickler for an interview and explained some of the reasons for the breakup.

One of the reasons Lee cites is that “Starfield is going to come out in about eight months” – possibly, especially if you believe fan theories. After explaining that it’s the next game from the creators of Fallout and Skyrim, Lee states that “I know when Starfield comes out I’m going to be playing that thing 16 hours a day.”

“I don’t want to be in a relationship where they’re like, ‘we’re going to the park,’ and I don’t want to do that,” he states. “If you want to go to the park with your friends, I’m all for that. From now on, I think like I’m just going to be alone.”

I can relate. I was engaged to a girl towards the end of college who told me that the video games were the first thing to go due to how much money I wasted on it. Dumped her right after that.
The funny thing is, she married a car nut who has a dedicated garage out back and a couple of classic cars he rebuilt. He has easily spent more on one of his cars than I have ever spent on gaming combined.

Yeah but you can sell those cars for a profit

Have you seen the retro games market lately? I could sell those games, consoles, and (strangely enough) Amiibos and make a tidy little profit.

It was a different reason.

Was this before or after the delay?

I was just about to post how after I took a dump a min ago I wiped THREE TIMES! Usually I do FIVE .. I mean how crazy is that?!

Not really the main reason. His girlfriend manipulated him while he was going through drug problems to open their relationship so she could sleep around without permission. He was just joking on the podcast that he's relieved he's single again so he can game all day long without the drama.

Thanks. Was going to point this out.

Khalyla is hot, famous and from California. That's like.... the norm. She wants a steady income.... But also good D. Bobby Lee was not able to do that.

Don't they still live together and sleep in the same bed? Will surely end well

Bobby Lee is awful, he has to rely on his stereotype act to get any kind of laugh. He was the worst part of MAD TV.

I had no idea Bobby lee was still acting

I have no idea who the fuck Bobby Lee and Khalyla are… I looked them up and… still nothing… seriously….

<steps up to the mic - taps it - feedback…>

WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY AND WHY SHOULD WE CARE?!?

 

[MightySquirrel]

STARFIELD might be the only game in existence worth losing the love of your live to.

 

[3liteDragon]

That wasn't the reason, and good for him for finally breaking up with her.

 

[SportsFan581]

Then the delay hit....

Should've waited until the day before release. LOL

[Crayon]

Bobby Lee is a comedian and says all sorts of off the wall shit. Vidoe games is not why. They had a weird relationship.

 

[BennyBlanco]

this would've been the end of it for me, she's vile

Edit - Try to ignore the rest of the video except the clip from the their podcast. It’s the only way I could find it on YT.

 

[64gigabyteram]

"SO WHO WILL IT BE, WILL IT BE THE XBOX, OR WILL IT BE ME?!?!"
"hmmmm..... uhh...."
*3 days later*
"cant wait for starfield!"

 

[ReBurn]

Sounds more like he gained the power of self respect

 

[lovetalkgames]

She belongs to the streets

Quick, someone call the waaaaaaaambulance. We have a whiner!!

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

Anyone who listens to Tigerbelly podcast understands that this is entirely a joke just meant to make light of the breakup. There were a lot of reasons for the breakup.

You actually like these stupid posts ?

 

[Umbasaborne]

Christ who gives a shit about any of these people?

 

[The Fartist]

Dude, Bobby Lee's shadow is ten times funnier than Trevor Noah will ever be, and I'm not even a Bobby Lee fan.

Maybe she likes cars?

But it’s difficult to get this right, gaming and relationships, unfortunately I think it’s fairly common among those who don’t play games to think gaming is a waste of time and money. My experience at least. Finding someone who play games too makes life so much easier. Unless she tackle you off the couch because she wants to play on your PS5!

Everybody kicking Yamanashi's ass from coach Hines to his girlfriend.

Influencers. Not even once.

Imagine doing before the delay? Wahahahaaaaaaa!

I forgot all about him. I remember him now from MadTv, he wasn't one of the more funnier ones on there. I need to see what he's up to these days. Last I seen him in was Harold and Kumar I believe.

 

[Hoppa]

I fell off but I used to follow his podcasts Tigerbelly and Bad Friends during lockdown and they’ve talked quite a few times about how he games all night (mostly Call if Duty) then gets up in the afternoon. He’s a slob so this is not surprising.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

I for one love the thread. But he probably did it a bit early.

 

[GenericUser]

A true gamer

 

[Bartski]

I broke up with one to play RDR2, can relate.

 

[supernova8]

I mean I never found him funny. Maybe it's just not my type of humour. As for the girl... let's be honest she is attractive and probably could have married a much more attractive dude. If he thought he could get a drug addiction and she would stick around then.... joke's on him.

As an ugly dude dating/married to a relatively hot woman, you need to have everything (except looks) going for you otherwise what's the point? There's nothing sexist or shallow about it. That's how the world works and how the world has always worked.

 

[Icymanipulator]

She will have zero problems finding someone else. Bobby hasn’t been very funny in years imo.
