Logan Paul's YouTube Advertising Temporarily Suspended After He Tases a Dead Rat
YouTube has once again taken issue with Logan Paul.
On Friday, a spokesperson for the video sharing service told ET in a statement that they had temporarily suspended the advertising on the internet star's channel.
"After careful consideration, we have decided to temporarily suspend ads on Logan Paul's YouTube channels," reads the statement. "This is not a decision we made lightly, however, we believe he has exhibited a pattern of behavior in his videos that makes his channel not only unsuitable for advertisers, but also potentially damaging to the broader creator community."
Earlier this week, Paul uploaded a video of himself and some friends tasing two dead rats after briefly discussing how to dispose of the rodents. “No rat comes into my house without getting tased!” Paul exclaims in the video before electrifying the lifeless animal.
He then jolts the animals again after throwing them out in the trash.
This is the second time this year that Paul's advertising privileges have been temporarily revoked. Last month, he was also briefly suspended after posting a video from Japan's so-called "Suicide Forest" that showed a man who had apparently taken his own life.
During a recent interview with Good Morning America, Paul spoke with Michael Strahan about what was going through his mind when he shared that image online and the repercussions that soon followed.
"I believe it happened for a reason," he said. "I think that reason is so I could take this experience, [and] learn from it."
