Shane Dawson's fiancé Ryland Adams broke the couple's silence after Tati Westbrook's explosive video

• Ryland Adams broke his and Shane Dawson's social media silence for the first time since their initial reaction to beauty guru Tati Westbrook's "Breaking My Silence" video.
• Adams posted a photo on his Instagram story featuring himself and Dawson on Sunday evening, showing the two posing with a birthday cake.
• While the two were quick to speak out immediately following Westbrook's video, they've since been silent on social media.

Shane Dawson's fiancé, Ryland Adams, has broken the couple's silence on social media just under three weeks after beauty guru Tati Westbrook posted the explosive "Breaking My Silence" video that kicked off a wave of beauty YouTuber controversy.

The photo, which was posted on Adams' Instagram story on Sunday evening, shows both Dawson and Adams with a birthday cake that says, "Happy Birthday Shane." The couple was celebrating Shane's 32nd birthday.

This is the first time that either member of the couple have posted to social media since their initial responses to Westbrook's video, which was published on June 30. In the video, Westbrook alleged that Dawson and Jeffree Star manipulated her into posting a 2019 video that kicked off a feud with fellow beauty guru James Charles.

Dawson immediately took to an Instagram livestream with an audience of over 250,000 to dispute Westbrook's claims. Adams also issued an immediate response on social media, calling Westbrook's video "a master class in  manipulation" and saying she was a "two faced liar." Since their initial reactions, the couple has been completely silent even as other YouTubers, including most prominently Star, continued to respond to the controversy.

In the last month, companies including Target and Morphe distanced themselves from Dawson amid controversy over his old content. Dawson published an apology video titled "Taking Accountability" on June 26, apologizing for his past use of blackface, the N-word, and pedophilia jokes. Following the apology, however, Jaden Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith publically criticized Dawson for old footage that showed him pretending to masturbate to Willow Smith, who at the time would be 11 years old.
