YouTuber David Dobrik is being sued for $10 million in damages by a former member of his Vlog Squad who was critically injured during a disastrous stunt involving a massive excavator that was filmed for Dobrik’s channel.
In new legal filings, Jeff Wittek, 32, accuses Dobrik, 25, of “general negligence and intentional tort”, saying he almost died after he was flung around on a rope tied to an excavator operated by Dobrik. According to the lawsuit, the influencer suffered a broken skull, facial fractures and nearly lost his eye. Wittek alleges that he’s suffered wage loss, loss of earning capacity and accumulated significant hospital bills as a result of his injuries. TMZ was first to report news of the lawsuit.
The incident occurred in Provo, Utah in June 2020. According to Wittek, the stunt was a part of Dobrik’s so-called “social media comeback.” The ex-Vlog squad-er claims that the original plan was to have members of Dobrik’s crew ride various objects such as wakeboards while being swung around by a rope attached to an excavator they had planted in a lake. Wittek alleges that Dobrik changed the plan and wanted everyone to be swung from a rope tied to the giant piece of construction equipment without riding any objects.
In court documents, Wittek goes on to recount how when it was his turn to be flung around, Dobrik started moving the excavator at “unsafe speeds” and slowed it down too quickly, leading Wittek to slam into the side of the machine and suffer “a myriad of injuries.”
