Even if you're not on social media, there's little chance that you've missed some of the controversy surrounding the so-called 'G.O.A.T House' based in Dublin.
The G.O.A.T House which is based on the south-side of Dublin launched late last week and is a 'collab' house for some of Ireland's biggest influencers. A similar 'collab house' launched in the US last year and houses between 4 and 19 of the biggest TikTok stars on that side of the Atlantic. The idea behind all living together is to share content and to cross-pollinate each others accounts with followers.
Currently, 9 people are living in The G.O.A.T House including Lauren Whelan, Nia Gallagher and the two co-founders Thomas Arnold and Jake Browne.
While the initial announcement got a lot of attention, and a lot of eyerolls, things took a turn over the weekend when one member of the house, DJ and TikTok star Marty Guilfoyle decided to leave the house. Marty, who is 28, was subject to an onslaught of online abuse for a perceived age gap between himself and some of the other content creators in the house.
Speaking to Dermot and Dave, co-founder of The G.O.A.T House, Thomas Arnold said that 'things went completely out of control' and explained why he felt Marty was singled out by social media users.
Thomas also lifted the lid on life inside a house full of influencers is like-we're sure there's a run on phone chargers!
