Beef star David Choe has drawn controversy for resurfaced comments from a 2014 podcast.
After receiving backlash for the podcast episode in 2014, Choe released a statement on DVDASA's no-longer-active website claiming that the story was actually false.
"I never thought I'd wake up one late afternoon and hear myself called a rapist. It sucks. Especially because I am not one. I am not a rapist. I hate rapists," Choe wrote."I am an artist and a storyteller and I view my show DVDASA as a complete extension of my art. If I am guilty of anything, it's bad storytelling in the style of douche. Just like many of my paintings are often misinterpreted, the same goes with my show.
In 2017, he wrote another lengthy post on Instagram about the clip, claiming he had"ZERO history of sexual assault."The conversation about the artist ramped up over the weekend as users realized that their tweets featuring the podcast clip were being removed from Twitter.
According to the screenshots, the notice was allegedly sent on behalf of the David Young Choe Foundation -- -- a nonprofit led by Choe that was incorporated in 2015 and terminated under that name in 2020. David Choe wrote to Twitter to get the video I posted of him talking about the woman he says he raped taken down on copyright grounds.
