Earlier this week, Teigen had come to Paul’s defense, offering a different opinion than those who immediately vilified the YouTuber.
“Re: Logan Paul, something I always think about is when people make…ethical mistakes, as in, not-illegal,” she wrote, continuing with “should we really be trying to ruin their lives and end their careers or accept the apology, personally make a choice to stop watching, and move on.”

Over the weekend, Paul had uploaded a video to his YouTube Channel, which boasts over 15 million followers.
The video, filmed in Japan’s Aokigahara Forest, which is known as the “suicide forest” due to the number of suicides attempted and completed there, Paul and his crew showed what appeared to be the dead body of a man hanging from a tree.
The video, which Paul took down on Monday, was immediately met with backlash, many calling for YouTube to delete the 22-year-old’s channel.
