Jake Paul’s relationship with Olympian Jutta Leerdam has seen its share of ups and downs, with a recent incident leaving the pro boxer feeling remorseful. The 27-year-old, amidst launching a new business venture offering an alternative to men’s body deodorant, saw an opportunity to prank Leerdam as part of a marketing stunt.
In a video, Paul surprises Leerdam with a gift, presenting it as a handbag. However, upon opening it, she discovers a bottle of Paul’s “W” brand deodorant instead. Paul tries to play off the prank, describing the deodorant as “super ergonomic” and versatile for everyday use.
Despite the unexpected twist, Leerdam takes the joke in stride, humorously responding, “This makes me happy babe, I’m seriously going to wear this. It’s the best gift ever.”
The incident sparked mixed reactions, with Paul facing criticism for the prank being seen as insensitive or in poor taste. Nonetheless, it highlighted the complexities of their relationship and the public scrutiny that comes with their celebrity status.
