Many have criticized the program with one interviewer questioning whether the program would send a dangerous message to his young fanbase. Further, YouTuber h3h3productions went and called the platform a “scam”. Also, BuzzFeed News reporter Lauren Strapagiel described this as “deeply underwhelming”.

Relationship Status

Currently, Jake Paul is dating Julia Rose. He often posts their pictures on Instagram handles and also features her in several YouTube videos.

Paul began dating a fellow internet sensation, musician, and model Tana Mongeau in April 2019. Shortly after that, the couple got married in July 2019. However, the pair are not legally married. However, in early 2020, the couple announced that they were taking a break. He publicly announced his part through an Instagram post on January 3, 2020, stating how crazy the past couple of months have been and that they are doing what’s best for them at the moment.

However, many people doubt the genuineness of their marriage. It is because he has previously dated and married a Team 10 member Erika, which he revealed was all fake and was only for the videos. They also created a music video titled “Jerika”. Hence, people are accusing him of fake marriage with Tana. Before this, he dated Alissa Violet, however, the couple split in 2017.

Scandals

In July 2017, Cobra Acquisitions sued Paul for $2.5 million. It is the company that owns Paul’s house located in Beverly Grove, Los Angeles. It was done so to create a public nuisance in the neighborhood when his fans gathered outside his new house after he made his address public.

Disney shows Bizaardvark also expelled him from its second season for creating public disturbances through his pranks, parties, fire hazards, and the commotion created by his fans in his neighborhood. Moreover, his neighbors in Beverly Grove, a neighborhood of Los Angeles considered filing a class-action public nuisance lawsuit against the star after he’d made his home address public, leading crowds of fans to gather outside the residence, turning the street into a madhouse

Shady Gambling scandal

Moreover, on December 30, published a video that looked exactly like many others on YouTube: a bait-y thumbnail with Paul’s stupefied expression surrounded by cutouts of objects, numbers, and random punctuation marks having a comically hyperbolic title “I Spent $5,000 ON MYSTERY BOXES & You WON’T Believe What I Got (insane).” He along with other YouTubers including RiceGum was criticized for promoting a shady gambling website to their millions of subscribers, many of whom are children.

Moreover, the shady gambling website MysteryBrand offers the chance to open a digital “mystery box” of pre-selected items with a promise to win one in real life at random. However, many users have said they have not received prizes they won through the site. This is also why he came under fire for promoting such sites.

Age-Inappropriate Video scandal

In the first video in the year 2018, he posted a video titled I lost my Virginity… which is not only misleading but wildly inappropriate for his audience. It is because both he and his brother Logan have an audience of young, impressionable fans and that’s why some of their videos have courted controversy in the past for being wrong, sometimes on many levels.

The video in controversy had a thumbnail of him semi-naked in bed with a woman straddling him with just her underwear on. Most would expect this type of image to accompany a video on Pornhub or some similar sites rather than something for kids. However, he has since changed the thumbnail to another image of a woman lying on a bed in the background, while he’s got a look on his face that suggests he has done something really bad.

The woman in the second thumbnail he chose is decidedly more clothed than before. To brief the video, he doesn’t have sex on this video but rather kisses his girlfriend a couple of times. He shows his ‘virginity’ losing moments in the form of skiing for the first time.

The video is also full of the sort of antics that his 19 million subscribers will be familiar with. It opens with him using a fire extinguisher to wake up his mates in their ski cabin, then adds in spraying soft drinks all over the property as well as smashing through a fly screen.

Other Scandals

To make matters worse for him, a video obtained by TMZ shows him saying the N-word in a freestyle rap. Furthermore, people accused him of using age-inappropriate thumbnails on his YouTube videos and TMZ reported him of using the racial tag “nigga” several times while rapping. Similarly, he created a drama when he revealed that his relationship with fellow YouTuber Erika was fake all along. The pair also married, which was all for the videos. Hence, his marriage to Tana is also speculated to be fake just like his previous one.

On July 11, 2020, Paul threw a large party at his home in Calabasas, California despite the COVID-19 pandemic. He invited dozens of people to attend without wearing masks or maintaining social distancing. His neighborhood even complained about it.
