Celebs That Can't Stand Jake Paul

Ohio-born internet star Jake Paul had his first taste of fame on Vine, the now-defunct six-second video sharing platform. When Vine was shut down by parent company Twitter in 2016, all the big Viners that hadn't already jumped ship started to focus on YouTube instead. Paul did the same, though in truth, he didn't really need to worry about his future too much because he'd already landed a part in Bizaardvark. The blond vlogger played Dirk on the Disney Channel show while growing his own brand on YouTube in his spare time. Unfortunately for Paul, that brand didn't exactly align with Disney's family friendly values.

In 2017, the influencer-turned-actor not only managed to anger his West Hollywood neighbors to the point where they threatened a class action lawsuit, he was also at the center of a racism controversy and lost thousands of followers after making allegedly false assault allegations against a fellow YouTuber. The Mouse House cut Paul loose (He initially claimed it was mutual but later admitted he'd been fired), bringing his almost two-year stint on Bizaardvark to an end. Given his track record it's not surprising he's managed to amass a long list of haters. Not only have some fans turned against him after seeing his shady side, but his peers seem to have had enough, too. From fellow YouTubers to professional sportsmen, pop stars, and even Hollywood A-listers, here are some celebs who simply can't stand Jake Paul.

On screen, he always comes off as the guy everyone wants to be friends with, but real-life Seth Rogen isn't always chummy — at least, not if you get on the wrong side of him. The Canadian funnyman has been drawn into a few public spats in his time, most notably with "obnoxious" pop star and fellow Canuck Justin Bieber (via MTV). Rogen also had beef with his Knocked Up co-star, Katherine Heigl, who criticized the comedy for being "a little sexist" in its portrayal of her character. He's made amends with both Bieber and Heigl since, but he's never taken back his comments about Jake Paul.

When Paul and Disney went their separate ways, the vlogger released a statement regarding his future plans via Twitter. "At this point in time I am wanting to focus more on my personal brand, my YouTube channel, business ventures, growing Team 10 and working on more adult acting roles," Paul said. Rogen's response? "I personally pledge to not contribute to him getting those adult acting roles," he tweeted.

Seth Rogen's tweet about keeping Jake Paul away from mature acting roles wasn't the only time he mentioned and/or mocked the YouTuber via social media. The award-winning actor and director was clearly irritated by Paul's continued existence on Aug. 8, 2017, because he fired off several tweets about him that day. "Jake Paul is big among the Alt-right, which adds up," Rogen said, causing a fiery debate among his followers.

Around an hour later, Rogen was at it again. In that short space of time he had been made aware of Paul's music, and after watching some of his raps, the actor just couldn't help but land another punch. "Jake Paul apology raps are my new favorite genre of music," Rogen (a known lover of hip hop) said in yet another sarcastic tweet. This drew Nurse Jackie actor Lenny Jacobson into the debate, and he too found Paul's output to be super-cringey. "The 'apology video while listing all the good things he's done' is absolutely my favorite," Jacobson tweeted.

Chris Brown clearly didn't watch the Logan Paul and KSI fight, but one person who apparently did was Dez Bryant. In what became a comedy of errors, the veteran wide receiver accidentally messaged Jake Paul thinking he was his older brother. He wanted to congratulate Logan Paul for grinding out a draw on foreign soil, but Jake took the mix-up as a sign of disrespect. Instead of simply passing his congrats along to Logan, Jake dissed Bryant's status as a free agent and then pasted the conversation online for all to see.

Needless to say, Bryant wasn't pleased. The seasoned football star hit back on Twitter, telling Paul he would face him in the ring anytime. "Idk why the dude got salty," Bryant said (via CBS Sports). "I thought I was following [his] brother to tell him congratulations on the fight and I realized it wasn't him... I guess he called himself trying to clown... We can get in the boxing ring tho if he want smoke."

Jake obviously didn't fancy his chances squaring off against Bryant, because he didn't take him up on the offer. Sadly, the prospect of these two throwing down is slim to none at this point. Bryant was picked up by the New Orleans Saints but suffered a season-ending injury in practice.

To hype up the release of her track with RiceGum, Alissa Violet released an 18-minute YouTube video dubbed "What you've been waiting for" to let fans know why she was so angry with her former flame. In the clip, which has garnered more than 23 million views, Violet says that after she and Paul first exchanged numbers at a meet-and-greet in Ohio, he suggested she move to Los Angeles to live with him and pursue her dreams of modeling. She did just that in 2015.

"I don't know exactly what we were, but I was head over heels," Violet says. "That's why I signed a contract for 20 percent of my life for five years." The problem was, despite sharing a bedroom, Paul reportedly kept bringing other girls over. "I'd be in our room editing and he'd be like, 'Yo, can you leave for a little bit, I'm having a girl over," she says. "He would do that all the time." When Violet eventually had enough and did the same, she claims Paul kicked her out, leaving her homeless and forcing their mutual friends to pick sides. According to the young starlet, most supported Paul because they had contracts with him and, to add fuel to the fire, he allegedly spread lies about her cheating. 

Before Jake Paul began what will likely be a short-lived boxing career, he was interested in mixed martial arts. At one stage, he even had plans for an MMA tournament featuring some of the biggest names on the internet. "I wanna do an influencer MMA tournament," he tweeted in June 2017. "Retweet if ur down." Paul's post drew the attention of fellow Vine alum King Bach (the most followed African American entertainer on social media after Kevin Hart, according to Forbes), who seemed shocked at the idea. Jacobo Wong said he was down, and so did Lewis Howes (so long as they changed the event to ping pong or basketball), but one influencer who wasn't amused by the idea was Taylor Caniff.

Caniff is another former Viner who made a name for himself as a member of MAGCON, the convention that helped launch the career of Shawn Mendes. Paul also toured with MAGCON back in the day, though that didn't stop him from poking fun at the meet-and-greet event in his diss track, "It's Everyday Bro." That cheap shot clearly rubbed Caniff the wrong way, because he decided to call Paul out on it. Replying to Paul's MMA tweet, Caniff said: "You realise you made a music video at my business house beside my cars and dissed MAGCON, a platform that got you started? Earn your own crib."
