Over the weekend, on Twitter, both Jada Pinkett-Smith and Jaden Smith called out Shane Dawson’s behavior after an old clip of him seemingly masturbating to 19-year-old Willow Smith’s image when she was just 11.
The tweets from the Smith family came after Dawson, now 31, released a YouTube video entitled “Taking Accountability.”
In the video, Dawson, who has over 22 million subscribers, said:
“Blackface was something that I did a lot.
“I swear on my life, I am not somebody who would ever talk about a child, like in seriousness, I would never talk about a child in any way that is inappropriate,” Dawson said.
“It’s all gross,” Dawson added, “and I promise that is not real, that is not me.”
