YouTube artist Jeff Wittek has opened up about his dispute with David Dobrik. In a recent episode of his 'Jeff FM' podcast, Wittek termed Dobrik "a scumbag" following his near-fatal accident. 

Wittek also chastised Dobrik for being "fake friends" with the other creator, who he said failed to text him following his recent eye surgery. "I've been protecting this guy for so long," Wittek said on his podcast, "and there's so much to this story than just him not texting me for a week after I had such a drastic surgery where I could've been blind."

Wittek went on to explain, "I just want to f**king tell the truth finally. I gave this motherf**ker so many chances. Even now, a week later, I still haven't heard a peep. The fact that he is a scumbag friend, a fake friend, now that the documentary is over doesn't give a f**k, doesn't text me, doesn't check in. The other reason: him saying now, flipping the script, saying, 'Oh, it was f**kin Jeff's idea. He's crazy.' Complete bulls**t."

Wittek described the eye surgery he underwent as "a gnarly surgery". "They had to move my eyeball forward. There was about a 30 percent chance that I would have woken up blind from the surgery in that eye but fortunately, everything went great."



 

Wittek also shared that Dobrik had agreed to pay one of the former's hospital costs but didn't follow through. "Our agreement was just cover the hospital bills. I don't care about anything else. I'm not coming after him for money I lost from not being able to work or anything like that," Wittek said, adding that, "They didn't pay a f**king bill, I got an infraction on my credit now. I go to get a house and I can't get a loan."



 

"For those who think I'm trolling or I'm f**king crazy on Instagram, honestly I could give a f**k," he asserted, "because it's the best I've felt in a while getting all this s**t off my chest. It feels good to cut bad people out of your life."

Wittek initially discussed his injury in a YouTube video titled "How I Broke My Face." He claimed that he and a group of vloggers were attempting to make a hilarious video. The group decided to put an excavator vehicle in a lake and swing people around on a rope at one point.

When it was Wittek's turn to participate, Dobrik was the one driving the excavator. Back in April, Wittek remembered, "I just jumped out of a plane 20 times. What's the worst that could happen if I swing from a rope over a one-foot-deep lake? And yah, I didn't know I was going to go that fast so I grabbed the f**king rope and I tried to make a goddamn funny video for people but this is where I made a mistake. I forgot the biggest f**king idiot I know was driving it."
