Amoakuh, Abby. “Jubilee Star Dean Withers Issues Apology after Racist and Homophobic Posts Resurface.” SCREENSHOT Media, SCREENSHOT Media, 14 Oct. 2024, screenshot-media.com/culture/internet-culture/jubilee-dean-withers-resurfaced-racist-posts/.
The website that this article comes from is admittedly not very well known and therefore I cannot vouch for its trustfulness. However, everything is extremely well sources and links are provided as well as screenshots and videos. The reason I chose this source is specifically because of that sourcing credibility.
The Wikipedia article has none of his previous scandals that he went viral for and other things that boosted him to fame and this article provides me with the information I need to add a solid portion of backstory to him and interesting facts.
Besides that this source is overall ideal for me because it has the exact social media tiktok-drama energy I was going for that divulges good facts quickly and smoothly to create for a good and easy read. Overall its an amazing length and super in depth and exposes some of his previous controversies and other various facts about him.
“Dean Withers, Charlie Kirk’s Rival and Liberal Commentator’s Response on His Assassination Goes Viral.” The Economic Times, economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/dean-withers-charlie-kirks-rival-and-liberal-commentators-response-on-his-assassination-goes-viral/articleshow/123823929.cms. Accessed 27 Sept. 2025.
This article comes from The Economic Times and they are a reputable source that is the second most widely read English business newspaper. The things this article provides and adds to the Wikipedia article I will be editing is specific numbers and information. It has very specific numbers of followers on different platforms and information about how certain videos of his performed.
The Wikipedia on Dean Withers is short and unspecific about things like his follower number and doesn’t emphasize just how well know he is but this article allows us to get a glimpse of his fame. The article also provides a link in reference to one of the specific videos it is mentioning which is a perfect source.
This article is pretty great but if I had my way I would like one with more personal details about Dean like his specific political stances and how he rose to fame. The article is a bit short and focuses on Dean in the specific context of his reaction to Charlie Kirks shooting.
