YouTube Stars’ Biggest Scandals

The internet is full of many different characters and personalities. Some of the biggest YouTube stars to ever exist include PewDiePie (aka Felix Kjellberg), twin brothers Jake Paul and Logan Paul, and James Charles. While PewDiePie may have a whopping 104 million subscribers (making him the most subscribed to YouTuber to date), the rest of the stars are not doing too bad either. Jake Paul has 20 million subscribers, Logan Paul has 21.3 million subscribers, and James Charles has 18.5 million subscribers. 

Though, while they all may have quite the fanbase, it does not mean they are necessarily well liked personalities. Indeed, these three YouTubers (and many more) have not been able to completely avoid negative attention from the public, due to the many times they’ve been involved with scandal, of course!

While Kjellberg and Charles have both been called out for making offensive racist and anti-Semitic remarks, Logan Paul has been called out for being insensitive towards suicide.
