Controversial YouTuber Jake Paul has denied allegations of assaulting a TikTok star back in 2019 and called the allegations’ ‘100 percent false’.
In a video, Justine Paradise accused Jake Paul and said that the YouTuber-turned-boxer forced him on her and also touched her without consent.
She said that the two of them met several times from June 2019, with them meeting up at Paul’s California home. According to Paradise, the alleged assault took place in July of that year.
She said that Paul, took her to his room before he assaulted her, despite her telling him “no”. “He did not ask for consent or anything,”
Paradise alleged. “That’s not okay. On no level at all is that okay.” She added that she would have come forward sooner, but had signed a non-disclosure agreement when she entered his house and thought it would have breached the contract.
Responding on social media, Paul said the allegations are “100% false”, and suggested the timing of the allegations was designed to draw attention from his upcoming boxing match against former UFC fighter Ben Askren.
“Sexual assault accusations aren’t something that I, or anyone should ever take lightly, but to be crystal clear, this claim made against me is 100% false,” he said.
“Not only have I never had any sexual relationship with this individual, but this claim is solely a manufactured accusation and a blatant attempt for attention during a highly visible fight week.”
Paul, who has more than 20 million YouTube subscribers, said he plans to sue Paradise over the allegations, claiming she is guilty of defamation.
