Body Language Analyst REACTS to Jeff Wittek's DEFEATED Nonverbal Communication | Episode 52

well hey there idiots welcome back to observe in today's video i'm going to be analyzing the non-verbal communication of jeff widdick who is associated with david dobrik and the scandal that has gone down involving dom i know that's a lot of people that i just listed off here so for those of you who don't know the situation dom did some very very terrible things he's an idiot and i don't condone him in any form or fashion on a related note david dobrik who is in charge of the vlog squad more or less knew about dom's actions a while ago chose not to act on them and recently released an apology video jeff whittick was also unfortunately involved in the internet atrocity known as the vlog squad and his now coming out with his own apologies while jeff is not directly involved with the actions of dom and david he does feel semi-responsible and was mentioned in an article that attributed his name to the entire incident so he has come out with not one but two apologies and i'm going to be analyzing the nonverbal communication of the second apology [Music] now my knowledge of the vlog squad and these people involved is minimal i did that intentionally to be able to maintain an unbiased and untainted perspective of the incident but as you know i have already done two videos on david's previous apologies and i have been highly requested to look at jeff's so i went through and i tried to find his first apology needless to say he deleted it so i was able to find it from another person that being said it was a very low quality video so i couldn't see too much non-verbally while i was watching it however i did note that it did seem quite sincere while i didn't agree with his verbiage during the apology his body language seemed to be synchronized throughout from what i could tell from the very blurry image then i was able to go and watch his second apology which is dramatically shorter and he addresses some of the faults in his previous one along with that i was able to watch the frenemies episode in which they speak with jeff now for those of you who are new to the field nonverbal communication is at best 70 to 80 accurate with plenty of room for misinterpretation all of this being said let's dive into the actual analysis alright so i deleted my last video titled my truth because turns out i had some things wrong from my memory and there was a lot of things i said wrong and did wrong and that okay so please note that he is wearing white i'm not going to attribute too much to this because it seems to be just an average everyday sort of outfit it's not uncommon to see somebody wearing a t-shirt he's also wearing a cap no big deal but the glasses are partially obscuring his eyes which is going to make the reed a little bit more difficult if i'm going to be relying on any of the tails centered around the muscles especially the finer muscles around the eyes that being said he's also very small in the frame he's not very dynamic and this is all to present an idea of vulnerability to the camera this is common in an apology let's continue watching video because i acted out of emotion and impulse and frustration that my name was even mentioned in it and i said i didn't want to discredit the victim but by discrediting the reporter and my small miniscule part in the story okay so i will note he is looking down commonly this is very common in shame it's hard to hold another person's gaze while you're feeling shame and in the same light it's also hard to hold gaze with a camera while feeling shame one of my thoughts was perhaps he's reading something down below but if you watch his eyes carefully they are not moving left to right which is an indicator that he is in fact not reading anything perhaps he has notes it's hard to say but so far all that i am seeing is shame across his face this is important during an apology and it is an indicator of authenticity let's continue i did just that i discredited the entire story that this girl worked up the courage to tell and he's using a pointer finger gesture down there you can see it just barely at the bottom of the frame this is an aggressive gesture and what he's speaking about now is aggression towards himself for discrediting the victim's statement even unintentionally he should have aggression towards himself this is a synchronized point in his body language it is good to see i feel horrible about it and i just want to apologize i truly believe hannah's story i respect her for couldn't see anything that would indicate deception during this point he does have a long pause before that and you can hear a little bit of tenseness in his voice this is commandeering nerves and emotion it's either one of those two or it could be both regardless it doesn't have any indicators of deceit coming forward and telling it it takes a lot and to have somebody like me come on and just focus on myself and my part of the story you can see a lot of disgust coming in around the corners of his nose and barely around his eyes like i said it's hard to see his eyes due to his glasses but you can see that a little bit of squinting is coming in there that is common in negative emotion as well and you can see it around the action in the corners of his nose these are both indicators of disgust he is having and showing genuine authentic indicators of disgust across his face and saying that it was a lie just because i was i was selfish and i didn't want to be mentioned in this act at all imagine if something like being said and then nothing happens to that person now i will go ahead and mention from here on out that there may or may not be any trigger warnings needed i don't remember the exact wording of this apology in the first apology there were certainly a lot of trigger warnings needed but just be prepared if this is something that could be triggering for you this might not be the video for you now speaking on his nonverbal communication you can see that there is a little bit of action in his shoulder it's not a full half shrug as you might expect to see in something that would be insecure or in sincerity it does seem to be just an average movement of his shoulders let's continue but they keep growing and keep getting more successful and keep making the same jokes i had to take some time to think about all this in david's video he said that he got the text three months after the incident happened i wasn't filled in on this for whatever reasons i don't know if it was because he thought i would attack dom this is true from what i can tell he's showing authentic and synchronized body language this is an indicator for a lack of deceit or another way to put that is authenticity he doesn't seem to be lying during this point i do believe him when he says that he did not receive any information about this from david at the point that david learned it or maybe he didn't want to tell anyone to protect his squeaky clean brand at the time i don't know there's no excuse for it it's just not something you hide and i wasn't told and i was in the video i was acting in bits and i stand by that you could see him say i don't know and then if you watch his shoulder again here it does have more action so that is an indicator of insecurity that is synchronized with the words that he's saying this is an indicator commonly of authenticity not necessarily all the time but most of the time also i would like to be able to note so far his wording the verbiage that he is using is good he is not offering himself any excuses during this apology he's not offering any leeway for the people that were involved and did the actual crime itself that is important to note he's not trying to blame shift on any level if you see a person apologize and try to blame shift be it to the circumstances be it to anything else that immediately makes their apology more or less meaningless let's continue i was looking in a room and i didn't witness anything but something horrible did happen and people knew about it and they didn't tell me and i didn't find out until the reporter reached out with this article i will make a note that it's interesting that he does a mouth touching gesture here this can be self-soothing or it can be a blocking either one would be an indicator of distress and anxiety centered around this specific subject i would have to ask is this born out of anxiety centered around the actual incidence itself or is it centered around his desire to keep himself from showing that he's lying we don't know the answer to that so far judging by the rest of his video he's been very authentic and synchronized so it would be safer to assume that he's being so here as well but it is something that i have made note of let's continue because the state of mind i'm in i acted off impulse and anger that my name was even a part of it and i apologize for that i don't even have the courage to tell you guys what happened to me so for me to discredit this girl for coming forward and talking about a traumatic thing that happened to her and it had to be i know it's very hard to see but his eyebrows are lightly furrowed and his eyes are squinting this is an indicator of contempt or anger somewhere in that wheelhouse of emotions that is good to see in regards to what he's speaking of here it's very very difficult as a victim of this specific type of crime to be able to come forward and speak and in this situation in his first apology he unintentionally undermined and disregarded her statement and made it sound as if it was not true then he's apologizing for it this is good long story short this is good extremely hard to come forward and say it and i'm supposed to be this tough guy and i can't even tell you what happened to me because i'm scared of the criticism i would get in return i don't know if i would be able to deal with it there's no contracts there's no ndas there's no lawsuits i just don't know if i could take it because i know how i got hurt was stupid and i'm embarrassed of it and i've been acting irrational lately i've undergone various surgeries on my eye and my you can still see a lot of action around his eyebrows and eyes but he's also started to do an open-handed gesture here this is a pleading gesture this is saying that i'm open to whatever criticism you have towards me this is open body language and it is in a pleading slightly upward turn of his hands this is very very common in situations like this it does sound as if he's starting to make a few excuses let's hear how that plays out and then we'll continue from there head and i had brain trauma i've been on meds and that's why i stutter and that's probably some cuts in this video but [ __ ] it i'm gonna try my best to be completely transparent you can hear his breathing has increased that shallow sharp breathing is an indicator of high anxiety high stress he is very turbulent centered around this that is good to actually see if it was very very mellow and calm then that would be more of a red flag during this sort of situation it makes more sense to see higher anxiety tells than to not so during this time this would be an indicator of authenticity for me and vulnerable and honest and i'll probably [ __ ] up on a couple things but when they asked me about you can see while he's processing what he's going to say a very short micro expression of disgust slip in around the corner of his nose here that is an unintentional seepage of actual emotion those short very very brief often less than half a second flashes of emotion are most commonly genuine flashes of emotion so during this time he's showing actual disgust in regards to what he's talking about and that makes sense in context of the video the article i didn't know what to say i didn't want to speak about my health and my my vision my [ __ ] eye i'm embarrassed of and i see like a camera that's out of focus i i see complete blur out of my left eye and it [ __ ] up both my vision so it's difficult for me to read and i had the article read to me and this doesn't really have too much to do with what he's talking about he's just explaining what his physical condition is i'm sure it relates somehow to his apology we have to continue watching but i do want to note that it is a possible rabbit trail during an apology and if you are being apologized to by somebody and they often rabbit trail during their apologies that is an indicator that they have no interest in actually apologizing for it and it can be an indicator of deceit or a lack of sincerity during that apology so if you see that happen in your life please make a note of it and make sure that you keep track of it we have here we'll see what happens from here that's still no excuse i could have had it read to me 30 times and got every detail right but i let my emotions get the best to me because of just me being selfish and that's it i tried to disgust and contempt slipping in around the corners of his nose and mouth there that is important to be able to note this is directed towards himself and his own actions this is an indicator of authenticity that is important during this apology it fits very very well so far so good blindly defend my friends when truthfully if something like this happens you need to speak about it you need to tell i'm curious as to why there was a cut there he did mention that he has some difficulties with stumbling and stammering around on his words now due to some injuries but right there he says truthfully and then he has a pretty sizable lopsided shrug and that can be an indicator of insincerity however it cuts right after that and he continues in and his body is back to balanced again it is something that i still have made note of and i'm keeping track of perhaps there is an area further on in the apology where this comes up and is important information regardless we have it on our list of things to make note of and we'll continue people you need to take action because you can't cover [ __ ] like this up this girl spoke up and told her story three months after it happened and then everybody continued to keep making these jokes and including myself if i was the victim and i continued to watch these videos and and see that i was still associating with dom and i was making j i made a joke with dom that they separate the sexual i mean i literally said something based off a character that i thought that we all had an understanding of that this was just the character when he was a known abuser and i i had jokes come out after the situation and after people knew about that and that doesn't sit right with me so obviously there's a respect level here that's off and i don't stand for that i'm gonna take a step back i'm gonna okay so he's saying i'm gonna take a step back and this is a very big defensive gesture which lines up once again synchronized with his body language along with that on his face he has some contempt and disgust mixed together that is a common duo to be able to see in apologies and that is in regards to the situation the incident itself this is good to see for those of you who are curious about jeff whittick this so far has been a very very effective apology both non-verbally and verbally be accountable for myself and that's it obviously i need to take some time to heal and get my [ __ ] together i'll do just that i'll work on myself and i'm gonna try to grow from this experience if this video gets torn apart and it's my last video and it gets a million dislikes and i get [ __ ] ripped apart again but it got at least one person to speak up and one person to get help or call and the emotions that are playing across his face right now commonly are shame and anger this makes sense he should be ashamed and he should be angry and it's showing on his face and it's not desynchronized this is an indicator that it's authentic emotional leakage you can fake leakage emotionally to where you can play off that you're being ashamed or you can play off that you're being angry but it's hard to sustain so the fact that he's been sustaining it for this time as well as he has pushes me to believe that he's being authentic once again since this can only be 70 to 80 accurate at best at this state of the research it can't be a guarantee but i would be willing to stake my name on him being authentic right now just talk just get your story out there if you know somebody if you know somebody that's that's assaulted someone even if they're your your best friend or your own [ __ ] family member you need to speak about it the story's getting a lot of attention all over very prevalent to me is the disgust expression on his face it is continuous and it is synchronized he is absolutely disgusted with this situation that's important to note that's important to see and that's what we as viewers would hope to see let's continue watching the rest of the video and then at the very very end i'll give you my thoughts and opinions separate from what we've observed um youtube and articles being published and it's become a form of almost entertainment for people because of everyone that's involved and it's not entertainment at all this is a girl's life and it's a it's a thing she'll have to live with for the rest of her life and if you're making money on it i'd understand businesses need to keep their lights on and and people need to make money and that's how the world works but just try to help just do anything you can to help i feel like you should i suggest you should i don't give a [ __ ] what anybody else does i can't be accountable for anybody but myself i chose to donate to rain rain is a charity for essay victims it's a hotline as well if you want to call them and talk you can do it for free this is an ongoing situation that needs to be talked about you cannot keep things like this a secret and if you know anybody just call and talk if you've been assaulted call and talk i appreciate you know everybody educating me more on this situation because you know that's what life's about that's what that's all we can really do is learn and grow from these situations and try to help other people okay and that is the end of that video that's the end of his second apology so speaking on it non-verbally throughout the entirety of the video i saw mostly synchronized nonverbal communication that's very very good to note there were some moments of possible insecurity he did offer some verbal excuses here and there but then immediately thereafter discredited his own excuses once again pointing the responsibility back on himself that means that he is processing and fighting against his own self-preservation during this and that is something that is important in apologies all that the science and nonverbal communication was able to show us today was that he was synchronized and that is an indicator of authenticity now my opinion outside of that is that he was an idiot to be involved with the vlog squad to begin with i think it was a very toxic group and it is based off of toxic values for shock factor pranks so on and so forth that eventually end up in areas like this being a part of that is a terrible idea and it's usually monetarily and fame driven i think that it's coming to bite many people in the butt for their decision to be a part of the vlog squad and i think that this might be a pretty hefty wake-up call for people like jeff and from what i can tell he is going to be making strides forward from here effectively are we able to say that for sure absolutely not we can only see what he does from this point on but from his apology alone i believe this one far far more than i did david's that's my opinion of jeff widdick's apology beyond this point i will not be addressing this once again dom is garbage i have no respect for him he is a terrible human being and he belongs behind bars this is never excusable i have a lot of sympathy for people who have been through this i know many myself and it is a terrible thing to have to go through i hope this video helped bring some light to the situation perhaps lay some questions to rest and hopefully we can all move forward from here and the people who have done the crimes have what is coming for them that's all that i'm going to say on this thank you so much for watching and i will see you in the next video
