Recently, David Dobrik held an entire hour long podcast discussing his version of Jeff Wittek’s accident which differs a great deal from Jeff’s version of the story, leaving a lot of fans confused. David admits that he has not had the best communication with Jeff, simply because he didn’t know how to act after the accident.
He says that he views Jeff as a really tough guy and didn’t really know if he’d appreciate being constantly checked up on or leaving him to his own devices. He said that they have been paying 100% of Jeff’s medical expenses but the only reason why they haven’t done so recently was because Jeff’s assistant didn’t get back to them.
Jeff Wittek finally sues David Dobrik
He says he takes 100% of the blame for what happened, but says he is being made to feel like he needs to take 150% of the blame.
David maintains that Jeff was the one that wanted to swing from the excavator, and he even showed receipts, a DM from Jeff with an attached video of a guy doing a similar stunt saying “Let’s recreate this”, David got a lot of positive comments from this podcast. Jeff however went and made a video within hours clapping back and commenting on a few points in the video where he felt that David didn’t exactly tell the whole entire story.
Initially he addressed the part where David told the audience it was his idea, and Jeff did not deny that, however, he did say that he expected the stunt to go sort of like a tire swing on a tree, he did not expect David to whip him all the way around at 60MPH and put his life in danger. He said that part was never discussed with him.
David went so far as to say that he promised Jeff in the hospital, while Jeff was suffering from both a brain and an eye injury, that he would never tell anyone that the stunt was Jeff’s idea and he said up until recently he kept the promise, but he broke it in a documentary with Casey Neistat.
Jeff says that he never asked David not to tell anyone that the stunt was his idea, especially not when he was in the hospital and potentially at death’s door. He says he did ask David not to frame the stunt like it was all Jeff’s idea and not to victim blame him, that was the only thing that Jeff asked for and at least according to Jeff, David could not provide that.
Then Jeff addressed the Hawaii situation in which he thought the vlog squad was going to discuss the whole Durty Dom situation in which a girl was allegedly raped by a member of the vlog squad, but Jeff said that instead of bringing the vlog squad together to talk about things that were happening, a camera was shoved in their face instead and Jeff had to act all happy about a trip to Hawaii that David supposedly gifted him, even when he wasn’t even going to get to go because he had surgery booked.
David tried to claim that he had no idea when Jeff’s surgery was but Jeff maintains that that is not true because booking a surgery is not like booking a haircut, surgeries are booked way in advance. Also, if Jeff is still using David’s insurance company then David is going to have some sort of knowledge of when the surgery is if he’s the one that paying the bills.
Jeff says that the insurance company that David has is the worst insurance company ever so there might be some discrepancy on their part but Jeff also said that his own assistant always checks for emails regarding payment for medical bills and nothing ever comes in from David’s end.
In David’s podcast, Jason Nash, who recently left Jeff Wittek’s podcast, was on and they were discussing the whole matter. David said that was hard to see, but also said the way that Jason Nash was acting in the video was not even the real him and basically accused David of coaching him off-screen to say and do whatever to make David look good.
Jeff ended the video by saying that he would be handling things legally going forward and he is going to let the courts decide who is right from now on. People are coming out in support of Jeff in his comments. Ethan Klein had previously offered to hook him up with the best of lawyers, and since Jeff came and apologized to Ethan about the whole thing where his friend came to his house… he might just take him up on that offer. Stay tuned!!!
