Unfortunately Mencia carried enough weight with the Gersh Agency that represented both the comedians, and Joe was instructed to apologize for calling Mencia a thief. Mencia gave them an ultimatum and said he would leave the agency if Rogan does not apologize. Joe Rogan left the agency by choice as a result, because he refused to apologize.
Gersh Agency did, however, not get away unscathed with such unethical behavior. Louis CK left them for telling Joe to apologize, and so did Nick Swardson. It is reported that a lot of other big name clients have also left them or are in the process of finding a new agency.
Joe Rogan developed a huge following because he had the guts to stand up against Mencia. Carlos, on the other hand, had a storm break out over his head, is clouded in controversy and ended up in therapy.
