“I’m just here to apologise…”
Earlier today, YouTube star Logan Paul made headlines after he published a graphic video showing a man who died by suicide in a Japanese forest.
The video was shortly removed from YouTube after being published however, it was still viewed by over one million fans (many of them young teenagers), who saw the horrific footage of a taken life by the base of Mt Fiji.
Many celebrities tweeted their thoughts of anger including Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul who said: “Suicide is not a joke. Go rot in hell.”
The 22-year-old has since released a video titled “So Sorry” apologising to his fans and more importantly the deceased man he filmed and his family.
He also released this statement on Twitter earlier today.
