Popular YouTube star, Shane Dawson has faced serious backlash following a resurfaced video of him pretending to masturbate to a picture of Willow Smith.
Dawson has been called out by Jada Pinkett Smith and Jaden Smith after he was seen in a video sexualizing Willow Smith when she was a minor.
This comes a day after Shane Dawson posted a 20-minute video in which he apologized for his past offensive actions, such as using blackface, using the n-word, and joking about pedophilia.
Dawson, who has more than 4.3 million YouTube subscribers, specifically addressed old sketch videos of him portraying Black, Asian, and Mexican people in stereotypical ways. He went on to apologize for using blackface as well as the n-word on his channel, and admitted those actions should’ve ended his career.
However, following his apology video, internet users uncovered an old video of the YouTube star pretending to masturbate while looking at a poster of an 11-year-old Willow Smith at the time.
