Clothing brand desperately attempts to distance itself from Logan Paul's "historical record of inanity"
YouTube star Logan Paul pushed his “no such thing as bad publicity” policy to its breaking point this week, facing widespread condemnation for failing to understand that viewers might not enjoy his efforts to apply his usual brand of Jackass-lite viral nonsense to a real-world site known for traditionally high suicide rates. Paul has apologized extensively for posting a now-deleted video yesterday that purportedly showed him and his “Logang” discovering a dead body in Japan’s Aokigahara forest, treating this discovery with the same “Hey, bro, you alive?!” attitude he seems to apply to every waking moment of his life.
Paul—who’s currently taking time off from posting videos to “reflect”— might owe at least one more apology before this whole incident inevitably blows over, though, according to a clothing brand that issued an extremely angry press release today over its unwanted associations with his brand. Sportswear company Maverick Apparel is claiming that Paul essentially hijacked, and then damaged, its good name with his behavior, and that his “mutton-headed conduct” and “historical record of inanity” have caused the company’s profits to plummet.
