‘The Problem Child’ regularly filmed pranks and funny videos in his neighborhood. Once, by mistake, he ended up disclosing his address on his channel and there was a sea of fans who gathered outside his home, resulting in an undeniable quarrel. His neighbors even termed Paul’s house a ‘war zone’.

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.

Paul threw a party during COVID-19

No one on this occasion wore a mask or maintained any sort of social distance. As this news broke out, ‘The Problem Child’ was on the receiving end of a huge backlash coming from one and all.
