Take your seats and let’s get ready to rumble because Thomas Petrou is sharing his side
of the story regarding all of this Hype House drama after Daisy Keech revealed HER side
of the hype house experience!
What’s up y’all, it’’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News, bringing you all
the breaking music news updates here from my in-home Clevver studio.
Now before we get into ALL this juicy drama let’s bring you up to speed shall we?
TikTok star and Hype House co-founder Daisy Keech released her YouTube video which dropped
a lot of bombs explaining why she is filing lawsuits and her falling out with Thomas Petrou.
In the video she begins with the backstory of her and Thomas’ friendship saying that
they were so close that they hung out nearly every single day.
They both came from Jake Paul’s Team 10 House!
So when Thomas and Chase Hudson aka Lil Huddy came to her about starting a Tik Tok Content
House, Daisy was more than happy to throw down money!
But despite her big deposit, she claims that she got zero representation as a co-founder
and didn’t have any access to Hype House’s social channels or brand deals, it was all
under Thomas’ control!
She went on to open up about her lack of recognition with the brands despite putting down 18,000
dollars that she claims Chase and Thomas “didn’t have.”
Daisy recently decided to up and leave and that’s when it all came to a stop!
A breaking point happened when Thomas was caught filming a music video in the house
without Daisy’s permission and she confronted him.
Thomas then unfollowed her on all social channels including Hype House’s social as well.
And that’s when Daisy’s lawsuits come into play.
Daisy also alleges that Thomas was buying a lot of expensive things… even though the
Hype House wasn’t making any money.
In the video, she explained that she was noticing Thomas with a bunch of new luxury goods while
adding that Hype House had yet to be profitable.
And when Daisy would ask to get access to the social channels, she was denied.
Daisy even took to her Instagram to share her frustrations over her struggles with Thomas
writing “ Yo, just a heads up, when you start loving yourself loudly and start setting
healthy boundaries, you’re gonna piss off any toxic people around you.”
She also added “Don’t let them walk all over you.”
In a now deleted tweet, Thomas Petrou is speaking out about the allegations against him.
He said, “I’m over these lies.
My names on the lease along with Alex and Kouvr.
The real truth coming out real soon.”
Now, Thomas’ statement seems a bit contradicting as Daisy also stated in her video that she
was in fact on the lease and felt uncomfortable by Thomas’ decisions that he was making
in the Hype House in a house that she was responsible for.
He also took to his Instagram Stories to type a simple message that read “Lies on lies
on lies,” before he quickly took it down.
So According to Thomas, Daisy was never on the lease.
So what are your thoughts on this crazy scandal?
Are you team Daisy or team Thomas?
Comment below!
Now Originally, the Hype House was formed back in December and consisted of the industry’s
biggests stars with some of them living in the mansion full time and others just snagging
a room to crash when they're in town.
The house was essentially planned to be a collab house so everyone could work and film
together while capturing great videos and other content.
Over the past couple of years these types of houses have been a hit with creators constantly
looking to come together as a way of leveling up their content.
Just a couple of weeks ago, the Hype House started to make headlines after rumors started
to swirl that Daisy could be cutting ties with some of the industry’s biggest names.
Her lawyer, Chris Young, told the Insider "Daisy is establishing a new house, and it's
unclear, you know, based on ongoing trademark disputes, whether the new house will have
a Hype House name or another name."
Daisy has invited some original members of the Hype House to join her and while those
names aren’t clear the Hype House’s Instagram page does show a couple others who have since
been unfollowers.
It appears as though Daisy, Patrick Huston, Connor Yates, Calvin Golby, and Wyatt Xavier
might be team Daisy in this one as these guys are noticeably absent from the following list.
Multiple reports have also come out saying that three different trademark filings have
been submitted for the Hype House with three of the applications belonging to Daisy.
Young also explained "We even indicated to them that, you know, there could be people
that have larger ownerships than Daisy if it felt right.
We wanted a democratic process.
We wanted everyone at the table."
He also added, "They seem to think that we filed a trademark and did not include them
on it.
In reality, we had asked them to come and speak to us after we filed the trademark."
For the time being, it appears to be business as usual for the rest of the Hype House members
while everyone hangs out at their home as the legal troubles begin.
Other members of the Hype House appear to be laying low and not commenting on all of
this drama.
But the case could be that Daisy’s funds were the saving grace for that house?
And maybe now they are realizing that they bit off more than they can chew.
We shall find out in IG posts and YouTube tell-alls to come!
But it’s time for you to chime in.
Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Once again, I’m Emile Ennis Jr. and I’ll see you later.
