Paul gathered a substantial fanbase from his YouTube channel and simultaneously he was also working on Disney’s ‘Bizaardvark’ series.

Considering all of that, his neighbors finally decided to move with legal action against him. Consequently, he lost his deal with Disney as in 2017; they announced that Paul won’t be a part of the show any further.
