Disgraced YouTube influencer turned amateur boxer turned NFT publisher, Logan Paul, is once again universally loathed after the animal sanctuary Gentle Barn released a TikTok on Monday suggesting it had rescued his former pig from the wild. Named Pearl, the teacup pig was reportedly found alone in a field beside another dead pig when the group discovered her, with Paul proceeding to thank the organization for rescuing her according to an email obtained by TMZ.
“It was just brought to my attention that a pig I owned nearly two years ago, Pearl, was rescued and rehomed by your organization,” the email began. “With every ounce of gratitude I have, thank you.” The message went on to say that Pearl lived “happily” at the YouTuber’s home in Encino for two years, but he had to rehome her to a horse ranch in Santa Clarita when he moved to Puerto Rico in 2020. Pearl apparently only lived there for 10 months before being rehomed again to the farm “across the street.”
“It’s shocking and heartbreaking to hear the state she was found,” Paul wrote. “I wanted to reach out personally and say thank you for taking her in.”
Gentle Barn’s TikTok said the group recently got a call about an abandoned pig in a field. When it arrived, Pearl was reportedly found with another pig who had died. Her ears were “mangled” and she was apparently suffering from a potentially life-threatening uterus infection. Gentle Barn states in the video that it was told she originally belonged to a famous YouTuber and was irresponsibly rehomed, but that all it knows for sure is “she ended up abandoned and scared.”
Paul and Gentle Barn did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
