While fans are always excited to see new uploads from their favorite superstar, Logan Paul once became a part of a huge controversy owing to one of his videos. Previously, in 2017, Paul took a trip to Japan. During his trip, he went on to visit the Aokigahara forest, also known as the ‘suicide forest’.
Logan Paul then decided to film his visit to the Aokigahara forest. During that, Logan and his group were seen going around the forest. They then saw the corpse of a suicide victim and filmed it. In the video, Paul could be heard passing insensitive comments. He yelled, “Yo, are you alive? Are you f**king with us? His hands are purple. He did this this morning”.
The YouTuber then went on to upload the video to his YouTube channel. Within 24 hours, the video gathered over 6 million views. However, what came along with it was a severe backlash from the fans. As a result of that, Paul took down the video. Logan’s video resulted in severe consequences, and fans often wonder if the YouTube celebrity has been banned from Japan because of the controversy.
It is to be noted that Logan Paul isn’t banned from visiting Japan. However, after all that happened, it can be assumed that the famous YouTube personality won’t be visiting Japan anytime soon. Also, the ban might not have taken place since Logan previously issued an apology.
The apology of Logan Paul was not well received by the fans
The backlash following the Japanese forest incident was severe. As a result, Logan Paul had to issue an apology. The pro wrestler immediately took down the controversial video and put forward his apology in front of the entire world.
Logan took to his social media handles to upload a video and a written apology. He uploaded the latter on his ‘X’ handle and wrote a long post starting with “I’m sorry.” On the other hand, in the video, Paul said, “I don’t expect to be forgiven. I am here to apologize… The reactions that you saw on tape were raw and unfiltered. I should’ve never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down”.
He continued, “There are a lot of things I should’ve done differently but I didn’t. And for that, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry”. However, while the pro wrestler apologized from the bottom of his heart, his apology was not well received by the fans. They went on to express their thoughts in the comment section of Logan Paul’s apology video. Many fans were of the view that Paul’s apology was scripted.
However, Logan Paul has come a long way since then. He has been doing well in his career and has several plans ahead of him. Anyway, though several years have passed, his fans and others still talk about the controversial video uploaded by Logan.
Going ahead, it is to be seen what lies for the famous personality in the upcoming days. Also, his fans in WWE and others would be excited to see how their favorite Superstar gradually climbs the stairs to success.
