Joey Graceffa is addressing a recently resurfaced video of he and Shane Dawson.
Joey, 29, took to his Twitter on Saturday (August 15) to release a statement regarding the clip where he laughed at racist jokes that Shane, 32, made.
“I want to address a clip that has recently resurfaced from a 2013 collaboration video for Shane Dawson’s channel that was deleted many years ago,” Joey wrote. “The video being circulated was from a makeup challenge where I ignorantly chose an improper shade of foundation – which led to Shane making some racists jokes. Although these ‘jokes’ made me uncomfortable, I was also complicit and at the time I was too intimidated to call out these offensive remarks.”
Joey continued: “Looking back, I am so disappointed and embarrassed in my own ignorance and cowardice. I take full responsibility for my mistakes, and for not putting a stop to what was happening right then and there. I am deeply sorry to those who were offended and disappointed by my participation in the video. I am too. While it was taken down many years ago, this still serves as a lesson that these issues should never be taken lightly – no matter what age you are.”
Shane has been coming under fire a lot lately, including trying to bring down James Charles in a grand scheme and sexualizing Willow Smith.
“I know I have lost trust with many of you,” Joey concluded. “Although I am not owed anything, I ask you all for the opportunity to earn your forgiveness as I have grown so much since then. I hope to regain your trust moving forward by continuing to use my platform to advocate against injustice, while educating myself along the way. Love, Joey.”

“Watching Tati Westbrook, a YouTuber in her 30s, older than myself…I’m 32…in her late 30s, make this video right now is actually crazy. Two things I’m going to say for the record right off the bat: I don’t defend Shane‘s underage jokes and racist jokes. He’s my friend, I won’t turn my back on him, I love him, I don’t support those things, wasn’t involved in this beauty community drama, looking at it from the outside. And two, this has nothing to do with my friendship with Jeffree Star,” she said.
“Tati is saying she made a video because she was manipulated by two grown adults. In that video, you accused James Charles of being a sexual predator, of sexual crimes. You should be investigated for making false criminal claims. You can’t backtrack. You can’t say someone else told me to do it. That came out of your mouth,” she went on to say.
“You’re a grown ass woman. You’re probably damn near 40. You can make that decision yourself. And why now are you deciding to speak up? Because it’s cool to hate Shane and Jeffree?”
“It’s just stupidity. Don’t say you were gaslit when in actuality you just have no intelligence,” she went on to say.
She also called out Tati for not speaking out about Black Lives Matter, as well as her crying over her beauty brand launch.
“B–h, if you’re scared for your f–king life, how about don’t do a launch? How about don’t do a public event if you’re scared for your life? How about go get security? How about stay low-key? Have someone else go to the launch if you need to release these products. This b–h got emotional because her brand got hurt.”
Shane recently went live to react to Tati‘s video. Here’s what he did…
