YouTubers The LaBrant Fam respond to outrage over prank on 6-year-old daughter Popular YouTubers and family vloggers Cole and Savannah LaBrant are coming under fire for their April Fool\u2019s prank \u2013 which made their 6-year-old daughter cry. The LaBrants pulled a major prank on their viewers during the holiday with a video titled, \u201cWe Have To Give Our Puppy Away\u2026 Saying Goodbye Forever.\u201d In the video, Cole and Savannah manage to convince their 6-year-old daughter, Everleigh, that they needed to give away their pomeranian, inciting an emotional outburst from the youngster that left the internet fuming. After receiving ample criticism for their prank, Cole and Savannah uploaded an apology video on April 3, where they claimed that they had ultimately meant to prank their audience, rather than their child. \u201cWe were going to April Fools you guys,\u201d Cole explained. \u201cThat was the whole plan. \u2026as we\u2019re talking, Everleigh hears us talking in the other room and she buries her face into a pillow and starts crying.\u201d Cole went on to admit that he wasn\u2019t sure if Everleigh was \u201cfake crying\u201d or not, since the family had been pranking each other all day; however, he later apologized to his daughter, and owned up to taking the joke \u201ctoo far.\u201d Despite the LaBrant\u2019s largely positive fanbase, the couple has been bombarded with hate following their prank video, with Savannah claiming that angry viewers had called for their children be removed by Child Protective Services. \u201cI would never tell someone because of a mistake that they made that they should go to jail, or they should get Child Protective Services and get their kids taken away from them,\u201d she said of the matter. \u201cI just think it\u2019s so wrong.\u201d While comments on both videos are disabled, the LaBrants did not do this themselves; they explained that the disabling was part of YouTube\u2019s effort to decrease pedophile rings on the platform, who use the comments section to alert other child predators of \u201cexplicit\u201d moments in videos featuring children. https:\/\/www.dexerto.com\/entertainment\/you-tube-terminates-hundreds-accounts-response-major-pedophile-scandal-387496This is far from the LaBrant\u2019s first controversy; Cole and Savannah garnered mass backlash for allegedly faking an evacuation of their home due to the California fires in summer 2018 \u2013 although the couple never directly addressed these claims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
