Creativity is in our DNA at Apple, and it's incredibly important to us to design products that empower creatives all over the world. Our goal is to always celebrate the myriad of ways users express themselves and bring their ideas to life through iPad. We missed the mark with this video, and we're sorry.
Let me start by saying I’m sorry for my recent actions; it is inexcusable. I’m sorry to Jacksfilm, YouTube, the entire creator community, and my incredible fans for not being a better example for appropriate conflict resolution. Jacksfilm, while we certainly don’t see eye to eye and have our differences, I am sorry for reacting the way I did when I should’ve taken the opportunity to show young creators how adults and professionals resolve conflict by communicating directly, respectfully, and privately; not for views or content, but a meaningful example of how conflict should be solved. I will reach out directly and hope we can find some time to connect and communicate, respectfully. I’d also like to thank YouTube for holding me accountable. I deserve it, respect the decision and appreciate the opportunity to learn and grow from a true lapse in judgement.
I'd just like to clear something up regarding the accusations being made about me by some of the female members of this page. The accusations regarding my so called "behavior" are untrue and extremely hurtful. To the accusers (you know who you are kitten), a few points for your consideration: thinking
1) Yes I was asking for feet pics in DMs, I will admit to that. Apparently this can come off as inappropriate for some. So I reluctantly apologize for that.
2) The feet pics I was attempting to accumulate from this server were strictly for artistic purposes and NON-SEXUAL in nature. Ever heard of a non-sexual foot fetishist? Well sorry to break it.
3) I have almost NEVER taken screenshots of the feet that have been sent to me and/or sent these pics to other people
4) No I have not been making threats to those who choose to ignore my messages & friend requests. Telling someone who has clearly wronged me that there will be consequences for their actions is not a "threat". I consider it more a... life lesson per se. Learn the difference then report back to me. I'll be right here waiting for an apology.
5) And finally, as you can see, I didn't tag any of the women who wronged me in this message, as doing so would not comply with my ethics, but I will always respect one's decision to have their own so called "opinion" no matter how misguided it may be.
As you can tell, my interests lay mainly in the high arts and I can guarantee you that if and when you do decide to step down off your fucking throne and accept my humble friend requests (feet pics or not) at the very least you will end up having a very compatible and knowledgeable friend. Hopefully this clears a few things up with the more disgruntled members of this page.
[Spoken]
Hey
It's been a while since you saw my face
I haven't been doing so great
So I took a little break
A lot of people are saying some things about me that aren't quite true
Doesn't matter if it's true, though
Just as long as it's entertaining to you, right?
You guys having fun?
[Chorus]
All aboard the toxic gossip train
Chugging down the tracks of misinformation
The toxic gossip train
You got a one-way ticket to manipulation station
Toxic gossip train
Tie me to the tracks and harass me for my past
Those rumors look like facts if you don't mind the gaps
I won't survive in the crash, but hey
At least you're havin' fun
[Spoken]
Uh, hi, everyone
I've been wanting to come online and talk to you about a few things
Um, even though my team has strongly advised me to not say what I want to say
I recently realized that they never said that I couldn't sing what I wanna say, so
Here I am, and, um, today I only wanna talk about the facts
So, I hope that you'll be willing to listen
Here we go
Many years ago, I used to message my fans
Uh, but not in a creepy way like a lot of you are trying to suggest
It was more of a loser kind of way
Where I was just trying to be besties with everybody
It was kinda like, uh, when you go to like a family gathering, you know?
And there's a weird aunt there who keeps coming up to you and going like "Hey, girl, what's the tea!"
And you're like "Ehhh"
Um, that was me, but in group chats with my fans, it was weird

[Verse 1]
I've been sharing my life online for over 15 years
I've poured my heart out to you and because of that I feel
Like I'm talking to my friends, but, in the beginning of my career
I didn't really understand that maybe there should be some boundaries there
There were times in the DMs when I would overshare
Details of my life, which was really weird of me
I haven't done that for years, you see
Because I changed my behavior, and I took accountability
[Spoken]
But that's not very interesting, is it?
[Chorus]
So let's go on the toxic gossip train
The locomotive's fueled with hateful accusations
The toxic gossip train
Steamroll over someone's reputation
Toxic gossip train
Hop on board, but close your eyes, otherwise you'll realize
That the train is made of lies and that person you despise
Maybe didn't deserve to die
But hey, at least you're havin' fun
[Spoken]
In all seriousness, I do think it's really important to hold people accountable for their mistakes
Um, y'know, we should hope that everyone can learn from their mistakes
And grow, and change their behavior, and be a better person
This is something that I've always tried to do when I make mistakes
And is something that I will continue to try t- what?
Oh, you don't care? Oh, okay
[Verse 2]
I thought you wanted me to take accountability
But that's not the point of your mob mentality, is it? No
Your goal is to ruin the life of the person you despise
While you dramatize your lies and monetize their demise
[Spoken]
Yeah, um, I feel like I can already hear the comments on this video
"She's gaslighting, manipulating!"
"Ugh, she's a narcissist and a rat!"
"I would never make a mistake like that."
[Verse 3]
Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize
That all of you are perfect, so please, criticize me
Bring out the daggers made from your perfect past
And stab me repeatedly in my bony little back
I'm sure you're disappointed in my shitty little song
I know that you wanted me to say that I was 100% in the wrong
Well, I'm sorry, I'm not gonna take that route
Of admitting to lies and rumors that you made up for clout
[Verse 4]
"Hey everybody, I found someone new to harass
She did some things that I do not like, in her past
So everybody, gather 'round, 'cause we're about to attack"
But not based on facts, oh no
Your loaded lethal weapon is your fingers on the keys
You don't need any armor when you can hide behind a screen
So, shoot me down, quick, with a click, and bam
My reputation's deceased
[Spoken]
Uh, I also wanted to take a minute to talk about that girl, Miranda Sings
You know the one, yeah her
Uh, she's PG-13, it says that on my website
[Verse 5]
And it's always been that way
And that's why you won't find my videos on the YouTube Kids app
Anyway, um, I didn't realize it was my responsibility
To decide what was appropriate for every kid to see
I've always relied on parents to decide if they're comfortable
With their families watching my YouTube videos or coming to my live shows
Now, have I made some jokes in poor taste? Yes
Have I made lots of dumb mistakes? Yes
Am I sad that there's some fans that feel betrayed? Yes
But was my intention to manipulate? No
[Spoken]
It doesn't really matter what my intention was
'Cause it seems as though everyone's already decided on that
Let me tell you, it's not very fun to have millions of people all over the world
Call you the most vile, horrendous, disgusting, life-ruining words
That a person can be called, in my opinion
Um, it doesn't matter that these things aren't true
Uh, everyone just believes that you are the type of person who manipulates and abuses children
So, I just wanted to say that, um
The only thing that I've ever groomed is my two Persian cats
I'm not a groomer, I'm just a loser
[Verse 6]
Who didn't understand I shouldn't respond to fans
And I'm not a predator even though a lot of you think so
Because 5 years ago, I made a fart joke
So, even though I know this video won't change anyone's mind about me
I still felt it was important to come on here and defend myself a little
And take accountability
And I also wanted to say that
To anyone out there who has ever supported me in any capacity
[Spoken]
I really, really appreciate you, thank you
For what it's worth, I never had any bad intentions
But I do feel like shit
[Chorus]
The toxic gossip train
Chugging down the tracks of misinformation
Toxic gossip train
You got a one way ticket to manipulation station
Toxic gossip train
You tied me to the tracks and harassed me for my past
Rumors look like facts when you don't mind the gaps
I won't survive in the crash, but hey
Hope you had some fun
[Spoken]
Actually, y'know, I feel like maybe I should let you guys know something, um
Seems like, maybe you're confused about something? I don't know
Let me try to help, um
[Outro]
Sometimes people make a mistake and it doesn't make them a horrible person, whoa
Sometimes people can make a mistake and they're still a good person
Crazy, I know
Sometimes people can make a mistake and you don't have to take that mistake, oh no
And twist it up, and grind it, and add some lies to it, and pulverize it
And stab it with knives, and ruin a life, and, oh no
Sometimes people can make a mistake, it doesn't mean you gotta send them hate, oh no
Sometimes people can make a mistake and you can kindly let them know, and help them to grow
Sometimes people make mistakes, simply because they made a mistake?
And that mistake doesn't make them a terrible human
It just makes them a human
[Spoken]
But what do I know?
Fuck me, right?
I'm sure you've all heard about the recent allegations against me, and I knew I couldn't stay silent about this any longer. It's time to finally come clean and explain exactly what happened, and the steps that I'm taking to address the problem.
First of all, let me say that I am sorry. I know I fucked up, and I can't take back what I've done. I'm a human, and sometimes I make mistakes. That's not an excuse, but it is the truth. My heart goes out to the people that may or may not have been harmed by my actions. A number of people - I won't name names - have spoken out against what I've done, and they're right to do so. I deeply regret my actions, and while I don't expect them to forgive me, I do hope that the actions I've taken since to prevent this from happening again will help ease their suffering. I was in the wrong here, and they have every right to be angry at me. Are all of their accusations true? Who's to say. Many of the things they have allegedly claimed I have done may have been true, and many of them might not have been. It's important to consider the context that these words or actions might have taken place in, and withhold judgement until all the facts about this situation have become more clear. A lot of misinformation has been spreading about the things I did, and no one, not even me, can be entirely sure what exactly took place.
That being said, I deeply regret what happened, and take full responsibility for the consequences of whatever it was that I did. I had an opportunity to try and make things better, and it's clear that the choices I made were wrong, and only made things worse. I know that these words won't make everything right. Nothing I can do now will make this easier for the people who were affected by my actions, and I don't expect it to. All I can do now is be as honest as possible and make sure everyone understands why I did what I did. This whole experience has been extremely humbling, and has shown me how important it is to consider to consequences of carelessness for someone in my position. I have dedicated myself to ensuring that the things I have done will never happen again, in all likelyhood.
Above all else, I want everyone to know that my heart goes out to those who were involved in this, and that I am taking total responsibility for what I have done. I hope you will consider all the facts I have laid out here, and come to your own conclusions about this whole situation.
Finally, if anyone else feels the need to publicly apologize, or respond to accusations against them, I'd like to offer this thread as a space to do so. The public deserves to understand these situations from all sides, and I hope we can open a dialogue to make sure that these kinds of incidents don't happen again.
Relationship apology
My bad. It will not happen again. I am deeply sorry and am really apologizing for what I've done. I truly am sorry. From the bottom of my heart. The fact that I've done this is just... I'm so sorry. I will not allow anything like this to happen ever again. I feel very bad about myself now. I promise this will absolutely never happen again in the future. You're upset. I'm upset. Indeed, it truly was my own fault for causing this to happen in the first place. My own actions have led me to this. I hope my apology was sincere enough. My bad.
I am writing to express my sincere apologies for my actions. I know that I have hurt you, and for that I am truly sorry. I take full responsibility for my behavior and understand that I made a mistake.
Please know that I am committed to making things right and to ensuring that this does not happen again in the future. I will do whatever it takes to make things right and to earn back your trust.
Once again, please accept my sincerest apologies for my actions. I hope that you can forgive me and give me the chance to make things right.
I must give you my greatest apology. I never meant it to go this far. When I started these shenanigans, I imagined nothing of such a serious matter. I didn't mean to harm your dignity, respect, or honor. But, now that's it's gone this far, I can only do one thing; apologize. So, from the bottom of my intellect, family, pride, and dogs, I give you my strongest and hardiest apology. I hope you could forgive me one day.
Logan Paul x Discord apology
I've made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement and I don't expect to be forgiven. I'm simply here to apologize. So what we did in the discord server was simply unplanned and the reactions you saw on text were raw, they were unfiltered. None of us knew how to react or how to feel. I should have never said those things. I should have put the keyboard down, and stopped typing what i was thinking through. there were a lot of things I should have done differently, but I didn't, and for that from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry. I want to apologize to the discord server, I want to apologize to anyone who's seen the things i said, I want to apologize to anyone who has been affected or touched by us. But, most importantly, I want to apologize to the victims. and my friends who are defending my actions, please don't, they do not deserve to be defended. The goal of my words is always to entertain, to push the boundaries, to be all inclusive and in the world I live in I share almost everything I do. The intent is never to be heartless, cruel, or malicious. Like I said, I made a huge mistake, I don't expect to be forgiven, I'm just here to apologize. I'm ashamed of myself. I'm disappointed in myself, and I promise to be better. I will be better, thank you.
Public apology
Public apology to <person> issued by <you>
I want to express my deepest apologies to <person> for the doubts that I unjustly harbored. In hindsight, I see that my skepticism was baseless, and I deeply regret any distress or disappointment it may have caused you. Your character and integrity are evident, and I failed to recognize and appreciate them as I should have.
I understand that doubt can erode trust, and for that, I am truly sorry. It was not a reflection of your actions but rather a shortcoming on my part. I want you to know that I am committed to rectifying this situation and rebuilding the trust that may have been strained.
I acknowledge the hurt my doubts may have inflicted, and I genuinely hope you can find it within yourself to forgive me. Moving forward, I am dedicated to being more open-minded, understanding, and supportive, ensuring that our relationship can thrive without the shadows of doubt.
Once again, I am sorry for any pain I caused, and I am eager to learn from this experience and demonstrate through my actions that you can trust me moving forward.
I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologise.
What we came across in the woods that day was obviously unplanned. The reactions you saw on tape were raw; they were unfiltered. None of us knew how to react or how to feel. I should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down and stopped recording what we were going through.
There's a lot of things I should have done differently but I didn't. And for that, from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry. I want to apologise to the internet. I want to apologise to anyone who has seen the video. I want to apologise to anyone who has been affected or touched by mental illness, or depression, or suicide. But most importantly I want to apologise to the victim and his family.
For my fans who are defending my actions, please don't. I don’t deserve to be defended. My goal with my content is always to entertain; to push the boundaries, to be all-inclusive. In the world live in, I share almost everything I do. The intent is never to be heartless, cruel, or malicious. Like I said I made a huge mistake. I don’t expect to be forgiven, I’m just here to apologise. I'm ashamed of myself. I’m disappointed in myself. And I promise to be better. I will be better. Thank you.
