Logan Paul may be ‘coming out of the closet’ as a flat earth truther, but his fellow conspiracy believers don’t really want him in their gang.

The Flat Earth Society has spoken out on Logan’s support for the theory, insisting to followers they are in no way affiliated with the YouTuber.

Yep – Logan is too much of a liability for a society of flat earth truthers.

Following the 23-year-old’s appearance at the the Flat Earth International Conference (an actual thing), the official account for the Flat Earth Society tweeted: ‘As most of our regulars will be aware by now, YouTube celebrity Logan Paul has recently attended the Flat Earth International Conference in Denver and publicly voiced his support of the Flat Earth Movement.




‘This announcement came as a surprise to most, given a complete lack of Logan’s prior interest in the subject, and the nature of the content he usually produces.

Understandably, this has raised a number of questions from the general public, and we have been approached to comment. — Flat Earth Society (@FlatEarthOrg) November 18, 2018

As of the time of publishing this statement, TFES has not been in contact with Logan Paul, and we have no intention of offering him membership or otherwise affiliating with him. Claims that Logan Paul is a member of TFES or that he may be considered for membership are untrue. — Flat Earth Society (@FlatEarthOrg) November 18, 2018

They continued: ‘As the organisers of FEIC have made abundantly clear on their own website, they are not affiliated with the Flat Earth Society. We have no influence over who they invite to the conference or how they schedule their talks. This distinction is important in light of recent events.

Soz, Logan.

The YouTuber bizarrely appeared as a speaker at the Flat Earth Conference in Denver, Colorado, where he spouted off some stats about the moon landing.

He told the crowd: ‘I consider myself a man of truth, someone who hates being ignorant.

‘I guess I’m not ashamed to say my name is Logan Paul and I think I’m coming out of the Flat Earth closet.’

However, Logan may just be doing this for the attention, as a reporter from The Daily Beast claimed that while rehearsing his speech, the vlogger could barely speak through his laughs.

If the Flat Earth Society do want a celeb spokesperson, though, they have plenty of choice.

Freddie Flintoff outed himself as a sceptic when he said: ‘f you’re in a helicopter and you hover why does the Earth not come to you if it’s round?

‘Why, if we’re hurtling through space, why would water stay still? Why is it not wobbling? Also if you fire a laser about 16 miles, if the world was curved, you shouldn’t be able to see it but you can.’

And rapper B.o.B tweeted back in 2015: ‘No matter how high in elevation you are…the horizon is always eye level…sorry cadets…I didn’t wanna believe it either.

‘Don’t believe what I say, research what I say. I’m going up against the greatest liars in history … you’ve been tremendously deceived.’

Basketball star Kyrie Irving and reality star Tila Tequila also believe that the scientifically verified idea that the earth is round is false.
