Sophie Turner Responds To Logan Paul's Suicide Forest Video: "You're An Idiot"

This Sunday, Dec. 31, YouTuber Logan Paul posted a video of him and his friends in a place known as "Suicide Forest" in Japan. The video showed Paul and his friends laughing as they look at the body of a man who had apparently committed suicide. Many have spoken out condemning Paul's actions. One of the latest celebrities to speak out against Paul and the since-deleted video is a Game of Thrones star. Sophie Turner responded to Logan Paul's suicide forest video, calling him an "idiot." Paul, who was a popular Vine user before the app was shut down, is now a YouTube star who posts 15-minute videos on the site every day. YouTube has not made an official comment about the video, nor did the site do anything to remove or provide some kind of viewer discretion warning. Elite Daily reached out to Paul's team for comment, but did not hear back by time of publication.

The video took place in the Aokigahara forest in Japan, which has come to be known as the "Suicide Forest" over the last decade due to the number of people who have taken their lives in it. It's located at the base of Mount Fuji. In the video, Paul laughs and at one point says, "Yo, are you alive?" to the dead man's body. Paul has received mounds of criticism following the video, and there are people asking that YouTube removes his channel because of it. Paul posted an apology on Twitter, but many, like Turner, think the apology was half-baked.

Sophie Turner's response to Logan Paul was tweeted on Monday, Jan 1. It said, "You're an idiot. You're not raising awareness. You're mocking. I can't believe how self-praising your 'apology' is. You don't deserve the success (views) you have. I pray to God you never have to experience anything like that man did."

In Paul's apology from Monday, Jan. 1, he said “I didn’t do it for the views. I get views.” In the video, he notes that suicide and depression are not a joke and that his laughing in the video wasn't his response to the man's circumstances. He said it was a coping mechanism. More of his apology said, “I was misguided by shock and awe, as portrayed in the video. I still am.”
