Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”

He is not completely in the right because as unbiased as he wants to be, at the end of the day, he is still criticizing a competitor.

You can use this to question whether his motives are pure, but suggesting he is "not completely in the right" is just weird. He is well within his rights to criticise a competitor. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I agree. I worded my initial comment poorly. I just meant that it can be damaging to your own reputation to criticize competitors. GN is completely in the right.
