Logan Paul was a massive celebrity even before making his way to WWE. He has also dealt with his fair share of over-zealous fans as well. After hearing a grim update about one fan who went too far, the WWE United States Champion was devastated.
Logan Paul’s Stalker Drama
In 2018, Logan Paul found himself targeted by a man who apparently had an extreme fixation on him, even going so far as to break into his home. Unbeknownst to Logan at the time, this individual later took his own life.
During a conversation with TMZ, they approached this dark chapter of his life when a person named Tahj Deondre Speight allegedly trespassed into Logan’s house without authorization, leading to a confrontation. Paul had no idea what happened to his stalker after that, but the news shook him.
During that scary ordeal, Logan ended up apprehending Speight, who was subsequently arrested, charged, prosecuted, and eventually incarcerated. However, it came to light that Speight had passed away, seemingly by suicide.
Logan Paul Reacts To His Tahj Deondre Speight’s Apparent Suicide
Harvey Levin shared this news with Logan during the TMZ interview, catching him off guard with the revelation. Then the question was posed, asking if the system failed Speight by not providing him with the necessary help or resources.
In response, Logan provided a candid answer, expressing empathy for the man he once subdued. He went on to express his thoughts that the system failed his stalker, because he was not mentally stable, and he didn’t get the help he needed.
“Heavy …. I didn’t know he died. I’d say the system definitely failed him, for sure. I didn’t even know he died, and the first thing I said was, ‘this is obviously an unstable individual, and I’d like to emphasize with him however much I can. Whatever facility, whatever protocol was put in place to try to help this individual obviously failed, and that’s a shame. These aren’t normal individuals. They’re insane, and they need to be treated as such, and they need to be taken care of in a better way.”
