if you guys heard but it's been pretty serious we've i've been injecting elo with shots of hormones in her stomach every day my my stomach is so bruised like i can't can't move right you're like a junkie your stomach and you guys know that scene from pulp fiction where she stabs the needle in the chest so that's what i'm doing to ela basically every night no but that you know it's really painful too it like burns but um we're almost through it and hopefully we get another little uh shrimp out of it don't worry you're always wonderful beautiful the greatest of all time and you look good what do you think you got like a thing in your hair with a flower yeah damn and what's this this is sick too what is this the wrist oh that's nice it's hot i like the checkers it's amazing that's hot we love we stand hila no matter how many hor whatever is going through your body whatever level of estrogen is going on obviously we come here today um on short noted or like usually we film today and then post it tomorrow we're doing today's live because there was this uh bombshell article about david dobreck and the vlog squad where um by insider where um this blows everything out of the water that we've talked about it's really disturbing i knew this article was coming out but it was way more in depth and the gravity of the of the accusations in this article was way more than i expected yeah so according to this article which we'll read we're also having the author call in afterwards to help us get us clarity on everything and david's also issued an apology or an i don't know if you go it's like an apology slash it's more like a legal disclaimer i don't know what it was um yeah pretty nice so we're covering there's a lot to cover we're going to cover all of it but in this article it alleges that in one of david's vlogs which featured this guy dom there was a an r word took place an essay slash r word does everyone understand what you're talking about okay it feels so silly i have to be careful on this live i don't want it right you know you got to be careful but i think everyone knows what i'm saying so there was an essay during one of his vlogs in which there was a plot about this guy dom having you know relationships yeah relations with five girls right and so he put in his video a straight up s a slash r word so um there it's the whole story and everything surrounding it is really uh incredible in the in the obviously tragic sense of the word but it really underlies just how responsible irresponsible david is in making i mean that that puts it lightly you know yeah i'm gonna read the article because i think it's um really important there's a lot of really good details in it that i think deserve to be shared you know it was behind a paywall so i was like ugh why they got to do that i get it i know they got to make money and it's hard making it and like print journalism and [ __ ] and like they had lawyers they were on with david's lawyer it's an expensive article to put together it's kind of true you forget that they have to make money somehow it's not easy and um we've got we're getting used to getting everything for free i don't know what to think about it because i got upset when i was like this is way too important to put behind a bay wall but it's like you want them to do really good research right you want them to do lawyers spend money on it and no i don't know yeah but look at any rate even if a lot of people haven't read it um the word is out and i'm gonna pirate it here live on the podcast i'm just kidding this is fair use because i'm reporting on it right verbatim and commenting on it but the author's calling in so i mean can it be pirating if the author's calling in to talk about it yes yes it could be no i got david and insider to deal with no oh you know what else something exciting exciting before we got get into the article we got swatted yesterday hey third time we got swatted first time at the new house it's so upsetting just right after my mom arrived um yeah they there's always these really suspicious timing with the swatting that like the last time we got swatted we were coming back from new york with theodore yeah so i was like oh they're trying to you know they're trying to catch us with theodore it's like wow that's pretty sinister and this time we her mom arrived yesterday and then again we get swatted it's like they're trying to find these horrible moments to do it i obviously don't know who did it the last time it happened they got arrested though so like i'm still getting letters from the department of justice about this guy's trial so i i'm surprised people think that this is a safe activity to do because they for they're finding these people now yeah i don't know i don't know why i don't know what makes a person want to do that because i just really wonder do they not understand the severity of what they're doing or they do they're being no they're very malicious they're that malicious and they know exactly what to say like the cops showed up there was like six so the city knows that we live at this address which is great so when the police were coming unlike previous times dispatch was like hey there's a youtuber that lives there that's been swatted before so that's good and now because we're in a gated community they said you know we were a little suspicious about the call because usually when there's shots fired you get more than one call and we got to talk to the guard and he says he you know nothing happened so at least this time their guns weren't drawn like the previous two times the previous two times were nuts man they were like doing perimeter sweeps with like assault rifles drawn there was helicopters in with spotlights this time there was like six cops in front of the house and they were slamming on the doors like what the hell is going on this mailman got a new package what's up with this amazon delivery these guys lost their damn mind yeah and then we have like a glass door so i saw all the cops and i was like okay here we go i go out to meet them and um they were nice i mean they were great they were very nice and they're very helpful they gave me good advice too going forward if it happens again they gave me the police report and they said just come out with the police report and your id so that you'd be like yo i got swatted it's all good they can see immediately but you know these cops were nice and understanding and got the memo but you you just you never know who's gonna show up or what's going on in their day i mean people have died getting swatted it's just not a nice thing well not to mention the trauma it's horrible i mean last time i got swatted shredder got out we thought he'd shred her i'd like you know shredder's aggressive cops don't like aggressive dogs no yeah it was all i will never forget that i also think shredder has been traumatized ever since i know every time he hears like police chatter on a tv show or something he panics um and then yeah it's whatever i don't know i don't even want to shout out whoever did that um the cops are really nice and you'll probably be arrested because that's what happened to the last people that did it so i look forward to getting a department of justice letter on behalf of whoever did that right i don't know who i don't know if it had anything to do with the david dobrik thing i doubt it i don't think so the last people who did it were like can you imagine well i don't think david or anyone who knows no i don't know but like his fans yeah i mean the last people who did it were like white supremacists right they're part of like some white supremacist neo-nazi group so i assume it's probably something to do with that because who else would be that malicious you know other than like like that um one other update friday is our live show is our i just want to announce this because it's we um the coin are extra rare vape niche gold coin one of one is ending live on the show friday and so i just want to make sure everybody knows this is going to be thrilling exciting times let the bidding begin everybody the vape nation video one of one woo hoo [Music] uh i'm trying to see i'm gonna i'm gonna have to donate a lot to like environmental because everyone's angry apparently nft's like burn the earth so i'm gonna give some to like i don't know uh smokey the bear or who who who can i give it to uh i'll upgrade smokey's cave get him some pimp out his cave can you overall new overalls he's gonna be pimped out bro he's gonna be blinged out like gucci overalls and [ __ ] he's like what's up swag out his forest anyway um oh there you know last night are there no sponsors there's no sponsor okay i didn't want to put a sponsor got it today's episode is sponsored by yeah well you know you never know but i i intentionally didn't put anything okay yeah thank you oh there's just one other thing that i wanted to talk about first you know i was watching there's this documentary on netflix about the college admissions scandal that came out last night i was watching it really good i didn't know this olivia jade was like the reason this whole thing got busted open really yes because she said something no so and by the way the documentary proves because there's always questions of like oh does she know does the dad know they all knew there was text messages between them all three of them talking that they showed they all knew and one of the guidance like so this was in my high school when people get into college there's like they put these like congratulations on the wall like congratulations ethan was going to ucsc and so jade and her sister both got into usc and people are like oh that's weird because usc is like really hard to get into and apparently they're like not great students and they're like that's so odd the guidance counselor thought it was so odd that he called usc to inquire oh my god because it's because he looked into it and she got admitted for being some kind of like backup for the row team and he's like this is weird so he calls the usc uh like athletics or admission department and he goes what's the deal with how did she get into usc and they're like oh she's part of our athletics program and he's like well just so you know she's never rode she doesn't row or any of that [ __ ] wow and apparently like their whole family knew that this guidance counselor was causing trouble and so like he her dad went there and like was was like trying to intimidate him to drop it and she said oh my god yeah wow it's really interesting the documentary wait wasn't that isn't the dad the the big fashion designer yeah he's a famous designer yeah so like i cannot get over this story who cares so much about getting into i know yeah and it's always about the pa so like when you're that rich and you're in this high status of social circles it's like oh my college got into my my son is going to harvard it's like ooh it's like a flex under their parents mm-hmm even though the shitty parents they got to prove somehow that they've raised their kids right that's crazy because olivia didn't even want to go like she was killing it on youtube she's like i don't give a [ __ ] about usc but the parents insisted she go and bought her in crazy right and some of these parents were spending like a million and a half dollars to get their million and a half [ __ ] that you're dumb ass kid i can't i mean and she's not even well equipped to go through the rigors of a of like a a high tier elite college like olivia jade got there and she's like i [ __ ] hate it i can't deal with this [ __ ] you know what i mean like you have to be prepared to deal with the rigors of of uh i mean yeah she was already having a cool popping channel on youtube exactly just let her do what she wants yeah there was a huge part about olivier jaden family that was really interesting anyway just wanted to talk about that you want to talk about teddy fresh on thursday or no no teddy fresh on thursday you do that talking oh well there's a new drop on teddy fresh this tomorrow so that's it check it out they'll be [ __ ] on the website 10 a.m all right all right we got a lot to get to here yeah oh another interesting thing about david before we get started is you know the whole time that me and trisha have been going on about this he seemed like people just didn't care it was unaffected but now all of a sudden he's been trending on youtube since his article came out and people are actually unsubbing which i never expected actually to happen on his channel he lost 100 000 subscribers today just find it interesting that now oh you know what it was he made the video and when he makes the video he clues all the people in and then they go what the [ __ ] because majority people who watch that video on his his apology video probably had no idea what the hell something was even going on i think it's also the fact that it's an article and it's not just other youtubers talking about it sure because for someone from the outside it may seem like who who's real who's not you know it may seem like a big for drama yeah like hard to understand and hard to follow yeah people think any time trisha they just well trisha just just has a vendetta against david so they dismiss everything she says funnily enough trisha has proven to be completely right about everything in this situation completely wow thank you you're welcome you're welcome i have to say i stand trishy yeah i mean conducting herself quite well i'm impressed with her yeah can i say i like her she's my sister thank you so crazy she's coming over on friday to have a whole family shebang she's eating she's gonna meet eva's mom oh that's a big deal it's it's awesome it's crazy but it's awesome i'm happy yeah everyone's happy she's cool the way things started and where we are now is the whole life comes at you fast dude you never know what the hell is around the next turn okay boomer okay settle down i'm trying to do a show here what's up with trisha insulting me she's not even here i saw she posted on instagram or something that um it was like just last week was one year since she had met yesterday oh wow seems both seems longer than that right kind of like 20 20 was a long year it was a long and we were doing that yeah it was just the beginning of kovit we're doing the bachelor with tricia yeah that was a long mother effing time ago all right let's get into it now guys this might feel tedious at times i'm going to try to there's a lot of background information stuff i'm trying to skip but i do want to do it justice because this article is so well written and it's so well sourced they did such a professional and good job and by the way like dude they got the receipts like the the main source of this article is this girl who was the victim of the essay and she has a lot of there's a lot of supporting evidence here like pictures and videos and dms and stuff that she all shared with insider to the point where i don't think anyone is even trying to deny or discredit that this happened right i haven't seen anyone really trying to even question it right yeah which is really interesting and unusual yeah it's up to this point it's been a battle of like oh this and that and david denver wouldn't do david doesn't have a bad bone in his body he's just disappointed yeah so that's so they they they crush i mean this article is just they crushed it on the journalistic side of it okay here we go and yes i did buy a membership we did it i wanted to do it right at least you know if i'm if i'm going to pirate it for everybody here at least i paid for it can we not use the word pirates i'm kidding it's not a pirate i'm a journal i'm as a journalist i'm sure i'm talk i'm commenting on a current event covered by fair use damn it okay so the title is a woman featured on youtube star david dobrik's channel says she was r-worded by a vlog squad member in 2018 the night they filmed a video about group sex yeah that's quite a title why the title when i read that title i was like holy [ __ ] i thought the article was just about like that they supplied minors with alcohol for their videos but this was like oh my god i'm gonna say there's a lot of background stuff it is a really long article they were just saying just giving background on the vlog squad and stuff and the girls the girls uh let's see she's a college student they're in their 20s you know they're going to meet a bunch of like famous youtubers and have a fun time she's 20 year old yeah she's 20. it seems like they weren't even sure they're like is this real is this set up do we real are we really supposed to have sex with them you know what i mean someone asked the sexy stuff won't be in the vlog right anyway yada yada i'm just trying to find there was a point here where i wanted to start then there's like all the attorney stuff why it's like the more i move the less you don't have to have it on that screen just so you know it's easier to just read it off yeah i can just show it on my computer oh it's okay i like to see it like this okay fair enough um she the girl who is the main source of the spoke with insider on the condition of an anime anonymity anonymity this is not about how you cannot pronounce words ethan get your word straight jack joe biden an animated anonymity out of concerns of sharing her full name could affect employment opportunities so they've so her identity is concealed we have the vlog that this is from we we censor or or blurred all the faces of the girls too to protect our identity uh uh david's attorney released this statement he said david will be addressing his community directly which is interesting it really says a lot about the apologies that like this was planned in coordination with his pr and attorneys the statement went on to say anyone who knows him knows he does not condone misconduct in any form vlogbroth vlog squad percep participants provide consent before anything is posted whenever consent is retracted posts are removed any insinuation of wrongdoing is accurate and defamatory okay but i love that already that the statement from attorney says anyone who knows david knows yeah this uh this is not he doesn't condone it's like this was scotty's defense the anyone who knows him defense what kind of lawyer would say that i don't know i mean it's like such a sneaky way to defend anyone try saying that to the judge anyone didn't judge anyone that knows david yeah exactly it's like the remember the chewbacca defense from south park this is chewbacca okay you remember that [ __ ] chewbacca is a whoopie for mentor it's been a while since i thought about that um anyway this is where i want to start from so i guess hannah is as is as soon as uh you know yeah yeah so hannah says she quickly felt uncomfortable with the vlog squad members i guess i should give a trigger warning that there is going to be some uncomfortable essay discussion talking about at this point so i'm going to read the whole thing so buckle in it might get a little tedious but this is it the video filmed the night hannah says she was assaulted follows a classic dobrick vlog format it's four minutes and 20 seconds long and includes a celebrity cameo and comedy scenes featuring dobik's friends do you know how to say this name zeg zegliatis it's like glyphosate i'm just going to say dom here here forever here known as dom from here forth known as dom dom appears 2 minutes and 13 seconds in according to a copy of the video reviewed by insider i invited these girls over to have a five some he says implying that he'll have sex with four women at once so hopefully i'll have a five some tonight the next shot is of hannah and her friends walking into the apartment on hollywood and highland where dobrik dom and other vlog squad members are gathered as soon as she walked in the door hannah said someone shoved the camera in her face she has one line of dialogue in the video as she and her friend sit on the couch hannah is heard saying she doesn't actually know anyone who is in the vlog squad get the [ __ ] out vlog squad member jason nationals in response as everyone laughs in real life hannah says she didn't find the banter funny at one point she said nash who was 45 at the time made a comment along the lines of oh you have a personality hot girls like you usually don't i immediately felt really uncomfortable because i was under the impression that we were going to meet these cool creators we were going to hang out maybe film something hannah told insider it was high pressure from the moment we walked in well i certainly believe that having you know what i mean like that's for sure true because they i think they thought they were coming to have a good time but david was there to make a video yeah that's kind of the whole premise here is like everyone is this is all just for content hannah and her friend sarah who drove everyone to the apartment told insider that they never intended to have group sex with dom that night a hesitance reflected in the vlog in his voice over dobrik says after a couple of minutes of talking it was clear that no fivesome was happening but dobrek added by some stroke of luck and master negotiating dom made progress which is insane a little sinister i i think i think we should watch it at this point because i have this part on tape yeah and um i think it's it's better to just watch it let me see here i've got it master negotiating yeah that sounds like that's like a nice euphemism for like cowards and girls to sleep with you um here's the video where we censored the faces of the girls involved these girls over to have a five some so hopefully i have five some tonight [Music] is [Laughter] after a couple minutes of talking it was clear there was no fivesome happening tonight he called it yeah you guys want to watch me and trisha have sex i'm bound but by some stroke of luck and master negotiating dom made progress that's so creepy that's like just after like knowing what we know after reading the whole article it's just it makes me sick it makes my stomach you know he put this all in so it's like they definitely so he goes it's just amazing that he put that there yeah he goes they did not want to have sex with him but after a bunch of alcohol and coercion dom was able to get him in the room against their will basically against their stated desire when they entered and by the way now i've learned that this dom guy had already had sexual yeah allegations yeah he's a creep against him he's we'll get into that but yeah this guy's a little this guy's twisted and you'll find that you know david kind of made it a plot point in his vlog like he created this whole situation to see how dom would react hoping that you know it would create content for his vlog we just need to get in there and do a head count for the vlog okay yeah so they skip a lot here we'll get into that but this is like hours later so they're him and a few girls are in there you know having relations and the guys go in there without asking permission and sneak start watching for the vlog they go oh we need a head count for the vlog okay all right we got we got three in there jonah's gonna peek in so he can describe it to me a bunch well everybody's looking in i'm gonna have to leave the apartment i'm kind of getting horny just like listening to this okay i open the door i know it's just a frat house it's just like you know what i mean it's a total boys club frat house holy [ __ ] it smells like someone was murdered in here what's up dude you are sweating like a racehorse was that your first threesome yeah so again i noticed something really interesting why does he think david was that your first threesome yes it was thank you david so why is he thanking dave what is he thanking david for arranging the situation in which he could the girls from what i understand um not not the main the victim was not a fan she didn't know who david is but the rest were fans of david right so they just wanted to meet david he set it up he made it possible he made it possible for sure i mean look you think david case closed the old smell my finger smells like bread and sister anyway there you go so that's the video and then there's the statement at the end all right yeah there's you almost missed like the best part john just had a threesome and i think we're all going to jail yeah dom just had a threesome and we're all going to jail why are you going to jail exactly i mean you know if they knew something was messed up there why are you guys all going to jail so anyway they so as we'll read the article you'll see how much they cut out and how he managed to cut it into this kind of fun consensual experience that was just everyone was having a good time and to what really happened which was very dark and messed up and traumatic and was basically you know essay right so let's read let's continue reading um hannah told insider she felt pressured by dom and the other vlog squad members into helping them create content that objectified her she said dom took turns interacting with hannah and her friends and then he pulled her onto his lap at one point asking without asking permission it was very much an environment where it felt like saying no was not okay hannah said it felt like from the moment we came there there was an expectation that they were doing us a favor and we had to give them content they were verbally like why aren't you guys being fun do something sort of sexy anna said dom started calling her baby and asking her if she wanted to be his instagram girlfriend she said dom told her she could make ten thousand dollars a week and become famous if she agreed but hannah says she declined and dom briefly seemed to move on from her as the night went on hannah says don became aggressive now this is something dom's known for previously he apologized for like groping girls at vidcon and had to make an apology you know this is this is his shtick if that's a schtick being a basically a predator a while later hannah said dom approached her again and asked if he could talk to her she agreed and dom led her out of the room with her friends down an alleyway and into a pitch dark bedroom hannah said dom guided her in through the door and she said she quickly turned around and told him that she wanted to go back to where friends were but don blocked the exit with his body hannah said and started asking her why she didn't like him and wouldn't date him hannah said dom asked if they could hook up she said no he was like no you are at least gonna have to give me a kiss hannah said i was getting really scared because he wasn't letting me leave and my friends were in a totally different part of the house so i said what happens if i keep saying no so i gave him a kiss she returned to where her friends were sitting and she said she said and turned around and around that time she said a couple members of the vlog squad returned with a bottle of dark colored liquor trisha paytas a former vlog squad member told insider she was at the apartment for about 45 minutes that night with hannah and her friends paytas said the night was not a good situation she said she left because the women were drinking while under age which felt insane to her pedes also said the woman made it clear they did not want to have group sex with dom they were like oh [ __ ] we're here but we don't want to have sex peda said pedes told insider the vlog squad jeff whittick went to go buy liquor for the party after she told nash her boyfriend at the time not to pedes said she and nash left before whittak got back yeah i mean that's all supported in the in the vlog also there's there's video from trisha's vlog that shows that she left before oh yeah that's in the document it's funny they're trying to discredit that's all trisha's they the david's lawyers who tried to like be like you can't print this because trish is one of your sources and she's she has a mental illness it's like she's in the video they cite her such a small amount um and it's everything she says is totally supported by the video evidence you know and by the way jason you're probably pretty happy that your crazy girlfriend commits you to leave the party now yeah yikes of course trish is the only one with sense in that room [Applause] i think this is a part that david's lawyers made them right betas and national no longer dating and she has frequently criticized dobrick and national social media including for what she claims is a pattern of behavior that exploits young women she also made a tick tock stating that she once crashed her car into nash's house while high on meth well worth standing i guess david dobrik's fans have questioned paid us credibility including by citing her history of negative posts about delbrick and ash there's a whole argument maybe i'll pull this up at this point trisha and this guy date uh what's his name um whitake just jeff whitake they were getting into it on twitter which i'll pull up arguing about because he said i didn't bring the alcohol he said i was only there for 15 minutes but like you can see him looking in the room which was apparently hours later so that doesn't make sense um trying to find a it's at the top of the dock yeah thank you here's the exchange this just happened of jeff's response basically to the allegation that he was the one that bought the alcohol trisha said david you really just tried to shift all the blame on domi's you sick [ __ ] jeff and todd went all bought alcohol for the girls to [ __ ] vlog shows them not into it and then cuts to them having sex jeff responded he said we didn't buy anything for anyone i willingly called that reporter because i know i'm innocent in this situation i'm not perfect but i 100 didn't do what you're accusing me of and i'm willing to go to any extent to prove it i mean i don't know what extent you could possibly go to but how do you explain underage girls getting the alcohol where do you explain how the girls had a change of heart as david said in the vlog what was the convincing that happened you guys were there at the start of the vlog and the end exactly he said i can't explain what i don't know i was there for 15 minutes i i got it i mean listen you were there at the beginning of the end like tricia said so that explanation of 15 minutes doesn't quite make sense all i know is what you and only you are accusing me of is false maybe dom bought it maybe you did maybe one of the girls did i'm just saying it definitely wasn't me or todd nobody told me [ __ ] i thought it was a conceptual bit sorry i didn't say hi at the starbucks that one time apparently apparently he thinks that's i don't know what's the story with that a.b does he think that's why trisha hates him well i supposedly yeah they ran into each other at a starbucks and uh he didn't say hi and then trisha made a video calling him out yeah that sounds like trisha you should have said hi i agree not the worst crime in this article though yeah far from the uh i worst crime missing details so i'm just recalling from what i've seen a few years ago so nobody be mad anyway just just to give jeff a fair shake here i'm just going to read his statement he says his heart goes out to the victim i'm truly sorry you're in the situation um the disgusting action dom had committed to you i absolutely do not condone i've done a lot of dumb [ __ ] in my life but if i was in the room and a girl was being assaulted i would absolutely never let that happen my involvement in the video was under depression was consensual i have absolutely nothing to do with nor any influence with this disgusting act nor did i purchase or allow this to happen purchase alcohol i have tremendous respect for all the women for all women it would not let any action like this happen to anyone with much love and respect i mean like i just need to get this one medicine and i kind of need to do it right now you gotta go right now is it i just need to like be on my phone for a second oh sure okay yeah i just didn't want to seem weird it's okay i'm glad you explained it okay i don't know what to make of this like how much blame do all the guys there have i mean jeff looked in the room he said i have to check for the vlog i don't know i mean excluding the whole buying alcohol thing anyway let's continue hannah's friend sarah who said she didn't drink that night because she was driving told insider she remembers todd asking the group what kind of alcohol people wanted i mean sarah also said she remembers smith and whitak coming back to the apartment with smith holding a bottle of jack daniel's whiskey oh well then that's the sober friend and that's a second detail in his tweets that just got he said that trisha is the only one accusing him of that it sounds like that's not true yeah the sober friend is is directly calling him out for it so that's two things that he tweeted that are directly contradicted uh trisha says it was that dope uh david's direction to go and remember these girls are underage they're they're not of drinking age sarah shared a photo with insider oh sarah the sober friend shared a photo with insider of dom sitting with hannah and her friend alongside a bottle of jack daniel whiskey and a two liter bottle of pepsi that's what i'm saying they've got the [ __ ] receipts they do they have receipts for everything in this story so they were drinking and they were underage you know someone bought it i guess we'll never i mean according to her it was them and they were clearly trying to get footage of them having sex yeah which he walked it's like the theme of the vlog that was the whole thing and that is known for a fact the fact that they were drinking is got backup and receipts so it's it's hard to argue man this is like a really well it isn't an argument really and a phone call with insider whitak denied buying the alcohol and said he didn't think that smith would have bought it either though he admits that smith loves whiskey interesting uh good thing to mention there jeff well it sounds like if it was anyone it was this guy todd because sarah said he's the one that was asking people what they wanted to drink but okay whatever who knows at this point i can't really remember much hannah said i just remember being really uncomfortable and being honestly really upset and angry that my friend thought these guys were cool and that they were really just objectifying and gross this is todd i think right yeah this is todd the guy this is the guy she's saying brought the whiskey hannah's friend says that dom had sex with her while she was blacked out hannah said she drank so much alcohol that night that she filled the she filmed with the vlog squad that she filmed with the vlog squad that she blocked she bla she blacked out sarah told insider that hannah wanted to go to dom's room with dom and their friend audrey though sarah said she could tell that hannah was drunk she was comfortable with letting her go into the room because hannah wouldn't be alone with dom i just remember seeing her and dom talking a lot added sarah who said hannah and dom were both drinking they were both on the floor and definitely a lot of alcohol is being exchanged and kind of like nudging toward her there are definitely times when she was drinking on her own but there were also times when he was clearly trying to get her more drunk sarah said hannah was able to walk into the room but that she could tell hannah was drunk because she was started excessively and expressing abstract thoughts things that sarah said hannah usually did when she was drunk she was not fully coherent and articulate sarah said you could tell she was definitely affected by something it was very obvious in the way she was speaking which was very fast and a lot once hannah and audrey were in the room with with dom sarah said the other vlog squad members started listening in some of them even opened the door to look at what was happening sarah said in retrospect she thought it was disgusting that people were watching again that's in the video once again so can't dispute that obviously she did not consent to the act itself but she especially did not consent to having multiple men peeking in their heads to confirm what was happening by the way recall them being like oh i'm getting horny they look good he says they look good it's like okay sarah said sarah said that uh dom locked the door to the bedroom at one point while he was having sex to stop the vlog sweat members from coming in sarah said dobrick was among the vlog sword members trying to look into the room she shared a video of dobrik she took that night with insider in which dobre can see can be seen responding to someone asking if he found success in getting into the room with dom hannah and audrey no he locked the door dobre responds in the video cameron hands again like receipts are crazy she filmed this showed it to insider i mean they really saved this [ __ ] which i think just goes to show how messed up they knew it was even in that moment that they were like still have this stuff on hand sarah said that dom and audrey came out of the room first and that sarah went in after him to find hannah laying limp on the bed sarah said she was immediately concerned and that she remembered hannah tugging on her ear and asking where her earrings was hannah said she does not remember having sex with dom and that audrey told her dom performed sexual acts on her that were penetrative specifically hannah and audrey told her that dom was having sex with hannah and didn't stop as hannah showed sides of losing consciousness so audrey took over to get dom to stop audrey declined to comment but in a text she sent to hannah this month about their night with dom she wrote i remember you were starting to close your eyes and you were obviously so drunk i finished him off just to get him away from you after dom finished hannah said she was too drunk to dress herself what i do remember is lying on the bed in that room alone and my roommate at the time coming in and being super worried about putting my underwear on me because i couldn't do that by myself that is disturbing yeah and like especially when you remember how they reacted afterwards how he's all covered in sweat and they're like whoa thank you david so this is her ring and i've been blackout drunk i know what it's like you you don't remember anything yeah and i mean it's an awful feeling the next morning because you're like you don't know what happened to you and being around people that drunk it's like they're basically in a coma i mean yeah like you're they're not it's not a it's very clearly not a consensual exchange and you can tell based on that interaction with dom that he wasn't he didn't appear to be that drunk yeah he seems very like fairly coherent i mean yeah very coherent in that clip um sarah said that she and hannah's roommate took her into dom's bathroom where hannah couldn't stand up or sit on the toilet by herself sarah said hannah fell over and passed out on the bathroom floor briefly and when hannah's friend pulled her back up sarah said they had to pull trig that sling first forcing someone to vomit i've never heard that before paul trigg oh pull the trigger she pulled trigg i guess never heard that one she did now they explain the the the penal code defining the r word i mean whatever yadda yadda basically if a person is um not able to give consent that is yeah i think we all understand that to be true at this point but yeah the person is if a person is prevented from resisting by by being intoxicated or any controlled substance this condition is known or recently should have been known by the accused hannah never contacted the police and no charges were ever filed against dom after hannah threw up sarah and her friends had to physically support hannah's body as they exited the apartment sarah shared a photo with insider she says was taken that night that shows hannah leaning against one of their other friends outside the apartment dobrick uh smith whitaker and anton are visible in the picture in the background again recedes out the sarah ears she watched dobrik's tesla pull out the apartment building as she walked with hannah back to her car so he's out when the funds when the vlog is done david got the footage he's out sarah said hannah started to vomit again back at their dorm when she finally got hannah into her bed sarah said she started asking questions about what had happened dread started to seep in sarah said when hannah didn't seem to remember leaving campus at all the next morning hannah said she woke up and still felt extremely drunk when she looked at her phone she saw a text conversation with uh dom and photos from the night before she texted him that anything at your discretion is okay for the vlog just maybe not anything for future employment could use against me hannah said she still had no memory of having sex the night before then her friend woke up and sarah said she told hannah for a second time that dom had sex with her that's when i started internally freaking out because it's concerning enough that the first time she didn't remember it the second time was really scary what is she talking about the first and second time because she told her already one time and i think she was still kind of drunk so she didn't even remember that she told her i see yeah so she had to tell her again got it when she finally started to process the scope of what had been happened to her hannah said she tried to laugh it off for two days dobrek didn't post any of the footage of her of that night uh and she said she tried not to think about it then on november 28th the vlog came out you know you would think that these guys would understand the gravity that like this girl was blackout drunk puking and that to even try to edit that into some fun loving vlog just seems so it's just they it should have been apparent to them that that was not okay at the post i mean it's crazy and then with the guys peeking in everything i mean i i just i don't get it and they're so young she's just 20. hannah says she struggled to process the footage in dobrik's vlog and the vlog that featured hannah the bit around the threesome include scenes that sarah said were shot that night as well as scenes sarah said she thought was re-shot but made to look like it occurred that night in the scene shot as the sex was occurring dobrick and vlog squad members smith whittick antonion ernst and calvillo joke about uh dom having sex with hannah and audrey and one scene whitake is standing in the hallway outside of dom's room and says we need to get in there to get a head count for the vlog whitake opens the door and tells dobrik there are three people in the room then anton anton and tanyan opens the door and says oh my god antonio i don't know i think yeah antonio oh my god while dobrick laughs smith said i'm kind of getting horny just listening to this in the form bro keep that to yourself jesus christ dude not charming creepy so not so not of something to share dude i'm thinking about going in there taking a turn vibes it just makes you sick i don't know what to say yeah someone said it's like a cat like oh dude i can't you know i never really followed david i was obviously aware i've seen a few vlogs and i knew he was like a talented guy talented videographer yeah i mean putting together i've seen some of them in the beginning and i thought it was really cool but how is this family friendly this is like straight up some casting couch [ __ ] like this is like one little skip away from being you know cast like bang bang [ __ ] yeah it's important yeah i was the one that said that i'm the same i knew of who he was but i really wasn't familiar with this guy's [ __ ] kids yeah and i i'm not family friendly apparently but this is i don't know what it is maybe it's the i think it's more more than anything not the content it's the controversy because before he was kind of free of controversy even though he's basically making casting couch videos and the next seed uh in the next scene dom is standing in his room drenched in sweat which we saw sarah said she don't believe this scene was shot while she and hannah were at the apartment right and that dom wasn't actually dripping sweat that night it kind of looked like it was set up like why would he be so sweaty like i could totally see david like putting water on on him and then because maybe they needed to like fix the plot so it looks like he just came out of the room it was fun it wasn't like a drunk girl puking who was blacked out drunk it was a fun experience where everyone had a good time todd says thanks david and gives him a high five after dobrik asked if it was his first threesome then dom asks ernst to smell his finger and iron says the finger smells like brandon's sister at the end of the vlog dobrick films himself smith and calvillo in the car we watch this they laugh and say you know they're going to jail see you in 20 years again they come with more receipts and a podcast interview with travis mills recorded the day the vlog with hannah was posted dobrick will call dom inviting the women over for a staged fivesome when they all got there they were like oh no i don't want to have sex i just i don't want to have sex dobrik told mills except two of the girls wanted to have sex so he ended up having a threesome which was still his first threesome was all very exciting for him mills asked if the other vlog squad members peeked into the room to confirm that dom was having sex with two women and they were depict as they were depicted in the vlog and delbrick said yeah well you know he didn't have sex with them unless we saw it with our own eyes i have that here i'm gonna pull that up so you guys can see it can you highlight it um i think it's right here i think i found it that's so wild because now knowing what we know went down in that room it's like he's saying he confirmed it with his own eyes that it did happen what is this it doesn't work it's just like all choppy you seen this yeah yeah i don't know it's a weird export can you just time stamp me or tell me where in the interview it is yeah something funky happened there adhd or so this is the interview where it happened the day after it was posted um does anyone have a time stamp for me the kb is working on it right you're muted baby i'm not sorry i'm looking for it right now um i'll come back to that so at any rate um i'll keep reading well we look for that uh dubrick went on to say that he was always pretty good at asking his friends for permission always pretty according to trisha like it was and seth too it was really like no he wouldn't take no for an answer right it was about coercion and eventually paying them off uh he was always pretty good at asking his friends for permission to put their quick clickbait worthy moments in a vlog there's no sex shown in the vlog but hannah told insider what ended up being portrayed in the video about her was totally misconstrued since it doesn't show the extent of her intoxication which you know if they actually showed that everyone be like dude what the f what dude what the f is this [ __ ] you know what i mean yeah it would seem like so because i've seen behind the scenes clearly he knew that video and it's work dude that oh my god yo you literally uh you were filming one of your friends i think his name's dom yes that's what i'm that's what i meant by behind the scenes video yo so i want to know that's all real 100 yeah yeah yeah uh you're talking about my video this morning uh yeah you just put out a video this morning yeah i'm the biggest david dover like and subscribe you're talking about the video i posted 20 minutes 20 minutes ago before i was just sitting in the bathroom before you came over here um yeah my uh my buddy dom made a instagram story and he's like i wanna have a five something night hit me up and this girl hit him up and she's like i have friends and she sent over all her friends instagram links and he's like yeah come through and seven of them ended up showing up and then they all they were when they all got there they were like oh no no i don't have sex i don't have sex and then like blatantly in front of in front of everybody yeah yeah well yeah they didn't have sex except except two of the girls wanted to have sex so we just ended up having a threesome which was still his first three summon it was very exciting for him so i well you guys sent like three of your friends in to confirm it was happening yeah i mean you know he didn't have sex with him unless we unless we saw it with our own eyes so is that like is is dom your friend that just is he like the playboy of the group not the playboy he's like the gross like the gross kid who'll have sex with anything uh the predator yeah it's all there man she so she says they cut out the extent of her intoxication it seemed like i had a super fun night with these famous vloggers basically which is not all what happened every single person i know is messaging me oh you were in david's vlog that's so cool or oh my god i saw you in the vlog on the day the vlog was released it was viewed more than eight hundred thousand times people came up to hand in the library and outline of the coffee shop to talk about it she said hannah said her little sister even texted her about overhearing people at hannah's old high school talking about the vlog in the bathroom it made hannah feel so alone she said it's difficult to describe how it feels knowing that millions of strangers have seen a video me and the night that affected me and traumatized me in nearly incomprehensible ways not knowing that anything was wrong hannah said first time hannah said she described what happened that night as the r word she said she was in the back of a cab in her hometown after a night of drinking with friends it was over winter break a month after being filmed with the vlog squad the next morning hannah said her friend asked her if she was remember if she remembers that she had a panic attack in the car and she started saying i was r-worded over and over again on the way home i don't want that to be my identity it's not my identity i can comfortably say though that i was the victim of our word but i don't identify as a victim hannah said that's just something that happened to me also that's why i didn't speak to anyone about it for a long time after she processed the events of the night with the vlog squad hannah said she did research about the legal system of california and decided it wouldn't be worth pursuing a case because she was so intoxicated at the time but she still wanted to do something on february 2nd 2019 pedes uploaded a since deleted video accusing dobrik of being an actual horrible person who said she along with nash exploited young women in his vlogs hannah watched the video and said it made her wonder if other women also felt objectified while filming with the vlog squad three months later after she last texted dom hannah decided to reach back out even after the vlog i think this is even after the vlog was gone hannah still struggled to find closure shortly before midnight on monday february 2019 hannah sent dom a long text message so this text message is really intense this one's crazy intent we can you highlight um i'd rather just show the the image of the message you have that maybe i see i don't but i'll let me see i can start reading it like this but i saw it on twitter the whole thing i'd rather read it from that oh it's in cat's twitter thread that's where we saw it yeah yeah yeah that that's in here so just pull that up real quick cat is the author who is going to be calling in uh pretty soon you get the medicine yeah um working on it here's a link to her tweet you posting it on discord thank you oh thank you okay here's the direct message perfect so this is the message she sent back in 2019 early 2019 so you know if any if anyone wants to say that this is like a cloud chase or something this happened like two years ago this message well before she ever went public or anything she said hey dom if you remember me my name is blank and we went through my friend blank when you needed some girls for your video again that was the whole thing right getting girls for for david's video it's important to remember that because david continually tries to keep all the blame on dom yeah but david is the one making money off of this absolutely i mean he and again remember he thanked david right on the night of november 25th my friend and i came to your house to shoot upon arriving i didn't intend to do anything sexual with you or any vlog squad member and my tent was further reaffirmed when i heard the sexist and demeaning language of your team within minutes of me being in your house you pulled me aside into a separate room and tried to initiate sexual behavior with me one-on-one to which i immediately physically and verbally rejected to my rejection you tried to make me feel guilty and persuade me to hook up with you saying come on baby i'm blocking me from leaving the room you made me feel very nervous and uncomfortable especially because i was away from anyone i knew and because you were an actual stranger i had never watched a video of yours or anyone in the vlog squad after a few minutes of back and forth between us i agreed to kiss you so that i could leave the room and return to my friends you let me leave i rejoined my friends in the main living room our one-on-one interaction reaffirmed my initial feelings that i did not want to participate in sexual contact with any of the men in the room as the night continued we chatted and i was open to getting to know you as a person the last thing i remember is being extremely drunk on your balcony apparently you and your team brought me hard alcohol that i drank and you me and my friend blank had a threesome which i have no memory of whatsoever to my understanding at some point during the threesome i was too drunk and laid on the bed and slept from what i've been told my friends had to come into the room and put on my clothes and underwear bra shirt shorts and shoes and i couldn't walk leaving the house before i left your house i threw up several times in the bathroom as well as in my own bathroom when i got home according to one of my friends i was passed out in your bathroom until she pulled trig for me when i got back to my dorm my friend helped me throw again throw up again and said i had no memory of what had just occurred when i woke up in the morning i had no idea how to participate in any kind of sexual action than i prior it's two hours later when the same friend mentioned the threesome to me under the impression that i had remembered at this point i was so drunk when i sent you the text message i was still drunk when i sent you a text message saying you could put any clip in the video that wouldn't be harmful to me or an employer at this point in time i don't feel the same the video disturbs and upsets me i did not feel like this is an accurate portrayal of me and it's not something i feel comfortable with being on the internet anymore it's incredibly disturbing to me to a video online that documents an entire night that i have no recollection of and have everyone around me view me as a reflected reflection of my character especially considering the mature content looking back on the experience i have take i feel taken advantage of as your friend may have recognized as the situation unfolded considering according to my friend's memory that people were joking about what is what is and is about what is isn't consensual is just a type of is and isn't consensual that people were joking about what is and isn't consensual and the joke about them going to jail at the end of the vlog these jokes and that [ __ ] show that perhaps it was weighing on their conscience once they saw how incoherent and drunk i was after patricia released her video i realized that my experience and gut feeling of discomfort being with you in that room was not an isolated experience to me i am reaching out now because it was taken taken me a while to process what happened i need for the video to be taken down for my own healing and peace of mind to which dom simply responded okay i respect your wishes the video is down which by the way unbelievable which by the way means that this he had a conversation because it was on david's channel right so he had to have a conversation with david explain why david needed to take down the video so david knew everything yeah that happened he read this text message i'm assuming for sure i mean assuming or he he's i don't think david would take down a video lightly you know how can you just respond that to somebody probably dude this guy probably doesn't even remember he's like oh just he probably gets texts like this every day he's like oh okay just another one of those girls exactly that are going to be difficult crazy dom bro that's all you're gonna say did you read this [ __ ] did you do you understand what she's saying okay he was basically just his response was basically okay okay his response was just k hey [ __ ] dude shit's crazy man anyway again hannah provided these screenshots to insider again this was two years ago so like why would she say this two years ago her story hasn't changed uh i read all this this is the hannah said she was glad the vlog was off dover's channel but she still deals with psychological effects of the night to this day when she drinks she says she still experiences panic attacks sometimes and she's having sex with a new partner after jake and she said sometimes she starts crying uncontrollably i have nightmares where i'm r-worded and i'm not dreaming and when i'm not dreaming i can't recall what dom's voice sounds like or what any of their voices sound like and when i have these dreams i hear his voice hannah said it's really [ __ ] weird and disturbing knowing that somewhere in my brain this incident is so alive at the same time hannah says she was processing her trauma dom's appearance in the vlogs were becoming less frequent and by the end of 2019 he had stopped appearing entirely in november 2019 dom uploaded a video explaining why he didn't appear on dobrick's channel anymore saying he wanted to pursue other opportunities dom has since released music as dirty dom along with dobrik style vlogs of his own this goes on to say you know dom has other accusations uh before this happened another youtuber this is the one i was talking about ali hardesty said that dom reached down her shirt to grope her bare breast without her consent in 2017 at a party he forcibly kissed her after she repeatedly told him to stop the same week the comedian elijah daniel accused dom of groping his friend three times without consent so this is like something he's just cruising around doing apparently so he posted an apology we can watch it but we can watch it i mean given all the context i've got it here it's still up an apology to oh she clicked oh she linked it for this what he did apparently um and by the way david now delete it not to now just even a few days ago by the way david's comment on this video was still there it is still there yeah it's still there no way that's wild so david responded let's see is it still there go down a little bit it's like oh my god it's still there he says proud of you dom being an idiot is easy owning up to it is tough glad you made this um being an idiot i don't know that necessarily describes what he did proud of you bruh yeah he favored it by the creator i'll thumb it up what well you know bruh i just want for visibility it's just crazy that it's still here you know i for visibility i'm gonna well the dislike i want if you dislike does it do anything if you dislike i don't think so i don't think how about no engagement no engagement so when was this apology video posted because this whole three years ago so prior to june 30th 2007 prior to what happened in the right because all of that happened in 2018 right so this was like a year before maybe or maybe like eight months before or something it's short so i'll play it for you guys just wanted to talk to you about some stuff that's been going on with vidcon overwhelming like majority by the conversations made him including from david was like great job buddy i'm so proud of you you're an idiot but we love you about me so i just wanted to make sure i got a story out there and let everyone know what's going on the accusations against me aren't 100 true but to an extent they are um sorry [Laughter] okay to what extent yeah to what extent are they like to the extent of like just up to here you touched it but like past years [Music] to what extent are they true dude crazy great job we're proud of you buddy we're so proud of you i am aggressive when talking to women i will say that and there's a difference between being forward and persistent yo by the way clearly he didn't learn anything no considering what happened like six months later but what i was doing was just too intense and now i'm working on that i've talked to somebody intense and aggressive is not a good way to describe your pickup your style of picking up girls and through their you know experience and perspective on the situation you know i i finally understand how disrespectful i've been first off i want to apologize to any guy or girl that i've personally disrespected myself and from here on out um for all the new people i meet and the people i know i'm going to make sure to be respectful second off i want to apologize to my roommates and friends that i create videos with for bringing negative bad energy into apologize to daddy videos i still want to be able to spawn creative goofy videos but i need to respect people's boundaries more one of the issues i'm addressing is filling people without their permission um there was a 15 year old girl that i filmed having fun at a party it was an 18 plus event but regardless of her age what i did was wrong because i didn't ask her permission to be in my content i personally reached out to the people i've disrespected in hopes that they'll accept my apology and obviously i understand that this apology won't help fix the mistakes that i made but regardless i still wanted to put it out there because it just needed to be said and i needed to get it off my chest yeah uh david dobrik proud of you dom being an idiot is easy owning up to it is tough glad you made it special you know what's really messed up you know this just goes to show how hard it is to come out um can you find me the video of the girl she some girl made a video accusing dom of doing these horrible things at vidcon uh her video was like dislike bombed people were calling her a liar i sent a link to just a tweet that i saw today that was good a girl giving in after saying no ten times is not consent interesting right you don't want you don't want to co you don't dude yeah it's not a [ __ ] this is what people need to like get used to understanding is basically what you did to get her to kiss all of them did yeah they all did it's like yeah you don't want to have you don't want to have a relations with somebody who's who doesn't you need to like convince to do it i mean david even says it in the vlog in the voiceover after master negotiation he negotiated his way in there by so this girl put out this video and this is why he's apologizing look at the dislikes ela she probably got a lot more from recent people supporting her but like she got [ __ ] on so hard clout chaser all this [ __ ] and then dom's video he's getting massive amounts of love and everybody forgives him being an idiot is easy but owning it you know yeah i want to read some of these trashy comments she uploaded a part two as well yeah hey guys so this okay well i believe her i mean what's not to believe how far do you have to stretch your imagination uh so anyway the apology dobrick's comment apparently so the this is dober comment i wasn't sure what this the significance of this was um hannah said finally that of course it would be nice to get an apology to get them to admit what they did was wrong i was exploited for content and stripped of my on my autonomy and a voice so that's the article pretty pretty pretty brutal damning [ __ ] so then we get into uh david's so-called apology video if you can call it that i don't know no you can't call it that um before we get into that seth by the way actually you know what let's watch it first because it's in response so get excited now there's a lot to take away from this first of all it's called let's talk likes dislikes and comments are disabled okay i guess let's not talk i'll talk you listen let's talk it's posted on the views channel which is by f which is a brand new channel it has like four videos on it by far he's got a second channel he wouldn't even posted that he's got david dobrik too not that one views why views mo so transparently yeah just because it has the least amount of subscribers yeah is trying to be accountable by but at the same time take zero accountability like it's crazy the view it doesn't even make sense there's like no rash like two okay you'd be like okay it's a second but putting it on view like there's no logical there's no justifiable explanation that it would go on views like what i don't think he tweeted it out or anything too so let's talk oh by the way you want to see something epicular you'll appreciate it just want to show off what a hilarious uh amazing person i am that uh just want to convince you that you did not make a mistake uh marrying me i never thought check this tweet out let's talk who can reply nobody thank you let the conversation thank you love that thank you thank you you want to marry me again i'll marry you again i'll renew my vows girl anytime you want all right let's talk guys get ready david i want to come on here real quick and address some conversations that have been going on on the internet um i you know i've made over 600 videos and i've made a bunch of tick tocks vines okay so don't cue the sales pitch please why does he bring this up why do you think he brings up how many videos he's made okay yeah so oh seriously why do you think he brings up really really talented um i made 600 videos i get hundreds i mean i don't know i think that's his sales page i think he thinks in a way it's an excuse because he makes so many so many videos something slip something of course is going to happen somebody of course is going to get r worded over the course of 600 videos little r word here a little essay there we all make mistakes that's true we i mean you know when you make that much content like you're going stuff is going to happen but like come on dude yeah um and i'm obsessed with what i do i love it it's weird to hear him not being like what i do that's his sales pitch you know when he talks to sponsors they get this exact line right i make 600 videos i am obsessed with what i do i just want to make people smile it's weird to hear them not being like oh being able to make people happy for a living and that's all that i want to do um that being said consent is something that's all i want to do but these people are trying to stop me from doing it these people are trying to stop me from doing what i love deceiving are you guys happy dude i am so [ __ ] pissed that i can't read the comments under this video what are we going to do by the way nice nickelodeon award behind him oh my god i just noticed that [Applause] kid's choice baby oh no let's slime this guy bring out the slime all is forgiven just give him a slime it's all good that's super super important to me whether i'm shooting with a friend or shooting with a stranger i always make sure that whatever the video i'm putting out i have the approval from that person okay well that's not what we hear from people maury did a paternity test will not claim and it's determined that to be not true not the father did that joke make sense sort of a little bit you know there's that meme where margot that that was funny thanks zac i thought this was good oh bro trisha goes hey david dobrik remember that night you asked to put in a bit i didn't want and i said no and you still put it in that's not consent bud love the bud oh shoot him with the bud trisha's gotta be feeling good in that not because like this is all terrible things but she's been [ __ ] she her character has been bending assassinated and being [ __ ] on and oh yeah and people not just david and his crew but all of his fans saying all this most horrible things about her everything she [ __ ] said she still gets it even now i mean her their replies are very like some people will still be like stop being obsessed with david right this isn't being obsessed with david thank you well people say that to us too but here's the thing trust me we're not obsessed with david look i'm just seeing this thing through dude that's it i never expected to go down this rabbit hole i didn't even want to interview seth originally i was like i was done after big nick and then he told me to talk to seth and i was like okay and that put us down this rabbit hole that like i'm just gonna i have to follow through you know so whatever but okay yes she yes she got high on math and drove a car into his house right right you know you remember the end of royal tenon bombs uh uh owen wilson's character gets high on meth and crashes the car into the party and runs over the dog i don't really remember that he puts on the indian war paint the native american warfare and i was like that was trisha i think it was mescaline not meth but oh man okay but the point stands yeah it's the same whoa that's crazy wow wow um and i also acknowledge that those times where a person can change their mind and they decide that zach can you do me a favor do you have some kind of sad violin music even just sad violin the song sad violin the iconic one thank you that's pretty good i get annoyed at everything in this video even now when he's saying um i can understand that sometimes people change their mind it's like even that is kind of blaming people and not himself also what are you talking about yeah you know during trauma people kind of change their mind because it takes them time to process what happened to them is that what you're talking about what's going on in your vlog where people are constantly changing their mind like what are you putting people through where they go oh you know what you did well that was [ __ ] up and i don't want to be in your video anymore he's like yeah that happens all the time hit me with that sad [ __ ] it hit me with sad violin that's that just it's different the iconic it's called sad violin yeah just hits on a different level dude boomer memes it's not boomer memes stop sad violin it's different you're out here calling me a boomer hey at least be self-aware right dude people are going to agree when that assassin island hits look zach can't even find it dude that tells me how old you find it you literally i have all this other sad music i'm just saying if you go to youtube it's type sad violin do i need i'm just gonna open it i'm just going to play it on youtube in the background watch this i remember one time you told me not to play that song look sad violin 60 minutes of the sad violin thank you how does this include paid promotions what the hell wait turn it turn it significantly down oh really yeah it's really loud like way down yeah there you go that's pretty good see please continue um and i also acknowledge that those times where a person can change their mind and they decide that they no longer want to be associated and no longer want to be in the video that i'm putting up and then i'll take the video down and there's also been moments where i've looked back on videos and i realized that these don't represent me anymore and they're hurtful you're just so great david what is he talking about i wish he would say what he's talking about it's like you want to have a conversation you want to talk okay i'm going to stop the sad music you want to talk but you're not talking about everything you're saying is super ambiguous you're making this huge sweeping generalizations like people ask and i remove i make videos i'm not like if you want to talk let's talk about what the [ __ ] you're talking about and unpack it and if you really want to grow and to learn on then like what the [ __ ] is this this is just and by the way if he has a pr or legal or whatever this is such a bad call mm-hmm he his response to all this has been the worst that every single turn right starting with scotty right and i wonder if that was just a result of him being able to get away with everything his whole career i do think so i think when someone gets away with stuff they think they're just going to continue to get away i feel like it probably went to his head he thinks he can play everyone he thinks well his even scotty said it's like my policy is to never respond and so he thinks like that's just they don't acknowledge anything and so i don't know well they're like well it worked this far so yeah they think it will work with everything but yeah it doesn't work with everything they decide that they no longer want to be associated and no longer want to be in the video that i'm putting up and then i'll take the video down and there's also been moments where i've looked back on videos and like i realized that these don't represent me anymore like what david they're hurtful are we talking or not i don't i don't want them up because i've grown you know as a content creator and as a person how are you going to take accountability and not tell us what you're talking about like posted um with the set situation i'm sorry to set okay that so because i like i said i i just want to make videos okay so he's sorry to seth despite he still doesn't go into any detail yeah what did what did you do to that sorry no but despite the fact that he sent texts assassinating his character and just spreading him to scotty to make a video about him where scotty said he's a piece of [ __ ] yeah he luke he wanted it a third time yeah uh so david what kind of [ __ ] apologies is to seth when was claudia's video just a week ago or yeah it was a week ago so what the [ __ ] are you apologizing for which part or oh seth responded i'll show that since we're at this part seth responded he tweeted directly at david he said not calling me to sincerely apologize man to man is equivalent to having me kiss a man without my consent i didn't understand the analogy did can someone help me uh not calling me doesn't necessarily apologize meant to admit um i think he's saying that was a [ __ ] apology right like i get what he's saying but i don't understand the equivalence comparison but at any rate he is confirming that david did not call him it's like if you were sorry to seth you would just [ __ ] have called him even now i think you could call him but even even if he didn't call just saying the way he says it is just so not going into any detail he doesn't explain anything it just doesn't are you sorry that you pranked him the first time the second time yeah like what are you sorry for can you can you just are you sorry that he had to move to atlanta and pick up his life are you sorry that when he asked you to remove the videos you offered to pay him off instead of removing them are you sorry that you sent his text messages and the voice memo to scotty and encouraged scotty to make that video assassinate his character which part are we sorry for for those of you guys who found everybody invited i'm sorry you did for those of you who didn't find it to be offensive i'm sorry they did wow i forgot about that one yeah he's like yo i got away with that so i could say anything whether you're participating or watching is enjoying and having a good time and i miss the mark with that one and i'm really sorry i truly truly am um i feel like some there was a write-up on our subreddit of someone who like works with us uh assault victims and she said he she's met people like him their theory was that david doesn't know why he's apologizing he doesn't understand what he did wrong he doesn't know why he's apologizing and that's why it's so like nebulous and and like you don't know what the [ __ ] he's talking about and it's like i'm sorry for this weird thing and it's like he doesn't know what he's apologizing he doesn't think he did anything wrong and so he doesn't know what he's apologizing for it could be that but don't you think too like it it feels very like crafted by a pr person to like you kind of mentioned before not necessarily tip people off that aren't even aware of what the accusations are to what's going on i feel like i think he's so obsessed with his own success and fame and growth and that's this is all he wants is to be famous bigger more famous more money but it's like he doesn't even want to say the r word in association with his name he doesn't even want to say you know anything that really happened because he's so scared of it being associated with him the problem is that this is a really bad pr move in my opinion because because people are not stupid people are going to want first of all the people who are angry are going to be more angry the people who don't know what he's talking about are going to be curious what the [ __ ] he's is he even talking about so they're going to go read if he you know um he's not doing himself any favors unless he really thinks he can just continue on afterwards like maybe he can maybe he's right you know what i mean the [ __ ] do i know he's done it so far with with people in my life that i don't film with anymore um like dom and you know the other people that no longer film with i i chose to distance myself because i don't align with some of the actions and i don't i don't stand for any kind of misconduct and i i'm i was just i've been really disappointed by some of my friends daddy david disappointed separated from a lot goes back to that great line from scotty's video where he says david doesn't have a bad bone in his body he doesn't even get mad he just gets disappointed daddy daddy so he is basically just shifting the blame to don all to dom and saying i don't stand with those actions right well i think david this is the legal defense where it's like this was all dom dom did the crime that i i was just there i had nothing to do with it but but obvious it's so obvious from the account and the story and everything that david was the one that orchestrated it he was it was just at my house and i filmed it and it's on my channel and i was telling everybody money from it yeah according to trisha he was the one that was encouraging guys to go buy alcohol to get these girls drunk so that they would as one of the girls quoted do something sexy you know what i mean you guys are so boring done for the content for your channel dom thanks david he said thanks for setting this up he said thank you david the guys peeking into the bedroom when they were having sex said i have to confirm for the vlog david said on the podcast that happened like the next day after he posted the day of he said you know we have to go in and confirm the head count for the vlog so what exactly which part are you trying to avoid responsibility for exactly you know it was just dumb or are you saying that you didn't know dom was a predator when you commented under his last video how proud you were of him for owning up to assaulting somebody i mean if anything he created this really unsafe situation for those girls he should have known better letting dom go along with them when everyone was drunk yeah he should have known he should have known that he's putting the girls in a situation that's not safe for them well he wanted that to happen for content and he cut out the part where the girl was black out drunk yeah to make it look and according to the girl they even went back and reshot some scenes to make it look so more happy-go-lucky right i think with any video i make my main purpose is to make people happy and and inspire people and i just i never want anything to get in the way of that i'm sorry if i let you down and things like that won't happen again and i learned from my mistakes um and i also believe that actions speak a lot louder than words and you know you can take my word for it i'm going to change but i'll also show you and i'll prove to you that what are you changing you didn't what are you changing you just blame dom you distance yourself you're disappointed you did apologize to seth i don't know what exactly for so i don't know what he's pledging to change exactly the mistakes i made before won't be happening which are yeah by the way just a little close up brought to you by kids choice awards 2021 kids choice for boys kids choice award nickelodeon get slimed idiot get inspired free victory yeah he's got crazy lawyers involved but they're not doing any [ __ ] help man maybe they're just really worried about actual legal um legal issues and they're trying to just because he you know there he's he's definitely exposed to a lawsuit from seth and this girl so maybe they're just trying to keep him from like losing everything i don't know so also there was an interesting little uh similarities david issuing an apology i guess people were when seth originally i made his video calling out david like a few years ago david made some kind of apology and you'll notice how many similarities there are between this apology and the last one um i you know i've made over 600 videos jason and i have made i don't know over 6 700 videos together i couldn't even tell yes and i've made a bunch of tick tocks vines instagram stories tweets the whole thing um and i'm obsessed with what i do i love being able to make people happy for a living and that's all that i want to do every every video i make every instagram i post everything i do i just want to cheer somebody up i want to make videos where everybody in it you know whether you're participating or watching is enjoying and having a good time and i miss the mark with that one i want them to have a positive experience when they're interacting with anything i produce and with that being said i feel like on a handful of occasions i've just missed the mark on that that's exactly the same pretty interesting right it's like he copy pasted his apology from whatever pr firm yeah the first time missed the mark just want to make people happy that's all by the way especially the bankers handling my bank account i just want to make my lawyers happy all right well we've got cat the author of the article on call so let's let's talk to her all right give me one second i'll bring her and let's see if she has anything to add to the conversation just ask her some questions i'm i have some questions for her she did a really good job on this um from a journalistic standpoint i mean well sourced well researched slam dunk all right one second you get your medicine lender in the lobby you're still waiting so do we need to go pick it up um no i think we will get it delivered sick eagle's hand oh she's there i see her hey can you hear me yeah i can how are you hi um let me pin you so yeah so dan is everything all good with your side before it looks good can you pin her or do i need to do that oh uh i got you okay thanks thank you can the audience see her fine should i just start okay cat first of all well well done on the article thank you so much thank you for reading it um i really appreciated hearing all of your thoughts going through it and going through all of like the receipts that the accusers provided and your reaction to the to david's video response i thought was really spot on am i going to be in trouble with insider for pirating your premium members only article no i mean you know your fair use law really well thank you so tell me how first of all how did you get um interested in writing this story because i didn't know i mean i've been pretty following all the vlog squad stuff and i had no idea about these accusations so how did it come across you yeah so honestly after um you guys started interviewing past vlog squad members um the insider digital culture team we started just kind of digging into the various people who had been a part of the vlog squad and like we started talking to um both like the former group members who had come forward to you guys and then also other people who have been involved with the group and from like our conversations with those people and our conversations with people who have just like reported on and are familiar with the vlog squad um we were able to find out essentially that there was this accuser who wanted to be anonymous but who had this really dark story um so i ended up getting connected with her hannah in the story a couple weeks ago and initially i figured that hannah's story would be a part of a much larger look at just like the culture created by the vlog squad but then when scotty posted his video um i just was like oh my gosh they're trying to shift the narrative before we even get a chance to see the extent of what people have again so do you think you think the scotty video was in response to your team and you inquiring with them did they know that you were working on this story that wasn't in response to us because we had not reached out to anybody um at that point but i did think just having heard hannah's story already and having that in the back of my mind i was like there's so much like dark stuff that has yet to come out about this group and then when scotty put a video out and initially um i remember like scotty's video when it first dropped all of the responses were like his own fans yeah it was really positive and i thought there was like a real danger that just this very like as you guys have both spoken about it like scotty's statement i was afraid it had the ability to make it no longer like a good environment to release hannah's story into um because i think part of the i think the timing was so important with this story um like if hannah had come forward a couple years ago when david was still producing vlogs regularly and everybody was obsessed with him i feel like she and whatever publication ran it would have had a really hard time um with like defending her and the reporting from all of david's supporters but right now it just felt like there was a moment um and this was the right time for people to unpack like something so severe yeah i think you're right about that i mean as we pointed out dom's first accuser made a video and she got absolutely destroyed and dom was allowed even by david himself in the comments as like great job dude owning you know your assault yeah yeah i think the alley hardesty thing is so fascinating um and ally's video like obviously like you said it was dislike bombed and i know a lot of people have spoken about how that impacted the trajectory of her career on youtube but it also empowered other survivors to come forward because um like i know hannah had like seen that video so it was sort of like this culmination of like the more things that come out about the vlog squad the more people are kind of starting to feel more comfortable saying oh like i can talk to my experiences as well i think it like makes people feel less alone um and then also just in terms of what people define as those types of experiences i think a lot of people tend to doubt themselves um especially in the immediate aftermath it's kind of like well maybe i'm the one who had it wrong like maybe i should have done something else in the situation and it takes like multiple people coming forward and saying actually the responsibility falls on dom and david and the rest of the famous adults there um to not put like strangers in a situation like that how was i know you had a lot of back and forth with david's lawyers how was that experienced was the team ever close to did they ever were persuasive and like i know they were probably trying to stop the publication of the article altogether um were they close to succeeding in doing that um i wouldn't say that i would say like obviously what's important in the reporting process when you have allegations like this is bringing forward all of the claims to the other side so they have an opportunity to respond and like flesh out like even if minor details in the story were pointed out as like inaccurate then that would be super important because ultimately the central claim is supported by all of those tiny details of what else happened that night so like in the reporting process i reached out to every single member of the vlog squad who was there i obviously reached out to trisha i reached out to everyone who's associated with david and then i also individually reached out to like brandon calvillo and nick antonian and jeff whitake and everyone else who was on camera at that point um and i think like with what david's lawyer eventually gave us as a statement to put in the article it's you know pretty clear that essentially they just wanted to reduce how much of like the responsibility would fall on david right um but i think especially with the central claim the fact that like it was dom who ultimately is being accused of this act um the fact that he didn't have a response to it and still has not had a response to it is really interesting to me um it makes me wonder since he put out that video a couple days ago if like dom will have a response at any point that video is kind of weird now it's almost like he was trying to shift the story before the article came out yeah and that was so strange to me because i had reached out to him um where with that text message that hannah had sent to him when she sent me that like she also sent me the number like that dom had responded with so i just like flat out texted him um and this was a day or two before his video came out and i said like hey is this dom um i think i tried to call him and he like didn't pick up and he was like who is this and i was like this is a reporter like is this dom um and he was like immediately without me even initially telling him what the claims were he was immediately like i won't be speaking to any publications until i put out a video um i was like what is this video even gonna be about he didn't know he didn't know what was the focus of your story when he put it there and then the next morning i like emailed him everything and then oh god got it so he probably thought you were just trying to get a comment on what he thought about everything going on he didn't realize the gravity of of of all this coming down on him yeah yeah the timing and the everything he said was just so bizarre knowing uh and then now especially looking back at it um are there more stories coming out is this like your big scoop i know you've been working on a lot on the vlog squad is there more to follow yeah we're definitely still working on like other leads um that we kind of started tugging at in the process of investigating this one um and i do definitely think that there will be more to come from our team on this topic with this one i was particularly just like hannah's story is so shocking like it's so severe i was like this has to come first and on its own so that nobody can be distracted from like what this woman experienced especially with it being such a part of the vlog it's it is so shocking it's just crazy and and so what do you make of the like that she says that she thinks that some of the scenes were shot at a different date yeah for example the one where dom comes out all sweaty and he's like thanks david what do you make of that what what was what do you what was your guys's kind of guess of why they did that yeah and when the both hannah and then her friend sarah when both of them were talking about this idea that some of the scenes were re-shot it all kind of tied back to um what they said to hannah in particular she felt like the whole vlog misconstrued which is the same thing that seth i think said like it was just this idea that david in his editing had like misconstrued what really happened that night um and particularly like you see the guys opening the door like poking their heads in and then when you see dom and he's like drenched in sweat um i think like the image that's conjured up in the viewer's head is like oh like it was a success it was it was positive in some way like it's super skeezy but like positive for dom um but also like you'll notice that the girls aren't there anymore that's what i was gonna say yeah yeah they've just been completely cut out of the narrative at that point and i think like to me especially in retrospect but even at the time it's just like regardless of whether these women were famous or not regardless of whether what happened was consensual or not like you're choosing to only tell the narrative from like the male perspective the women are literally just props for sure and then and i think it really shows um the level of i guess involvement on david david's part because it shows that he had a narrative he was trying to put together for his vlog and they even had to go and reshoot a scene to make it fit the narrative and i don't think that's even a stretch to assume i think he's known even amongst his friends and publicly that he's super committed to making sure these vlogs follow through and he's got this preconceived plot line because yeah if he if he just showed what happened after it would have looked awful right like the girls one can't even stand up yeah they're puking in the bathroom yeah they could have never showed that that wouldn't have been funny at all no right yeah i think david's even either described himself or some of his friends have described him as more of like a director which i think it has like a really interesting connotation to it because the idea that david is directing the narratives of his vlogs it makes sense um and then i think a lot of people have said i think especially following the article why do you even need to mention david like why does david have to be a part of these accusations like he isn't accused of hurting anyone so why even mention it all and it's like well david is if he's the director then it's like he is the one who facilitated all this and that's what hannah said basically like a direct quote from her was i feel like david in a lot of ways facilitated mine well it's especially interesting when you consider like okay let's assume that she's right and they re-shot this scene when dom comes out all sweaty so that means that under david's direction bomb thanked david which obviously implies that david had done something to make this threesome happen for him right which they specifically re-shot which it's just it's really interesting that uh how they chose to to convey that but i have to say i mean as far as articles go with these kinds of me too moments and these kinds of accusations is that there's always just enough room to question the accusations and the motives but but i feel like in the way that you guys were able to source this and write it and the amount of evidence that the victims were able to um provide you yeah is i don't see anyone even doubting the accounts and so i congratulate you on that um really excellent write-up and a fantastic job um with your sources and uh really well written and i think you did a fantastic job there so great work thank you so much yeah that means a lot um cat 10 barge 10 bart they said the name right cat 10 barge is the author of this article with insider you can find her on uh uh twitter what's your twitter sorry i'm not prepared yeah yeah we look forward to whatever comes next from you so fantastic work and thank you for calling in we appreciate it yeah thank you thank you guys for having me thanks scott bye thank you cat hey so um mom so wild we said it all we did it all yeah she did an amazing job i have to say i agree i didn't know what to expect but like that was a slam dunk especially through reading everything it's like everything is a link to the actual what they're talking about you know oh this was the video you didn't see that i wanted to show you so i don't know if you remember this but you ran into david in a bathroom and you threw hands with them i feel like that's what you look like fighting you see what i meant about the sweater you're wearing lena's watched that a million times oh my god i just hear her laughing yeah just cracking up with that watching that is that what you do if you saw david did you throw no i don't i'm not you're not i'm not into violence but i think that's a really funny video it could be you i mean we don't know oh whoa what a weird coincidence i just saw what you shared a b this article yeah i don't know if we want to show his face but i find the timing interesting that is very interesting timing because we just talked about this you see wait wait i recognize this guy's face the guy is the guy who spotted you guys he got sentenced oh that's him yeah yeah this is a new 30 minutes ago he was sentenced to three years in prison oh i don't mind showing it i think we've showed it before i think when we initially talked about it yeah three years for attacking journalists university historic church and some uh [ __ ] dumbass youtuber apparently that's me what a guy huh no wonder he's pretty much exactly what you would expect that guy to look like that's kind of scary only three years yeah i know like okay well whatever enjoy and whoever did it yesterday enjoy a few a glimpse into your future hopefully yeah um so that's about that thank you guys for tuning in to an important episode here yeah and um we will be back as usual on friday for after dark live thank you for coming and sitting in this episode of we're happy to have you oh yeah i mean this topic is um one that i find very interesting and i just i mean i i am kind of not happy but i'm kind of happy that we can like give platform to this topic because i think it's so important it's nice the people there's just so much misinformation about this kind of stuff and the more people get educated on it the better it's so it's so messed up to look at this one girl like from back of vidcon who made this video about how dom assaulted her and then everybody's like [ __ ] this girl she just wants it's like it's so messed up it's nice and even look even david was trying to do the same thing with seth so it's nice to give these people the credibility they deserve and these people are credible you know what i'm saying like these people these are credible accusations can't be more credible mm-hmm um i never thought we would get to such a heavy accusations yeah totally not this this like the set thing is horrible but yeah but this is really i mean no the set thing is really horrible like i don't want it i don't want it to demand we started with the big stuff which was more i just i mean said that to move across country yeah the [ __ ] like his experience was really just didn't i guess i didn't really think there was going to be more you know but i mean who knows what else is out there like he said we made hundreds of videos 600 videos 600 videos what else is in there yeah good point david we'll keep digging anyway guys we'll see you on friday thank you for watching thank you thank you thank you this is a serious message to everybody watching my update video right now peace and love peace and love i want to tell you please after the 20th of october no more fan mail and no objects to be signed if there's a date on the envelope it's going to be tossed i'm warning you with peace and love i have too much to do thank you thank you we're missing something all right we'll see you on friday everybody thanks bye bye bye [Music] so [Music] you

"I just want to make people happy... like the bankers handling my bank account" lmao Hila always has the most sneak attack shade

[u/kingkilby]

So upsetting to hear they got SWATTed again

[u/average_meh]

i understand that legally, apologizing directly for something could be seen as an admission of guilt if either Seth or Hannah choose to pursue legal action but holy shit this is the worst non apology apology I’ve ever seen in my life

[u/BigStinkyBaIIs]

Anyone else annoyed that David didn’t offer any apology or sympathy directly to the victim in his “apology”? His apology was entirely focused on himself and how he doesn’t associate with his friends anymore and will “do better”

He has no human emotion.

[u/PictishThunder]

I appreciate this episode so much. I don't know what else to say--I'm just so thankful that these voices are being heard, and that this isn't being swept under the rug.

[u/oddlylikable]

I love how he is saying in his "apology" video, that he only wants to cheer people up and make them laugh. How is rape funny or entertaining?

[u/inrainbeaus]

I was a bit of a party girl in my twenties and I can not tell you how many times something like this has happened to me. I didn't even begin to process the damage until I hit my 30s. It would be a struggle for me to find a female contact in my phone who doesn't have a story similar to this girl's.

This is not retracting consent. This is date rape. Straight up. David Dobrik encouraged, laughed at, and filmed date rape for the world to see. He is scum. This Dom guy is scum. Anyone who stands by them are scum.

I am very proud of and thankful for the women in this article for having the courage to share their story.

[u/blazeldude]

Ethan is right, that sad violin hits different 🙏

[u/Wintertime13]

I know people are sick of the David talk but I think it’s important they continue to cover it.
