The YouTube incubator agency of Jake Paul is at the center of transphobia allegations.
This week, Jake Paul's Team 10 shared a statement in which they say an "internal investigation" will be launched "to determine exactly what unfolded, and the full context" so that "appropriate steps" can be taken to ensure learned lessons and whatnot.
This comes in the wake of two transgender women saying they were booted from the Team 10 house by editor Blaine O'Roark and told they're not "real girls," per the Daily Dot. Lilah Gibney and Kendall Raindrop previously shared a video on the incident, embedded below:
In the clip, O'Roark is heard saying he's not being "transphobic" and that he was told "girls were coming."
According to comments Gibney later gave Dot, she was allegedly asked by a Team 10 rep to remove the video and threatened with legal action.
This isn't the first Team 10-related controversy, nor is it the first Paul-related one. Jake Paul has yet to specifically address this particular incident publicly. In a tweet Monday, however, he did say that all of his controversies "have been cleared & aired out publicly & showed nothing but the fact that other parties were lying."
