Logan Paul claims he's 'suing' Tom Brady over viral slap at Fanatics Fest

Logan Paul has broken his silence after Tom Brady appeared to slap him during a Fanatics Fest appearance.

“I’m suing @tombrady,” Paul, 33, wrote via Instagram on Friday, July 17, alongside footage showing the aforementioned fight.

In now-viral footage, Brady, 48, can be seen hitting Paul across his face as they appeared on a joint panel during the New York City convention.

“Bro, you’re the goat, so you should be doing dope s***,” Paul quipped at the time. “You weren’t. I’m a YouTuber … so what?”

Paul then threatened that if Brady returned to Fanatics Fest next year, he would “hurt” him. The NFL icon fired back with an open-handed slap.

“Mad bc I smoked him in,” Paul wrote over footage of the incident via his Instagram Stories later on Friday. “Blocked [with] a torn tricep.”

Brady subtly addressed the apparent feud by resharing Fanatics’ upload of the exchange via his page.

“Round 100 of this never ending beef at Fanatics Fest 😭,” the caption read.

In the heat of the moment, New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns broke up the fight.

“Dork,” Brady tweeted on Friday, further reacting to the near-brawl.

Us Weekly reached out to a rep for Brady for comment at the time.

The duo have been at odds for months ever since Paul trash-talked Brady at a February Fanatics event, claiming that his WWE career made him more athletic than NFL stars like the retired quarterback.

In response, Brady called Paul a “good athlete” but dismissed his wrestling skills as “very cute.”

Brady and Paul reunited at the 2026 Fanatics Flag Football Classic the next month.

“You might wear a helmet - that ball might get loose in my hand and if you’re not paying attention,” Brady quipped during the draft.

Brady appeared to make good on his threat, throwing the ball at Paul during the game.

Brady has also expressed intentions to go toe-to-toe with Paul in the ring.

“I need to get an invite. I’ve been waiting for [WWE president] Nick Khan to come up with some storyline for me to get in the mix,” Brady said on the “What Do You Wanna Talk About?” podcast earlier this week. “I feel like I’m retired from football, and I have an opportunity to go out there and still showcase that I’m a little bit of an athlete. I think I could get in there for at least one match. Come on, Nick. Make it happen.”
