Logan Paul and Theo Von chair prank explained

On Monday, Theo Von and Logan Paul were among several famous personalities who attended Donald Trump’s inauguration. As for seating arrangements, Von was directly in front of the entertainer-turned-wrestler, who brought his younger brother, Jake Paul, along. However, when Von moved to take his seat, his chair unexpectedly broke, causing Theo Von, host of This Past Weekend podcast, to fall down.

Coincidentally, Logan Paul recorded the entire chair prank on video, causing Theo Von to suspect that the YouTube brothers had deliberately set up the prank. As a result, he publicly criticized the Paul brothers online for their alleged mischief, claiming that it was not an accident and that they were merely trying to find humor in messing with the chair; he added that there is a right time and place for such actions, as reported by The Independent.

Despite initially accusing Logan and Jake Paul of a chair prank, Theo Von later admitted that he may have acted too quickly and apologized for his accusations. On his social media platform (formerly Twitter), Von wrote, “I spoke with Logan Paul this morning and now I believe I was wrong about the chair incident being their fault. I could have communicated better/not listened to others. My apologies to the Pauls.” In response, Logan posted a message of respect for Theo on his own social media platform.
