Controversies[]
2013: AuronPlay and the rocks[]
In 2013, he accused AuronPlay of sending subscribers to go to his house in Monistrol and throw rocks at him. This happened after a constructive criticism that Dalas made to AuronPlay in first place [1]. After this, AuronPlay began posting photos of the Dalas house on his twitter and agreeing to a kind of "attack" on the Dalas house. Dalas called them "AuronPlay's minions" and then made two videos of what happened, filming the roof of his house showing two broken roof tiles. The second video that Dalas posted about Auron was deleted hours later because Dalas said Auron's full name: "Raúl Álvarez Genes", and had to re-upload it censoring the name [2]. Later AuronPlay uploaded a video criticizing Dalas called "Dalas el Cansino", however, Auron deleted that video and all he has about Dalas is one called "Criticism to AuronPlay" in that video strips a couple of hints at him.

Even Wismichu threatened Dalas to beat him up, this was said by Dalas.
Shutdown and return[]
More and more attacks were for Dalas because they considered the controversial him, which caused Dalas to go into a deep depression and think about suicide, Dalas uploaded a video saying that he would withdraw from YouTube forever, not mainly because of the controversies but because YouTube no longer motivated him much anymore, and because he has had enough attacks and believes that no one who was in his place would endure what he endured So he made that final video explaining why he would be leaving.[1] However, in October, he made another video explaining that he would return for a hashtag that became a global trend called #GraciasDalas (#ThanksDalas) and made a video thanking him for the stir and support he had in his retirement[2].

Controversies[]
Dalas, Argos and Miare (2016-2025)[]
The relationship between Daniel Santomé Lemus and María Rubio Sánchez (Miare) ended in March 2016 and a woman named Naya Chimlova uploaded a video where she explained why they had broken up (the video is currently unavailable).[3][4] However, on 19 April 2016, Dalas uploaded a video titled "estoy harto de mentiras y por eso hago este vídeo" ("I'm tired of lies and that's why I make this video") in which he responds to Miare and her accusations against him of being a "stalker".[5][6] In August 2016, Interviú published "No sirves para nada, eres una puta" ("You're useless, you're a whore"), a headline that shows fragments of the complaint that Miare filed against Dalas in July of that same year in a Barcelona court.[7]
After she broke up with Dalas, Miare asked Dalas for his greyhound named Argos which was adopted in 2015 to keep it for some time. Dalas later asked her to return it to which she denied. Because of that, he sued her to get back his dog in June 2016, and after having had the trial in July 2017, Dalas won the lawsuit and Miare was sentenced to return the dog to Dalas.[5][8] Because of this, Miare uploaded a half-hour video explaining why she did not agree with the court ruling,[5] and in addition showed WhatsApp conversations in which Dalas supposedly admitted to having mistreated the dog. The existence of these chats were denied by Dalas in a video uploaded on 12 July 2017 titled "tenía otro vídeo preparado, pero este mal rollo nunca acabará" ("I had another video prepared, but this bad situation will never end") [8] In July 2017, several users such as Anne Reburn, Aida Explorer or Mel Dominguez (focusinvlogs) uploaded videos recounting their alleged cases with Dalas.[9] On the other hand Miare went to explain her version to Fina Brunet on TV3's Els Matins.[10]
On 28 December 2018, Dalas, Lizy P and some two of his friends went to the Sant Joan Despí neighborhood, Barcelona, where they found Miare's parents walking the animal and demanded that they return the dog. It was then that Miare's father charged towards Lizy and hit her. Then, her mother bit a friend of Dalas who was there at the time in the back. This led to Lizy P ending up in the emergency room due to the pain.[11] In August 2019, he uploaded a video announcing that he sued Miare for the crime of false complaint.[12][13]
According to Miare's version, she lost Argos and her family adopted a twin named Marlos and Dalas put a complaint against Miare and her mother for misappropriation of the animal, based on the claim that the dog was actually Argos. On 3 February 2021, the complaint for misappropriation of Argos against Miare and his mother was ultimately archived after an expert assured that the dog was not Argos. Dalas uploaded on 23 April a 56-minute video in which he assure that the expert had been convinced to made the report where they denied that they were the same dog. On the other hand, Miare published a tweet talking about the complaint.[14] On 27 April he uploaded other video in which he shows how the veterinarian retracted the statement he showed a few months ago and actually showed proof that the dog was the same, confirming that the dog was in fact Argos.[15]
The 18 May of 2023, news stated that Dalas had been sentenced to pay a compensation to Miare's father, who made a complaint that Dalas had been insulting him and his family via his Youtube channel.[16] The very same day, it was announced that a judge sentenced Miare and his parents to return the dog and pay a compensation to Dalas and failure to do so would result in prison, as it was determined that they in fact still had Argos and there was no twin dog, and had committed crimes such as document falsification and misappropriation.[17]
In January of 2025, Dalas was sentenced by the Supreme Court to pay compensation a for a lawsuit for insults of 12,000€ to Miare, assume the costs of the appeal and delete all related videos in which Miare's father was slandered.[18][19]
Overall problems with Wismichu[]
Así es Dalas Review (2017-2018)[]
On 4 October 2017, Wismichu uploaded a video titled "Así es Dalas Review" ("This is Dalas Review"), that as of February 2024 has 20.4 million views,[20] and in which apart from bringing out Dalas Review's "miseries", he calls him out on his allegations of gender violence,[21] and insinuates that he fled to Ireland to escape the Spanish law.[22] He also refers to him as "miserable", "psychopath", "hyena", "bad person", "wretch" and "bastard".[23]
After the Wismichu video, Dalas lost around 310,000 subscribers, going from having 5,700,000 to 5,390,000. This made Dalas Review hide his channel's subscriber count temporarily.[24] On 5 October, he padlocked his Twitter account, however on 6 October, it would be available again,[25] and his YouTube channel was subsequently deleted due to mass reports.[26] However, his channel's deletion would not last long, since a few hours later Dalas' channel was reinstated.[27]
In March 2018, he would have an interview with Los Replicantes, in which he talked about a video in which he would show court documents and evidence that would disprove the lies told against him.[28] On 18 May 2018, Dalas published "se acabó, wismichu e ingrid" ("it's over, wismichu and ingrid"), also known as "el vídeo definitivo" ("the definitive video"), an hour and forty minutes long video in which he refuted, one by one, the accusations made by Wismichu and his ex-girlfriend, Ingrid Míchel (also known as "SoyMia").[7][22]
Complaint against Wismichu (2018-2021)[]
In 2018, Daniel sued Ismael for the alleged crime of libel and slander committed in the video "Así es Dalas Review", asking for a penalty of nine months in jail and a 15,000 euros fine.[29] At the end of 2019 Dalas uploaded to his main channel a video titled "Denuncié a Wismichu" ("I Sued Wismichu"), a video in which he talks about the lawsuit filed a year earlier against Prego for the video that "damaged his career".[30]
After several months of that video, on 17 December 2020, the trial was finally held where it would be analyzed whether or not Wismichu actually slandered Dalas.[21] In 2021, the 25th criminal court of Barcelona acquitted Ismael of the accusations of slander and insults perpetuated by Dalas.[31][32]
Video series against Wismichu[]
On 11 February 2021, Dalas uploaded a video accusing Ismael of having a criminal record and having been sentenced to 6 months in prison for injuring a 21-year-old man in the head with a glass bottle.[33][34] In the video, he assures that he had access to Ismael's criminal history because he sued him,[34] and also that it was not made public because Prego had manage to silence the Spanish judicial system.[35] He also claims to have in his possession audio files of Ingrid where she accuses Ismael of being an abuser.[33]
During the 2021 controversy he called Ismael out for searching for teenagers on Chatroulette and asking them to strip naked, with the intention of recording them and publishing them on his website without censorship as paid videos. On the other hand, he made an appeal to speak with any of his alleged victims to present his case, and as a consequence, an alleged victim appeared in a video on 16 February to report that when she was 14 years old, she showed her breasts with a friend of hers in one of Ismael's recordings.[36][33]
Child grooming allegations[]
In April 2018, a 15-year-old Argentinian girl named Olivia shared on her Twitter account several screenshots, videos, and live streams of alleged conversations she had with Dalas in 2016, the year in which she was supposedly about 13 years old, while faking her age and publicly saying she was older. She also claimed that he sent her semi-nude pool photos on Instagram. This topic was addressed by the Mexican youtuber Diego De La Mattaz, most known as Mexivergas, in a livestream with Dalas from March of that same year. In 2021, Fabían Pasos, a YouTuber known as Mafian TV interviews this alleged victim from Dalas in a video titled "La Verdad Oscura de Dalas Review" ("The Dark Truth about Dalas Review"). Olivia, known on social networks as Olivita de Mar, claimed that Dalas contacted his father to intimidate him.[37]
Complaint of child sexual abuse[]
Following Olivia's accusations, Dalas was tried on 30 November 2018 for "child sexual cyberbullying and sexual abuse".[38][7] The Madrid prosecutor's office asked for 5 years in prison,[39][40] 11 of disqualification,[41] and 9 years of estrangement.[42] According to her testimony, she and Dalas began to communicate through Twitter in 2015 and Dalas sent her a photo of his naked torso.
They did not meet in person until 26 January 2016,[43] when she attended a signing of his book Fugitivos en el tiempo held in Madrid, Spain. Both continued talking on WhatsApp and on 8 February 2016,[44] he met her at the Atocha train station. She claimed that during that encounter he kissed her and proposed to go back to his hotel and that they later went to the Retiro park where he allegedly kissed her again and touched her vaginal area and her breasts.
Dalas defended himself by saying that the topless photo had already been published before, however he admitted that they did indeed meet in person in 2016 during his book signing. He affirmed that he was in Atocha only for about 15 minutes to sign a copy of his book that the girl had. He denied that they went to the Retiro park and the sexual encounter that supposedly occurred there.[45] He flatly denied having had any sexual interest in her. He also stated that he had talked a lot with her because she claimed to have both problems at school and abuse from her mother.[46] In December 2018, the Provincial Court of Madrid acquitted Dalas.[47][48]
SeaCret 1 Controversy[]
Controversy surrounding the video game “SeaCret 1,” developed by DalasReview, arose shortly after its release due to multiple accusations and significant criticism.
“SeaCret 1” was singled out for its striking similarity to the video game “Curse of Pirates,” a pirate-themed roguelike action title. Critics indicated that “SeaCret 1” could be a direct plagiarism or an unauthorized adaptation of that game. Additionally, there was considerable debate about the extensive use of artificial intelligence in its development, which was perceived negatively by the gaming and developer community.[49][50]
The game received a high volume of negative reviews for its perceived low technical and artistic quality. Users and specialized media reported numerous flaws, including the absence of a full-screen option (limited to windowed mode), errors in the detection of materials and textures, and incomplete or non-functional game mechanics. The overall user experience was rated as poor.[51][52]
The launch price of “SeaCret 1” on the Steam platform, set at $39.99 USD, was strongly condemned. DalasReview justified the price, in part, by arguing that it included additional benefits such as access to a private Discord server.[53][54]
