It can also backfire if the other players decide they like them more than you, so they refuse to join the new campaign since the removed player isn’t there. You could lie and tell them the removed player just decided to back out, but since the players like each other, it won’t be long until they start asking why they left, and then everyone knows the truth.
Is that backfiring, though? You decided that you don’t want to play with that person, so if they are a package deal with other players, then you’re going to lose all of those people no matter what you do.
If you’d rather suffer the one bad player than lose the other people, then you need to understand that dynamic before acting unilaterally. You know, it’s a social thing so you need to actually talk to people.
