TikTok exposes David Dobrik for partying during Covid
This is not the first time the Vlog Squad has come under fire for not maintaining safety during the pandemic. In August 2021, TikToker Morgan Gottowski alleged that she got covid after attending a party with Dobrik and the Vlog Squad.
She uploaded a TikTok video of herself partying with Dobrik, Zane Hijazi, Toddy Smith and Scotty Sire. The next day, she posted a follow-up video on her @itscaptainmorgan account, where she said: “Update: I now have covid.”
She also tagged Dobrik, Smith and Sire in a TikTok video and said:
“can u at least send me food. I’m hungary and can’t leave.”
The Vlog Squad has not responded to the flack they are receiving for attending the maskless party.
