Thomas Petrou Says This Is Why Influencers Won't Stop Partying During Pandemic

Thomas Petrou is opening up about influencers who have been out partying during quarantine.

The Hype House manager and TikToker recently talked with The New York Times about why they won’t stop partying.

“Our jobs are to entertain people,” Thomas said. “We live with groups of people, and we are all intertwined for work. We can’t put our entire lives on hold for a year and not make any money.”

“We’ve been quarantined, all of us social media influencers hang out every day,” he added. “All of us get tested regularly, and 99 percent of us don’t go home to our families.”

The Hype House held a party in late July that received a lot of negative attention from fans and other internet celebs, including Tyler Oakley, who called out influencers by name in a tweet.

Jake Paul has also defended his decision to be partying during the pandemic.
