Jake T. Austin just got booted off DigiTour‘s summer program and it’s rumored that his hard partying (i.e. drinking) may have been to blame. Nevermind that Austin was arrested for a DUI back in 2013. We’ll get to that in a minute.
DigiTour is known for bringing together social media stars for music and pop culture events across the nation. Austin was part of their current Summer tour along with Baby Ariel, Dylan Dauzat, Weston Koury and Rickey Thompson. He was supposed to hit up 28 cities total, but he only made it about three-fourths of the way through the tour before getting the boot.
He announced his departure on Twitter:
"Unfortunately, the powers that be have decided that I will be leaving the tour early. I really wish I understood why, but I don't.
To all of the fans, I love you always
Don't let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace- Dalai Lama"
DigiTour also posted a note to fans on Twitter announcing that they had already found a replacement.
From their posts alone, things seem amicable, but there’s a lot boiling underneath the surface. Fans commenting on the posts seem to think Jake T. Austin got the boot because he had been meeting fans for free, therefore losing money for DigiTour since a portion of DigiTour’s revenue comes from VIP meet-and-greets. However, that may not totally be the case.
