Used to believe every celebrity apology video until the Logan Paul suicide forest one
Back in 2017 I'd watch those apology videos and think okay they messed up but they're owning it. Then Logan Paul posted that 2 minute thing after Japan and I remember sitting there like wait he's reading off a script and his eyes are dry. That's the moment I started paying attention to the actual tells. Now I look for how fast they blink, if they pause in the wrong spots, or if they use words like 'I take full responsibility' but never say what they're actually sorry for. Has anyone else got a specific apology that broke the illusion for you?

Three years in and I still think people overanalyze these things. I watched that Logan video and yeah it was bad but it was a 22 year old kid who just got famous off dumb stunts. The real tell is when they hire a crisis PR team and you can tell by the lighting and the background being too clean. I remember when James Charles did his first one after the Tati drama and everyone was counting his blinks like detectives. Feels like sometimes we just want to be mad so we pick apart everything.

Wait, so @the_sean is saying sweating is worse than crying now?

Oh man, that's the thing about the whole sweating vs crying debate - I think @casey818 is actually onto something because crying at least shows you're human, you know? Sweating just makes you look like you're physically uncomfortable with the mess you created, which honestly feels worse. It's like the difference between admitting you messed up and trying to act like you didn't.
