Logan Paul slams journalist after he published his Apple TV+ documentary for free on YouTube

Logan Paul has called out a journalist for being ‘manipulative’ after sharing his documentary on his YouTube channel rather than AppleTV.

In what should have been a proud moment for the YouTuber turned WWE star, things got a little awkward when Logan Paul began to speak his mind during an interview.

Speaking to TMZ, Logan Paul and Graham Bensinger were expected to promote their new documentary, 5 Months with Logan Paul.

However, during the interview, Paul confronted Bensinger and accused him of misleading him and aired his frustration in a rather awkward fashion.

“It lead to me opening up on Graham’s documentary because I thought he had my best interests in line, because I trusted this guy to do a profile on my life,” Paul said as he grew more irritated.

“I let him in for five months under the pretense that it was gonna be a show on Apple TV, and yesterday it airs on his YouTube channel.”

“I’m in a weird position, because although I think the piece was okay, the whole experience had been soured for me because I put my story into the hands of someone who I don’t think was really looking out for me.”

Normally this would be awkward enough to be called out by Paul but Graham was also on during the interview and the TMZ hosts gave him the opportunity to explain himself.

In response, Bensinger said he was ‘bummed to hear that’ from Paul, explaining that the documentary was ‘originally intended for a streaming platform’ but that it ‘didn’t work out’ in the end.

This didn’t seem to satisfy Paul, who then pulled up and showed printed email conversations he had had with Bensinger’s team.

This showed that they had told Paul that the intended platform was meant to be Apple TV+. He added that this possibility was the only reason he agreed to let Bensinger into his life.

He continued: “I gave you everything I have. I opened up to you. I was vulnerable. I let you into my house on Christmas, because I thought the show would go onto Apple.

"But instead, you plastered it on your personal YouTube channel.

“After 5 months of filming, coming into my life, I gave you archival footage of me and Jake from when we were kids, no one has seen that footage and it went on your personal YouTube channel yesterday because your deal with Apple didn’t work out."

He went on to argue that he felt used by Bensinger, who, again, repeated that the deal simply fell apart.
