Further, Shane also addressed past instances in which he has been accused of sexualizing minors.
“I swear on my life, I am not somebody who would ever talk about a child… like in seriousness, I would never talk about a child in any way that was inappropriate,” he said. “That is disgusting. That is gross. Ir is not something I would ever do. It is something I did for shock value or because I thought it was funny, like ‘Oh my god, my child molester character.’ It’s all gross and I promise that is not real. That is not me.”
“Have I done sketches where kids were saying crazy things, yes. Do I regret it, yes,” Shane explained.
“I saw a vlog clip of me and my cousin, who was I don’t know, probably 12 or 13 at the time, and we were, you know, I was doing the birds and the bees talk,” he said. “Dumb gross sh-t. And I remember a few years ago, I reached out to [their] mom, my aunt, and I was like, ‘I’m so sorry, oh my god. I can’t believe I did this. This is insane. I can’t believe I talked to my cousin like that.’ She was like, ‘Oh my god, we know. It was funny. We all thought it was funny. That’s just how our family is.’ So I kind of took that like, ‘Oh you know, then maybe I don’t need to apologize.’ But I do. Because I posted that on the internet, for everyone. Not just my family.”
Neither father Will Smith or Willow herself have publicly commented on the resurfaced video.
