The TikTok star Justine Paradise, 24, says the YouTuber Jake Paul sexually assaulted her at his home in Los Angeles.

Paradise – who has more than 524,000 followers on TikTok – said she met Paul, who is also 24, in July 2019 at the Team 10 house in California, where he and several friends lived.

In a 20-minute YouTube video posted Friday, she said she went to the Team 10 house with friends several times after first being invited there in June 2019. She said she spent time with Paul and his friends while they recorded videos in his studio.

Her story focused on events she said happened in June and July of that year, during which she said she exchanged text messages with Paul.

Paradise said Paul acted awkwardly around her and would even text her when they were in the same room.

“I’m just assuming he always got what he wanted and never had to build social skills and talking to people, like girls just basically throw themselves at him,” she said. “He would go to his room with a different girl, multiple different girls every day.”

Insider has reached out to Paradise and Paul for comment.

She described one time at the Team 10 house in which she said Paul pulled her into a corner and began “making out” with her in front of his friends, which she said did not make her feel uncomfortable at first.

But she began feeling uncomfortable, she said, when Paul led her upstairs, “took it to his bed,” and got on top of her.

She quoted Paul as saying, “If nothing is going to happen, what’s the point?”

“Sex is very special and very important to me,” Paradise said.

“Normally, everybody respects me when I don’t want to do sexual things, so I thought that it was fine if I went in his room,” she added. “I thought it would be fine to kiss him, because I thought he would stop if I didn’t want to do anything else.”

She said Paul grabbed her face and forced her to perform oral sex and continued to touch her in “places” despite her saying no multiple times.

“I couldn’t tell him to stop,” she said. “He just shoved himself in me, he didn’t ask for consent or anything. That’s not OK. On no level at all is that OK.”

Paradise said that Paul then did a “180” and became cold after the incident and that he’d never apologized to her.

While discussing the timing of when she came out with her story, she said she wasn’t sure whether she was even allowed to talk about it after she signed a nondisclosure agreement – which she said was required of all guests who enter Paul’s home.

“I thought that if you sign an NDA, you’re signing away your rights to talk about anything basically,” she said.

She added that she came forward publicly in the hope that Paul would realize he “needs to ask people for consent,” adding that she had “thought about this literally every single day since it happened.”

“The more and more I think about it, the more I realize, no one can be doing that and think that it’s something right to do,” Paradise said.

Paul has been active on social media this week, as he is promoting his coming UFC fight against the former MMA world champion Ben Askren. He has not addressed the allegations.
