Logan Paul, an entrepreneurial YouTuber turned boxer, is the subject in a new lawsuit thanks to his decision in 2018 to post a graphic video showing a man who died by suicide in Japan. The lawsuit is being brought by a production company that reportedly lost $3 million after a project with Paul fell through.
According to TMZ, Planeless Pictures was set to produce a film called “Airplane Mode” where Paul would star as a fictionalized version of himself. Other YouTube influencers, such as Jake Paul, Juanpa Zurita, Nick Bateman and Amanda Cerny, were set to come on board. The film would then be released through these influencers’ channels as a new marketing ploy for films.
In its lawsuit, Planeless Pictures said it lost a $3 million licensing
