"He came up to me at whatever event we were at, shook my hand, patted me on the back, 'Dude, love what you're doing,'" Logan Paul told THR. "Then this s--- happens, and Aaron Paul is telling me to go to hell? I'm like, 'You told me you were my boy when we met! It was all good! We have the same publicist!'"
Paul also admitted that he "really f---ed up, to a degree that this may be the only thing people remember me by."
"I should have felt empathy. I should have been like, 'Hey, this is wrong. Let's not do what we're doing,'" he said of his reaction to the dead body he and his friends found in the Aokigahara forest, which he filmed and subsequently posted on YouTube.
Paul removed the video from his YouTube channel and took a three-week hiatus from vlogging. He then uploaded a video titled "Logan Paul Is Back" and bragged about gaining 1 million subscribers during his social media blackout.
