Logan Paul is threatening legal action against Tom Brady.
While they were both at Fanatics Fest 2026 on Friday (July 17) in New York City, the got into a tense argument which resulted in the 58-year-old retired pro football player slapping the 28-year-old influencer.
After the slap, New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns stepped in between the two along with some security to pull them apart.
Logan later took to Instagram to share footage of the slap and wrote in the caption, “I’m suing.” He then took to his Story and wrote, “Mad bc I smoked him in flag football.”
Why did Tom Brady slap Logan Paul?
The slap was seemingly a culmination of a months-long argument between the two.
According to Bleacher Report, the two men clashed before when they played against each other during the 2026 Fanatics Flag Football Classic in March. The disagreement stems from when Logan said he thought his time in the WWE made him as athletic as NFL players.
During the actual moment on stage, the pair had continued to trash talk one another and that led to the eventual slap.
“Bro, you’re the goat, so you should be doing dope s–t,” Logan said to Tom. “You weren’t. I’m a YouTuber … so what?”
Tom then slapped Logan after the YouTuber threatened to “hurt” him if he returned to Fanatics Fest next year.
After Logan called him a “horrible example for kids” on X, Tom clapped back and wrote, “I tried America… will try again next time I see this nerd.”
Fans thinks Tom Brady and Logan Paul could face off in a WWE match
The slap also spawned rumors that Tom could step into the ring with Logan soon as he said on Thursday he wanted WWE president Nick Khan to call him about entering the WWE.
“I feel like, I’m retired from football, have the opportunity to go out there and showcase that I’m still a little bit of an athlete,” he said. “My boy Gronk‘s done it, I’ve seen Logan Paul do it. I think I could get in there for at least one match, right?”
Last year, Tom had another viral moment at Fanatics Fest when he and Rob Gronkowski were tossing around the Lombardi Trophy and it broke.
