Netflix’s documentary anthology series Untold returned on Tuesday, August 1, with an episode following Jake Paul’s rise to fame on YouTube and in the boxing world.
Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child included interviews with his brother, Logan Paul, and explored their complex relationship with their father.
“Our parents were really strict and mainly my dad — it was always Logan and I against him,” Jake said before Logan downplayed abuse accusations.
“Holy s—t. Yo, Greg Paul is a f—king being. He’s a menace. That guy’s intense,” Logan said. “Jake may throw around the word abusive. I prefer not quite legal.”
Greg was also interviewed for the doc. “You know, a lot of people go, ‘Oh, my God, you’re so strict with your kids.’ OK, give me your kid for two weeks. When your kid comes back, your kid’s gonna be a better kid,” he said.

“Yeah, my dad would slap the s—t out of me,” Jake claimed. “I don’t resent it. I’m understanding of why he did that — that’s all he knew.”
Greg then denied the claims. “I never laid hands on my kids. And I did tell him, I said, ‘Jake, I did pick you up and throw you on a couch couple times.’ [He said], ‘Well, I was afraid of you.’ I’m like, ‘That’s what the f—k dads are supposed to do,’” he said. “Somebody comes in here, they start harassing everybody and smacking around an old lady — do you want a couple Greg Pauls in the room or do you want some f—king fairy f—k, whiny little bitch who’s gonna sit there and talk about emotions? Who do you want the room?”
Despite the alleged abuse, Jake told the cameras: “Personally, I attribute pretty much all of my success to my father. He was so hard and so tough on us that my brother and I’s imaginations really started to flare up. So one day we get a camera and we just start filming our lives.”

As the numbers on both brothers’ YouTube channels increased, Jake booked his gig on Disney Channel’s Bizaardvark. The siblings continued to rise to fame and began feuding with each other on and offline.
“I think the way Greg raised us, combined with Jake living in my shadow for as long as he did, put a fire in his belly that is so hard to put out,” Logan said, insisting their issues weren’t made up for views.
Both Jake and Logan became associated with scandal, with Jake being accused of sexual assault (which he denied), terrorizing his neighbors and endless other antics — which led to Disney cutting ties with the influencer. Their respective controversies, however, brought the brothers closer.
“It was easy to pick me apart. It became a thing to hate Jake Paul,” Jake said. “It’s not easy to be hated by the whole entire world.”
When he was “two months away from being flat broke,” per his dad, Logan said their family feared for Jake’s life.
“Jake’s always been pretty emotionally unpredictable and volatile,” Logan said. “There was a point where we were both legitimately concerned that Jake was going to kill himself. He need purpose.”
Jake turned to boxing after “YouTuber brothers from the U.K.” — KSI and Deji — called out him and Logan to fight.
“What I learned in the entertainment industry directly correlates to boxing because boxing is show business. But first and foremost, it’s a show,” Jake said. “Turns out, we’re good at it.”
While Jake’s legitimacy in the sport has continued to be called into question, he found major success by teaming up with promoter Nakisa Bidarian.

“People don’t realize it’s a business first. It’s an entertainment first. And the better you are at marketing, the more entertaining, the more people are going to buy your fights. You know, that’s where The Problem Child came from,” he said. “I’ve always had that s—t talking nature. Growing up, all the uncles would be talking s—t to each other, yelling at each other, insulting each other. It’s just always been a part of me.”
Three years into his boxing career, Jake fought heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s half-brother, Tommy Fury, the first professional boxer he faced in the ring in February 2023.
“You know what the through line is here? Me, Jake, Greg Paul, John Fury, Tommy Fury, Tyson Fury — we’ve all got some screws loose, bro,” Logan said before the match.
Tommy won by split decision but earned Jake the praise of some of his critics, including Mike Tyson.
“He does hero s—t, but he just don’t go by heroes’ laws, you know?” Tyson said. “He did more for boxing than some of the champions did. Listen, I’m a fan of people that know how to put asses in seats. … He’s going to save boxing as long as he continues to fight.”
Netflix’s Untold returns later this month with episodes about Johnny Manziel, Victor Conte and the Florida Gators.

What We Can Learn Inside 50 Cent’s Explosive Diddy Documentary: 5 Reasons You Should Watch

50 Cent’s new Netflix docuseries about Sean “Diddy” Combs is more than a headline-grabbing exposé; it is a meticulous breakdown of how power, celebrity, and silence can collide in the entertainment industry.
Across its episodes, the series traces Diddy’s rise, the allegations that followed him for years, and the shocking footage and testimonies now forcing a wider cultural reckoning.

1. It Chronicles Diddy’s Rise and Fall – And How Power Warps Reality
The docuseries follows Combs from hitmaker and business icon to a figure facing serious criminal conviction and public disgrace, mapping out decades of influence, branding, and behind-the-scenes behavior. Watching that arc shows how money, fame, and industry relationships can shield someone from scrutiny and delay accountability, even as disturbing accusations accumulate.

2. Never-Before-Seen Footage Shows How Narratives Are Managed
Exclusive footage of Diddy in private settings and in the tense days around his legal troubles reveals how carefully celebrity narratives are shaped, even in crisis.
Viewers can learn to question polished statements and recognize that what looks spontaneous in public is often the result of strategy, damage control, and legal calculation.
3. Survivors’ Stories Highlight Patterns of Abuse and Silence
Interviews with alleged victims, former staff, and industry insiders describe patterns of control, fear, and emotional or physical harm that were long whispered about but rarely aired in this detail. Their stories underline how difficult it is to speak out against a powerful figure, teaching viewers why many survivors delay disclosure and why consistent patterns across multiple accounts matter.
4. 50 Cent’s Approach Shows Storytelling as a Tool for Accountability
As executive producer, 50 Cent uses his reputation and platform to push a project that leans into uncomfortable truths rather than protecting industry relationships. The series demonstrates how documentary storytelling can challenge established power structures, elevate marginalized voices, and pressure institutions to respond when traditional systems have failed.
5. The Cultural Backlash Reveals How Society Handles Celebrity Accountability
Reactions to the doc—ranging from people calling it necessary and brave to others dismissing it as a vendetta or smear campaign—expose how emotionally invested audiences can be in defending or condemning a famous figure. Watching that debate unfold helps viewers see how fandom, nostalgia, and bias influence who is believed, and why conversations about “cancel culture” often mask deeper questions about justice and who is considered too powerful to fall.

South Park’s Christmas Episode Delivers the Antichrist

A new Christmas-themed episode of South Park is scheduled to air with a central plot in which Satan is depicted as preparing for the birth of an Antichrist figure. The premise extends a season-long narrative arc that has involved Satan, Donald Trump, and apocalyptic rhetoric, positioning this holiday episode as a culmination of those storylines rather than a stand‑alone concept.
Episode premise and season context
According to published synopses and entertainment coverage, the episode frames the Antichrist as part of a fictional storyline that blends religious symbolism with commentary on politics, media, and cultural fear. This follows earlier Season 28 episodes that introduced ideas about Trump fathering an Antichrist child and tech billionaire Peter Thiel obsessing over prophecy and end‑times narratives. The Christmas setting is presented as a contrast to the darker themes, reflecting the series’ pattern of pairing holiday imagery with controversial subject matter.
Public and political reactions
Coverage notes that some figures connected to Donald Trump’s political orbit have criticized the season’s portrayal of Trump and his allies, describing the show as relying on shock tactics rather than substantive critique. Commentators highlight that these objections are directed more at the depiction of real political figures and the show’s tone than at the specific theology of the Antichrist storyline.
At the time of reporting, there have not been widely reported, detailed statements from major religious leaders focused solely on this Christmas episode, though religion-focused criticism of South Park in general has a long history.
Media and cultural commentary
Entertainment outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, Forbes, Slate, and USA Today describe the Antichrist arc as part of South Park’s ongoing use of Trump-era and tech-world politics as material for satire.
Viewer guidance and content advisory
South Park is rated TV‑MA and is intended for adult audiences due to strong language, explicit themes, and frequent use of religious and political satire. Viewers who are sensitive to depictions of Satan, the Antichrist, or parodies involving real political figures may find this episode particularly objectionable, while others may view it as consistent with the show’s long‑running approach to controversial topics. As with previous episodes, individual responses are likely to vary widely, and the episode is best understood as part of an ongoing satirical series rather than a factual or theological statement.

Sydney Sweeney Finally Confronts the Plastic Surgery Rumors

Sydney Sweeney has decided she is finished watching strangers on the internet treat her face like a forensic project. After years of side‑by‑side screenshots, “then vs now” TikToks, and long comment threads wondering what work she has supposedly had done, the actor is now addressing the plastic surgery rumors directly—and using them to say something larger about how women are looked at in Hollywood and online.

Growing Up on Camera vs. “Before and After” Culture
Sweeney points out that people are often mistaking normal changes for procedures: she grew up on camera, her roles now come with big‑budget glam teams, and her body has shifted as she has trained, aged, and worked nonstop. Yet every new red‑carpet photo gets folded into a narrative that assumes surgeons, not time, are responsible. Rather than walking through a checklist of what is “real,” she emphasizes how bizarre it is that internet detectives comb through pores, noses, and jawlines as if they are owed an explanation for every contour of a woman’s face.
The Real Problem Isn’t Her Face
By speaking up, Sweeney is redirecting the conversation away from her features and toward the culture that obsesses over them.
She argues that the real issue isn’t whether an actress has had work done, but why audiences feel so entitled to dissect her body as public property in the first place.
For her, the constant speculation is less about curiosity and more about control—another way to tell women what they should look like and punish them when they do not fit. In calling out that dynamic, Sweeney isn’t just defending herself; she is forcing fans and followers to ask why tearing apart someone else’s appearance has become such a popular form of entertainment.
