Logan Paul issues statement after being accused of pushing his pet dog off boat, releases slo-mo video
Logan Paul faced severe backlash after an old video of his dog from his YouTube channel went viral. The footage shows Paul’s dog Broley jumping off a boat during a lake trip.
However, accusations were made later that the dog was intentionally pushed off. Several fans took to X to react to the video, writing:
"Logan Paul is scum. He tried to play it off that the dog jumped but you can clearly see his hands pushing. Which means the dog fell in front and the boat went over him."
"Never liked him anyway but this is absolutely sickening. That poor dog needs a new home asap!!"
"Just a disgusting way to treat your pet or any animal."
"Somebody NEEDS to take that dog from him. Bruh @LoganPaul dude you need help. That was some sick-minded stuff right there, you could’ve killed the dog. SMH."

Paul took to X to issue a statement to address the outrage by highlighting his pinned comment on the YouTube video that he uploaded on July. 23, 2020:
"Clarifying in the comments: we would NEVER, EVER, EVER, push Broley off the boat. he jumped and a hand was behind him, petting him, and when he jumped, we attempted to grab him but FOR A FACT we did not push him. watch his body language and you can very evidently see a self-induced, independent jump from the little mut. thanks for coming to my Ted talk."
Furthermore, he also released a slow-motion video of the incident to assure fans that no one pushed the dog off the boat.
