Logan Paul Posts Apology Video After 'Suicide Forest' Controversy: 'I Don't Expect to be Forgiven'

In the apology video -- which followed up on a written mea culpa posted on New Year's Day in which Paul said he didn't post the clip "for views," but because he thought he could "make a positive ripple on the internet" by raising awareness for suicide prevention -- Paul explains that the stunt was not planned and that the reactions seen on tape from himself and his friends were "raw and unfiltered." He admits that he should not have posted the video and instead should have put the cameras down and stopped recording, saying he is ashamed, disappointed in himself and does not expect to be forgiven.

“There’s a lot of things I should have done differently, but I didn’t,” he says. “And for that, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry.” Paul then apologizes to the internet, anyone who saw the video, those affected by mental illness, suicide or depression and, most importantly, to the victim and his family. He also implored fans who've defended his actions to stop doing so. "The goal of my content is always to entertain, push the boundaries, to be all-inclusive," but never with the intent to be "heartless, cruel or malicious."
