Jake and Logan Paul, widely recognized for their social media stardom and controversial personas, are peeling back the curtain on their tumultuous upbringing in their docuseries Paul American. The brothers are candidly discussing their relationship with their father, Greg Paul, and the alleged physical abuse and trauma they experienced as kids. This episode dives into the complexities of their family dynamics, igniting conversations about parenting, discipline, and childhood resilience.
The brothers, born to Greg Paul and Pam Stepnick, experienced their parents’ divorce before they turned ten. Despite the challenges of their upbringing, both have risen to fame, amassing millions of followers online. But the scars from their childhood have lingered, as evidenced by their reflections in the series. Jake, 28, describes his relationship with his father as one rife with trauma and stubborn clashes, while Logan, 30, adds nuance to their narrative by refraining from labeling their father’s actions as abusive.
Jake Paul’s fiancé leaves him speechless with unusual dance moves
Greg Paul, who appears in the docuseries, denies claims of abuse but acknowledges his tough-love approach to parenting. He describes his methods as firm but not driven by anger, differentiating discipline from rage. The debate over terminology is central to the episode, as Jake calls their father’s behavior abusive, while Logan opts for terms like “intense” and “not quite legal.” The brothers’ differing perspectives underscore the personal and emotional complexities of defining and processing their past.
A complicated relationship when they were boys
These revelations aren’t new. Jake has previously shared similar claims in Netflix’s Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child, where he alleged that his father would slap him and was the stricter parent in the household. Logan echoed these sentiments but chose less charged language to characterize their father’s parenting. The Netflix series further highlighted Greg’s response to these claims, as he denied laying a hand on his sons, though he admitted to moments of physicality, such as throwing them onto couches.
While the Paul brothers have built careers on shock value and sensationalism, their candidness in this docuseries offers a raw glimpse into their personal struggles. Their journey of reflection speaks to the lasting impact of childhood experiences and the effort required to reconcile with a complicated past. Greg Paul’s denial of abuse and insistence on his approach being typical parental behavior adds another layer of complexity to the narrative.
As Jake and Logan Paul continue to share their story with the world, their candid revelations spark broader conversations about the challenges of navigating family relationships and healing from trauma. Their openness sheds light on the resilience necessary to face difficult truths and move forward, whether that means forgiveness or finding peace with their experiences.

While group celebrations and the use of the ball as a prop are now allowed, anything portraying violence or taunting is still subject to a potential penalty or fine."For the fans, I think it's the excessive celebration," Jordan said at Fanatics Fest.

Following his win at the 2025 Travelers Championship, Keegan Bradley made a surprising admission that he "finds peace" inside the ropes amid his U.S. Ryder Cup captaincy. Every waking moment of his professional and personal lives these days is engulfed by every aspect of his captaincy -- shuttle schedules, food menus, playing combinations and which players he should ultimately select with his six captain's picks in three months' time at Bethpage Black.It has taken over Bradley's day-to-day. Ironically, the one place where he feels he can escape is not at home or spending time with family but smack dab in the center of the arena, where one might least expect a jittery New Englander to find peace. Everyone knows that the 39-year-old eats, breathes and sleeps the Ryder Cup. He has yet to unpack his suitcase from the 2014 edition […]
