Logan Paul agrees the backlash was fair (Picture: GC Images, YouTube)

Logan Paul has seen the error of his ways it seems, and has admitted the fierce backlash he’s received is ‘fair’.

The 22-year-old has admitted that the severe response he received to the posting of a ‘suicide video’, in which he filmed the hanging body of a man who took his life in a Japanese forest, has been justified.

Speaking to TMZ, he said he had been ‘treated fairly’ in the reaction to the 15 minute vlog and with YouTube pulling him from their ads and scrapping him from one of their original series.

But he reportedly hinted that he has a backup plan to replace the revenue he’s lost from YouTube’s decision, and said: ‘Everyone deserves second chances, bro.’




He also hinted to the site that there is another statement coming in due course, perhaps referring to his new plan.

The latest controversy to hit Logan was in the form of a claim that site PopBlast, who released a video attempting to brand fellow YouTuber Shane Dawson a paedophile, had been paid by Paul’s manager to release the edited footage.

Last week old audio of a Shane Dawson podcast surfaced in which he seemed to admit to googling naked babies and finding a six-year-old sexy. He later claimed they had been poor taste jokes and was disgusted such a word had been used to describe him, also slamming PopBlast for taking his words out of context and creating an edited compilation that twisted the truth.

PopBlast then renamed the video, before deleting it, and later posted another video titled ‘receipts’. In it, a screen shot was shown of a Paypal receipt from a Jeffrey Levin for $6,500 (£4,700) who is Logan Paul’s manager, with the site claiming they were paid to release the story about Shane Dawson.

However, Shane Dawson himself has said he doesn’t believe Logan Paul’s people are behind it, and YouTube has now removed the PopBlast channel.

Shane wrote: ‘I genuinely think someone was trying to make a conspiracy theory about me in real time. uploading clues, hints, etc. i don’t believe logan’s people had anything to do with it. it seems almost scripted. it’s all very fascinating. gotta love the internet!’
