Jeff Wittek Is Suing David Dobrik For More Than $10 Million Over The Near-Fatal Excavator Stunt Months After Calling Him A “Fake Friend” And A “Scumbag”

David Dobrik is being sued by fellow YouTuber Jeff Wittek over the near-fatal excavator incident that occurred in June 2020.

David, Jeff, and others in their then-close group of friends — aka the Vlog Squad — were filming content for David’s YouTube channel, which is infamous for dangerous stunts.

In video footage uploaded to his YouTube channel, Jeff could be seen slamming into the excavator when David suddenly halted it, before falling into the lake.

Jeff endured near-fatal injuries as a result of the failed stunt, including a broken foot and hip, a torn ligament in his leg, and a skull shattered in nine places.

Doctors also told him that he came dangerously close to losing his eye, and he announced a few months ago that he’d only just gotten the plates out following his ninth surgery.

Jeff is suing David for “general negligence and intentional tort” in a new lawsuit obtained by multiple outlets.
