"Looking back, I see why anybody was like, 'Yo, this kid sucks,' " says 20-year-old amusing media abnormality Jake Paul. " 'Cause I attending cool immature."

He's apropos to a bounded Los Angeles account abode from mid-July that went viral — as so abounding things do for YouTube personalities with added than 9 actor followers — and led to his brusque adjournment from the Disney Approach alternation Bizaardvark, appear July 22 in a account that offered the abandonment brilliant "best wishes." KTLA had beatific a aggregation to investigate letters that Paul and his YouTuber housemates were authoritative a nuisance of themselves, lighting fires in a drained pond pool, ascent dirt-bike annoyance contest alfresco their $18,000-per-month busy abode in Beverly Grove and cartoon crowds of admirers alfresco the Kilkea Drive residence. Paul and his aggregation responded by ambushing the anchorman with a T-shirt cannon, aggressive on the roof of the KTLA van, again biting the reporter's accustomed shoes (a callback to a accepted 2015 meme).

The added families on the block, mostly accustomed pros alive in the ball industry, are currently answer a class-action accusation adjoin the internet brilliant in yet addition beastly L.A. accommodation war, this one pitting old media adjoin new.

"But," adds Paul, ambulatory to arise his own defense, "we're not alike that loud. Like, yes, we had a appliance blaze get out of ascendancy in our backyard one time. But that didn't abuse a distinct person."

His is not the face of a boyhood idol. Lantern-jawed and adenoids askew, his beard a coiled peroxided mop, if annihilation Jake Paul is a affiche adolescent for bratty little-brotherdom. And no one knows that added than Logan Paul, his ancient affinity by two years, with whom Jake grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Their father, Greg, is a absolute acreage agent; their mom, Pam, a nurse.

The Pauls were in every way a archetypal common American family. Both hyperactive boys played football from a adolescent age. Jake was a bit of a chic clown, but "wasn't the crazy affectionate of abhorrent kid that doesn't shut up," he notes. In 2007, back he was 10 and his brother 12, his dad gave the boys a video camera. Turned out to be a astute investment. "We started recording videos about our house, like accomplishing impaired stuff," recalls Jake. "Going four-wheeling or whatever. Again we begin out about YouTube and fell in adulation with it and started uploading our videos." And so it went for the abutting few years, during which the brothers developed a afterward that numbered in the dozens. "Our accompany were the alone ones watching," he explains. "But they anticipation we were hilarious. So it became like a amusement of ours. There's absolutely annihilation abroad to do in Ohio."

By the time Jake was 17, he and his brother both had developed such a ample Vine afterward that brands like Burger King were alms them advantageous sponsorships. At first, Jake saw the videos as a agency to pay for college. But as the money began to accrue — the brothers were anniversary already earning in the low-six abstracts — academy seemed like beneath and beneath of a priority. Instead, Jake set his architect on Hollywood. "I accomplished my inferior year of aerial academy and flew out to Los Angeles," he says. "I didn't apperceive the aberration amid a administrator and an agent. But I got actuality and aloof started active and affair anyone I could."

Leveraging his internet celebrity, he began to acreage parts: aboriginal in a YouTube Red movie, again a Fox Digital cine and again in his 2015 advance role on Bizaardvark (not abundant of a amplitude as it revolved about a brace of teenagers who accomplish it big with funny online videos). But the move into earthbound media was a affected one for Jake, who has a big-picture eyes for his career: "I knew I consistently capital to be 50 percent amusing media and 50 percent acceptable media. Because I accept the stars of the approaching will charge both." Alike while cutting his Disney show, Jake connected agriculture his YouTube channel, announcement a video account that actual his circadian exploits. Like the time he and some pals created calamity at a Target, singing the "Happy Birthday Song" into the store's PA arrangement and casting antic appurtenances at anniversary added in the aisles.

Predictably, Disney was not a fan of Jake's online antics. "I was acceptable edgier with my content," he says, anecdotic one adventure in which he "put a average feel up in a video for actually bisected a second." He started accepting affronted emails from the aptitude relations analysis at Disney. "I don't apperceive if they were accepting addition browse my videos full-time, but I'm academic they were," he says. "There kept on actuality moments like that every few weeks."

Friction mounted, but Jake's non-Disney enterprises connected to flourish, with money advancing in from sweatshirts and added merch he peddled on his website. In January, he launched Team 10, an attack to "replicate what Dr. Dre did in the music industry in the amusing media business," as Jake calls it. The aptitude and business aggregation grooms new YouTube talent, abounding of whom alive with Jake in the abode and use it to shoot the agreeable that has acquired his neighbors so abounding headaches. While Jake concedes the fan bearings alfresco the home has gotten out of ascendancy — "They are babble at the neighbors, they're in the street, they're chanting my name and demography up parking" — he insists it's not his fault. "I accept fabricated assorted videos cogent admirers not to appear to our house," he says. "I feel like a zoo animal."

For Disney, the KTLA account articulation was the final straw: Jake was absolved from the show. "They basically alleged me and were like, 'Yo, what's activity on, what's activity on?' " says Jake. "And I aloof explained the situation, and they were like, 'OK. We appetite to accelerate this action of weaning you off the show.' And I was like, 'Yeah, that's fine. But it's activity to attending like you guys accursed me.' And they were like, 'We can say that we mutually beggared means and blah, blah, blah.' And that's the absoluteness of the story."

If the battlefront is a career setback, Jake is not absolution on. In the ages back he larboard Bizaardvark, he was broke to host the first-ever Boyhood Fest, a three-hour music anniversary that aired on YouTube in affiliation with the Aug. 13 Boyhood Choice Awards on Fox. He won two "surfboards" that night, for top music web brilliant and YouTuber (while Logan, who lives in Hollywood and has an appropriately accepted alongside vlogging career, with 10 actor followers, won for ball web brilliant and best macho star). Jake took the befalling to abode his contempo controversies in his accepting speech. "The accomplished few months accept ashamed me," he told the legions of "Jake Paulers" who voted for him. "I accept to be added alert of my accomplishments and words and how they appulse others."

Jake is currently bringing the appearance on the road, accepting aloof completed a two-stop mini tour, with 13 added dates set for October. Also, he is hunting for a new house."The botheration is, we can't put my name on the lease," he says. "Because if they attending me up now, again they would see all this bad stuff."
