Disney has severed ties with Pewdiepie, the world's highest-paid YouTube star, after he posted several anti-Semitic videos. Felix Kjellberg (PewDiePie) has posted nine videos featuring anti-Semetic comments or Nazi imagery, the Wall Street Journal reports. Multiple other videos feature swastikas, while another includes photos of Hitler, with Kjellberg wearing a "Make America Great Again" cap. Walt Disney Co. bought Maker Studios, the multichannel network that partners with Kjellberg, for $675 million. In a since taken-down January 17 video, Kjellberg also addressed the "death to all Jews" video, saying it was a joke.
