The 33-year-old comedian, who has more than 20 million subscribers, made the announcement in an emotional 11-minute clip.

She explained:"It was not my intention to do blackface... but all that matters is that people were offended and it hurt them."I haven't done anything remotely like that, because I heard people say 'this is blackface' and 'I don't like that'."

She referred to another video, made in that same year, that included the words:"Hey, Ching Chong Wing Wong/... Sorry, that was racist/ I'm bad at rap songs." Marbles apologised repeatedly for offending anyone with the videos, adding:"I shouldn't have said that. Ever. It's not cool. It's not cute. It's not okay."The comedian, who was brought up in New York but now lives in Los Angeles, addressed a third video made in 2012, but which she did not show, and apologised for slut-shaming.

Soft girl.....

'She explained: 'It was not my intention to do blackface... ' well what was her intention of putting dark makeup on her face in order to impersonate/take the piss out a black woman? pathetic excuse, pathetic woman. 20 Million mainly American YouTube following RIP channel

Never heard of him.

poor little rich YouTuber she should get her hand in her pocket and donate to Anti Racist Charity's of her choice & do some voluntary work with Anti Racist charity's/organizations, she is pretty pathetic could have happened at a worse time. her answer? to run off hiding & crying

Good, she sucked anyway

Pathetic and embarrassing 🙄

This vigilanty witch hunt as going to cost more lives soon and anyone involved should by hunted down and prosecuted to the max. The country has been taken over by hysterical people seeking pleasure in calling out other people. I rest knowing I will never be filth like that.

Make her walk the streets of The STL, justice will be lurking in the shadows.

If we can't allow forgiveness for people that didn't intentionally mean to offend but have also clearly moved on, then none of us will be able to move on. This is all getting out of hand now.

What about News that actually matters? Girl treated after Tipton shotgun and pipe bomb attack

But hey, slutlivesmatter...

No one is quitting Youtube...she makes way too much on Youtube to quit.

Who cares maybe 20 people in the country know you big deal

This could have been phrased better. These videos were 8 years old and she profusely apologized.

Who

should've quit a long time ago. Her videos are bogus.

Id love to no wat a comedy vlogger is first of all.

There's definitely more to the story

Sluts should be shamed.

She’s lost her marbles
