This article will look at Hannah’s story, the apology from David Dobrik, the accusation by actress Trisha Paytas, and the resignation of Dobrik from the board. Hannah’s story is not unique, however.
Hannah and her friends contacted Zeglaitis through an Instagram story. They responded to a message about a “fivesome” and took advantage of the opportunity to meet him.
Hannah’s experience
Hannah Zeglaitis’s sexual assault allegations were made public by the journalist David Dobrik after he filmed her entering her bedroom. He then edited the footage and posted it to YouTube. The video has received over five million views. Hannah later asked Dobrik to remove the video from his website. In the meantime, she continued to process her experience. She has not contacted the police, but she is deeply troubled by the effects of that night.
Hannah Hampton’s story began when she messaged Durte Dom on Instagram in November 2018. The man’s real name is Dominykas Zeglaitis. He played a sex addict in one of his Vlog Squad videos, but he also had an online persona aimed at women. His published vlog featured a comment in which he invited a group of college friends over for a “fivesome”. Hannah’s video shows that Dom pressured her to kiss him. After the sex, Hannah claimed that she fell asleep. Hannah’s friend then dressed her up.
Hannah was not the only one to experience sexual assault on YouTube. Other women have come forward with their own stories about David Dobrik. Hannah, a Vlog Squad extra, was raped by Zeglaitis in June 2018, and her friends were unable to prevent the rape. Dobrik and her friends were invited to the video as “fivesomes” and “fivesomes.” The women involved in the video were not aware that they were not supposed to have sex with him.
David Dobrik’s apology
After a rash of allegations about sexual assault and misconduct, David Dobrik has apologized for the incident and taken a step back from his business ventures. The co-founder of film camera app Dispo, Dobrik has been the subject of backlash from tech industry and media outlets. His company, HelloFresh, has cut ties with him, and he has stepped down from the board of the US women’s soccer team.
In his second video, Dobrik addressed accusations of rape against him, which surfaced after a Business Insider investigation into a Vlog Squad video. While Dobrik has apologized on several occasions, the allegations of rape against him remain unresolved. He has also been accused of creating a toxic work environment and forcing his collaborators to partake in uncomfortable sketches.
Former members of the Vlog Squad and the alleged victim of sexual assault have spoken out about the predatory nature of the Vlog Squad. They say Dobrik encouraged Seth Francois to kiss Jason Nash while blindfolded. They also claim that Dobrik pretended to be model Korinna Kopf. The YouTube star has apologized for the incidents and has released a video explaining his actions. The video has gone viral, gaining over half a million views in just a few hours.
Trisha Paytas’s accusation
Trisha Paytas has publicly called David Dobrik creepy and has been making vlogs about her bullying experiences with him. She also claims that Dobrik cheated on her with another man, Jason Nash, in one of his videos. The two have a history of infidelity, and Paytas claims that David assaulted her over the years.
The video was viewed over a million times in the past 24 hours and is now trending on YouTube. Despite the allegations, Dobrik has refused to take down the video, despite the woman’s repeated requests. Paytas’s accusation is the latest in a string of sexual assault allegations against Dobrik.
While Dobrik has apologized for letting fans down, he has not addressed the sexual assault claims made by Trisha Paytas. Moreover, he has censored the comments section of the video. In the meantime, Trisha and Ethan have interviewed Jeff Wittek, a man who was at David’s home the night of the alleged assault.
David Dobrik’s stepping down from board
David Dobrik is a YouTuber whose YouTube career rose in the mid-2010s after he made his name on Vine. He moved from Vine to YouTube, where he became one of the top YouTube creators, earning 18 million subscribers in the process. He’s now stepping down from his position on the board of Dispos and Audible, two major companies.
Dispo, the photo-sharing app co-founded by David Dobrik, has announced that Dobrik has resigned from the board of directors. Dispo is a company that aims to create an inclusive and empowering world through content. Dobrik’s departure comes after a recent report from Business Insider detailing sexual assault allegations against a former member of Dobrik’s Vlog Squad. On March 19, Dobrik’s YouTube view count dropped by 66 million.
In a recent video, Zeglaitis, an executive at Reddit, praised Dobrik as the “Gen Z Jimmy Fallon.” But the Wall Street Journal has reported that he has stepped down from regular vlogging and has focused his attention on other projects. After the allegations surfaced, many brands pulled their sponsorship deals with Dobrik.
