Yikes!!
The Hype House — AKA the home where some of the most popular users on TikTok reside — was allegedly broken into! ICYMI, the house members/content creators recently relocated from their original mansion into a second, which used to be known as the Clout House.
Well, it seems as though one group of girls, along with a parental figure, managed to trespass into the first dwelling, which the TikTokers are still paying rent for and still holds some of their belongings.

On Friday, Lil Huddy (real name Chase Hudson, pictured above left) tweeted out:
“so today I woke up, checked tiktok, and saw that a few girls along with their MOTHER broke into our old house, and also took MY clothes. this is beyond f**king weird, how do people think this s**t is okay?”
The TikToks mentioned by Hudson have since been deleted, but show the girls and their mother, Maria Ulacia, whose account the videos were posted to, dancing inside the estate. One comment from the Hype House account on a now-deleted post reads:
“They broke into that house everyone. We still pay rent to that place.”
Ch-ch-check out the allegedly illegal activity (below)!
The alleged home invaders appeared to be wearing various items of clothing worn by members of the house, including Lil Huddy and Avani Gregg. Upon seeing the videos from their old property, member Kouvr Annon uploaded footage of the mansion to her Instagram Story, claiming her fish and tattoo gun had also been stolen. According to the supposed ringleader of the break-in, Maria claimed they were moving into the “OG Hype House” to start the “Junior Hype House.” She said:
“So, if you want, stay tuned. It’s going to be amazing. We’re going to have amazing content in the house and yes we have all the great memories of the OG Hype House.”
WHAT?!
The TikTok user also documented a tour of the house, showing off various items left behind by the former members, including a pink helmet and a whiteboard with a list of names.
One of the girls seen in the videos — Jenny Popach (real name Roselie Arritola) has already written a lengthy apology on her IG Story, claiming she reached out to the former residents:
“listen, i have apologized to chases manager and the hype house manger themselves. i don’t want any bad blood with anyone from or associated with the hype house. a caretaker led us to believe it was okay to see the home, a door was unlocked and they said we could go inside. we did not steal anything and i can assure you that. my friends and i truly love the hype house and only wanted to film there.”
She continued:
“my friend was NOT wearing avanis hat either. she brought her hat herself. she happens to really like avani actually wanted tone like her. my mom may have put chases jacket on and we are sorry about that. we left the jacket in the house after we left. again, did not take anything.
i understand this does not justify us being in the house without permission but we were naive to the situation that they were still renting there and the caretaker wasn’t actually someone they knew. when we went inside the place was already a mess. if they left it clean, someone must’ve came before us and messed it up.”
Accusations also came in that they stole a pet gecko and flushed Annon’s fish down the toilet, to which Arritola responded:
“I didn’t do that. And no I didn’t steal the gecko. My gosh, you’re very ignorant. Please. You weren’t there and you’ve never been there. I didn’t flush a fish, I didn’t even see a fish, and I didn’t steal a gecko. GOODBYE.”
Maria is sticking to the same story as her daughter, uploading a now-deleted video where she also claims she did not break in or steal anything from the house:
“I just wanted to come on here to apologize to everybody who unfortunately believes that I broke into the Hype House. … I am not a thief, never have been and never will be.”
This story has been disputed by multiple group members, including Alex Warren who wrote on a fan account’s post about the incident:
“We don’t have care takers at the old hype house. every door was locked, except one window. you’re a grown adult and set a horrible example for your kids and any other person who follows you. Our homes are not playgrounds nor museums and i hope this never happens to you because you end up feeling violated. Do better next time and if not for yourself then for your kids.”
It’s unclear if any Hype House members will be pursuing legal charges against those involved. Think what you may about TikTok stars, but no one deserves to be violated in this way!
