Actions have consequences.
YouTube has decided to cut ties with Logan Paul following his suicide victim video controversy, and they've opted not to move forward with previously scheduled projects.
"In light of recent events, we have decided to remove Logan Paul’s channels from Google Preferred. Additionally, we will not feature Logan in Season 4 of ‘Foursome’ and his new originals are on hold," a spokesperson for the company told The Hollywood Reporter.
Just one day earlier, YouTube broke their silence to condemn the viral sensation for his inappropriate content.
"Many of you have been frustrated with our lack of communication recently. You’re right to be. You deserve to know what’s going on. Like many others, we were upset by the video that was shared last week. Suicide is not a joke, nor should it ever be a driving force for views," they posted on Twitter.
Paul has tried to apologize, but people aren't having it.
"I’ve made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgment and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologize. So what we came across that day in the woods was obviously unplanned and the reactions you saw on tape were raw, they were unfiltered. None of us knew how to react or how to feel," the star said in a video message.
We don't feel sorry for him!
