Jada Pinkett Smith and her son Jaden Smith are speaking out against YouTuber Shane Dawson for a resurfaced video clip showing Dawson 'sexualizing' Willow Smith when she was 11-years-old
"Blackface was something that I did a lot. Like, I did it a lot on my channel. There’s no excuse for it, there’s literally no excuse,” he said. "I made a video six years ago talking about it and I gave excuses. I knew it was wrong, I knew I never wanted to do it again, but I didn’t do the work. I didn’t actually look into the history of it and why it’s so wrong, and why people were so upset.". "As the Youth we need to create supporters who support us and our morals.
Though Dawson claimed he would "never talk about a child in any way that is inappropriate," he did not specifically address the clip regarding Smith. "I swear on my life, I am not somebody who would ever talk about a child, like in seriousness, I would never talk about a child in any way that is inappropriate," he said.
He also claimed that his controversial jokes were a result of past abuse from his childhood: "I took that pain and I turned it into jokes." YouTube has not responded to THR's request for comment.
