Pam Stepnick, the mother of Logan Paul and Jake Paul, is stepping into the spotlight on her own terms.
According to Parade, Stepnick has announced the upcoming release of her debut memoir and parenting guide, F*ck the Pauls, a bluntly titled book that promises an unfiltered look at what it’s really like to raise two of the internet’s most recognizable — and controversial — figures.
Set to be published on January 27, 2026, the book is currently available for pre-sale. The memoir chronicles Stepnick’s experience navigating her family through viral fame, lawsuits, media firestorms, and the intense scrutiny that followed her sons’ rise from small-town Ohio teens to global digital celebrities.
Stepnick describes her story as part cautionary tale, part survival manual for parents raising kids in the social media era. As Logan and Jake became early stars on Vine and YouTube, she found herself dealing with realities she never anticipated — including federal agents at her door, ongoing legal battles, and constant threats — all while trying to keep her family grounded.
“Our family’s story is unique, but it carries lessons that are deeply universal,” Stepnick said in a statement announcing the book. “When my children became some of the world’s first influencers, I was unexpectedly thrust into the role of the original ‘mom of influencers.’ I felt a responsibility to share a mother’s perspective — the unseen challenges of sudden fame and how I worked to guide my family through everything that came with it.”
The memoir traces the family’s journey through public controversies, relentless online criticism, and a difficult divorce, while also touching on the surreal perks and pressures of influencer fame — from red carpets and private jets to nonstop backlash and reputational fallout. Throughout, Stepnick emphasizes resilience, faith, and adaptability in a landscape that offered no roadmap.
Advance praise for F*ck the Pauls highlights its candid tone. Author and podcaster Mike Majlak called the book “a raw, transparent look at one of the most controversial families in the world.” Meanwhile, influencer Amanda Cerny described it as essential reading for parents and creators navigating the digital economy.
F*ck the Pauls will be published January 27, 2026.
