Logan Paul didn’t hold back during his FOX Business appearance, dropping a few eyebrow-raising remarks while reflecting on his childhood, athletic background, and intense work ethic. But it was his reference to his father, Greg Paul, that really turned heads.

The WWE Superstar and social media mogul was discussing how he and his brother Jake built their careers with relentless drive—something he directly attributes to their upbringing.

“Well, A, we were real athletes first,” Logan said. “And when I tell you our work ethic is second to none, I really mean that.”

That’s when he threw in a line that might’ve been meant as a joke, but definitely raised some eyebrows.

“Our dad’s a psychopath. And we have that in us,” he admitted, before adding, “Sometimes, my wife is like, ‘Your Greg Paul is showing.’ And I’m like, all right.”

The moment got laughs from the panel, but viewers familiar with Greg Paul’s controversial history—including past online drama and allegations—might not find it quite as funny. The elder Paul has faced serious public scrutiny in the past, and for some fans, the mention was an uncomfortable reminder of those unresolved chapters.

Logan, who’s worked hard to reinvent his public persona since his own controversies years ago, may have just pulled the curtain back a little too far in this interview. While the comment seemed harmless in the moment, it once again connected the Paul family name to complicated baggage—something Logan’s been trying to distance himself from as he focuses on WWE and business ventures like Prime Hydration.

Was Logan Paul just being real—or did he go too far by laughing off something fans haven’t forgotten?
