Popular YouTuber Ben of Drunken Peasants Accused of Date Rape

In 2021, accusations surfaced on Reddit, notably from Taylor Kirk, the wife of former co-host Scotty Kirk. She alleged that Ben coerced her into drinking and smoking weed during a visit to Santa Fe, after which she blacked out and claimed an incident of rape occurred. These allegations were discussed in a Reddit thread, but there is no indication in the references that these claims led to formal criminal charges or a conviction.

The accusations were significant enough to cause a stir in the Drunken Peasants community, with some users noting Ben’s alleged history of inappropriate behavior with women, including being a “serial cheater” and emotionally manipulative. However, these remain allegations without confirmed legal consequences in the provided sources.

Additionally, the references include discussions of Ben’s involvement in various controversies, such as disputes with co-hosts like TJ Kirk and Paul Parkey Jr., and accusations of censorship or mismanagement of the Drunken Peasants platform. None of these, however, point to criminal activity or a criminal record. There’s also a fictional narrative in one source describing a scenario where Brett Keane, a frequent target of the podcast, is arrested, but this is clearly satirical and unrelated to Ben’s real-world legal status.
