YouTuber Shane Dawson has come under fire after older problematic videos and comments have resurfaced.

One resurfaced video appears to show Dawson pretending to masturbate to a photo of 11-year-old Willow Smith and sexualizing the lyrics to her song "Whip My Hair." Jaden Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith both called out Dawson for the video on Twitter.

Dawson has lost over 1 million subscribers over the past two weeks, and people have been campaigning on social media for him to be held accountable. The YouTuber posted a video titled "Taking Accountability" in which he apologized for his past use of blackface, the N-word, and pedophilia jokes. "I'm willing to lose everything," Dawson says at one point in the video.

Despite his apology and public statements, a number of brands and celebrities have publicly cut ties with Dawson.
