Logan Paul is still only 28, but he’s already turned his hand to a lot of things during his career. He’s made his name as a YouTuber, as well as becoming a business mogul, podcaster, and turning his hand to both boxing and wrestling. It’s not been plain sailing in that time for the influencer – despite becoming one of the most-watched people online in that time, he’s also had more than his fair share of scandals to deal with. These are his most controversial moments to date. CryptoZoo The now-infamous CryptoZoo was first launched and endorsed by Logan in 2021. It was designed as a game where people could “breed, collect, and trade” hybrid animals as NFTs. The game got off to a bad start and Logan was the subject of a backlash after users hit out at the poor quality of the NFT, with many claiming that regular stock images of animals had been used. CryptoZoo soon went south and Logan was hit with a class-action lawsuit. Logan previously promised to refund those who had invested in the game to the tune of around $1.8 million but the money has yet to be refunded. He was also recently challenged by his upcoming boxing opponent Dillon Danis, who asked why he had yet to repay the people affected. Racist tweets unearthed in 2017 Old tweets from 2012 containing jokes made at the expense of Black and Asian people were unearthed in 2017. One post was criticised for stereotyping both Asian men and Black men, reading: “Watermelon makes your penis bigger – black men. Soy increases the estrogen in your body, decreasing penis size – asians.” Prime controversy Paul launched the hugely successful Prime energy drink with KSI in 2022, and the company was forced to defend the levels of caffeine in its beverages after facing a backlash in 2023. It came after health experts called on the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate the energy drink company. A 12 oz can of Prime contains 200mg of caffeine, equivalent to about half a dozen Coke cans or nearly two Red Bulls. The brand released a statement to People on July 11, saying: “PRIME Energy, sold in a can, dropped in 2023 and contains a comparable amount of caffeine to other top selling energy drinks, all falling within the legal limit of the countries it’s sold in.” The spokesperson for the brand said that the drink “complied with all FDA guidelines” prior to hitting the market and indicated on the packaging that PRIME energy drinks are “not made for anyone under the age of 18.” “As a brand, our top priority is consumer safety, so we welcome discussions with the FDA or any other organisation regarding suggested industry changes they feel are necessary in order to protect consumers,” they added. Video of him lassoing women from 2014 Back in 2021, an old video of Paul and YouTuber Sam Pepper lassoing unsuspecting women in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and refusing to let them go till they kissed the two men, resurfaced and sparked a backlash. The video, posted in 2014, was shared by @MeTubeDoc account on Twitter which describes itself as the “untold #MeToo stories of YouTube.” It showed the YouTubers using a rope to lasso women and not letting them go till they agreed to kiss them. The account wrote: “We have a deleted 2014 video of Logan Paul lassoing women in the street and not letting some go until they kiss him.” “It was a collab Youtube video with Sam Pepper, who weeks later would be investigated by LA police for a violent sexual assault,” the post said. In the video, Paul says: “We’re doing a thing where we pick up women with lassos.” Suicide Forest The biggest scandal of Paul’s career came in 2017, when he filmed and posted a video of himself entering Aokigahara Forest in Japan – which is often referred to as the “suicide forest”. The video showed him filming a dead body, and it was on YouTube for a day before it was deleted by Paul following heavy criticism. The clip had already received many views, though. People highlighted at the time that many of Logan’s fans are younger viewers, and will have been traumatised by the clip. Paul apologised and claimed he was trying to raise awareness of suicide. Addressing the “monsoon of negativity” in a statement, he said that he had intended to “raise awareness for suicide and suicide prevention.” He added: “I didn't do it for views. I get views. I'm often reminded of how big of a reach I truly have & with great power comes great [responsibility]... for the first time in my life I'm regretful to say I handled that power incorrectly. It won't happen again.” ‘Going gay for a month’ Just over a year later, in 2019, Paul faced another negative reaction after saying he was going to “go gay for a month" as part of his New Year’s resolutions. Speaking on his podcast, he said: “March... it's male-only March. We're going to attempt to go one way, swing, and then go back." Charity Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) was one of the groups to hit out at the comments, saying: "That's not how it works, @LoganPaul." Paul then replied to GLAAD, saying: "very poor choice of words... my fault. let's get together and talk about it on my podcast next week?" GLAAD did not respond, and Logan continued to face criticism from other social media users at the time. Accused of victimising a model Logan Paul- No Handlebars [Official Music Video] www.youtube.com Model Eliza Johnson spoke out about her experience on the set of a Logan Paul video in 2018, saying she felt victimised during the shoot. Johnson spoke to Psychology Today about the video for satirical video ‘No Handlebars’, which saw Paul ride her like a human bicycle. Explaining how she hadn’t been told what the video would involve, Johnson told the publication: “I felt kind of abused. Of course, I felt ashamed, and when something like this happens and we kind of become victimized, we don’t really realize it, we want to just block it out, or say maybe it’s just me, maybe it’s not happening. It’s a very confusing type of thing to experience.” Johnson also referred to herself as the only "plus-size" model on the shoot. "I was the only one who was plus-size. I'm the base of the bike," she said. "I definitely became uncomfortable when he wanted to just get on my back like that because it's rare that you're on set and they just throw something at you. Con artists do things like that." She added: "I reached my breaking point after the sixth take and my legs were giving out. I was so physically exhausted, I wasn't even able to process what was going on… "I did [find the shoot demeaning], as far as the way the other models were dressed as well. I was kind of thankful that they didn't make me as risqué looking. They kind of had me fully clothed, but that says another thing about the whole plus-size model idea, at least in my brain."

As the weather starts to (slowly) warm up, it’s time to rethink your beauty routine. When temperatures change and the sun shines a bit more consistently, the same products you used in winter won’t be quite as effective. Your hair and skin will have different needs – and these are the changes you should make to accommodate this… 1. Wear broad-spectrum SPF You should be doing this all year round, but slapping on the SPF becomes even more crucial as the weather warms up and we see what Dr Carlos Charles, 4.5.6 Skin chief medical officer and co-founder, describes as “increased daily ambient outdoor ultraviolet light”. He recommends adding sun protection into your routine as early as spring – even if it doesn’t feel that warm. “In my patients with a more fair complexion I’ll start to see mild sunburns and an uptick in sun spots known as solar lentigines in the early spring months,” Charles says. “In patients with darker melanin-rich skin tones I’ll begin to see exacerbations of the pigmentary disorder known as melasma, as well as more intense examples of various types of hyperpigmentation.” Charles – who has spent most of his career treating melanin-rich skin – adds: “The best way to mitigate the hyperpigmentation is through the strict daily use of a broad spectrum sunscreen that is at least SPF 30.” Skin Proud Serious Shade SPF 50+ Sunscreen, £16.95 2. Combat increased oil production “In the warmer weather when temperatures and humidity rise, our sebaceous glands tend to overproduce sebum to keep skin hydrated,” explains Charles. “Even those who have normal skin may find their complexion becomes more oily or greasy. This is true across skin tones, but particularly for those with darker skin.” However, oilier skin doesn’t mean you should start triple-cleansing. “One of the most common mistakes I see patients make when their skin gets oily is over-cleansing to remove the excess oil. Unfortunately, this creates the opposite effect, as it can send the sebaceous glands into overdrive, producing more sebum,” says Charles. Instead, he recommends using “gentle and non-stripping” cleansers and adopting ingredients that will combat the increased oil production, such as salicylic acid. 4.5.6 Skin Green Bae Clearing Gel Cleanser, £28 3. Boost the moisture in your skin Charles continues: “Another mistake I see patients make when their skin gets oily is skipping their moisturiser – or worse SPF – for fear of looking shinier. “It’s always important to keep skin well-nourished and hydrated so that sebaceous glands don’t overcompensate.” Equally, Dr Preema Vig at Dr Preema London recommends using products with ingredients that will boost your skin’s moisture, including hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin and squalane. Croma Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Face Mask, £48 4. Give your scalp some love Skincare doesn’t stop at your face. “In the summer months, our scalp can often be neglected and suffer – whether that be from sun exposure and sweating to tying the hair in restrictive, high-stress ponytails due to the heat,” says Munir Somji at DrMedispa. “These hairstyles, alongside heat damage from the sun, can cause hair to lose volume and break easily.” That’s why it’s important to give your scalp some love during the warmer months – by wearing looser ponytails, using targeted treatments or even giving yourself a scalp massage. 5. Don’t forget your eye area“Skin can become red and inflamed during the summer months, caused by blockage and inflammation of your sweat ducts,” says aesthetic oculoplastic surgeon Sabrina Shah-Desai. “Don’t forget to treat your eye area. When it comes to the delicate eye area, think about investing in some slightly larger sunglasses for extra protection, alongside a product to treat any pigmentation and protect.” Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Eye Cream, £30, Look Fantastic 6. Protect your hair, too It’s not just your skin that needs SPF – your hair could benefit from it too when the sun starts shining. “Warmer weather can cause your hair to become dry, frizzy and more prone to breakage due to increased exposure to UV rays, humidity and sweat,” says GHD UK ambassador and celebrity hair stylist Samantha Cusick. “The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation can damage the proteins in your hair, which can lead to dryness, brittleness, and breakage. Additionally, sun exposure can also cause your hair colour to fade and lose its vibrancy.” The key to protecting your hair from the sun’s rays? Cusick recommends “wearing a hat or using a hair product that contains SPF”. Coola Scalp & Hair Mist Sunscreen SPF 30, £29, Feel Unique 7. Battle the frizz “Humidity can cause hair to absorb moisture from the air, which can lead to swelling and frizz. This is because hair is made up of keratin proteins, which can change shape when exposed to water. Additionally, the moisture can disrupt the hydrogen bonds in hair, leading to frizz,” Cusick explains. To beat the frizz, opt for anti-frizz products and always use heat protectant – and Cusick recommends using a tool such as the GHD styler that goes up to 185 degrees: “The optimum temperature to style hair,” she says.
