Selome Hailu “Beef” star David Choe has come under fire for resurfaced footage from 2014 where he details his own “rapey behavior” toward a massage therapist — but you won’t find the video online so easily now.
On Thursday, writers Aura Bogado and Meecham Whitson Meriweather both posted clips from “Erection Quest,” an episode of Choe’s podcast “DVDASA” — but both clips were removed on Sunday.
Both say they received emails from Twitter alerting them of Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notices that were filed by Choe himself.
Variety has reviewed the email sent from Twitter to Meriweather, in which someone alleging to be Choe, writing on behalf of the David Young Choe Foundation, describes Bogado’s and Meriweather’s posts as “copyright infringing media” and asks that they be removed “immediately.” It’s not the first time Choe’s claims in the video have been brought to light, and he responded to criticism at the time in 2014, saying that his story had been “misinterpreted” and “not a representation of my reality.” (His full statement is below.) And in a New York Times profile in 2014, Choe said, “I never raped anyone.” According to the Times, he said the masseuse story was fictional, and a work of performance art.
