"I took a little time to speak on video because, for my part, I had to feel psychologically capable of doing it, that I took a step back to be able to express myself correctly and above all, I had to I take stock of the legal measures with my lawyer, ”explains VodK, whose real name is Valentin Palun, a YouTuber with more than 3.3 million subscribers.
Indeed, through the hashtag #BalanceTonYoutubeur launched by Squeezie, VodK has been accused by several Internet users of having used its notoriety to manipulate women, some of whom are minors.
"I approached the girls in an ultra-heavy way"
In a video titled 'Important' and posted this Sunday, he continues: "I have to admit for myself, and in front of you, that there is a period of my life where I was like who would say a big 'charo' [ scavenger]. I approached the girls super heavy. When I see the conversations I was able to have with some girls at the time, I myself find it hard to realize that I was the type of people that I hate today, ”admits- he. “I was trashy, raw, too cash in a lot of my approaches. I spoke to girls without necessarily having matched an application ”.
However, he denied having put forward his notoriety or his financial resources to meet a girl. “I've never done that in my life. I have always made it a point of honor that the girls I have known consider me as Valentine and not as VodK. Yes, there is VodK in my professional life. When I go to a restaurant, to the supermarket or when I flirt with a girl, I'm Valentine ”, he promised.
"I am devastated"
“When they say that I use my notoriety to get what I want, really, I'm devastated,” he reacted. He explained that he had decided to "seize the public prosecutor of Paris by filing a criminal complaint for slanderous denunciation and cyberstalking", and to withdraw as long as necessary.
At the beginning of July, several Internet users wanted to highlight on social networks the behavior of certain YouTubers, including VodK.
