Jake Paul claims former Team 10 member was \u201cpaid\u201d to make sexual assault allegation YouTube: Graham Bensinger \/ YouTube: Justine ParadiseJake Paul, on the eve of his boxing rematch Tyron Woodley, has defended himself from sexual assault allegations leveled by former Team 10 member and TikToker Justine Paradise again, claiming she was \u201cpaid\u201d to make the claims back in April 2021. Days out from his fight against Ben Askren, Jake Paul was accused of sexual assault by former Team 10 member Justine Paradise. In an April 9 video, Paradise claimed she was assaulted in July 2019. According to her account of the events, the two were dancing together in his room before Paul tried to have sex with her without asking for her consent. Paul denied the claims at the time, saying it was \u201c100% false\u201d and \u201ca blatant attempt for attention during a highly visible fight week.\u201d He also claimed he would pursue legal action to make sure \u201cthey\u2019re held accountable for the things they\u2019re saying because they\u2019re not true.\u201d Just before his next fight, this time a rematch against Tyron Woodley, Paul has defended himself again, recounting to Graham Bensinger how the allegations affected him. \u201cWhen you get sued for some ridiculous thing, it\u2019s just awful. It\u2019s time-consuming, it takes a toll on your life, and it\u2019s very expensive. No matter what, you want to settle. You don\u2019t want to end up in court,\u201d he said, talking about the lawsuits filed against him. \u201cWe live in a society where someone can make a claim about an individual and it could ruin things in their life forever. I was like \u2018this is absurd, this is a lie.\u2019 It made me sick to my stomach and before you know it, people from the event [are like] \u2018this sponsor\u2019s pulling out, we might have to cancel the fight\u2019. \u201cI\u2019ve never laid a finger on a girl without their permission, and it\u2019s devastating to be accused of such a thing.\u201d Jake Paul added he believes someone paid Paradise to make the claims: \u201cI think someone paid her to do it. 100%. Something like that doesn\u2019t come out 6 days out from a massive fight.\u201d Lawsuits forced Paul to \u201cput the camera down\u201d on YouTube Since the allegations came to light, Jake Paul has pivoted almost entirely to focusing on his boxing career with the occasional YouTube video. The star said the sexual assault claims, and the lawsuits that followed, was \u201cpart of [his] decision\u201d to stop creating content. \u201cThey all came from YouTube and making content,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt all stems from filming videos and people being pissed off. It\u2019s pretty easy to identify the problem, and it\u2019s part of my decision to stop filming, to just put the camera down. It\u2019s just a vicious and never-ending cycle. \u201cI made it out of the situation with my brother in Japan where I lost all my money \u2014 made it out squeaky clean \u2014 just for one day to wake up and it felt like the cycle was repeating itself.\u201d Jake Paul concluded his tell-all by saying \u201cthere needs to be criminal punishment for this type of sh*t, for people who accuse people of things they didn\u2019t do.\u201d Paradise is yet to respond to Paul\u2019s latest claims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
