Jesus, I remember when they announced he wouldn't be back for Talks at the start of C3, but I had no idea about any of the reasoning behind it.

Tough decision for sure, but definitely one that speaks to their integrity as creators and as a company. Best wishes to them moving forward, and hope Ashley is doing well of course.

While there is speculation that him leaving was related to this, there's no confirmation, and chances are it was a different reason. Personally I suspect it was related to his substance abuse issues and his frequency of lashing out at trolls online. The breakup and restraining order were both this year, and DV is VERY often hidden in plain sight. Most people who interact with DV victims are completely unaware, because most people who commit DV are very good at being charming when they want to be and the victims are usually too afraid to let the people around them know.

Yeah, I don't think it was directly because of a restraining order either. That sounds more a symptom (along with his trolling) of his substance abuse problems. CR is very careful about how it engages it's fanbase and he is a major liability to that.
