Body language analyst breaks down David Dobrik\u2019s second apology: \u201cGenuine for the wrong reasons\u201d David Dobrik YouTubePopular YouTube Body Language Analyst, Logan Portenier, looked through David Dobrik\u2019s second apology to break down the embattled Vlog Squad leader\u2019s video \u2013 but the Observe channel\u2019s host wasn\u2019t impressed by what was presented. Dobrik and his Vlog Squad YouTube collective are still reeling from sexual abuse allegations toward Dominykas Zeglaitis, better known as Durte Dom. After the initial waves of backlash, Dobrik, 24, released an apology video that many saw as insincere. But for his follow-up attempt at addressing the allegations, he gave a much more pointed discussion about the things revolving around his YouTube empire. While it looks and sounded sincere this time around, Portenier claimed Dobrik could be hitting all the right body language notes in his second apology \u201cperhaps for the wrong reasons.\u201d Throughout the video, Portenier spotted indications in Dobrik\u2019s eyes, mouth, nose, and overall countenance that would suggest he was being honest about the tolls he\u2019s endured from the allegations. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing actual emotion leaking out,\u201d Portenier explained. \u201cDavid isn\u2019t usually able to force emotions like this\u2026 The emotion that\u2019s leaking out here is genuine.\u201d There were more sections in the video that the body language analyst highlighted that he believed were from a real point of regret, pain, disgust, etc. However, that only works against Dobrik at this point, according to the expert. \u201cThe incident itself evoked a half-ass, lame apology several years later,\u201d he said, explaining how the pain and fear Dobrik expressed in his second video is marred by how ineffective the YouTuber\u2019s first attempt was. \u201cIf he had come out and immediately apologized and immediately went to the people then that would at least show that he [was aware] to apologize and to own up to his own idiocy.\u201d Dobrik has been losing followers, his reputation is tanking, sponsors are reportedly pulling out, and he\u2019s just losing money over this ordeal, something Portenier believes could be contributing to the YouTuber\u2019s genuine remorse in his second video. \u201cThat\u2019s my analysis of David Dobrik\u2019s apology: genuine, perhaps for the wrong reasons,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
