1. The Beauty Racism Scandal
Top 10 Worst YouTube Scandals
These beauty experts needed a refresher course! An incident involving racism that was covered by Vox and The Washington Post in the summer of 2018 shocked the beauty industry. The beginning of it all was a dispute between Jeffree Star, a makeup artist, and other beauty experts. When followers found objectionable social media postings from Gabby Zamora, Nikita Dragun, Manny MUA, and Laura Lee, who previously urged black people to pull up their trousers when fleeing from police it backfired on Zamora, who claimed Star was racist in a tweet. Lee’s iconic and widely mocked apology video resulted from the affair.
2. False kidnapping of Marina Joyce
Top 10 Worst YouTube Scandals
This teenage beauty YouTuber came under intense investigation in July 2016. Marina Joyce appeared to be acting suspiciously in a video discussing date attire. Her followers noticed right away that she wasn’t as animated as usual, and some even claimed they could see bruises on her body. Many saw them as indications that Joyce was in danger, and others even thought she had been abducted by ISIS. Using the hashtag #savemarinajoyce, panic swiftly spread online, leading to officials to her house. Her bruises were actually the consequence of a fall in the woods before filming the video, and the video was merely an embarrassing commercial. It doesn’t matter if this was a prank Joyce pulled, the truth, or just a lot of assumptions being made.
3. Sam Pepper’s “Killing Best Friend Prank”
Top 10 Worst YouTube Scandals
Sam Pepper, a former housemate on Big Brother, is now most known for his “prank” videos. One of his movies from 2014 showed him groping ladies without their will, but a year later, he took things to a whole new level. Sam Golbach and Colby Brock, two internet celebrities, are abducted by Pepper in the video, who forces Golbach to watch Brock be shot. The frightened response startled Pepper, and Golbach stated that the video’s main message was to “live life to the fullest.” When petitions requesting Pepper’s YouTube account be suspended surfaced, he replied with a GoFundMe website, vowing to erase it if donations reached $1.5 million. By February 2016, Pepper began privatizing his videos and purging his Twitter account before re-emerging as a vlogger.
4. Toby Turner’s Allegations
Top 10 Worst YouTube Scandals
Toby Turner, nicknamed Tobuscus, who is known for his literal music videos and amusing trailers, came under criticism in the spring of 2016 for allegations made by his ex-girlfriend and YouTube star AprilEfff. Soon after, Amelia Talon, another one of Turner’s ex-girlfriends, came forward and said that Turner had forced her to use narcotics and had also physically harmed her. Another ex, Jaclyn Glenn, did step out in Turner’s defense, but she also said that throughout their relationship she frequently felt pressed but never forced to do anything. She posted once more in November, this time complaining that Turner had been contacting her nonstop and that she wished the whole thing to end.
5. Dispute around Channel Awesome Management
Top 10 Worst YouTube Scandals
People can only take so much at once. Former Channel Awesome employees claimed that higher management had mistreated them in March 2018. The Walker Brothers were accused of being inefficient, neglecting to communicate with the producers, and fostering an extremely sexist workplace, according to their accusers. A few months later, a Google Drive document titled “Not So Awesome” was published, with several further concerns. Channel Awesome dismissed the allegations, branding its former workers “disgruntled” and “vindictive,” which only made matters worse. There were originally 40 producers, but once the dust settled, there were just four.
6. The Fine Brothers

Online multimedia creators Benny and Rafi Fine have been working together since 2004. Their React Series, an unscripted film of individuals responding to things like viral videos and trends, is well-known.
They said in 2016 that they would trademark the term “react” and that their business would receive a share of the advertising revenue from videos using the react style. Due to the negative response to this decision, they lost about 675,000 subscribers.
7. Nicole Arbour
Top 10 Worst YouTube Scandals
A contentious video titled “Dear Fat People” was uploaded by Canadian YouTuber Nicole Arbour on her channel in September 2015. The fat shaming endorsement caused the video to become viral and made it temporarily inaccessible.
She lost her choreography job and her role in a forthcoming film after posting the video. Later, she acknowledged that everything was a marketing ploy to help her make tens of thousands of dollars.
8. Sam & Nia’s miscarriage
Top 10 Worst YouTube Scandals
Christian vloggers Sam and Nia shared a video in August 2015 in which Sam surprised his wife Nia with her own positive pregnancy test. The sweet video rapidly gained a lot of attention and new followers after becoming viral. A couple of days later, however, the pair posted another since-deleted video in which they disclosed that Nia had miscarried. The pair was quickly called out by viewers who thought they had allegedly faked the pregnancy from the start.
Soon later, the couple posted a second video in response to the “Haterade” of claims that they staged the pregnancy. Sam stated that “it was staged,” adding that “God above and nothing less” had organized everything.

Top 10 Worst YouTube Scandals
Tana and Jake allegedly dated for “clout” from April to June of 2019 before getting married in front of a large gathering of other vloggers at the Graffiti Mansion in Las Vegas in July of the same year. An anonymous joker doused the bride and groom with champagne just before their first kiss, which led to a huge fight between Jake, the initiator, and the ceremony’s officiant. Their relationship didn’t continue; in fact, the pair announced their separation in January 2020. She admitted that they weren’t officially married in December 2020.
10. The Ace Family
Top 10 Worst YouTube Scandals
The Ace Family YouTube channel first presents a lavish and content family life that the average person might only imagine. However, if you look up “Austin McBroom” plus the phrase “scandal” in a web search, the patriarch, you won’t know where to begin with this channel. For starters, Austin has been sued for unpaid bills, including the repossession of their $13 million property, and has been accused of cheating on his wife and beating other women. He has also received harsh criticism for his unruly behavior around his own children, particularly when he took his daughter to an adult toy store and uploaded a Snapchat video about it. The family has been charged with misleading their audience with several membership schemes.
