YouTuber Jeff Wittek has threatened to take legal action against Vlog Squad leader David Dobrik after the latter addressed the ongoing beef amongst the two on his Views podcast. Dobrik spoke in detail about Wittek’s traumatic eye injury and commented on him being responsible for Wittek walking off The Roast of Bryce Hall.

Tensions between the two former friends arose after Jeff Wittek sustained a horrific eye injury from the hands of David Dobrik. Wittek was hanging and was swung from a rope tied to an excavator operated by Dobrik.

Recently, David Dobrik apologized by saying:

“I’m so sorry that this happened to you, Jeff. And I wish it was easier to deal with this.”

What did Jeff Wittek say about the latest Views podcast episode?

In the recent Jeff FM podcast episode titled DISCUSSING WHAT *REALLY* HAPPENED, the 32-year-old was not pleased with Dobrik’s apology. While reacting to the latest Views podcast episode, he accused Dobrik of slander. He added:

“I appreciate it Dave, after the last hour of slander. I’m not going to beat you up anymore. I’m just going to take this the right way, the smart way and just let the courts decide. You know, you’re making a lot of statements here that are very untrue, that are so easy to disprove.”

With immense exasperation, Wittek continued:

“So, let’s just let the courts decide and you’ll have to sign a paper that says, 'Yeah, this was a lie and I’m guilty of this and this and that.' We can go that route about it because let’s be honest I get no points for beating you up.”
