Shane Dawson breaks social media silence again to tease YouTube return Instagram: Shane DawsonAlmost a year since his viral apology video in light of multiple controversies, former YouTube star Shane Dawson has broken his silence on social media and addressed his future. As one of the first true YouTube celebrities, Dawson amassed millions of followers online before he was caught in a wave of controversy throughout 2020. From a bizarre cat video to a heated clash with the Smith family, there was plenty to address in his now infamous apology video. In the 12 months since, Dawson has been relatively absent from social media. Despite commenting that his career was \u201cover\u201d back in February, he later hinted at a YouTube return in the following month. Now, Dawson has re-emerged online once again to clarify his future. \u201cI know I haven\u2019t posted a video in a long time and I promise it\u2019s not because I don\u2019t want to,\u201d he told fans in a June 9 Instagram post. \u201cI\u2019m just trying to stay in a good mindset and be happy.\u201d This update comes seven months since his last appearance on Instagram in particular. Meanwhile, both his YouTube and Twitter accounts have remained dormant since the June 27 apology video. Despite this considerable break in light of the numerous controversies, Dawson has confirmed he will be making a return sooner or later. \u201cI promise I\u2019m not going to abandon my channel after 15 years of creating,\u201d he said. \u201cJust been re-evaluating my life the last year and figuring out what I want to do with it. Life is short and I\u2019m grateful for every second of it. Hope you guys are doing well! I miss you!\u201d View this post on Instagram Obviously, it\u2019s still early days yet and this new update doesn\u2019t pinpoint a specific week or even month. Dawson could still be away from the spotlight for a good while yet. There\u2019s also no telling what his YouTube comeback might look like either. Dawson could return with a simple follow-up vlog or have an entirely new content series mapped out. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
