Jack Link\u2019s Jerky denies David Dobrik partnership after \u201cnon-consensual conduct\u201d claims Twitter\/Instagram: daviddobrikJerky company Jack Link\u2019s has denied that any partnership or collaboration occurred with David Dobrik in a video that a former Vlog Squad member described as \u201ctraumatizing\u201d, following non-consensual physical conduct. [jwplayer smynPnSq] On February 12, Seth Francois, who used to be in the Vlog Squad, explained that he was \u201ctouched by someone I did not consent to\u201d in a controversial makeout video. In the video, he believed he was to be kissing popular streamer Corinna Kopf but ended up locking lips with Dobrik\u2019s best friend and comedian Jason Nash. This exact prank ended up happening twice, despite Seth not consenting to it, and the first video is now unlisted and age-restricted on David\u2019s YouTube channel. It has amassed almost 10 million views. With some fans spotting some of Jack Link\u2019s products in the videos, they demanded answers from the jerky company, asking for comment on what they believed to be a collaboration or sponsorship. Now, Jack Link\u2019s have denied any partnership with Dobrik occurred, responding to multiple requests for information or explanation. Speaking of the video, they said: \u201cJack Link\u2019s does not tolerate or condone any non-consensual conduct such as what happened in this video. We vet partnerships to ensure individuals uphold the values of our company. This was not in partnership with our brand, & we stand against the kind of behavior it displayed.\u201d This was not a paid or sponsored partnership with our brand, and we do not tolerate or condone any non-consensual conduct such as what happened in this video. \u2014 Jack Link’s Jerky (@JackLinks) February 16, 2021 While Dobrik has not yet commented on the drama, the videos have been either unlisted or made private \u2014 and therefore unwatchable \u2014 on his channel, suggesting he\u2019s well aware of the issue and outrage it has caused. As for Jack Link\u2019s, the company is clearly keen to distance itself from the situation, and does not want to play any part in the videos that have traumatized multiple former Vlog Squad members. Whether Dobrik responds to the allegations and addresses his former friends\u2019 complaints remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
