Team 10, the social influencer team of Jake Paul, a 22-year-old vlogger with 19 million YouTube subscribers, has been accused of transphobia after allegedly rejecting two trans women from entering their home.
Lilah Gibney, a trans female blogger, claims that she and her best friend, Kendall Raindrop, had gone to Paul’s Team 10 house, a $7.3 million home with eight bedrooms and roughly 11 bathrooms where Paul and his cohorts plan new videos.
The two women took an Uber to the Team 10 house to attend a crowded afterparty late one night after being invited. After arriving, Gibney says, “One of the f*cking editors, his name is Blaine [O’Roark]… he came up to us two and our friend who was [cis female]” and suggested that they go elsewhere even though they’d just recently arrived.
Gibney says when their friend asked why they should leave, Blaine reportedly said, “I thought you guys were going to come with real girls.”
At this point in the video, it cuts to video footage of O’Roark ejecting the young women, recorded by Raindrop. The Daily Dot describes the interaction between them:
Back to Gibney’s video commentary on the incident, she clarifies that she likes Jake Paul and finds him kind and sweet and honorable, but adds, “What we just experienced needs to be talked about because it’s something that trans people face literally every day.”
She called the ejection “embarrassing and degrading and disgusting and frustrating.”
Here is Gibney’s video about the incident:
Jake Paul is the brother of Logan Paul, the YouTuber infamous for acting like an overprivileged d-bag around Japan before showing a dead man hanging from a tree.
