Logan Paul has drawn confused reactions after deeming himself a “woke a**hole” for saying “women have it hard.”
The most recent episode of the influencer’s reality show, Paul American, showed Paul coming to terms with his wife, model Nina Agdal, being pregnant with a girl last year.
“Thinking about having a daughter, my mind went to some dark places, dude,” he said in a confessional during Thursday’s episode. “I don’t want to come across like a woke asshole, but like, dude, women have it hard. Women have it f***ing hard. And I empathize with them.”
However, many people weren’t sure what to make of the professional boxer’s statement, specifically questioning how the topic of women’s rights is considered “woke.”
The term “woke” is used to describe a heightened awareness of social justice issues, including race, gender, LGBT+ rights, and other forms of inequality. In recent years, it’s been co-opted as an insult, poking fun at what some see as over-the-top political correctness or performative activism.
“Women’s rights are considered ‘woke’ now……” one person wrote on X about Paul’s statement.
Another added, “This brother thinks acknowledging misogyny and sexism is woke.”
Other commenters even questioned whether or not Paul was being “serious” with his statement.
“Is...is he being serious rn? Like this isnt a skit?” one X user questioned, while another wrote, “this seems so satirical, even for a guy like logan.”
Paul and his wife announced the birth of their daughter in September 2024. The two shared a joint Instagram post at the time with a caption that read, “Esmé Agdal Paul has entered the chat.”
The couple announced their pregnancy with Agdal debuting her baby bump on Instagram, sharing sweet photos of her and Paul kissing and holding up ultrasound pictures of their baby. They captioned the carousel of photos: “Another Paul coming this Fall.”
Agdal previously revealed that the pair got engaged in Lake Como, Italy, in July 2023, just two months after celebrating their one-year anniversary.
Speculation began to swirl around the couple starting in June 2022, after they were spotted enjoying a romantic night out in London. Later that December, Paul confirmed their relationship on Instagram by posting a picture of him and the model canoodling. “Lucky me,” he wrote in the caption.
