Jake Paul has deflected some of the heat from his brother onto himself with his own controversial post just a day after Logan Paul’s ‘suicide’ video.
The YouTube vlogger, who has courted controversy many times in the past himself, posted a video online that angered users given that his account is meant to be ‘family friendly’ and is watched by viewers as young as 12.
The video was entitled ‘I lost my virginity’ and the thumbnail featured a semi naked man being straddled by a woman in her underwear – both were misleading as the post was about him going skiing for the first time.
In the video he opens by waking up his friends by spraying them with a fire extinguisher as he yells ‘get out it’s toxic’, before eventually going skiing with his friends.
The post particularly angered viewers as it came just a day after his brother and fellow vlogger shared a sickening video that showed him discovering the body of a man who died by suicide in a Japanese forest.

Logan Paul posts a video with a dead body in it, no longer than 24 hours later Jake Paul posts a video about losing his virginity, both have audiences 12 and under. It's been two days into 2018 and they've both already screwed up big time. I just hope alot of people realize that.

Jake’s brother Logan yesterday shared a clip entitled We found a dead body in the Japanese Suicide Forest…, to his 15 million subscribers, deleting it 24 hours later amid uproar.
The backlash was swift and fierce, with many calling for the star to be banned from the video sharing site permanently. Now the 21-year-old vlogger has posted a grovelling apology to his Twitter account, explaining his actions and that he ‘doesn’t expect to be forgiven’.
He said: ‘I want to apologise to the internet, I want to apologise to the people who have seen the video and to anyone who has been affected or touched by mental illness or depression or suicide but most importantly i want to apologise to the victim and the family.
‘To my fans who are defending my actions, please don’t, they do not deserve to be defended, the goal with my content is to always entertain, to push the boundaries, to be all inclusive, in the world i live in, i share most everything i do, the intent is to never be heartless, cruel or heartless or malicious, like I said I made a huge mistake, I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m just here to apologise.
‘I’m ashamed of myself. I’m disappointed in myself and i promise to be better. I will be better. Thank you.’
