Shane said that when he was 19, he laid her cat down on her back, simulated having sex and ejaculated on her.

In another offensive clip, Dawson shared a video of himself pretending to masturbate over a picture of Willow Smith.

Shane stood underneath a poster of Willow, which had been put up to promote her single Whip Your Hair Back and Forth.

The song was released back in 2010 - when Smith was just 11-years-old.

He apologised for wearing blackface, a form of makeup worn by non-black people to portray a caricature of a black person often for entertainment purposes.

Dawson also apologised for using racial slurs, insulting people with disabilities, making jokes about paedophilia and joking about murdering a woman.

Shane said that “blackface was something he did a lot” and recognised there is “no excuse for it,” although he admitted that he “didn’t actually look into the history of it and why it is so wrong” and “why it made people so upset”.

Elsewhere in the video, Shane apologised for the jokes he made about young children and said: “I would never talk about a child in any way that was inappropriate. That is disgusting. That is gross. It is not something I would ever do. It’s something I did for shock value or because I thought it was funny.”

Shane was referencing a number of paedophile jokes he made throughout his YouTube career, including comments about newborns.

On his Shane and Friends podcast, the YouTuber made a joke about typing the phrase “naked babies” into Google so that he could “pretend he was a paedophile for a second” and understand their mindset.
