The Hype House is the name of a collective of teenage TikTok personalities based in Los Angeles, California, as well as the name of the mansion where some of the creators formerly lived.[1] It is a collaborative content house, allowing the different influencers and content creators to make videos together easily.[1] Members include Thomas Petrou, Mia Hayward, Alex Warren, Kouvr Annon, Jack Wright, Chase Hudson, Vinnie Hacker, Renata Valliulina and more.

The house itself is a Spanish-style Mansion perched at the top of a gated street, containing a palatial backyard, pool, and a large kitchen and dining quarters.[1]

History[]

The collective formed in December 2019, and includes around twenty rising or established Gen Z[2][better source needed] influencers from TikTok. Most of its funding for creation came from Daisy Keech,[3] Chase Hudson and Thomas Petrou. Charli D'Amelio, Dixie D'Amelio, and Addison Rae. During its peak in membership, it had twenty-one members until founding member Daisy Keech left in March 2020, citing internal disputes with other members as the reason for her departure.[4] In May 2020, the D'Amelios' representative confirmed the sisters also left the collective when "The Hype House started to become more of a business."[5] Larray, who was already an established YouTuber and TikTok personality, joined in January 2020, but confirmed in his Livestream that he had left later that year.[6] Vinnie Hacker an internet sensation, joined the house in January 2021, which was a surprise to a lot of the Hype House's fan base. Russian Model Renata Valliulina (also known as Renata Ri) joined the house in December 2021.

Netflix Reality Show[]

On April 22, 2021, Netflix announced that they would be airing a reality series at The Hype House, starring Annon, Dragun, Gomez, Hudson, Merritt, Petrou, Warren and Wright.[7] It was announced in December 2021 that The Hype House will premier on Netflix on January 7, 2022.

Controversies[]

On July 21, 2020, Nikita Dragun held a surprise birthday party for Larray during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Hype House mansion.[8] The party included internet celebrities such as James Charles and others.[9] At the time of the party, California's COVID-19 cases had just surpassed New York's cases.[10] There was an estimated 67 people in attendance,[11] many of whom were seen without face masks[9] despite local health laws.[12] Photos and videos of the event appeared on social media sites such as Instagram. These posts drew criticism from the public, including other influencers like Elijah Daniel and Tyler Oakley.[8][13] Merritt, and some of the other attendees, later apologized.[11] Residents of The Hype House later tested negative for COVID-19.[14]
