Paul spoke out on the issue during an episode of his imPaulsive podcast on August 12, claiming that he’d had a sinking feeling about Diaz ahead of his arrest.

“Every person we know who does bad things… I can feel that before it needs to be told to me,” Paul explained. “Ray Diaz, for example. Always just rubbed me the wrong fucking way. When I was around the dude, it was like, ‘There’s something here that irks me’ – and sure enough, all that shit exploded.”

Paul’s thoughts on the subject follow Diaz’s arrest on July 12, which law enforcement confirmed was due to suspicion of sexual assault.

His arrest followed disturbing clips posted to Instagram by his 17-year-old ex-girlfriend Angelica Salek, which contained audio of Diaz allegedly verbally and physically abusing her.

The clips soon went viral, with Salek later releasing a tearful video claiming that she was “scared to go home” after Diaz was released on $50,000 bail – but he wasn’t scott-free for long.
