Durte Dom reveals he hasn\u2019t spoken to David Dobrik since sexual assault allegations YouTube: Dominykas \/ YouTube: David DobrikDisgraced Vlog Squad member Dominykas \u2018Durte Dom\u2019 Zeglaitis revealed he has not spoken to David Dobrik in over two years as numerous people came forward with sexual assault allegations against him. Durte Dom was one of the most recognizable influencers on David Dobrik\u2019s early vlogs, with the two riffing off each other for years. However, Dom has revealed he hasn\u2019t spoken to Dobrik in over two years \u2014 since he moved out of David\u2019s apartment \u2014 even as sexual assault allegations stacked up against the former Vlog Squad member. \u201cLast time I saw him was when we threw a party in January 2020,\u201d Dom explained on TheSync Podcast. \u201cIt was this party at USC. As I moved out of the apartment, I think that was his kind of way of [going] \u2018oh I don\u2019t have to go have to see him anymore.\u2019 That was the thing that was attaching him [to me]. \u201cAfter that, I haven\u2019t heard from him. Even when all those allegations and shit went down, not a peep from him. I think Jeff called me and he went \u2018oh you\u2019re a piece of sh*t\u2019 \u2014 he was just trying to cover his ass too. Now Jeff doesn\u2019t like David.\u201d It comes after numerous former Vlog Squad members, including the aforementioned Jeff Wittek, have spoken out about David Dobrik\u2019s conduct at the peak of his career. Many accused Dobrik of pressuring talent to do dangerous things on camera as well as being complicit in the sexual assault allegations. Claims of racism and sexist were also leveled against the star, creating an on-set atmosphere making co-workers feel \u201cworthless.\u201d His YouTube channels were demonetized, sponsors pulled out, but he managed to make a somewhat successful return to the limelight. While Durte Dom had his name tarnished, he was still grateful for the opportunities Dobrik\u2019s Vlog Squad offered him: \u201cI\u2019m blessed to have been in that position and to have been a part of something like this. Even David, I don\u2019t hate the guy, I appreciate the opportunities that were given to me.\u201d However, the nature of the Vlog Squad did lead to more content that pushed \u2014 and crossed \u2014 the boundaries of what was acceptable. \u201cPeople wanted to get more airtime because if they got more airtime they\u2019d get more clout from it. Everyone understood that if I\u2019m in front of David\u2019s camera, I\u2019m going to get more clout, brand deals, notoriety, whatever it is,\u201d he explained. \u201cThere was a constant competition for attention. My character on there, it was easy for me to do something and he\u2019ll turn it into [a video]. I had good ideas for little viral shit, and that\u2019s what he liked about me. \u201cIn the moment, I was like \u2018yeah dude I can pay my rent, getting some chicks to like me.\u2019 I was always pretty outgoing, the class clown. [I felt like] the popular kid, but I wasn\u2019t thinking about anything.\u201d This sentiment also extended to the various women in the video who spoke out against Dom, Dobrik, and other members of the Vlog Squad. \u201cBeing on the camera, you kind of choose this life. It comes with the territory. But for this college girl who\u2019s getting harassed and bullied for a decision she made of like \u2018oh I\u2019m just going to be in this video\u2019 \u2014 she wasn\u2019t thinking about it like \u2018people are going to look at me some type of way.\u2019\u201d \u201cThey\u2019re probably [pressured]. It was the height of all the vlog shit. It\u2019s everywhere, they\u2019re getting their names tarnished, and they\u2019re like \u2018fuck man this is not good.\u2019 In the spur of the moment, you\u2019re thinking \u2018hey this is just for fun\u2019, but\u2026\u201d While Durte Dom is back on YouTube, creating content under his real name Dominykas, he won\u2019t be surprised if more stars come forward with allegations against Dobrik as the star cuts former Vlog Squad members out of his life suddenly. \u201cIf I\u2019m ripping on Big Nick for being short and stupid, and then I just cut him out of my life, Big Nick is going to feel a certain type of way. He\u2019s going to feel like \u2018you just made me look like an idiot online and now you don\u2019t even say hi to me?\u2019 \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if someone like Jonah comes out soon.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
