Earlier this week, Los Angeles-based, 20-year-old YouTuber Brooke Houts uploaded an incomplete prank video to her channel titled “plastic wrap prank on my doberman,” in which she is seen becoming violent with her Doberman puppy, Sphinx. In the clip, she screams at the dog, strikes him in the face, aggressively shoves him, grabs him by the fur, forces the pup to the floor and spits on him. When The Daily Dot reported on the story Wednesday, her subscriber count was a little over 340,000. According to a live subscriber counter at time of publishing, that number has dropped to 335,000 and continues to fall.
Houts apologized on Tuesday via the Notes app, the preferredfor a celeb who has to apologize for something, but denied spitting on Sphinx.
She wrote, “I want to clarify that I am NOT a dog abuser or animal abuser in any way, shape or form. Anyone who has witnessed or heard true animal abuse will be able to clearly see that.”“On the day in particular that the video was filmed, and actually this past week, things in my outside life have been less than exceptional. I am not going to play the “victim card” or anything of that sort, but I do want to point out that I am rarely as upset as what was shown in the footage.
That being said, this does NOT justify me yelling at my dog in the way that I did, and I’m fully aware of that. Should I have gotten as angry as I did in the video? No. Should I have raised my voice and yelled at him? No. However, when my 75 lb. Doberman is jumping up in my face with his mouth open, I do, as a dog parent, have to show him that this behavior is unacceptable. But I want to make it known, REGARDLESS of what my dog does, I should not have acted that way towards him.
