Short information
| Fact | Son of RJ Molinere and Stacey Molinere. |
Jay Paul Molinere had a childhood that very few people—if any—would call conventional, perhaps only to be expected if you’re descended from gator hunters. As unusual as this is, it’s also an extremely lucrative business and an activity fully embraced in the History Channel’s “Swamp People” series. If you’re going to be wrestling with gators for part of your year, it makes sense that you should be muscular and well built. For Molinere, this is essential, and a necessity he channeled into the boxing ring where he has won multiple titles. Molinere is not all rough and cruel, he is also in a committed and loving relationship and is the father of three children.
Early life and childhood
Jay-Paul was born as Roland Molinere III on August 20, 1988 in Grand Bois, Louisiana, USA to RJ and Stacy Molinere. Although he has two sisters, both nurses now, he is the only one of the children in the spotlight. Jay Paul knew he wanted to be a boxer since he was six, but those dreams were nearly dashed after a near-fatal accident when he was 10.e In July, a jet ski malfunctioned and collided with Jay Paul. Molinere was rushed to hospital with an eight-inch skull fracture and spent three days in a coma, with doctors doubting he would ever be able to speak again after the injury, but after intensive rehabilitation and perseverance, he made a full recovery. .
Education
Being a crocodile hunter himself, RJ Jay Paul began learning how to hunt crocodiles, crabs and traps from the age of three. With such an early start, it’s not surprising that Jay Paul became adept at these activities. Jay Paul also took boxing lessons from his uncle Elsie, who wanted to help him fulfill his dream of becoming a boxer.
Molinere attended South Terrebonne High School, where he played defensive back on the football team for four seasons. He enrolled in 2006 with good grades and a lot of confidence, and was so proficient in the boxing ring that Columbus Rotary awarded him a $2,000 scholarship that enabled him to enroll in Fletcher Technical Community College and graduate with a degree in 2011 in anesthesiology.
Career
boxing career
By the time he was 20 years old, Jay Paul was making a name for himself in the boxing ring. In addition to 30 recorded fights on the MMA circuit, Molinere won multiple awards and scholarships for his achievements. He won his first title in 2008, the Gulf Coast Boxing Championship, solidifying his prowess in the ring. He went on to win the Golden Gloves Division Championship in 2009, followed by the Arnold Sports Festival Championship in 2010. It was this latter title that earned him his $2,000 scholarship from the Columbus Rotary. While he has since moved on to other projects, Jay Paul has admitted that he wouldn’t be averse to reviving his MMA career.
“Swamp People”
“Swamp People” came at the perfect time for Jay Paul. Fresh out of college, he was able to join his father for the second season of the show. “Swamp People” is a History Channel docuseries that depicts the extremely brief, yet incredibly hair-raising gator hunting season, lasting only 30 days, during which hunters must earn a year-round income. The hunting industry is strictly regulated and hunting parties are given a limited number of tags that correspond to the number of alligators they are allowed to cull.
Jay Paul and his father team up on the show to take down the beasts, who while happy to stay docile and warm in the sun, are ferocious and relentlessly strong when challenged.
Jay Paul remained on the show from 2011 to 2014 when he opted out after the 10e season. The show is one of the most popular in the History Channel Series pantheon, drawing 3.1 million viewers for its season one premiere and rising to 5.5 million viewers by the time of the season two finale.
Tours
After a significant number of the “Swamp People” cast were fired under mysterious circumstances, Jay Paul and his father began looking for a way to make a living from the reality TV spotlight. Fortunately, their time on the show had greatly increased their fame, and the two were able to capitalize on this by offering tours of the swamps and giving paid speeches and performances.
Private life
Family
Although they are not married, Jay Paul Molinere is in a committed relationship with his longtime girlfriend Ashleigh Price. The two portray the image of a perfect couple and have not been the subject of controversy during their relationship. The two have two children that they raised together. Their eldest child, their son Jayden, was born on April 14, 2009. On July 29, 2013, they were lucky enough to have a second child, this time a daughter they named A’niyiah Nikole. Molinere is currently teaching his son how to use a gun and live off the land, passing on that sacred family tradition.
Meeting with the police
Jay Paul and his father, RJ, were the subject of much debate in 2013 when they were arrested on charges of aggravated battery, which arose after a 24-year-old called police claiming he had been assaulted by the two men and at the head hit with a beer bottle after a verbal altercation on the road. When police issued arrest warrants when the two could not be found, both Jay Paul and his father turned themselves in to the station.
With the couple’s obvious size and strength, it’s clear they can be intimidating – that doesn’t mean they’re guilty of assault, though.
They were both released on $1,000 bond, with the media not following up on the aftermath. However, given that they would have received up to ten years in prison, on top of $5,000 fines, it seems reasonable to assume that they were acquitted. As is often the case with the media, the mugshots of the two have been leaked and are pretty much all over the internet.
Appearance
To say that Jay Paul Molinere is well-built is somewhat of an understatement, but what else would you expect from a one-time MMA boxing champion and gator fighter? The Molineres are descendants of the Houma tribe, which originated in the swamp, a sign of great pride for them.
Jay Paul keeps his hair short and has dark brown eyes. He is 1.83 m tall and weighs about 82 kg.
Net worth and salary
With the price of alligator meat always rising, Jay Paul isn’t uptight for business – even though the hunting season is so short, the pay is excellent. While some people have objected to the show, claiming it depicts killing as a sport, it is integral to remember that this is not a hobby or a game, but a livelihood. Jay Paull net worth is estimated by sources citing about $1 million, as of mid-2020.
