Mariduena still describes Dobrik as her "bestie" said she's "probably the closest person to David" and "know him the best out of anybody." She described the allegations as "really sh**ty" and said, "it sucks when you see someone who's actually a good person getting accused of really terrible things."

When asked if she "stood behind him 100%," she replied immediately saying "yeah he's my best friend." Later in the podcast, she described him as "just a normal average dude.""
