Disney Channel Dumps Jake Paul After Reports He's Terrorizing Neighbors

The Disney Channel has dumped one of its rising stars after he made one too many wild YouTube videos at his West Hollywood home.

On Saturday, the cable giant officially announced it was parting ways with Jake Paul, 20, one of the cast members on Bizaardvark, a show about kids who make wacky internet videos.

Pauls character, Dirk, was known for doing dangerous stunts for clicks. Its a role that Paul also pursues in real life to the tune of 8.8 million followers on Instagram.

The Disney Channel released this statement about Paul:

Weve mutually agreed that Jake Paul will leave his role on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark. On behalf of the production company, the cast and crew, we thank Jake for his good work on the TV series for the past 18 months and extend our best wishes to him.

The network told Variety that the break allows Paul to focus on his social media presence and make YouTube videos geared toward an older audience than the tweens who typically watch the Disney Channel.

The intro video on his channel provides a brief peek:
