Jake Paul: ‘My dad would slap the s–t out of me’ growing up

nypost.com:

Jake’s celebrity older sibling, Logan Paul, 28, corroborates his younger brother’s experiences on screen, calling Greg “a menace.”“Jake may throw around the the word ‘abusive,’ I prefer ‘not quite legal,’” Logan says.“We’ve been through some s–t dude.

It wasn’t fun, it was f–king torture bro. But when you survive that s–t you become tough as f–k.”Greg Paul appears on camera numerous times, offering his own perspective on his boys’ rise to fame — and their early home life. “I never laid hands on my kids,” he insists.“I said, ‘Jake I did pick you up and throw you on a couch a couple of times,” Greg says. “That’s what the f–k dads are supposed to do.”“Welcome to life, get the f–k over it.”The Post reached out to Greg Paul for comment.Although on camera both Paul brothers write off the alleged treatment as the secret ingredient in their success, Logan says Jake never fully healed from what occurred during their upbringing.“Jake is still traumatized to this day about how my dad treated him.

And they still don’t get along like they should,” Logan says.While Greg has been a presence in his life for the most part including boxing, there have been times when that trauma has boiled over.For example, prior to Jake’s shock boxing victory over retired UFC legend Anderson Silva last October, Greg recalled on tape that his fighting son “shut me off with no warning.” Logan says the recent rift stemmed from the alleged abuse.“Jake’s birthday, we all flew to Utah in this cabin.

Jake was pretty f–ked up, so was my dad. There was a big group of people there. Jake mentioned my dad abusing him as a child,” Logan says. “They got in a huge argument and it hurt Jake so much that my dad refused to acknowledge the physical hardship that he put us.
