There is a popular TikTok account that until very recently went by the name “Daniel Dobrik” and features a guy who looks startingly like the notorious YouTube celeb who’s currently being cancelled over some very serious allegations and critiques about the entire culture surrounding his content. The David doppelganger has stated many times that he is David Dobrik’s brother, but is this really true?

Friday morning Jeff Wittek uploaded a video simply titled “.” where he apologizes to SA victim Hannah for discrediting her in his now-deleted video “MY TRUTH.” He also explains that he’s can no longer see well out of his left eye and has lasting damage from the accident this past summer.

During Tuesday’s two Frenemies podcast response to the David Dobrik apology, Trisha Paytas let it slip that her ex-boyfriend, and close associate of David, Jason Nash has been trying to get in touch with her. The live chat asked Trisha to elaborate, so she obliged. Trisha says Jason, who has not spoken to her in years, tried to call her multiple times. When she did not pick up, he sent her text messages and Instagram DMS, which she did not respond to either, but shared on the podcast.

A bombshell article published March 16 by Business Insider makes some serious allegations against David Dobrik-led Vlog Squad member Dominykas Zeglaitis, aka Durte Dom, and exposes the dark side of the highly popular and, seemingly, fun-fueled group of creators.

Seth Francois is the latest former David Dobrik friend and Vlog Squad member to speak out about mistreatment during his time with the popular group. Seth has previously apologized and spoken out about his involvement in racist jokes and is now opening up about what he describes as “sexual assault,” when he was pranked into making out with Jason Nash without his consent.

Most “scams” social media influencers are associated with involve faulty or potentially dangerous weight loss products, MLM schemes, products that are of a poorer quality than advertised, etc. These are not harmless, but they are far less severe than outright swindling money directly from followers’ bank accounts using bad checks. This is the type of scam that 22-year-old Instagram and YouTube influencer Kayla Massa pulled on her followers. She managed to get 45 of her followers to trust her enough to gain access to their bank accounts with the promise of bringing them riches. The only people Kayla was interested in enriching were herself and her accomplices. She was able to glean $1.5 million from her scheme before getting arrested this February.
