Logan Paul has reiterated his rebuttal yet again after an old video resurfaced alongside claims he tried to kill his dog by pushing it off a boat.
His dog Broley ended up in the water and underneath the boat during the video, causing the YouTuber and his friends to freak out. However, some viewers began to speculate that Logan had intentionally pushed his dog off the boat –accusations that he quickly denied.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
“Logan Paul attempts to kill his dog by pushing it into a boat propeller for ‘content’ and tries to pretend it just jumped off,” said the viral post.

“The first thing I did was immediately revisit the original video and even back then, four years ago, I clarified in a comment that he was not pushed,” he said. “Broley is the one who initiated the jump from a crouching position.”

Despite his response, some argued in replies that Logan and his friends should have had the dog secured on the boat, and not free roaming.
Rumors that the video caused Paul to get banned have swirled over the years, but the YouTuber turned WWE starconfirmed he is capable of entering the country.
