Grammar and sentence structure
1.He is now making up all these stories about our stuffs were telling him this and that; how can someone be so naive not to understand that he had lost his place when we didn't ask for his service for last few weeks.
Can you please tell me whether the use of about is ok or not? Do I really need to use that or it can be omitted? Are the uses of two for's ok or not?And finally,I also want you to ckeck the Italic sections whether they are grammatically correct or not.
2.He came before the media to deny all stories surrounding him claiming these are just media manipulation. OR He came out to the media to deny all stories surrounding him claiming these are just media manipulation.
Can you please tell me whether the uses of these two phrases came before and came out to are ok or not? And like the previous one I want you to check the Italic sections for any grammatical error. Can I say any grammatical errors instead of any grammatical error?
Thanks for your valuable time.

He is now making up all these stories about our stuffs were telling him this and that ; how can someone be so naive not to understand that he had lost his place when we didn't ask for his service for last few weeks. I n almost all contexts, 'stuff' is a non-count noun. In addition, 'stuff' cannot tell people anything, except in a very figurative sense.

Hi Clive,
Thank you very much for your kind help. Yes,by Stuff I actually meant a group of employees and by he had lost his place I meant he lost his job or he is no longer favored for the work he used to do for them. To make it more clear,lets consider he was working on a contract basis where he was the first choice before that "two weeks" peri

My bad,I have forgotten the came out segment. No its not like a situation where he came out of a building or something like that rather what I meant is, up until some time he was not available to clarify those rumors about him but then talked to the media and denied everything.
Hopefully,I am bit more clear now.
