Brooke Houts is seen here in one of her YouTube videos from her popular YouTube channel.

Brooke is best known as a content creator on YouTube. She has racked up over 300,000 followers on her channel and often posts various videos on all different kinds of topics. Many of her videos feature her doberman dog and one ended up getting her in trouble. On Aug. 7, Brooke caused major backlash for accidentally uploading a video that showed her hitting and appearing to spit on her dog after it wouldn’t participate in a prank video she was trying to film. She quickly deleted it but it had already gone viral and many spoke out against her actions.

Brooke took to Twitter to issue a long apology statement and claimed she didn’t spit on the dog and isn’t an animal abuser. She also claimed she was trying to teach the animal to not be overly aggressive.
