CLEVELAND, OHIO: Jake Paul has come forward to defend his brother, Logan Paul, and Nina Agdal against the relentless online harassment they've been facing from former UFC fighter Dillon Danis.
The longstanding feud between the Paul brothers and Danis traces back to Jake's initial attempts to challenge Conor McGregor to a boxing match a few years ago.
It has recently escalated as the MMA fighter is gearing up for a highly anticipated fight with Logan on October 14 and has resorted to deeply personal attacks, with a particular focus on the latter's fiancee, Nina Agdal.
Apart from sharing past photos of her, he even manipulated images of Agdal with other men, leading to a lawsuit filed by her seeking a restraining order and damages amounting to $150,000 from Danis.
Now, Jake Paul has chosen to intervene in the situation, standing up for his family as he characterized Danis' actions as "hurtful."
Jake Paul steps up to defend Nina Agdal amid feud ongoing with Dillon Danis
In a recent episode of the 'IMPAULSIVE' podcast, Jake Paul joined his brother Logan Paul to address their ongoing feud involving Dillon Danis. The Paul brothers tackled the contentious issue head-on, shedding light on their perspective and expressing their support for Nina Agdal in the face of online harassment.
Jake didn't mince words as he criticized Danis for targeting Agdal with hurtful comments and actions. He highlighted that when the MMA fighter tweets about anything other than her, it garners little attention and engagement.
He even argued that Danis' strategy primarily revolves around exploiting Nina Agdal, which he believes resonates with certain individuals who harbor resentment and insecurity.
Jake stated, "When he tweets about anything other than Nina, no one cares, it doesn’t get good engagement."
"Yeah, he makes jokes, but it’s largely in part that he’s exploiting Nina and there are so many hurt males out there that can’t get girls and they’re the ones that are like ‘yeah, f**k girls, f**k women, I love what Dillon is doing’ and they know they won’t ever get a hot girl," added 'The Problem Child'.
He also expressed, "Now they’re finding a way out to unleash their hate through this super hateful, insecure male who is clearly, clearly a very hurt person."
Jake also downplayed the significance of the 2 billion views that the former UFC fighter had gotten on his Twitter account over the last few weeks, noting that unless he was going after Agdal, it didn't get much traction.
Jake Paul says brotherly feud with Logan Paul isn't a marketing stunt
Jake Paul recently came forward in his podcast to dispel rumors that the ongoing conflict between himself and his brother, Logan Paul, is merely a marketing ploy to hype up a potential boxing match, contrary to what some on the Internet have speculated.
The Paul brothers have a history of engaging in intense public disagreements, from heated face-to-face arguments to releasing diss tracks targeting each other, and have previously made headlines by commandeering YouTube Rewind to showcase their ongoing feud.
Despite the past confrontations, they have consistently circled back and offered support to each other, blurring the lines between real animosity and promotional tactics.
Jake, in response to those who suggested that their feud was a staged event, made light of the situation by joking that he was "crying" over people making plans based on the assumption of a real fight.
However, he went on to clarify that while it may be great marketing to create the illusion of a dispute, the ongoing conflict with his brother was not simply a gimmick for promotional purposes.
