Peter Monn Denies GoFundMe Donations Following Car Accident
A week after the news of YouTuber Peter Monn’s car accident, he took to Twitter to address the GoFundMes created for him and his husband.
Monn wrote several people had started GoFundMe that went upwards of $500-$1 million.
The YouTuber noted that while he appreciated the efforts, he did not approve of these and asked for them to be taken down.
“If I ever needed to beg for money,” he wrote. “I would do it myself.”
An hour after the initial tweet, Monn made a separate one, where he further clarified why he wanted the GoFundMes to be taken down.
“The reason why I wanted to address the Go Fund Me’s was b/c the Go Fund Me’s by me or my husband are not by us and we are not directly related to them,” Monn wrote.
“Thus why we are asking that those directly stating they are raising funds for us be taken down.”
