Jake Paul has responded to the allegations by Justine Paradise on Tuesday with a post on Twitter. The famous Youtuber has been accused of forcing TikTok star Justine Paradise to perform oral sex on him at his home in California in 2019.
“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 per cent false,” Paul wrote on his Twitter.
“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. Make no mistake, I plan on pursuing this defamation of character case to the fullest extent of the law.
“There are irreparable damages from these types of accusations, and more importantly, false allegations of this nature diminish those who have truly been victims of misconduct.” he added.
Paul has become one of the sensations of international boxing, especially after knocking out former NBA player Nate Robinson last November. In turn, he waits for the fight he will have next Saturday, April 17, against former UFC fighter, Ben Askren.
The 24-year-old American is also the brother of Logan Paul, another well-known Youtuber and boxer, who is in negotiations to fight former world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.
“I will fight this to the end to prove my innocence. This isn’t the first preposterous allegation made against me in my career and it most likely won’t be the last.” Paul wrote.
“As someone who has lived in the spotlight since the age of 16, dealing with liars, fake news, and false accusations unfortunately is a part of this job. I won’t back down from it and years from now my character as individual will show and shine through these dark moments.” Paul added.
