The YouTuber has produced a lot of cringe-y content prior to now, however Shane Dawson's leaked video with his 12-year-old cousin is critically disturbing.

YouTuber Shane Dawson has been within the industry of constructing content material and on-line influencing since, well, prior to those issues have been even thought to be professional occupation paths. In fresh years, old videos of Shane wearing blackface and making racist jokes have resurfaced. Not to mention, Shane frequently collaborates with makeup rich person Jeffree Star — which is something that has attracted a ton of pushback, taking into account Jeffree's previous, racist comments and actions.

Shane Dawson's leaked video incorporated his 12-year-old cousin.

Through the years, Shane has incorporated "jokes" about pedophilia in his content material for shock value. (Spoiler alert: Pedophilia isn't funny.) In one outdated video that has leaked, Shane and his ex-girlfriend Lisa Schwartz are noticed making extremely irrelevant jokes about intercourse with his 12-year-old female cousin — all in an attempt to train her concerning the "birds and the bees."

It's cringe-y AF, guys — so a lot so, that we are not even going to include it right here or link to it all. But it for sure exists.

Shane Dawson addressed the leaked video in a long apology.

"If you've been watching me for a while, then you know that I have done a lot of things in my past that I hate — that I wish I could make go away. That I try to make go away by deleting videos or un-tagging my Instagram things, or literally doing whatever I can to pretend like those things didn't happen," Shane stated in a YouTube video printed on June 26.

"Because yes, I apologized for a lot of them. But I'm 31, almost 32. Those apologies suck. I don't know who that person is anymore. Every apology video I've ever made has been from fear."

He continued, "It's me sitting at home thinking the whole world hates me, and crying, and hyperventilating — and then just turning on a web cam and just saying I'm sorry. And then hoping people know I'm a good person and then it'll go away. And that is stupid; that is something a child does, not something a 31-year-old man does. That's not good."

Shane went on to mention that "right now is very much a time of wanting people to be accountable, wanting punishment for people, and I agree ... This video is coming from a place of just wanting to own up to my sh-t."

The YouTuber addressed his previous racism, as well as a few different, specific, movies/comments from his past that continue to come back and hang-out him to at the present time. Among them, is a leaked video involving his 12-year-old cousin.

"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 was inappropriate. That is disgusting. That is gross. It is not something I would ever do," Shane advised his 23 million YouTube subscribers. "It is something I did for shock value, or because I thought it was funny, or like, 'Oh my god my child molester character.' Whatever. It's all gross. And I promise that is not real, that is not me."

He persevered, "Have I done sketches where kids were saying crazy things? Yes. Do I regret it? Yes."

That's when he in particular addressed the leaked video.  "I saw a vlog clip of me and my cousin, who was I don't know probably 12 or 13 at the time, and I was doing the 'birds and the bees' talk. Dumb, gross, sh-t," Shane said.

He went on to explain that he reached out to his cousin's mother (his aunt) a few years ago to say sorry for the video.

"And she was like, 'Oh my god, we know, we know. It's OK. It was funny. We all thought it was funny. That's just how our family is,'" he stated. "So I kind of took that as like, 'OK, well then I don't need to apologize for it.' But I do. Because I posted it on the internet for everyone, not just my family."

"I'm so sorry that I was just so thoughtless about things I was posting for so many years," Shane explained towards the end of his 20-minute apology video. "I thought, 'Oh, I'm in a weird category where I can say whatever I want.' And I did. And now it's the biggest regret of my entire life."

Although Shane's apology seemed honest — and it appeared like he used to be in any case taking duty for his past movements — we'll simply have to wait and spot if it's sufficient for his lovers and haters alike.
