Jake Paul Accuses His Father Of Abuse

'Untold,' the Netflix documentary anthology series has returned with an episode following Jake Paul's rise to fame on YouTube and in boxing.

'Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child' had interviews with Logan Paul, and explored the brothers' complex relationship with their father.

“Our parents were really strict and mainly my dad — it was always Logan and I against him."

“Holy s—t. Yo, Greg Paul is a f—king being. He’s a menace. That guy’s intense. Jake may throw around the word abusive. I prefer not quite legal.”

Greg Paul was also interviewed saying, "You know, a lot of people go, ‘Oh, my God, you’re so strict with your kids.’ OK, give me your kid for two weeks. When your kid comes back, your kid’s gonna be a better kid."

“Yeah, my dad would slap the s—t out of me,” Jake said. “I don’t resent it. I’m understanding of why he did that — that’s all he knew.”

Greg proceeded to deny all claims.

“I never laid hands on my kids. And I did tell him, I said, ‘Jake, I did pick you up and throw you on a couch couple times.’ [He said], ‘Well, I was afraid of you.’ I’m like, ‘That’s what the f—k dads are supposed to do.' Somebody comes in here, they start harassing everybody and smacking around an old lady — do you want a couple Greg Pauls in the room or do you want some f—king fairy f—k, whiny little bitch who’s gonna sit there and talk about emotions? Who do you want the room?”

Despite the abuse, Jake said "Personally, I attribute pretty much all of my success to my father. He was so hard and so tough on us that my brother and I’s imaginations really started to flare up. So one day we get a camera and we just start filming our lives.”

While the number grew on both Jake and Logan's YouTube channels, Jake booked a gig on Disney Channel's 'Bizaardvark.' This continued their rise to fame, and started the feuding between them on and offline.

“I think the way Greg raised us, combined with Jake living in my shadow for as long as he did, put a fire in his belly that is so hard to put out,” Logan said.

Jake and Logan both had their problems with scandal, Jake accused of sexual assault (he denied), terrorising his neighbours, and more, leading to Disney cutting ties. The brothers' controversies brought them closer.

“It was easy to pick me apart. It became a thing to hate Jake Paul. It’s not easy to be hated by the whole entire world.”

According to his dad, when he was "two months away from being flat broke," Jake's family feared for his life.

“Jake’s always been pretty emotionally unpredictable and volatile. There was a point where we were both legitimately concerned that Jake was going to kill himself. He need purpose.”

He turned to boxing after 'YouTube brothers from the U.K.' KSI and Deji, called him and Logan out to fight.

“What I learned in the entertainment industry directly correlates to boxing because boxing is show business. But first and foremost, it’s a show. Turns out, we’re good at it.”

While Jake's legitimacy in the sport is still being questioned, he has found major success in teaming up with promoter Nakisa Bidarian.

“People don’t realize it’s a business first. It’s an entertainment first. And the better you are at marketing, the more entertaining, the more people are going to buy your fights. You know, that’s where The Problem Child came from. I’ve always had that s—t talking nature. Growing up, all the uncles would be talking s—t to each other, yelling at each other, insulting each other. It’s just always been a part of me.”

Three years in, he fought heavyweight champion Tyson Fury's half-brother Tommy Fury, the first professional he faced in February 2023.

“You know what the through line is here? Me, Jake, Greg Paul, John Fury, Tommy Fury, Tyson Fury — we’ve all got some screws loose, bro."

Tommy won by a split decision, but earned Jake praise from some critics, including Mike Tyson.

“He does hero s—t, but he just don’t go by heroes’ laws, you know? He did more for boxing than some of the champions did. Listen, I’m a fan of people that know how to put asses in seats. … He’s going to save boxing as long as he continues to fight.”
