Trisha Paytas slams David Dobrik\u2019s apology video: \u201cIt\u2019s cowardly\u201d Instagram: Trishapaytasbackup \/ Instagram: DaviddobrikWithin a day of David Dobrik posting an apology video in response to multiple controversies surrounding former Vlog Squad members, Trisha Paytas released her own follow-up, calling him \u201ccowardly.\u201d Throughout much of 2021, Dobrik has come under fire for a number of heated controversies. From ex-collaborators detailing their experience as \u201ctraumatizing,\u201d to others being accused of sexual assault, Dobrik has been at the center of it all. The social media star finally broke his silence on March 16 with a two-minute YouTube video. Throughout his response, Dobrik explained how he\u2019s \u201cgrown as a person\u201d and no longer \u201cagrees with some of the videos [he\u2019s] posted.\u201d While he specified two key examples, apologizing to Seth Francois and distancing himself from Dominykas Zeglaitis, otherwise known as \u2018Durte Dom,\u2019 Paytas believes this video was far from apologetic. \u201cIt\u2019s cowardly,\u201d she labeled it in a March 16 YouTube video of her own. In a 23 minute response, Paytas outlined much of her own experience with Dobrik while slamming his apology. \u201cHe\u2019s missing the whole point,\u201d she said. Rather than taking accountability for his actions, Paytas argues Dobrik was looking to \u201cshift all the blame. [He] didn\u2019t even acknowledge what he did is wrong.\u201d \u201cHe did not apologize,\u201d she continued in a series of posts on TikTok. \u201cHe said he distanced himself from Dom and other friends that made poor decisions. He gave a very brief apology to Seth without delving into what he did wrong.\u201d \u201cWhy do you have to deflect and try to put it on someone else? Less than a week ago, he was feeding Scott text to try and prove Seth was a liar. He\u2019s not sorry, he\u2019s just trying to save face.\u201d As a former member of the Vlog Squad, Paytas also explained how she experienced similar issues with Dobrik firsthand. \u201cI didn\u2019t give consent,\u201d she said in reference to numerous clips that made it into various vlogs. \u201cI don\u2019t think he understands what consent is at all.\u201d Dobrik is yet to issue any further statements since his March 16 YouTube apology. We\u2019ll provide any updates as further information comes to light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
