— Shane Dawson March 18, 2019 i feel like without my past i wouldnt be who I am today and i wouldnt be able to grow & spend my energy on things that actually mean something. this has been the best 2 years of my life & its because ive been able to drop the act & be myself. and im sorry for not doing it sooner
“I cannot believe that I am having to make this video,” Dawson’s 2018 apology video begins. “I am not a ... pedophile," he continues, using an obscenity for emphasis. Dawson apologized for"playing this character, this guy, who’s like crazy and will say anything and tries to make people laugh by shocking them."
Dawson tweeted on Sunday that the cat story was “fake,” and that it was “based on a dumb awful sketch idea I had years ago that I never made ," and that the decision to tell the story in a podcast anyway was “DISGUSTING and VERY VERY DUMB.”
