"F*** the Pauls" - Written by...

Pam Stepnick

We are in the era of the Pauls. Love them or hate them, you can't ignore them. Welcome to our Universe. 
I’ve never personally said the words “F*** the Pauls”... but plenty of people have. My sons have spun this mantra into multimillion dollar empires. To me, it captures the wild and often chaotic era we live in, and how my sons turned some of their biggest losses into their most legendary wins. 
Before they were stepping into boxing rings, wrestling in the WWE, and breaking the internet with viral stunts, Jake and Logan Paul were just two kids from Ohio with big dreams and a camcorder. As their mother, I’ve seen it all—the highs, the heartbreaks, the headlines, and the hate. Faith in God, unshakable positivity, and a whole lot of resilience haven’t just helped me hold on to hope for my family, they’ve kept me sane in a digital era which is a dangerous place. 
This is the story of what really happens when your kids become famous overnight, when the internet turns against you, and when you have to hold on for dear life as your kids build empires, battle legends, and redefine entertainment as we know it. 
Part memoir, part cautionary tale, “F*** the Pauls” is an unfiltered look at our journey—the struggles, the triumphs, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. So buckle up, because life in the Paul household is anything but boring.
