Logan Paul, known for his online antics, was filming the event when Theo Von, seated directly in front of him, suddenly fell backward from his chair.
The unexpected tumble drew a mix of reactions from the crowd, ranging from concern to mild frustration. One attendee could even be heard shushing the group as the commotion briefly disrupted the solemn atmosphere.
Paul quickly checked on Von, asking if he was alright and jokingly claiming he had predicted the accident.
The culprit appeared to be the simple metal folding chairs provided for the event, though given the Paul brothers’ reputation for pranks, some in attendance may have wondered if there was more to the story.
Von, known for his quick wit, brushed off the incident with humor.
He quipped that his chair fell apart because it was “Kamala’s chairs,” referencing outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris.

His lighthearted response and eagerness to laugh at himself underscored his easygoing nature.
