Logan Paul, known for his role in WWE as well as his presence on the internet, has issued an apology after making Alix Earle, a prominent social media figure, feel uneasy.

During a recent interview at the Fanatics Super Bowl Party in San Francisco, Paul spoke with Earle, a University of Miami alumna, while covering events for the Super Bowl festivities earlier this month.

The situation took a turn for the worse when Paul inadvertently provoked Earle by asking if she had won “Dancing With The Stars,” eliciting a displeased reaction from the TikTok star.

Earle had participated in the most recent season of the popular ABC competition, ultimately finishing as the runner-up to Australian wildlife advocate Robert Irwin.

Paul has since clarified that he did not intend to upset Earle, describing the question as an unintentional blunder.

When questioned by Brianna LaPaglia of Barstool Sports on his Impaulsive podcast, Paul admitted, “That was a f***ing mistake,” acknowledging the misstep in his interaction with Earle.

‘I made such a mistake. I thought she won. I was like trapped. I was like, ‘Oh f***.’ Here I am thinking I’m complimenting her, like laying her up to be like, ‘Yeah, I won!’  And then, I was like, ‘F***, she didn’t win.’

‘I felt so bad because you could tell in that moment she was…,’ Paul added before trailing off as LaPaglia interjected, ‘She was uncomfortable.’

‘Yeah. Man, she gave us the grace of joining the podcast,’ Paul continued.

‘I can’t believe she even sat down,’ LaPaglia added.

‘I owe her an apology,’ Paul admitted. ‘[…] Look, I’m not a perfect human being, far from it.’

The incident stemmed from Earle’s appearance on his podcast live from a red carpet event during Super Bowl week. 

Paul suddenly asked her, ‘Have you won Dancing With The Stars before?’ 

Visibly taken aback, Earle replied, ‘No, I haven’t. Thank you so much for rubbing it in.’

His cohost Mike Majlak was bewildered as he asked Paul, ‘Why would you say that?’ 

The 30-year-old replied, ‘Look, I thought you should have won, so did my wife.’ Earle replied in a small voice, ‘Thank you.’ 

She wasn’t the only one whom Paul appeared to offend during the special edition of his podcast as he found himself embroiled in a spat with NFL legend Tom Brady, who has sparked romance rumors with Earle.

During the same episode, Paul traded barbs with the seven-time Super Bowl winner over the upcoming Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Paul outlined his supposed athletic resume but Brady wasn’t convinced quickly shutting down the suggestion that the wrestler’s WWE experience would translate to the NFL. 

‘I’m actually a little worried for you,’ Brady joked. ‘You’re a good athlete, but these guys are on another level. It’s cute. I love WWE. It’s very cute.

‘But, honestly, this is like real football, real competition. Let’s see if you can still bring it. I mean, we all had a great past.

‘I won seven Super Bowls, You know what matters? This game, March 21, in Saudi, I’m glad you’re going to be there and I’m glad you’re finally going to participate in a competition that matters.’
