"Creepy frat guy": Fans respond as Keemstar is accused of dating his assistant

YouTuber and podcast host Keemstar is being dragged by the Internet yet again for allegedly dating a woman much younger than him. After Daniel Keem announced his breakup from a 20-year-old woman, netizens now assume that the Mom’s Basement podcast co-host is dating his 20-year-old assistant.

The assistant Brantley, recently posted pictures of herself and Keemstar together on her Instagram and the Internet was quick to show concern for her.
