Personally calling someone fake and using their body as a reference point is far less cruel than falsely accusing someone of sexual harassment. One is just words that are a little rooted in sexism and ignorance. The other one could've really affected Paulie's life, people's perception of him AND young viewers' understanding of sexual consent, something that really should NOT be tampered with like that.

The jealousy is basically all he even criticized Zakiyah on I think? She was starting all the drama & arguing between them and he was not wanting to deal with that. He played emotionless in the game, or maybe he's just emotionless in general, but he was never disrespectful to her (like he got with Natalie).
