After gaining fame from the now-defunct app, Vine, 20-year old Jack Gilinsky is in hot water now after an audio file of him reportedly verbally abusing his then girlfriend, Madison Beer, leaked to the public.

Gilinsky was a part of a Vine account called Jack & Jack with his long-time pal Jack Johnson. The duo was popular enough to be nominated for a Teen Choice Award. It was through fellow Vine star Nash Grier that Gilinksy met his ex, Beer when she was only 15.

Beer’s career began to flourish after Justin Bieber posted a link of her singing a cover of a song. Bieber then helped her get signed to Island Records. She started gaining a following after that which led her to meet Grier. Gilinsky and Beer dated for over two years and attended Coachella together in April.

After the audio file leaked, Gilinsky posted a long message to his Instagram followers regarding what was said in the file. According to the statements in Gilinsky’s post, the voice clip is from last year, even though the former couple broke up just recently.

Beer originally posted a tweet responding to the leaked audio file however, they have since been deleted. She has kept a “thank you” and few words of wisdom on her account instead.
