Lil Huddy has used Charli D’Amelio for clout since Dec 2019. As a manager, it was unpopular to bring it up then especially bc Huddy’s manager Erika Monroe Williams had such a close relationship w Charli’s parents. Now Huddy’s new song eludes to Charli being a “homie hopper”. Wow.
In Dec 2019 FIVE of my clients were in #HypeHouse - Charli, Dixie, Addison, Toni & Ondreaz. For this photoshoot & breakout Taylor Lorenz NYT story, I wasn’t welcome for some reason. 🧐
Lil Huddy, Lorenz etc. - I was onto you so you kept me away, right?
It’s important to follow the history of how these OG TikTok darlings (who now make an estimated $10M+ a yr EACH) originally blew up. I can tell you bc I was there.
#LilHuddy gladly took credit for “scouting” Charli D’Amelio but Charli was already a ⭐️ & had a team behind her.
Here were my 5 clients at the time of this photo shoot with NYT & Taylor Lorenz. Arguably the #HypeHouse’s biggest stars perhaps aside from #LilHuddy at the time. #CharliDamelio#AddisonRae etc.
I met LilHuddy at Instaskate Dec 2019. I was concerned abt him, his arrogance etc.
Then there were Erika Monroe-Williams clients - #LilHuddy etc. 5 #HypeHouse members tied to LilHuddy or his manager. Later @daisykeeech was stripped of her HH founder role. One of the leaders even spoke disparagingly about Daisy to me eluding that she was just a trashy IG model.
My impression towards #LilHuddy towards #CharliDamelio at the time was that of someone with his own selfish agenda. He pretty much dismissed me and at some point it was clear that I was not welcome in his house - the #HypeHouse - even though I repped 5 of the most famous members.
I tried to warn the D’Amelios abt Taylor Lorenz. I felt it was my professional responsibility as a manager.
As you can see, the other manager on D’Amelio’s team was invited to the photoshoot w Lorenz/NYT along w Erika Monroe-Williams.
Maybe I was left out bc I had questions.🧐
Isn’t it interesting that just 12 days after Taylor Lorenz’s Hype House Gold Rush article goes out, my clients then sign to UTA. The SAME agency that reps Taylor Lorenz. And Addison signs to WME along with LilHuddy, Thomas and the rest of the Hype House?
Dec 2019 I saw the writing on the wall & I wanted to protect Charli, Dixie, Addison, Tony & Ondreaz from hastily joining a collective publicly in NYT w/o first understanding how the other members would profit from their involvement. Now even Charli’s mom has called LilHuddy out.
Here’s #LilHuddy new song lyrics fans say are abt #CharliDamelio. Seems like he’s projecting…
Stab me in the back like nothin'
Never really saw this comin’
I watched you make it in public
Lights, camera, fuck it
You're a show stopper, a bad liar, homie hopper
Drama starter
Other clients that didn’t heed my advice for their careers were Tony & Ondreaz Lopez. I advised them not to move into #HypeHouse w/o an equity stake in the co they promoted. They ghosted me as soon as they moved in & stopped paying me. 2yrs later Tony,LilHuddy & Thomas were sued.
If you want to dig further into what happened & understand why I believe Taylor Lorenz aligned with #LilHuddy, Thomas, UTA etc to get my clients away from me and ruin my reputation - watch these 2 videos 1. @mccruddenm 2. @BostWiki

🧾Burden of Proof: This is like someone at work spreading a rumor about you, and you wanting to clear your name. You can’t just tell your boss it’s a lie, you need to bring emails, messages, or witnesses - concrete proof that it’s false. That’s your burden in a defamation… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
🧾 Burden of Proof
Publication: You have to show that the statement was published, meaning it was shared with someone other than you. This doesn’t mean it needs to be in a newspaper or book; it could be spoken in a public place, broadcasted on TV or radio, or posted on social… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Possibly the most important video you should watch if you want to understand the depths of Taylor Lorenz’s reporting practices and how she came after ME - a non-political, non-rich, non-white, non-male. I say that only to point to her hypocrisy. Link 41:33
We all owe A LOT to @BostWiki for calling Taylor Lorenz out before it was popular & for reporting HONESTLY on her tactics b4 she became a 🤡 meme.
🎥
The journalist who bravely exposed TL worked at McDonalds & grew up in a small town in the Midwest.
.@BostWiki exposed Taylor Lorenz for the bully she is OVER A YEAR AGO when MSM still protected, amplified and victimized her - even 👑’d her 40under40. He deserves ppl to watch his 🎥 (which is likely suppressed by @YouTube).
🚨 Taylor Lorenz caught lying & playing victim AGAIN. A young man (who happens to be a minority w autism) went to the PUBLIC @Meta protest organized by meme creators. He went to meet creators he’s a fan of but Lorenz was there too.She makes him leave & then says he’s a stalker.🤨
You might be wondering why Taylor Lorenz doesn’t like this individual.
The story I was told was that this man used to be a fan of Taylor bc he’s a fan of internet culture. He had made a fan account that reposted Lorenz’s PUBLIC posts. Initially Taylor didn’t mind the attention.
Once Taylor Lorenz realizes that someone has a record of her PUBLIC posts on social media - she changes her tune & becomes very upset.
The man followed & kept record of her PUBLIC social media posts. This is threatening?
Isn’t this EXACTLY what Taylor does on a daily basis? 🤔
Seriously @annie_goldsmith? Your puff piece about Taylor Lorenz (where you oddly put a photo of me next to political public figures) has no mention of the lawsuit against Lorenz or WHY she was sued. It also mischaracterizes why people criticize her & her own attacks on women.🧵
I had to sign up for @theinformation and pay $39 to a publication I’ll never read just to see why my photo was associated to Taylor Lorenz in your article. And to my surprise- no mention of me, the claims in the lawsuit or why I went on Tucker Carlson. 🧵 Let me help you out…
“She [Taylor Lorenz] just keeps putting out bangers.” @oneunderscore__ Ben Collins NBC.
Ben - Did you know she wrote a “banger” about me full of lies basically inferring that I spied on kids, stole from them and leaked their nudes? All FALSE ideas that can be proven in court?
