American Social Media Stars

Zeglaitis has been part of Dobrik’s close circle of friends since the beginning. Dobrik started out on the now-defunct short-video sharing app, Vine, before setting up his channel in December 2014 and starting to upload content in February 2015. His first video, ‘Cool Intro’, was filmed and edited by Zeglaitis, who also made an appearance in the video. Zeglaitis would go on to serve as the cameraperson and editor for several of Dobrik’s subsequent videos.

Zeglaitis set up his channel on February 17, 2013. The oldest video on it was posted on November 19, 2016. Titled ‘Breaking Up With Girlfriend?’, the video has accumulated nearly 41 thousand views to date. Zeglaitis evidently started posting content after he and the rest of the Vlog Squad had established themselves on social media. He has a fewer number of videos on his channel than most of the other members of the Squad.

The most popular video on his channel is the music video for his single ‘Gucci Bands’, with over 2 million views. Some of the other popular videos on his channel are ‘Funny Highschool Stories! ft. David Dobrik,’ ‘We're Dating! ft. Corinna Kopf,’ and ‘Charades Challenge! ft. Liza Koshy, David Dobrik, & Corinna Kopf.’ He is quite popular on Twitter as well and has over 70 thousand followers on the platform. However, his main Instagram page is presently unavailable. He also has a website on which he offers training to aspiring influencers on how to go viral on social media.

Controversies & Scandals

Dom Zeglaitis is unarguably the most controversial figure in the Vlog Squad. His content has always been problematic and he has received much criticism for it, especially for making jokes about underage sex. People, including many of his fans, initially believed that it was just a character he was playing. However, allegations of sexual misconduct started to pile up against him in 2017. Several female YouTube stars in Los Angeles accused him of harassment. One 15-year-old girl even stated that, after she had managed to sneak into an 18+ VidCon party, she was filmed by Zeglaitis while dancing suggestively. Dobrik was also criticised for giving Zeglaitis a platform.

Zeglaitis subsequently released a short apology video which has since been deleted. In it, he starts off by acknowledging the accusations against him as well as his own behaviour. He does not deny the allegations and even admits that they are true “to an extent”. He later speaks about his aggressive nature with women, which supposedly has turned him into a disrespectful person and womaniser in the eyes of the public. At the end of the video, he offers an apology to anyone whom he might have offended and to friends who have been affected negatively because of him.

Personal Life

Zeglaitis was born on June 29, 1995, in Lithuania. He has a younger brother named Rascal. Little is known about his family and early life. At one point, he relocated to the United States.
