📹 YouTuber Shane Dawson disappeared under growing backlash this week against his old racist content, along with his conduct and statements regarding children and pedophiles that many deemed to be inappropriate.
Dawson's explosive written response and video apology were drowned out by angry comments and exposé videos — which also targeted his frequent collaborator Jeffree Star.
Together, Dawson and Star have spent the past two years cultivating controversy for their own benefit, but the tide has now turned against them, and they're losing friends and followers.
Notably, Dawson was called out Saturday by Jada Pinkett Smith and Jaden Smith, and on Monday, Target told Insider that they were in the process of removing his books from shelves. On Tuesday, Dawson was demonetized by YouTube and his makeup was dropped by Morphe.
