Less than one month after a former Vlog Squad member accused Dobrik of racism and another member of sexual misconduct, more accusations were lobbed toward the group. Last night, Insider reported that an extra from a 2018 video accused another group member of sexual assault. The woman, who appeared briefly in a Vlog Squad video centered around member Dom Zeglaitis attempting to have group sex, says that she was too intoxicated to consent and that Zeglaitis raped her.

The video entitled "She Should Not Have Played With Fire" centers around Zeglaitis inviting over a group of women to engage in sexual acts for the vlog. Dobrik shot and edited footage of Zeglaitis and two women entering the bedroom with Vlog Squad members peering in and remarking upon their having sex. One woman, who went by Hannah in the article and was 20 at the time of the shoot, says that she was too intoxicated from alcohol supplied by the Vlog Squad to consent to Zeglaitis' advances. The footage, she says, inaccurately portrays the encounter. Before Dobrik removed the video at Hannah's request, it received more than 5 million views.

Insider reports that Zeglaitis refused to speak about the Vlog Squad, saying that he would talk about his "own achievements." He later declined to comment upon further requests.

Dobrik's attorney released a statement:

Anyone who knows [David Dobrik] knows he does not condone misconduct in any form. Vlog participants provide consent before anything is posted. Whenever consent is retracted, posts are removed. Any insinuation of wrongdoing is inaccurate and defamatory.

Last month, YouTuber Seth Francois, a former collaborator of Dobrik's, told Ethan Klein on the H3H3 podcast that the group sexually and racially victimized him. He says that he was tricked into kissing a member without consent in one video and was the target of racist jokes and pranks throughout his time with the Vlog Squad.
