Jack Doherty Faces Six Month Posting Ban After Contract Dispute
YouTuber Jack Doherty said a contract dispute could keep him from posting on social media for six months after he signed an agreement without fully reviewing its terms. The creator revealed the issue on October 10 on X, while the company involved confirmed the agreement and said it would enforce it.
Doherty said he realized the agreement contained a restriction on online activity after initially believing the clause was a joke. He said he is working with a lawyer to address the dispute, while the full contract has not been made public.
Doherty shared a message on X with the caption "I'll be back soon…" as he explained the situation to followers. The post warned that his online activity could be interrupted.
"Hey guys, I think I actually fucked up," wrote Jack Doherty.
Doherty said he signed the agreement without reading every condition and later discovered the reported restriction. He described the clause as preventing him from posting online.
"not allowed to post online anymore," wrote Jack Doherty.
The creator also said he initially thought the restriction was not serious before the company began treating the clause as enforceable. He later explained that he was seeking legal help.
"I signed a contract without reading it fully," wrote Jack Doherty.
Noah Dummett, an executive associated with the company, publicly confirmed the agreement after Doherty discussed the dispute. Dummett said the contract had a six-month term and that Doherty's lawyers were attempting to cancel it.
"For everyone asking: yes it's real," wrote Noah Dummett.
Dummett continued to defend the agreement and said the company planned to maintain its position. His comments came after public discussion over whether the arrangement would be enforced.
"money well spent to get this mf off the internet," wrote Noah Dummett.
The dispute followed earlier exchanges between Doherty and the company on social media. On September 28, an account linked to the company posted a message directed at Doherty.
"at this point we will pay you to shut the fuck up," the company account wrote.
On October 7, Doherty discussed seeking sponsorship opportunities after a digital currency project associated with him performed below expectations. The earlier message was later described as a genuine offer.
"get my money up somehow," wrote Jack Doherty.
The company responded to Doherty's sponsorship search and characterized the previous offer as genuine. The exchange later became part of the wider contract dispute.
"legit," the company account wrote.
Dummett also repeated details about the agreement in a later post, saying the contract was real and lasted six months. He added that lawyers were seeking to cancel the deal.
"For everyone asking:- yes it's real- 6 month term," wrote Noah Dummett.
