Ethan Dolan has been public about his struggles after the loss of his father in 2019, but this week, after the release of the documentary honoring his father\u2019s legacy, the spotlight has been shone back on him. Fans have been criticizing the way the YouTuber has looked as of late, with a breakout of acne being visible in most photos uploaded to social media. After seeing the comments, Ethan Dolan went to set the record straight on February 27. He opened up about his skin, which he said was \u201cout of [his] control,\u201d and targeted bullies harassing him for his \u201cbad luck.\u201d \u201cSo many people deal with acne, I can just imagine the comments they get about their appearance daily,\u201d he said. \u201cWe all know it\u2019s never cool or okay to pick on someone for their appearance and what\u2019s out of their control, but that\u2019s not going to stop people from doing it. Sh*tty people will continue to be sh*tty.\u201d However, the YouTuber reiterated to his followers \u2014 which total 8.3 million on Twitter and 9.2 million on Instagram \u2014 that acne and the way someone looks doesn\u2019t define them as a person, and all that matters is \u201cloving yourself.\u201d \u201cI do think the world is headed in a way better direction where people will take others feelings into consideration and be more supporting and accepting,\u201d he said, \u201cbut until it\u2019s fully there, it\u2019s important to focus on loving yourself so hateful people\u2019s words are meaningless. \u201cIf you\u2019re struggling with your skin, no matter how severe your conditions may be, I encourage you to embrace it. \u201cTalk yourself up, remind yourself of all of your great qualities and remember acne isn\u2019t a bad quality. I know it\u2019s easier said than done, honestly sometimes not even easily said, but just know you deserve to have confidence and you\u2019re not alone in this.\u201d https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B8sPbxaggI2\/ His brother also stepped in, with Grayson tweeting that the hate is undeserved. \u201cI\u2019ve seen a fair amount of tweets calling my brother \u2018ugly\u2019 because of his current acne breakout,\u201d he said. \u201cEthan isn\u2019t one to let things like this bother him but this sh*t doesn\u2019t sit right with me.\u201d \u201cMaking fun or putting someone down because of a physical appearance that is out of their control is ugly.\u201d I\u2019ve seen a fair amount of tweets calling my brother \u201cugly\u201d bc of his current acne breakout. E isn\u2019t one to let things like this bother him but this shit doesn\u2019t sit right w ME. Making fun or putting someone down bc of a physical appearance that is out of their control is ugly. \u2014 Grayson Dolan (@GraysonDolan) February 27, 2020 Ethan Dolan has mentioned that he and his brother have been going through a rough patch since the release of their self-directed documentary \u201cLosing A Best Friend\u201d in memoriam of their late father. Sean Dolan passed away in 2019, at the age of 50. He tweeted on February 26 about having \u201cthe most f**ked month\u201d in his life, but he\u2019s ready to leave all the hate behind and push forward for the rest of 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTuber Ethan Dolan slams \u201chateful\u201d followers over acne comments YouTube: Dolan TwinsOne half of the Dolan Twins, Ethan Dolan, has slammed \u201csh*tty people\u201d for criticising his appearance, with the Vine star-turned-YouTuber opening up candidly about his issues with acne.
