David Dobrik and controversies-
This year has brought nothing but bad luck for David since he seems to be surrounded by one controversy or the other. The famous Youtuber and social media star was recently canceled after a former “Vlog Squad” member, Seth revealed that he was sexually assaulted during one of the vlogs.
Several girls have talked about sexual assault and harassment by Vlog Squad members while David witnessed and did nothing to help the girls. David has also been proven racist in the past.
All this was not enough when Business insider published an article with the title – “A woman featured on YouTube star David Dobrik’s channel says she was raped by a Vlog Squad member in 2018 the night they filmed a video about group sex.” This created a storm on the internet.
David lost subscribers and brand deals overnight. Although he apologized to people and took a break from everything. People still do not seem to like him.
