But he doesnt address any of the other accusations, which Ramsey found unsatisfactory.
Meanwhile, many big creators, includingTay Zonday, continued to stand by Dawson.

Star tweeted that he regrets the videos and is sorry if anyone was offended.
(He still wasnt getting her coin, though.)
The video was copyright claimed, getting it temporarily taken down.
Some people are not worth salvaging.
Shayla completely denied the interaction ever happening and she and Marreropublicly squashed it.
Star responded by calling her an irrelevant rat and attempting to out her financial troubles.
But people were starting to put the pieces together.
Its crazy that that sentence has to exist.
Its ALWAYS based on morals and ethics.
Four days later, Jeffree Star apologizes.
He uploaded an apology video entitled RACISM.
I do not know who that person was, he said.
He doesnt take responsibility or offer amends.
Fans knew who that was about.
Zamora all but confirmed it, tweeting Imagine stanning a racist?
and Honey, every time I was around him he would constantly say racist things about black people.
While points were made, Stars fans were not having it.

He is a danger to society.
Everything Tati said is 100% true.

A bold claim for something with no proof.
Charles initially uploaded a tearful response titled tati but deleted it.
While many creators have since refollowed Charles, the squad held out … until recently.
Chamberlain and Charles reconnected, re-followed, and dropped two videostogetheron September 1, 2020.
We actually havent talked to them in a while.
I wouldnt say that Im confident that everybody is comfortable speaking about that.
In a clip of Dawson from his old podcastShane and Friends,heclaimsto have dry-humped his cat.
Star also rants that Charles told a mutual friend that Star and Dawson tried to ruin his life.
Everyone wants to make me out You ruined James Charless career, Star said on the April 2020 podcast.
No, Tati did, and uploaded a 40-minute video about him and she should never have uploaded that.

They each apologize for their role in canceling James Charles before he could defend himself.
On top of warning her before he would release statements, Star would trash Charles.
His eyes are so dead its haunting… like a demon, reads a text from Star.
It contributed to anoverwhelming number of negative videosabout James Charles.
As theories pile, Dawson all but confirms them in a very long, ill-received Notes app apology.
The beauty gurus who are always involved in scandals are ALL THE FUCKING SAME.
Dawson denies any active involvement in Bye Sister, but admits to offering advice he shouldnt have.
In a podcast clip, he calls a 6-year-old sexy and admits to Googling child pornography.
Franchesca Ramsey is also dragged back into it.
Shemakes a threadrecounting her experience with Dawson, including Skype calls where Dawson would cry for forgiveness.
Taking AccountabilityIn a 20-minute-long video he claims addresses everything, Shane Dawson says he is taking accountability.
While he says the apology is genuine, he credits YouTuber Jenna Marbles with inspiring him.
Dawson starts off by tackling the blackface.
Dawson also apologizes to James Charles for his role in Dramageddon.
Im sorry James, Im really sorry, he said.
First of all, nobody deserves what happened.
The whole internet ganging up on somebody, nobody deserves that.
And who am I to say that somebody needs to be humbled?
Me, who am I to say that?
I literally have put so much hate onto the internet over my 15 years in the YouTube world.
It was so toxic and Im so sorry, he said.
Shane Dawson, Welcome to theRed Table
To Shane Dawson … Im done with the excuses.
she writes on June 28.
The beauty company Morphe does the same for Dawsons makeup line, following a petition with over 11,000 signatures.
Anyway, that same day TubeFilter reports that YouTube hasdemonetizedall of Shane Dawsons channels.
On June 30,Tati Westbrook reenters the drama.
Westbrook says Dawson even offered to help film and edit her video.
Neither of them were happy with standing in his shadow on YouTube anymore.
I should have not been blind to the reasons behind the accusations of his racism.
I shouldnt have defended him and I regret any of the pain that I may have caused you.
That is not real.
MorpheTen days after Shane Dawson was dropped from Morphe, Jeffree Star is dumped, too.
We expect this to conclude within the coming weeks.
This is the first major undoing of Star, a direct result of public outcry.
Star himself remains suspiciously quiet.
Surely, hes not slinking away.
Exposed by his tattoos, the BF was promptly revealed to be basketball player Andre Marhold.
Many tweets accused Star of paying Marhold or using his relationship for PR damage control.
Work on your own insecurities sis, Im not the problem.
Cancel culture really came through, huh?
