In an interview with Charlotte D’Alessio’s Between Good and Evil podcast, Josie Canseco went off on her dad for feuding with her boyfriend Logan Paul. The 24-year-old in a lengthy rant mentioned that her father was on a rampage on Twitter calling out the Paul brothers and was being 'selfishly embarrassing'. Josie said that normally if a dad wanted to create a 'fake Twitter beef' he would probably ask for permission.

The 24-year-old internet personality further went off saying that she had no idea if her father was joking. Josie revealed that she has blocked him and hasn't been in touch because she did not like his 'selfish moves'. Josie says Jose “crossed a line” by feuding with Logan Paul and dragging his family into things given that she and Paul are still amicable. The former MLB slugger had posted pictures of Paul's father calling him out after the brothers ignored his social media.

Josie was confused by her father's action especially considering he had a successful career in baseball. Canseco is a six-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion with the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees. He won the AL MVP award in 1988, and led the league in home runs twice and RBIs once during his 16-year career, which was later marred by his admission of using performance-enhancing drugs. The 24-year-old said, "You are low-key a legend in some ways. Why do you need to lower yourself?". The former MLB superstar is scheduled to fight a Barstool Sports employee at Rough N Rowdy on Friday, February 5.
