BRITAINâS Got Talent judge KSI has been slammed for making rape jokes in a video on his YouTube channel.
The 32-year-old former boxer streamed himself playing a simulation game with a female character when he remarked: âMate youâre getting raped. She is so getting raped.â
In the April 2012 video, which has more than five million views, KSI also says: âIf she gets raped Iâm not even going to feel sorry for her.â
He repeatedly refers to the character as a âdumb b***hâ and told his followers: âI want to smack her in the face so hard.â
The video was still on his main channel, which has almost 18million subscribers, until last night but was taken down after The Sun approached him for comment.
Lucy Duckworth, policy advisor at rape support organisation The Survivors Trust, said: âTrivialising rape creates violence and leads to loss of life.
âWe canât justify it. You canât joke about somebody elseâs lived experience of being victimised.
âUnless youâve experienced it yourself, then you shouldnât be commenting on it at all.â
Lucy called on tech companies to âstop giving these people a platformâ, adding: âI want to see the public stop excusing it and refusing to engage with people who hold these views.â
KSIÂ previously reacted to the video in a clip uploaded to his music channel in December 2016.
The laughing star insisted: âNew KSI does not condone what old KSI thinks or says.â
That video had also been removed last night.
KSIÂ had previously faced criticism for appearing to make light of sexual assault in earlier videos where he would pull what he called his ârape faceâ.
At the time his spokesman insisted all offensive material had been removed from his channel.
KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, apologised for his past content in 2020.
He said: âObviously Iâm not proud of it. But whenever you post something on the internet, itâs there forever.
âSo you can hide from it, pretend it doesnât exist. Or, you know, hit it head on, realise why it was a mistake.â
The Sun on Sunday revealed yesterday that KSI had also made a sick remark about hitting pregnant women in a 2017 video.
In the clip, which had been viewed more than 15million times before it was taken down yesterday, he is asked about his sex life.
At one point his mother, Yinka Olatunji, urges him to always use a condom and he replies: âIf she gets pregnant, Iâll just punch the baby.â
Mrs Olatunji then responds: âNo, you canât say that.â
Her son replies: âIâm kidding, Iâm kidding, Iâm not going to do that, Jesus.â
A source close to KSI, who was on ITV1âs live BGT semi-final on Saturday, said he regrets the âstupid and wrongâ comment and condemns all domestic violence.
They said last night that the videos date back many years and added: âLike many people, as they have grown older, KSI looks back on that time with deep regret and recognises his language was both stupid and wrong.
âKSI has grown and matured significantly since then, and those words do not reflect whatsoever who he is today and the values he holds. These days, he is committed to using his platform responsibly, with the key focus on having a wholly positive impact.â
