Criticism and Controversies[]
Sexual Harassment Allegations[]
On 16th July, several British women made allegations to Newsbeat that Pepper had sexually harassed them. Sam Pepper's legal team told Newsbeat he "denies any and all accusations that have been made against him". Popular vloggers Marina Joyce and DottieJames claim to be victims of sexual assault from him. Marina allegedly was sexually abused by Sam in a disabled toilet at UK Warped Tour 2013 while Dottie was allegedly abused in a cinema in 2012.
"Ass Pinch Prank"[]
Sam has been in the spotlight over the last fortnight after posting a video on his YouTube channel called his "Fake Hand Ass Pinch Prank". The video received a number of complaints saying that it was a form of sexual harassment and it was later taken down.
Kidnapping Prank[]
In late 2015 Sam received backlash after uploading a prank which consisted of kidnapping a teenager and pretending to kill his best friend in front of him. Despite this, YouTube refused to take down the video.
SaveTheKids Crypto Scam[]
In June of 2021, multiple YouTubers, Kay, RiceGum, FaZe Jarvis, along with others, got into a severe controversy after they were called out for promoting a scam (so-called "pump and dump" scam) crypto coin called "Save The Kids", in which Kay in particular was seen selling off many coins before the value plummeted so he didn't lose any money. It ended in Kay being kicked out of FaZe. It was discovered that Sam Pepper was not only involved in the scam, but was the one who told a developer to insert a whale code to make the value of the coin plummet sooner. After this was discovered, images arose of Sam booking flights from Los Angeles back to England, in an apparent attempt at fleeing legal issues. Sam denied being part of the scam knowingly and blamed Kay in full for the scam (and Kay has blamed Sam fully for the situation as well, even though most people, including Coffeezilla, agree that both Kay and Sam are equally as guilty in the scam). Eventually, Sam was given a cease-and-desist order from Kay for helping SomeOrdinaryGamers and Coffeezilla with their investigations.
First Restart[]
On February 21, 2016, Sam marked all his published videos as private. On the same day, he deleted all of his tweets on Twitter and now only has one tweet that says "i give up." As it appeared, Pepper vanished from the internet until he uploaded an apology video on February 24, 2016, called ''I'm sorry''. After the video was uploaded, Sam started uploading vlogs.
Second Restart[]
All vlogs he released after the first restart was removed. He now is an IRL live-streamer who used to frequently collaborate with Ice Poseidon.
