Walt Disney is ending its affiliation with the world's highest-paid YouTube star PewDiePie after the 27-year-old uploaded a series of videos featuring antisemitic comments and jokes.
PewDiePie — whose real name is Felix Kjellberg — posted one video featuring two men laughing while holding a sign that read, "Death to all Jews," while another featured a man dressed as Jesus saying, "Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong."
Kjellberg has over 53 million YouTube subscribers, and reportedly makes over $14 million a year.
Kjellberg struck a deal with Disney’s Maker Studios in 2014, which gave him co-ownership of a multi-channel network called Revelmode that produces videos, mobile apps and merchandise.
