But, that wasn't the only video of his broken nose that surfaced from Chase's past. Sporting a black eye and a bandage over his nose, a clip of the then-short-haired e-boy saying the n-word was shared. After the video's release, Chase has gone on to apologize in a TikTok video.
"I just wanted to make an apology video for the video that's been spreading around. What I said was wrong and doesn't need to be defended. What I said was not right in any way and should not be used by my mouth or anyone else's," he said. Additionally, the teen also said that he was apologizing to both the TikTok and "black community."
This is not the only scandal the social media star has recently faced.

This prompted Josh and Bryce Hall to create a diss track called "Still Softish," which called out Chase's cheating.
In April, Charli posted on social media that the two ended their relationship.
“Since you guys have watched mine and Chase’s relationship from the start, I decided I needed to tell you all that we are no longer together," she wrote. "It hurts me to say this, but we’ve decided that this is what’s best for both of us."
The teen "IT" girl continued, "We are still close friends and I would not change that for anything! I truly have so much love for Chase and wish him nothing but the best for him. It makes me happy to see all of the great things he has going for him. I’m sorry I waited so long to tell you all. I wanted to take the time to process it for myself. Breakups are tough for anyone, so I’d really rather not talk about it anymore.”
Well, the Hype House just got awkward...
