Logan Paul's defense backfires after sharing video of dog incident

Logan Paul’s attempt to defend himself against dog-pushing claims backfired, sparking even more backlash.

Logan Paul recently found himself under fire after a 2020 video resurfaced in which his dog, Broley, was seen jumping off a boat. The video led to widespread accusations on social media, with critics claiming that Paul intentionally pushed the dog off the boat to create dramatic content. Paul responded to the allegations by sharing a slow-motion clip of the incident, insisting that Broley jumped on his own and was not pushed.

However, sharing the video did not have the intended effect. Instead of quelling the backlash, it only fueled further criticism. Viewers scrutinized the footage more closely, with many arguing that the video did indeed show a hand pushing the dog off the boat. Critics like @KavosYT on Twitter/X labeled the act "disgusting," accusing Paul of putting his dog in danger for views.

❗️This Is DISGUSTING❗️

Logan Paul or someone from his crew putting his dog in danger just for content... (hard to tell who touches the dog)

Acting as if it "jumped" when you can clearly see a hand push the dog. What a fucking scumbag https://t.co/6dyrGbjPkR

Paul's attempt to clarify the situation seemed to backfire, as more fans expressed outrage, questioning his actions and integrity. Despite his firm denial and explanation that the hand seen in the video was merely petting Broley, the backlash continued to grow, with many remaining unconvinced by his defense.
