He added,

“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.”

Jake said that he and his group were gassed and they were strictly documenting every neighborhood they traveled through. He added that he does not condone any kind of violence, looting, or breaking the law.

More on the looting story

The Scottsdale Fashion Square located near Scottsdale, Arizona Waterfront area was in chaos as there was damage caused to businesses and restaurants including an Apple Store and P.F. Chang’s.

Now deleted post of Jake Paul and his videographer Andrew Blue was of the inside of the mall during the ongoing situation.

In the deleted post of Blue, Jake and a group of his friends were walking around the property. As per Forbes, he did worse than stealing televisions and other property,

“He stole attention away from the real story of these protests – America’s historic and systemic racial injustice. By exploiting his attention as a social media star, he stole attention away from the actual protestors and their personal narratives of anger and hurt.”

Jake has denied all the accusations made against him. Many people questioned the accusation of why a millionaire was participating in looting.

People backlashed him for looting the mall instead of helping in the protest as many people were getting injured in the protest.

A petition has also started for the arrest of Jake Paul and another fellow YouTuber Tanner Fox who was present at the mall. As of 30th May 2020, there were more than 2000 signatures on the petition.
