Logan Paul visited Aokigahara, a forest at the base of Mt. Fuji known as the “Japanese Suicide Forest” for the number of suicides that happen there. He and his friends came across a dead man’s body and he included the footage in the video, which he put up on his channel. He included a disclaimer that people should seek help if they’re going through depression. JustJared.com reports that in the video, which was later deleted, Logan can be heard asking the body, “Yo are you alive? Are you f–king with us?” The man’s “purple hands” were also seen.
This controversial move didn’t go down well with celebrities who slammed the YouTube star, after which he tendered an apology, which still wasn’t satisfying. At least to Sophie Turner. She tweeted, “@LoganPaul You’re an idiot. You’re not raising awareness. You’re mocking. I can’t believe how self-praising your “apology” is. You don’t deserve the success (views) you have. I pray to God you never have to experience anything like that man did. (sic)”
Aaron Paul was one of the many other stars who also dissed Logan. He tweeted, “Dear @LoganPaul, How dare you! You disgust me. I can’t believe that so many young people look up to you. So sad. Hopefully this latest video woke them up. You are pure trash. Plain and simple. Suicide is not a joke. Go rot in hell (sic)”
