The documentary touches on abuse accusations, with Logan downplaying them and using different language to describe their father’s behavior.
Greg Paul is also interviewed for the documentary and defends his parenting style, saying that strictness was necessary for his kids to become better individuals. Jake, on the other hand, admits that their father was tough on them and sometimes resorted to physical discipline, but he also credits him for fostering their creativity and drive.

It also delves into the scandals and controversies that both brothers have been associated with, including accusations of sexual assault against Jake, as well as his behavior causing trouble in the neighborhood, which led to Disney parting ways with him. Despite their differences and controversies, the Paul brothers’ respective experiences have brought them closer together.
“Untold: Jake Paul: The Problem Child” offers a glimpse into the turbulent and often controversial world of the Paul brothers, shedding light on their upbringing, family dynamics, and the complexities of their rise to fame in the digital age.
