From sexual misconduct allegations and accusations of copying other brands, more influencers have been seemingly canceled this year.
Afterward, three more males came forward, mostly on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram, and shared they had online sexual encounters with Charles, one of whom was apparently 17 at the time. The 17-year-old posted screenshots of his conversations with Charles, asserting that he continued to be flirty with him despite knowing he was underage. Another man, whose age seems to be unconfirmed, also shared his experience speaking with Charles in an explicit manner.
On April 1, after receiving endless backlash on social media, Charles uploaded a 14-minute YouTube video called “holding myself accountable,” in which he addressed all the grooming allegations. In the beginning, Charles noted that he was going to be candid. He did not prepare a script or plan what he wanted to say, unlike the video he uploaded two years prior called “No More Lies,” addressing the Tati Westbrook feud.
“It sucks, and it’s ridiculously embarrassing to admit this, but I’m desperate,” he said, explaining that his inexperience in dating and carelessness is why he tends to use Instagram and TikTok “like a dating app.” “That’s just not how dating works literally at all. It’s gross, it’s weird, and it’s desperation.”
“They said it directly to me. They said, ‘I’m sorry you were sexually assaulted.’ And I broke down,” Francois recalled to BuzzFeed News. “I called my mother and some of my close friends and I said, ‘I can’t believe that happened to me.'” In March, Dobrik launched Dispo, a camera-sharing application. The reviews section for Dispo on the Application Store then filled up with comments demanding that Dobrik take accountability for his past actions and apologize to those speaking out against him and the Vlog Squad.
The same day the story was published, Dobrik finally uploaded a short YouTube video on his second channel dedicated to his podcast, which has significantly less views than his main one, titled “Let’s talk.” In the video, which was only two and a half minutes long, Dobrik said that “consent is something that’s super, super important to me,” and went on to say that he did not agree with some of the videos he made in the past. He also apologized to Francois for the incident.
In the days that followed Business Insider’s article, Dobrik lost many fans and major partnership deals, including SeatGeek, Dollar Shave Club and EA Sports, which gifted him a Lamborghini in 2019. Other brands that chose to distance themselves from or no longer intend to work with Dobrik were HelloFresh, DoorDash, General Mills, HBO Max, Facebook, and Audible, according to Insider.
“I’ve put myself in a lot of situations where I’ve needed to apologize for my past actions, and I’ve never done this correctly and I’ve never done this respectfully, and my last video is a testament to that,” he said. “I want to start this video off and say I fully believe the woman who came out against Dom and say she was sexually assaulted and raped by him. As was reported, the next day, I got consent to post the video.
On March 25, YouTube reportedly temporarily demonetized Dobrik and Zeglaitis on its platform, including all three of Dobrik’s channels and Zeglaitis’ personal one. Chikwenengere explained back in June 2020, during the push to support Black-owned businesses amid the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, Bernstein reached out to her saying she loved her “Silk Strappy Maxi dress” and asking if she’d be willing to send one. Though Chikwenengere was hesitant, she knew Bernstein had a large following and that publicity from her would help her business.
“I’m sick and tired of being accused of stealing designs or content that I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT. I am sick of screenshots of conversations without context or dates and part of something that looks similar,” Bernstein wrote. “There will always be something that someone can say looks similar. These ridiculous claims for 15 minutes of fame are unfounded and unfair.
“She wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself,” Stodden, who goes by them/they pronouns, told the outlet. “Things like, ‘I can’t wait for you to die.’” “Not a lot of people are lucky enough to be held accountable for all their past bulls–t in front of the entire world. I’m mortified and sad at who I used to be,” Teigen wrote. “I was an insecure, attention seeking troll. I am ashamed and completely embarrassed at my behavior but that is nothing compared to how I made Courtney feel. I have worked so hard to give you guys joy and be beloved and the feeling of letting you down is nearly unbearable, truly.
