YOUTUBELAND. (THECOUNT) — Brooke Houts, a YouTuber and actress, has come under fire after raw video footage surfaced showing her apparently striking and spitting on her Doberman, Sphinx, a regular on her program.
The controversy began when Houts accidentally uploaded a video of raw footage on August 6, which shows her smacking her dog, pinning him to the ground and shouting “NO!”

The video was quickly taken down and replaced with the more polished cut (which can be seen under fact #2), but many had already seen it by the time she took it down. You can still see the footage in the video under fact #1, reports Heavy.
Houts has since given a statement on the backlash and accidental video upload, in which she said in part:
“I want to clarify that I am NOT a dog abuser or animal abuser in any way, shape, or form.”
