YouTube community outraged as Brooke Houts returns after dog abuse video Brooke Houts, YouTubeYouTuber Brooke Houts sparked outrage across the net in 2019 after accidentally uploading footage of herself hitting and spitting on her pet dog \u2014 and now, the content creator has returned to social media, but netizens aren\u2019t happy with this update. Houts was met with widespread backlash in August 2019, after mistakenly uploading footage for a vlog that showed the YouTuber striking her pet Doberman Pinscher, Sphinx, and even spitting on the animal. The accidental upload quickly caught viewers\u2019 attention, who spread clips from the now-deleted video like wildfire across the net \u2014 even prompting involvement from the Los Angeles Police Department. haha hilarious prank @brookehouts !!! xD pic.twitter.com\/kjvmOnln7e \u2014 shoe (@shoe0nhead) August 7, 2019 The LAPD\u2019s Animal Cruelty Task Force investigated the content creator, ultimately ruling that Houts would be able to keep her pet, with TMZ reporting that law enforcement concluded their evidence didn\u2019t \u201csupport criminal charges.\u201d With social media stars like H3H3\u2019s Ethan Klein and Logan Paul putting Houts on blast for purported animal abuse, it makes sense that the YouTuber took a step back from social media \u2014 but she announced her return to content creation on March 6 with a video explaining her absence. https:\/\/twitter.com\/brookehouts\/status\/1158906113741299712?s=20 According to Houts, she wanted to find the right time to return to making videos, and has been focusing on her physical and mental health as well as joining a church group. \u201cThere was a lot of change that I had to go through before coming back to YouTube,\u201d she admitted. \u201cAnd I can confidently say that I\u2019ve honestly never been in a better place physically, mentally.\u201d https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=75U0YdxIi8M Despite her uplifting words, commenters are outraged at her return to the platform, and hit out at the YouTuber for mistreating her animal. \u201cLiterally nobody asked where you\u2019ve been,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cYou\u2019re disgusting.\u201d \u201cLets be real, she\u2019s only back because she isn\u2019t getting the income she used to,\u201d another commented. \u201cSis, I\u2019m sorry, but you\u2019re genuinely cancelled. You need to find another job.\u201d \u201cBrooke: Where I\u2019ve been,\u201d yet another chimed in. \u201cEverybody here: I was hoping in jail!\u201d In spite of her attempts at making a comeback, it seems like Hout\u2019s scandal continues to follow her \u2014 and there\u2019s no telling if critics will ever forget the disturbing video footage that led to her downfall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
