Shane Dawson claims he\u2019s \u201chorrified\u201d over his past in official YouTube return YouTube: shaneShane Dawson has officially made a comeback to YouTube over a year after being cancelled online, teasing a three-part documentary series focusing on the paranormal. In summer 2020, popular YouTuber Shane Dawson was met with an onslaught of backlash and criticism after clips from his older videos and podcasts surfaced online. Much of this content was criticized for being racist in nature and inappropriate. Even the likes of Jada Pinkett Smith called out Dawson for a comment he\u2019d made about her daughter, Willow Smith, sparking further outrage against him. The fallout that followed was nothing to sneeze at. Dawson lost over 400,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, and his collaborative \u2018Conspiracy\u2019 makeup line with beauty guru Jeffree Star was removed by Morphe in wake of the controversy. Nearly a year and a half has passed since Dawson published an apology video discussing the aforementioned scandals, and after quite a while of teasing a potential comeback on social media, he uploaded a forty-minute long video on October 7, 2021. In the video, Dawson addressed the drama from last year, claiming he felt \u201chorrified\u201d by the ordeal. Shane Dawson responds to past controversies in new YouTube video \u201cI definitely feel ashamed and embarrassed and horrified over a lot of the old clips and stuff that started coming out when I got canceled and all of that, awful,\u201d he said. \u201cThen it snowballed. It\u2019s weird, if I talk about it, how I really feel, people are gonna say, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re trying to get sympathy,\u2019 or whatever. So, I like, don\u2019t want to talk about it.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t want to be looked at as somebody who gave up and left and ran away from the internet because they were afraid of whatever,\u201d he said later on in the video. \u201cI left because I felt like I should, and I left because I needed time.\u201d (Topic begins at 7:30) Dawson\u2019s latest project is a three-part documentary series detailing hauntings and other such paranormal activity, with his newest YouTube upload being the first of these. Thus far, responses to Shane\u2019s comeback are decidedly mixed \u2014 but it looks like Dawson is focusing on creating content in spite of public opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
