Griffin Johnson under fire for \u2018fake\u2019 apology after Dixie D\u2019Amelio drama YouTube: Griffin JohnsonGriffin Johnson has found himself in hot water once again after uploading a misleading apology video on August 12, following his scandalous breakup with former partner Dixie D\u2019Amelio. TikTok stars Johnson and D\u2019Amelio didn\u2019t have the smoothest breakup among internet celebrities. Following rumors of Johnson\u2019s infidelity, the couple unfollowed each other on social media to begin with. Despite denying the cheating allegations at first, D\u2019Amelio soon spoke out and all but confirmed the situation. While the former couple has been relatively quiet since the relationship came to an end, many expected an apology out of Johnson. With daily uploads still coming through on his YouTube channel, the messy breakup had to be brought up sooner or later. It finally seemed the 21-year-old was ready to address the controversy on August 12 with an upload titled \u2018I messed up.\u2019 However, the community soon erupted in a wave of backlash after hearing what the video was actually about. \u201cThe real story\u2026 of how I messed up,\u201d the description reads for his latest upload. Naturally, his near 1 million subscribers assumed this would be his apology to D\u2019Amelio. Though just seconds into the video, it appeared that wasn\u2019t the case and his wording was purely there to mislead viewers. \u201cI made a bet with Bryce that I was going to hit a million subs on YouTube before his birthday,\u201d he said. While \u201cit was a good run,\u201d he\u2019s still 15,000 away from reaching that goal. \u201cI messed up\u2026 just wanted to tell you guys I\u2019m sorry,\u201d he expressed sarcastically. Not only was the video title misleading, but Johnson also decided to post on a special day. August 12 is D\u2019Amelio\u2019s birthday and he even addressed her directly in the video. \u201cShoutout to Dixie, happy birthday to you. You\u2019ve done a lot for me so hope you have a good day doing whatever you\u2019re doing.\u201d Closing in on 10,000 dislikes at the time of writing, the video hasn\u2019t landed well with his audience. \u201cNo one actually cares about that stupid bet,\u201d one fan said. \u201cWe want to hear your apology to Dixie like she deserves.\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s more worried about a stupid bet than he is about cheating on a girl,\u201d another responded. \u201cHe actually said happy birthday Dixie, can you actually believe this man.\u201d The video was clearly intended to rile up his community and Johnson doubled down on this towards the end. \u201cThanks for watching this, I\u2019m sorry if you thought it was going to be something more. This is just really important to me,\u201d he concluded. There are no signs that he\u2019ll offer a more formal apology to his former partner anytime soon. While he doesn\u2019t seem all too phased by the breakup, D\u2019Amelio has revealed that she\u2019s not looking for a new relationship anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
