Content warning: This article contains subject matter that may disturb some readers. Discretion is advised. In March 2021, David Dobrik was called out for a whole slew of purported issues that happened behind the scenes of his viral, short-form videos. One such allegation included claims that former Vlog Squad member Durte Dom had sexually assaulted an intoxicated woman while Dobrik was filming one of his high-energy vlogs back in 2018. It was also alleged that Zeglaitis, Dobrik, and crew purchased alcohol for underage drinkers, and that women present at the video filming were pressured to create content that \u201cobjectified [them].\u201d Nearly six months after these allegations came to light, Dom has returned to YouTube to dispute the claims, with an appearance by Dobrik\u2019s former assistant, Cassandra. In his eleven-minute video, Dom claimed that he \u201chasn\u2019t done a good job of separating Durte Dom, the crazy party animal, guy that hooks up with a bunch of girls, and me, Dominykas.\u201d He went on to describe the purported events of the night in question, claiming that he, Hannah, and one of her friends went into his room to \u201chook up\u201d after everyone at the gathering had started drinking. Dom claimed that, while events were transpiring between the three individuals, David, Nick, Todd, and Jeff would \u201cpeek inside the room,\u201d stating that the guys \u201cdidn\u2019t say that there was anything was wrong, and didn\u2019t feel any type of way and didn\u2019t bring anything up.\u201d Zeglaitis then stated that Hannah had fallen asleep after their tryst was over, claiming that she\u2019d had been \u201cdrinking more than the other girls\u201d at the gathering. He alleged that Hannah\u2019s friend then helped her get dressed, and the crew left the party to go elsewhere. Dom then shared several alleged text messages between himself and Hannah, which seemed to show an purportedly cordial relationship between the two. Dom stated that, a few months later, Hannah texted him asking that Dobrik remove the video. At this point in the video, Zeglaitis brought in Dobrik\u2019s former assistant, Cassandra, to speak on the claims regarding the text messages that purportedly transpired between them. Cassandra notably broke into tears during her testimony, claiming that Dobrik was \u201cthis guy that would make his friends drink pee\u201d and hardly \u201cphilanthropic\u201d when she first met him in 2017. She went on to allege that, initially, Dobrik \u201cdid not want to take the video down.\u201d She then claimed to have contacted a lawyer, who reportedly advised the group to remove the video. \u201cOne of the things I was constantly mentioning was, that Dom maybe ***** a girl and that they should contact a lawyer, and that they should have removed themselves [in relation to] Dom because of that situation,\u201d she stated. Cassandra stated that she\u2019d agreed to appear in the video after interviewing Dom, claiming that \u201ca lot of things have come to my attention,\u201d and that she would be speaking out on the subject further at a later date. \u201cI f**ked up,\u201d Dom concluded his video. \u201cI thought that by us filming this video, it was just another fun, stupid vlog, and that everything would be fine, nobody was harmed. I was wrong. It impacted these girls, and it\u2019s gonna follow them for their whole lives.\u201d \u201cI know what we did that night wasn\u2019t right. We shouldn\u2019t have filmed that video. We shouldn\u2019t have put you guys in that position.\u201d Dom\u2019s video has been heavily criticized by viewers on YouTube. Both Hannah and David Dobrik have yet to comment on the situation at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
