Logan Paul Explains True Intentions of The 'Suicide Forest' Video on 'GMA'

Logan Paul has sat down for his first interview following his suicide forest video controversy with Good Morning America.

The digital creator opened up about the backlash he’s gotten and how the true purpose of the video was to shock people.

“The idea was to shock and show the harsh realities of suicide and get people talking about something I don’t think people are talking about much,” Logan explained. “And still that’s the goal today.”

He added at first it was about the group camping in the forest, but “things obviously changed pretty drastically and quickly.”

“It’s been tough because ironically I’m being told to commit suicide myself,” Logan says about the backlash he’s received on social media.

He continues, “Millions of people literally telling me they hate me, to go die in a fire. The most horrible, horrific things.”
