Dustin Tavella Releases "Everybody Knows" Video Featuring Danny Trejo and Marielle Jaffe with Appearances from Selena Gomez, Francia Raisa, Samantha Droke and Baby Bash
Los Angeles; New York (PRWEB) July 15, 2013 -- Just before the 4th of July holiday, artist dUSTIN tAVELLA quietly released the official music video for "Everybody Knows," more commonly known as "that Douchebag song Selena danced to." Even with the holiday, YouTube views have surpassed 300,000 as Latina Magazine, Jezebel and The Atlantic Wire have sung praises for its positive message and comedic break.
The official video features "Machete" star Danny Trejo as a cook who steps out to serenade the beautiful Marielle Jaffe (Scream 4, Secret Life of an American Teenager) and convince her of what everybody already knows; her boyfriend could treat her better. With Trejo in the lead, Dustin Tavella steps away from the music to embody the infamous boyfriend role. Tavella also wrote, directed and edited the video.
"Everybody Knows" also showcases the “dance” that created a buzz when Selena Gomez posted it on her YouTube, amassing over 3 million plays, about the same time she was splitting from Justin Bieber. Thus sparking Perez Hilton and and rest of celebrity media to speculate about the possible coded message, however this song was written for another purpose all together. Baby Bash, Fingazz, Francia Raisa, Samantha Droke, Charity Baroni, and Selena Gomez herself round out the stellar (and witty) cast.
"I made this video because this is an actual issue that is close to my heart," said Dustin. "I think it is way too common for girls to be stuck in relationships where they are just not being treated correctly. Don’t get me wrong, this also happens to guys too. I have had my share of bad news relationships. Although everyone around me, including my family and friends, were telling me she sucked, I just couldn't get out of the relationship. We all need to be reminded sometimes and this video is a good ice breaker."
