David Dobrik’s career on the verge of collapse after multiple sexual misconduct allegations

According to Seth Francois, David Dobrik had told him that the “makeout prank” would involve him and internet personality Corinna Kopf. Ultimately, David Dobrik had her switched with 47-year-old Jason Nash against Francois' wishes. Francois revealed everything about the prank on anH3H3 podcast episode.

David Dobrik has defended himself from these claims, stating that he texted Francois and had received his consent before going ahead with the prank. The internet wasn't convinced as he asked for consent around six months before the prank took place.

Until recently, none of the women Trisha Paytas and Ethan Klein spoke about had gone public with the allegations. A woman named Hannah came forward with allegations of rape against Dobrik's former Vlog squad member Dominykas “Durte Dom” Zeglaitis after this.

In an interview with Business Insider, she alleged that Durte Dom had taken advantage of her when she was drunk. Hannah and her seven college friends were involved in a video shoot with Dobrik and his team back in November 2018.

The video had a “threesome plot,” and was taken off by David Dobrik at the behest of Hannah. This was only after the video had amassed around four million views on YouTube. A short clip where David Dobrik can be heard talking about going to jail due to the “threesome” vlog is also making the rounds on Twitter.

Finally, David Dobrik posted an apology video, but did not mention the allegations involving underage girls. Instead, he talked about how he was disappointed with Durte Dom and other members of his Vlog squad. Dobrik claimed that he had “distanced” himself from the specific individuals.

Additionally, Danielle “Bhad Bhabie” Bregoli posted on Twitter that she had her own story about David Dobrik and VIEWS podcast co-host Jason Nash. She claimed the pair owed her money, leading to a response from Ethan Klein.

With so many controversies emerging in recent weeks, there has been huge damage to David's career.
