A YouTuber is being forced to upload apology videos on his channel every week for a month after insulting his ex-girlfriend's father. Spanish video creator Dalas Review is being made to read out his defamation sentence following a judge’s decision after allegedly calling the dad an "abuser" who hits “defenceless women”.
The social media star, who has 10.9 million subscribers on YouTube, is also having to pay the dad around €12,000 (£10,400). The 29-year-old, whose real name is Daniel Santomé, was taken to court after uploading footage to his channel after his breakup with his ex, Maria Rubio, to talk about her dad.
According to Gizmodo, Santomé made at least nine videos speaking about his ex's father, hurling an array of insults against him. In the videos, it is reported that Santomé alleged that his ex's father was someone who "likes to hit defenceless women on the street” and is "messed up in the head."
