PewDiePIe's internet trolling has caught up to him.
Mashable has confirmed that Disney,Big Brother Sex Scenes and its digital entertainment firm Maker Studios, has cut ties with the Swedish YouTube star after learning a handful of his videos contain anti-Semitic jokes and Nazi imagery.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the news on Monday after publishing an extensive review of PewDiePie's videos.

After being contacted by The Journal, PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, removed three videos (which collectively had amassed 23 million views) including a Jan. 11 video which included an image of two men laughing as they held a banner that read “Death to all Jews.”
Maker Studios, which Disney purchased in 2014 for a whopping $675 million, boasts a network of about 55,000 independent creators -- including PewDiePie -- who collectively draw in 10 billion views per month.
"Although Felix has created a following by being provocative and irreverent, he clearly went too far in this case and the resulting videos are inappropriate," a Maker Studios spokeswoman said in a statement to Mashable. "Maker Studios has made the decision to end our affiliation with him going forward."

PewDiePie has come under fire many times in the last few years -- but has suffered little consequences for his actions.
With over 53 million subscribers to his main channel, the YouTuber has remained both popular and financially successful.
The Swedish gamer topped Forbes' highest paid YouTube stars list for a second year in a row. He made an estimated $15 million for the 12 months ending in June 2016, according to Forbes' recent ranking.
His book This Book Loves Youmade the New York Timesbestseller list and his YouTube Red series Scare PewDiePiewas renewed for a second season. His second video game, PewDiePie’s Tuber Simulator,was downloaded more than 1 million times within 24 hours of its release.

Maker Studios also teamed up with PewDiePie to create a new network called Revelmode, which focuses on content, community and charity. He also launched a sock line.
All this despite the fact that he has tweeted that he and YouTuber Jacksepticeye have "joined ISIS"; bashed reporters for singling him out in articles about the Federal Trade Commission and Warner Bros. "pay for play" settlement; hated on a rival channel which stars a 5-year-old; and trolled fans by saying he would delete his channel after 50 million subscribers and instead deleted a secondary channel he barely uses.
The YouTuber did not respond to Mashable's request for comment. His most recent tweet said "#resistpewdiepie."

On Sunday, he posted on his Tumblr that he wanted to “clear some things up" about some of his videos featuring the anti-semitic remarks.
"I am in no way supporting any kind of hateful attitudes. I make videos for my audience."
"This originated from a video I made a couple of weeks ago," he wrote in the post. "I was trying to show how crazy the modern world is, specifically some of the services available online. I picked something that seemed absurd to me—That people on Fiverr would say anything for 5 dollars. I think it’s important to say something and I want to make one thing clear: I am in no way supporting any kind of hateful attitudes. I make videos for my audience. I think of the content that I create as entertainment, and not a place for any serious political commentary. I know my audience understand that and that is why they come to my channel. Though this was not my intention, I understand that these jokes were ultimately offensive. As laughable as it is to believe that I might actually endorse these people, to anyone unsure on my standpoint regarding hate-based groups: No, I don’t support these people in any way."
