When Logan Paul was abandoned by Dwayne Johnson

Logan Paul shared a good rapport with Hollywood superstar, Dwayne Johnson. In fact, Johnson even featured in a few of Paul’s videos. However, Paul’s infamous Aokigahara incident, saw Johnson distancing himself from him.

Paul faced immense backlash after the video of his video at the Aokigahara in Japan went viral. Meanwhile, Johnson’s manager also asked him to remove any video featuring Johnson.

Talking about the incident, he said, “I got a call from my publicist, who also, repped Dwayne The Rock Johnson. And she’s like, hey, Dwayne has asked that you remove every picture and video that you’ve done with him. And maybe in the future, you know, the relationship can be reconciled, but for now, he basically wants nothing to do with you.”

Moreover, he also added that he wished that Johnson would have personally spoken to him. And, that he felt abandoned by Johnson.
