Social media star, Jake Paul is finally taking a ‘leave’ from Disney Channel.
Paul starred on the show Bizardvark for two consecutive season’s, a show about teen’s becoming popular on the internet by posting funny videos. He played character Dirk Mann, a fellow Vuuugle vlogger opposite the main characters Paige and Frankie.
“We’ve mutually agreed that Jake Paul will leave his role,” Disney Channel told US in an official statement. “On behalf of the production company, the cast and crew, we thank Jake for his good work on the TV series for the past 18 months and extend our best wishes to him”
The ex-vine star shared his response regarding the situation via screenshot, Paul claims that the split happened because he is aiming for more mature roles in his career.
“Being on set with Disney was a full-time job – plus I was doing everything on top of that. I made it look like it was easy to vlog, but you would only see a part of that. I wasn’t sleeping, it was unhealthy. Because of that, it caused problems for me it caused problems for Disney because I would always be like, ‘Can I please have more time off?’ and it was hard of them to work around me.” He said, “Personally I feel like I’ve gotten so much older in the last two years, and my brand is evolving,” he continued.“I want to pay more adult roles in acting in that sense. It wasn’t always fun to be playing the kid role all the time. It’s funny, yes, but I didn’t think two years from now, which potentially is how long I could’ve stayed with Disney, that that’s what I want to be doing at 22 years old, playing a 16-year-old.”
This sudden detachment from the Disney brand comes immediate following several complaints resulted from Paul’s carelessness within his neighborhood.
The young star shared his address on social media, which instantly became a nightmare as it attracted crowds of screaming fans, whom of which Paul reportedly let light a bonfire in his empty pool.
When confronted by a news reporter for an interview about his disruptive behavior, he was asked if he was planning on apologizing to his neighbors, Paul proceeded to climb up onto the news truck and told the reporter that ‘There was nothing anybody could do to stop him.’ He then shouted “What are those” at the anchor’s shoes right before running back to his rental unit.
A bit fishy right? Its obvious that Disney dropped the star like a hot cake after he began to start trouble for others, its in the Disney brand to not let the image be spoiled.
Why not just admit it instead of acting like the split was mutual?
