Within the new Netflix documentary Untold: Jake Paul the Downside Little one, which premiered on Tuesday, the Paul brothers open up about some powerful instances they went via whereas rising up — notably by the hands of their father, Greg Paul. The youthful brother stated within the doc:
“Our mother and father have been actually strict and primarily my dad — it was all the time Logan and I towards him.”
Logan then jumped in:
“Holy s**t. Yo, Greg Paul is a f**king being. He’s a menace. That man’s intense… Jake might throw across the phrase ‘abusive.’ I desire ‘not fairly authorized.’”
Jake additional claimed their dad would “slap the s**t out of” them as they grew up — however his outlook on the circumstance is a bit completely different than you could count on:

Simply horrible. No youngster deserves to be bodily abused, ever. However we guess it’s good that Jake is saying he forgives his father?

In the meantime, in one other a part of the doc targeted on Greg’s response, he fully denies abusing his sons — and as a substitute says he did what “dads are presupposed to do”?! He stated throughout a confessional:
“I by no means laid arms on my children. And I did inform him, I stated, ‘Jake, I did decide you up and throw you on a sofa couple instances.’ [He said], ‘Effectively, I used to be afraid of you.’ I’m like, ‘That’s what the f**ok dads are presupposed to do.’”
The Paul patriarch then went on to talk on some made-up state of affairs in protection of his harsh parenting methods:
“Someone is available in right here, they begin harassing all people and smacking round an previous woman — would you like a pair Greg Pauls within the room or would you like some f**king fairy f**ok, whiny little bitch who’s gonna sit there and discuss feelings? Who would you like within the room?”
Oookay…
We supposed if a tiger walked into the room, it is perhaps higher for us if there have been already a grizzly bear within the room so they might give attention to each other. However we’d moderately neither of these issues.
However positive, hold telling your self how nice it’s that you just’re a violent jerk.
Regardless, although, Jake credit each little bit of his success to his dad:
“He was so arduous and so powerful on us that my brother and I’s imaginations actually began to flare up. So at some point we get a digital camera, and we simply begin filming our lives.”
Wow. We thought he was going to credit score is dad with the boxing stuff — he actually thinks harsh parenting led him to his YouTube profession? In any case, that success got here at a value, in response to Jake:
“It was straightforward to choose me aside. It turned a factor to hate Jake Paul. It’s not straightforward to be hated by the entire whole world.”
At one level, the 26-year-old’s psychological well being was at such a low, Logan stated he turned involved his brother might try suicide:
“Jake’s all the time been fairly emotionally unpredictable and risky. There was some extent the place we have been each legitimately involved that Jake was going to kill himself. He wants objective.”
Jake was capable of finding a “objective,” although — and he discovered it in boxing. He says the game made him really feel “alive”:
“I wasn’t completely happy. Boxing made me really feel alive once more.”
