In an interview with Comedy Central from April, 2020, which was recently. The latest tweets from @davidobrik.
Breaking on Twitter: Gabbie Hanna apparently has an NDA. She’s apparently about to break said NDA, and Twitter netizens have been holding their breath about it for the last few days.
Former Vlog Squad member Gabbie Hanna was often the butt of jokes about her appearance & weight. While she denied bad blood between her and the rest of Vlog Squad in the past, a recent, cryptic message on Twitter from Hanna herself revealed she may be coming out about the jokes she was targeted for on Vlog Squad.
However, since the initial tweet, there’s been nothing but crickets on Twitter. What’s going on Gabbie? Let’s dive in.
What NDA?
For anyone who’s not a legal beagle, an NDA is a non-disclosure agreement, where you agree not to divulge certain things, and they’re very common in workplaces to protect companies’ trade secrets. However, an NDA can also apply to people who are settling a lawsuit. In exchange for a payout, the signee agrees to zip their lips about certain allegations.
Thus, Gabbie Hanna can’t say anything on Twitter, TikTok, or anywhere about what’s included in her NDA, if there’s an NDA at all.
While it’s unclear exactly what is in the NDA Gabbie Hanna signed, it may have to do with old clips of her while she was part of Vlog Squad. It’s also unclear whether there even was an NDA since she tweeted back at Zee West: “this b*tch doesn’t sign NDAs r u kidding me”.
Bully Squad
Vlog Squad, a merry band of vloggers organized by David Dobrik, has fallen from grace amid allegations of bullying, including racism and fat-shaming, against some of the participants. One of those participants was Gabbie Hanna.
In one video, Dobrik was seen pranking Gabbie Hanna by giving her diet pills, saying she “would dance better” if she took them. He also reportedly called her ugly and saying he “knew it would hurt”, referring to his “jokes” about Hanna’s weight.
However, when Gabbie Hanna split from Vlog Squad in 2017, she said there was “no drama” between them. In 2019, she even said on Entertainment Tonight that her split with Dobrik & company was amicable, explaining:
“I think it’s important for everyone to understand that in life people just grow apart and that doesn’t mean that something awful is going on. It’s just like I need to be focusing my energy in the studio on writing, working on my fitness, working on my mental health. And it doesn’t leave a lot of time for like . . . like the antics and stuff. I’m also a very anxious person and I need a lot of alone time.”
Gabbie left the Vlog squad in 2017. However, she had revealed that there was no beef between her and David. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Gabbie stated that she wanted to focus on herself.
Another Vlog Squad member who spoke out was Seth Francois, who was reportedly made the butt of jokes due to his race. In one “prank” from David Dobrik, Dobrik joked he would get an arrest warrant for Francois. In 2020, in the wake of George Floyd’s strangulation at the hands of police, Francois posted a video apologizing for the harm he caused with Vlog Squad and receipt after receipt of insensitive & offensive jokes.
“I apologize for the content I was involved in, in the past. I promise to never endorse or support anything on the internet that has to do with my culture being portrayed in a negative light. I believe all of these people in these videos are genuinely good people. I hope the viewers and the content creators involved can learn something from this video”, his caption read.

In this first video, “Let’s Talk”, he declared consent was important to him. In the latest apology video, he elaborated: “felt crazy to me to accept that there was some kind of toxicity or power dynamic in my friend group, but I hope other creators will take a moment to look at where the jokes end and where the feelings begin.”

Do you think Gabbie Hanna had to sign an NDA about her time on Vlog Squad? Let us know in the comments!
Twitter is one of the, if not the most popular social media platforms in the present times but also the most toxic one. Anonymity offered on social platforms such as twitter allow the trolls to spread negativity online without the fear of any repercussions.
Twitter is different from other social medias in the sense that it is meant to be a platform made to share your thoughts and ideas in 280 characters or less. This format of twitter makes it a platform for people to share their opinion and discuss it with the community.
The platform essentially turns into a place to have debates but without a moderator. Without any moderation the discussion slowly becomes an argument and ends with trolling, insults and some cases even ‘Doxing’ or ‘Swatting‘.

Cancel Culture
The rise of “cancel culture” and the idea of canceling someone comes mainly from social media. The plot generally goes like : ‘A celebrity or influential person does something which is considered wrong socially’- ‘This results in a public outrage on social media demanding justice (If anyone is affected) and an explanation/ apology for the act’ – and lastly ‘Everyone moves on from the situation.’
Cancel culture started as a trend to effectively hold influential people accountable for their mistakes and wrong doing.
However, in the recent times cancel culture has become the most toxic trends existing on social media (even more than the tide pod challenge) due to the fact that it has evolved from holding people accountable for their mistakes to death threats, rape threats, Doxing and cyber bullying.
The public on twitter trying to cancel a celebrity no longer wants too see a reform in the celebrity, what they want to see is the celebrity being cancelled, be trolled and be dehumanized for committing that wrong.
KSI on twitter
KSI is one of the most influential youtubers from UK, he recently released a statement on twitter talking about toxicity and why he will be quitting twitter.
KSI even shared his thoughts on PewDiePie quitting twitter and called him “Man ahead of the curve”
Logan Paul on twitter
Today logan Paul was trending on twitter and this time not for a controversy. While Logan Paul did not directly refer to cancel culture, it was pretty evident by his words he did not support cancel culture.
The tweet was well received by the community, maybe due to the fact that Logan Paul is an apt example of one of the few persons who made it out of cancel culture and have shown genuine change but still blind receive hate for their past.
