What did The Dog Daddy do? Instagram video controversy explained as YouTuber issues apology

As the video went viral, The Dog Daddy shared an apology video where he said,

"Sometimes it’s really difficult to admit when you’re in the wrong and my behaviour yesterday is completely unacceptable."

He further suggested that he wanted to come online and apologize.

"If you did see that video yesterday and I don’t expect you guys to forgive me, but I want to say that I am genuinely sorry if you did see it."

He concluded the video by saying,

"I really don’t know what I was thinking yesterday and that behaviour is completely unacceptable. I’m very very sorry if you guys saw that. I am going to stop posting for a while and take some time off and I just hope you guys understand."
