YouTuber Jake Paul has found himself at the center of another controversy just weeks after facing criminal charges of illegal trespassing and illegal reunion.
He faces a backlash after throwing a day party at his home in Calabasas, California on July 11. According to Insider, she seemed to be following a six-location shoot for an upcoming music video.
It didn’t take long for photos and videos of large groups of unmasked guests to gather in and out of Paul’s mansion on social media.
Many of the guests, who were shown drinking, dancing, and swinging from heavy machinery parked outside Paul’s house, were easily identifiable stars on social media, such as Tana Mongeau, Bryce Hall, and Arman Izadi.
Concerned neighbors sent some of the images to the Calabasas mayor’s office, according to Fox 11.

“They are having this great party, without social distancing, without masks, it is just a great disregard for everything that everyone is trying to do to make things work again,” said Alicia Weintraub, Mayor of Calabasas.
She said the guests were “acting like COVID doesn’t exist.”
It certainly exists: On July 13, Governor Gavin Newsom ordered the closure of all indoor bars, restaurants, movie theaters, and “family entertainment” establishments.
In response to this incident, Weintraub told Insider that he would crack down on events like this.
“The city of Calabasas will impose a zero tolerance [policy] for large gatherings that defy local public health orders, “he said.” I am committed to keeping our community safe and we are working with the Lost Hills Sheriff Station to ensure compliance. “
