Jake Paul Addresses Partying Amid the Pandemic, Says He's Not 'Gonna Sit Around & Not Live My Life'

Jake Paul is going to continue partying amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

The 23-year-old YouTuber came under fire last month after he threw a massive party at his Calabasas, Calif. house, where there was no social distancing nor a mask in sight.

After news of his party started circulating, Calabasas Mayor Alicia Weintraub slammed Jake and the partygoers, saying she was “outraged” over the situation.

Now in a new interview, Jake is addressing the party, saying that he’s going to continue to “live my life.”

“I don’t know what to think of it, to be honest. I don’t think anyone really does,” Jake shared with Insider. “No one has answers, our leadership is failing us, and everyone kind of just doesn’t know what to do.”

He continued: “But I personally am not the type of person who’s gonna sit around and not live my life.”

A week later, Jake‘s ex Tana Mongeau attended another party filled with TikTok stars and YouTubers. She then issued an apology for partying during the pandemic, saying it was “careless and irresponsible.”

Mayor of Calabasas Alicia Weintraub told Fox 11 that she was “outraged” by the videos that went viral on social media of the party and its mask-free attendees.

“They’re having this large party, no social distancing, no masks, it’s just a big huge disregard for everything that everybody is trying to do to get things back to functioning. It’s really just a party acting like COVID does not exist, it’s acting that businesses aren’t closed.”

Jake Paul Denies Being Part of Looting or Vandalism Amid Protests

Jake Paul is making it clear that he was not looting.

The 23-year-old YouTuber, who is under fire online for being at a mall in Arizona while looting was taking place, penned a message on Sunday (May 31) denying that he was involved, and insisting he was part of the peaceful Black Lives Matter protesting amid the outcry over George Floyd‘s murder.

“To be clear, neither I nor anyone in our group was engaged in any looting or vandalism. For context, we spent the day doing our part to peacefully protest one of the most horrific injustices our country has ever seen, which led to us being tear-gassed for filming the events and brutality that were unfolding in Arizona,” he wrote.

“We were gassed and forced to keep moving on foot. We filmed everything we saw in an effort to share our experience and bring more attention to teh anger felt in every neighborhood we traveled through; we were strictly documenting, not engaged. I do not condone violence, looting, or breaking the law; however, I understand the anger and frustration that led to the destruction we witnessed and while that’s not the answer, it’s important that people see it and collectively figure out how to move forward in a healthy way. We are all doing the best we can to be helpful and raise awareness; this is not the time to attack each other, it’s time to join together and evolve.”
