Is Logan Paul really playing the victim here??
As you surely know, the YouTube sensation was hit with an immense amount of criticism when he uploaded footage of an apparent suicide victim to his channel. Although the 22-year-old briefly stepped away from the video sharing site, he’s since returned and started his apology tour.

In addition to a vlog detailing his regret for filming a dead body, Logan also launched a short film about suicide prevention. However, a recent visit with Good Morning America‘s Michael Strahan has us doubting if he’s actually learned anything from this experience.
On how he’s handled the backlash, the blond internet star shared:
“It’s been tough because ironically I’m being told to commit suicide myself. Millions of people literally telling me they hate me, to go die in a fire. The most horrible, horrific things.”
When asked if he finds the criticism against him to be fair, he laughed and said:
“…that’s the thing, I do.”
Hmmmm. As Strahan called out Logan for uploading a video that could be traumatizing for his young fans, Paul unapologetically defended that his content isn’t “necessarily for kids” and that he is his “own demographic.” Logan continued:
“I think parents should be monitoring what their children are watching more… But at the same time. It’s not like I’m a bad guy. I’m a good guy who made a bad decision.”
While Paul is saying all the right things, he comes off as if he’s scrambling to save face.
