Disney Channel star and social media
icon Jake Paul has been terrorizing his
West Hollywood neighborhood, throwing the
tight-knit family community into chaos.
Welcome back to What's Trending, I'm Adam Bozarth. Jake Paul's YouTube antics are
beginning to frighten his neighbors.
Recently, Paul and his crew set fire to
wreck furniture in Paul's backyard.
Neighbors told KTLA the flames burned
all night, sometimes reaching above the
house. Great. That's really funny.
You know they treat furniture with
hazardous chemicals to make sure that
they don't set on fire in the first place?
So, who gets to breathe in all of Jake
Paul's furniture fumes? Families... with
children. "We used to be a really nice
quiet street, and now we're just like this war zone. We're families here, and
we're more than happy to have them live
here if they're respectful of their
neighbors, but they're not." And it's not
just the pranks, Paul doesn't keep his
address a secret. KTLA visited Jake
Paul's neighborhood and found the street
crowded with fans and their parents.
Sounds like a great idea, parents. Jake
Paul even emerged from his content cave
when he found out KTLA was outside. "Jake.
I wouldn't crawl up there..." "Why?" And what does
Jake Paul think of his neighbors living
in fear that their house may burn down
in a YouTube prank? "I honestly...
No. I'm honestly... Yeah, it's terrible.
It's a bad situation. No, I feel bad for
them for sure. Um, there's nothing we
could do though. The "Jake Paul-ers" are the
strongest army out there. Dab." Well, at least you can tell he feels bad about it. KTLA
was about to leave when Paul had another
prank up his sleeve. A Vine reference...
from two years ago. "I have one question
for you. Yeah? What are those?"
"I guess he didn't like my shoes, but I
don't think they're so bad."
The neighbors, however, are threatening
legal action. According to the Daily Mail,
"Neighbors are even considering banding
together to file a class-action public
nuisance lawsuit against Paul and the
homeowner. They say not only is Paul
annoying but dangerous." Wait... and the
homeowner? Does Jake Paul not own the
house? Does he rent the house? That
security deposit is long gone.
Social media had a lot to say about the
Internet's worst neighbor. Cody Ko
tweets, "Could you imagine working your whole
life to afford a nice house in West
Hollywood and then living next to Jake
Paul?" Dave Jorgenson replies, "I thought
"living hell" was an exaggeration, and then
I watched the local news video." Chynaa
Alexis asks, "I don't understand how
Disney is putting up with everything
Jake call has done recently?" So, what does
Jake Paul think of the Internet backlash
against his news appearance? Buckle up.
"Crazy how many people care about me
being a "bad" neighbor. Bigger fish to fry...
Innocent people are getting shot every
day. You should worry about that." That's
how he wrote it! So, what do you think of
