Vlog Squad\u2019s Durte Dom apologizes & responds to \u2018unfair\u2019 allegations YouTube, Durte DomAfter weeks of silence, former Vlog Squad member Durte Dom has finally responded to a series of recent allegations made against him for sexually inappropriate behavior. Over the past month or so, David Dobrik\u2019s Vlog Squad have been beset by a long list of accusations surrounding sexual impropriety and assault. At the center of a number of these allegations has been Dominykas \u2018Durte Dom\u2019 Zeglaitis, who had not responded to any until now. The first allegations surfaced on March 17, 2021, when Dom was accused of sexual assault during a Vlog Squad content filming session back in 2018. As she explained, she was underage and after being given alcohol by the content creators, was \u201ctoo intoxicated to consent\u201d when Dom \u2018took advantage\u2019 of her. Then, on March 20, two more women alleged that Dom was sexually inappropriate toward them. Although Dobrik has posted two apologies responding to the recent accusations toward himself and his Vlog Squad, Dom had yet to officially respond to anything \u2014 until now. In a post shared to his Instagram story, Dom takes two paragraphs to apologize, explain that he finds the accusations \u201cmisleading,\u201d and make it known that he has donated money to charity. Just judging by reactions across social media, people don\u2019t seem thrilled with the latter two prongs of his three-pronged response. Dom starts by expressing empathy with his accusers: \u201cI want to sincerely apologize directly to the women involved in this incident. I definitely empathize with the pain that everyone has suffered in this matter.\u201d Then, he continues to counter those accusers\u2019 allegations: \u201cAs far as I am concerned, everything that occurred during the night in question was completely consensual. I believe the statements that have come out against me are entirely misleading and shed an incorrect light on my involvement.\u201d As Twitter replies show, people don\u2019t find the latter parts of his apology to be convincing. Dom says that his \u201ccharacter is being unfairly attacked,\u201d but social media appears unconvinced. Various reactions surround how \u201clate\u201d this apology is and how denial during an apology fails to show real accountability. Wanting to \u201cshow the world who I truly am,\u201d Dom explains that he has \u201cdonated my time as well as thousands of dollars to several women\u2019s right groups.\u201d A cursory glance at social media shows that people are not impressed by this statement and have instead focused more on Dom\u2019s assertion that he has been \u201cunfairly attacked.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
