“My dad would slap the s*** out of me,” Jake, who first began acquiring millions of followers on the now-defunct platform Vine, claimed in the episode.
“Our parents were really strict and mainly my dad – it was always Logan and I against him,” he says, mentioning his 28-year-old brother, who is also a social media sensation, though his brother feels quite differently about the allegations against their dad.
“Holy s***. Yo, Greg Paul is a f***ing being. He’s a menace. That guy’s intense,” Logan responds. “Jake may throw around the word ‘abusive.’ I prefer not quite legal.”

Greg was allowed to share his perspective on the accusations, claiming he never laid a finger on his boys, but maybe threw them “on a couch a couple times.”
“That’s what the f*** dads are supposed to do. Welcome to life, get the f*** over it.”
He concluded his thoughts by saying, if one was ever in a situation where an old lady was facing danger, would one prefer “a couple of Greg Pauls in the room or do you want some f**king fairy f**k, whiny little b**** who’s gonna sit there and talk about emotions?”
Despite all of the alleged abuse, Paul still points to his dad’s influence for contributing to his online success, stating: “He was so hard and so tough on us that my brother and I’s imaginations really started to flare up.”
“Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child” now streams on Netflix.
