In October 2018, Jake Paul and Alissa Violet spoke with YouTuber Shane Dawson separately. In Alissa’s video, she shared a harrowing account of emotional abuse (as well as a few instances where things seemingly took a physical turn).
“I wasn’t getting abused every night when he came home from work. It wasn’t, like, physical abuse,” she said. “There was some things, like if we filmed a video and he had to push me into a bush, normally you would just act like you pushed harder — but he would actually shove me. He would just do it way too hard.”
Alissa also recalled, “One time, we got into a fight, he broke my brand new phone. I took his phone to try to break it, ran up the stairs. He dragged me down the steps. He’s not a physical abuser, but mentally and emotionally? 100%.”
Additionally, Alissa admitted to hooking up with Jake’s brother Logan Paul, who may be the someone “very close” to him he previously referenced on Twitter. Per Alissa’s account, Jake didn’t bring her on a ski trip because he wanted to hook up with other women, so she was angry and reached out to Logan. That’s when things went down.
Per Mashable, Jake responded to Alissa’s video with his own, saying, “She can go on … and say whatever she wants, because that’s only fair.”
