The house doesn't seem too hyped about this! Chase Hudson a.k.a. Lilhuddy moved out of the Hype House and the rest of his housemates are not happy about it. In an exclusive sneak peek of Netflix's Hype House, which premieres Jan. 7, TikTok influencers Thomas Petrou and Mia Hayward discuss Chase's exit from the house. "The way that Chase moved out was disrespectful," Mia says in the video, "Rude as f––k. I don't even know how you could do that to one of your friends." The clip flashes back to footage from three months prior, where Thomas explains what exactly went down, noting, "Chase handled this absolutely horribly. A month ago he sat...

“Hype House,” a new reality soap series on Netflix, opens with a very fair question. “My whole goal with this house in the first place,” states Thomas Petrou, “was, why can’t people who hit millions of other people be as famous as A-list celebrities?”
The house in question is one shared by TikTok stars, whose work and whose interpersonal conflicts make up the storyline of “Hype House.” These young people reside in a Los Angeles-area mansion that become notorious via New York Times reporting by Taylor Lorenz. Whereas in the old “Real World” mansion, simply living in an extravagantly emotional way was the job, this reality show features people in an endless work-from-home cycle. They use the house to create content — video clips measured by the attention they elicit. (To wit: Petrou is introduced with us with a chyron next to his name indicating that he has 8.1 million followers.

Hype House, the long-in-the-works Netflix reality series following the seminal TikTok house of the same name, is set to debut on Friday.
The series was produced by Jimmy Kimmel and Brent Montgomery’s Wheelhouse Group -- with whom the Hype House has an overall deal -- and its Spoke Studios.
The incubator and collab house -- with members living together in a $5 million mansion -- has undergone some legal wranglings and member shakeups, including the departure of the D’Amelio sisters, who have their own show at Hulu. Hype House stars Larray, Chase 'Lil Huddy' Hudson, Thomas Petrou, Nikita Dragun (with whom Wheelhouse also operates a 360 deal), Vinnie Hacker, Alex Warren, and Kouvr Annon.

The talent firm has signed Kouvr Annon, a member of the massively popular -- though increasingly controversy-plagued -- Hype House, which is a faction of TikTok stars living and creating together in a lavish Hollywood mansion. The House -- which is also affiliated with top stars like Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae -- is currently beset by a legal battle in which alleged co-founder Daisy Keech has filed suit against two of the group’s other apparent co-founders, Chase Hudson and Thomas Petrou.
Annon was born and raised in Hawaii, though recently moved into the Hype House, where she is churning out content with fellow members for TikTok (5.8 million followers) as well as YouTube (281,000 subscribers) and Instagram (952,000 followers).

One of the co-founders of the controversy-ridden TikTok creator collective The Hype House is sharing his side of the story. Influencer and entrepreneur Thomas Petrou, who has been widely credited as co-founder of the venture in the press -- alongside TikTok star Chase ‘Lil Huddy’ Hudson -- has issued a video response to his estranged friend and business partner, Daisy Keech.
Keech, an Instagram star who alleges that she is a co-founder of The Hype House but was never appropriately credited, has since left the collective to form a rival faction called the Clubhouse. Keech has also filed suit against Petrou and Hudson, seeking control of The Hype House trademark, repayment for her share of any income that has been brought in to date, and a means of formalizing the various stakeholders in the venture.

Daisy Keech, a social influencer and fitness model who claims to be one co-founder of TikTok creator collective The Hype House -- an allegation that is disputed by oft-credited founders Thomas Petrou and Chase Hudson -- moved out of The Hype House's Los Angeles mansion. Keech has also filed a federal lawsuit against influencer-entrepreneur Petrou and Hudson, a 17-year-old eboy with 17.8 million followers on the microvideo app.
According to Forbes, Keech collected her remaining belongings from The Hype House, flanked by an armed security guard, earlier this month. And Keech's latest suit accuses Petrou and Hudson of striking business deals without her knowledge or involvement, exiling her from the group, and attempting to position themselves as the only co-founders of the venture.

The Hype House’s legal drama -- notably a growing schism between two early members, Thomas Petrou and Daisy Keech (pictured above) -- rages onward.
Insider reports that Keech, a 20-year-old influencer-model with 3.1 million TikTok followers is setting out to start a rival house -- though “it's unclear based on ongoing trademark disputes whether the new house will have a Hype House name or another name," her lawyer, Chris Young, told the outlet..
While 20-year-old Petrou, who was formerly affiliated with Team 10, has claimed to be the co-founder of The Hype House alongside 17-year-old creator Chase Hudson (15.8 million followers), Keech began claiming to be a co-founder as well in January. Keech is also currently embroiled in a trademark dispute over 'The Hype House' name, with several dueling applications currently in the works. This is a critical battle, per Insider, as The Hype House is launching a 90s-inspired merch line later this month.

The buzzy Hype House is home to many of TikTok’s biggest stars -- and the business concept blew up in the press in early January, as the House and many of its members were signed to Hollywood's top talent agencies.
But in a development that illuminates the complexity of collaboration, Insider reports that a potentially nasty legal fissure may be brewing between two of the organization's early members: 20-year-old influencer Daisy Keech, and frequently-credited Hype House co-founder Thomas Petrou -- a 20-year-old vlogger who was formerly affiliated with Jake Paul's Og creator collective, Team 10.
Though Petrou and 17-year-old eboy Chase Hudson have frequently been credited as co-founders of The Hype House in the press, Keech -- who no longer lives at The Hype House -- began proclaiming herself a co-founder in her Instagram bio (where she counts 3 million followers) in January.

A faction of popular TikTok stars living and creating under the same roof have caught the eye of one of Hollywood’s top talent agencies.
The so-called Hype House, led by eboy icon Chase Hudson, have signed with Wme for representation in all areas, according to The Hollywood Reporter, including digital opportunities, fashion, modeling, music, touring, commercials, film, TV, and product licensing.
Hudson, whose hearthrobby lip sync videos and emo-tinged style have racked up 9.4 million followers on the Bytedance-owned app, is just 17 years old. He founded The Hype House creator collective with fellow social star Thomas Petrou, who was previously involved with Jake Paul’s Team 10 -- a predecessor to the Hype House business model in many ways that was built around Vine and YouTube stars. Petrou also counts 170,000 subscribers on a now-dormant YouTube channel.
