Paul faced significant backlash for the stunt. Sargent was referring to a December 2017 video in which Paul filmed a suicide victim in a Japanese forest known for the deaths. Having him try to use the Flat Earth members as part of a comeback is beyond insulting.” His stunt at the Japanese suicide forest was unforgivable, and should be a social media life sentence. “There were over 20 speakers at this event, and only Robbie Davidson officially endorsed him. “Logan's team swore the conference promoter to secrecy, and when it was revealed, it caused some major ripples,” Sargent said in November email. Prominent Flat Earther Mark Sargent withdrew from the lineup in protest over Paul’s attendance, he told The Daily Beast shortly after the conference. (On Friday, Davidson told The Daily Beast he didn't believe Paul was "a genuine Flat Earther," but that he was genuine about his investigation.)īut not everyone was on board. “I have a very good feeling he’s genuine,” organizer Robbie Davidson told the hundreds of Flat Earthers gathered for Paul’s speech. The organizer of the Flat Earth International Conference thought Paul was open to the ideology when he allowed Paul into the gathering. At the conference, Paul delivered a brief speech claiming to “come out of the Flat Earth closet.” Paul’s movie interviews real Flat Earthers, but by the end of the film Paul reveals he does not actually believe the conspiracy theory. Much of Paul’s mockumentary was filmed at 2019’s Flat Earth International Conference in Denver, Colorado. “He came in using fraud and deception,” Hughes told The Daily Beast. Although he’s no stranger to cameras ( a documentary about him is forthcoming) or lawsuits (he tells The Daily Beast he’s suing the Department of Justice), Hughes is now attempting to sue Paul and one of Paul’s colleagues for half a million dollars. Hughes, who has made a name for himself as the Flat Earth movement’s self-taught rocket stuntman, claims Paul filmed him under false pretenses at the conference. YouTube megastar Logan Paul is getting sued over his Flat Earth mockumentary by Mike “Mad Mike” Hughes, who is trying to ride a homemade rocket into space to prove the earth is flat.
