YouTuber Shane Dawson’s apology for racism and other inappropriate video content has backfired, though not quite unpredictably.
On Friday, Dawson posted a 20-minute video apologizing for previous work in which he wore Blackface, used the N-word, and joked about pedophilia. The latter count includes an old clip in which Dawson pretends to masturbate to a photo of Willow Smith, who was 11 years old at the time.
Smith’s brother Jaden and mother Jada both responded on Twitter.
SHANE DAWSON I AM DISGUSTED BY YOU. YOU SEXUALIZING AN 11 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO HAPPENS TO BE MY SISTER!!!!!! IS THE FURTHEST THING FROM FUNNY AND NOT OKAY IN THE SLIGHTEST BIT.
