Contrary to popular belief, Anthony is not a member of the Hype House. Instead, he belongs to the TikTok collab Sway House, which is comprised of six dudes living rent-free in a Bel-Air mansion.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Anthony’s roommate, Griffin Johnson, confirmed that Sway House is in quarantine together and said California’s statewide shelter-in-place order has actually been an asset for their creativity.
"I think if anything, us being together as an entity and just ourselves has helped us," he told the publication when asked about COVID-19’s impact on the influencers. "A lot of times we get so scattered — we’re going to meetings and events — that we never get to be together as a group to put our minds on content."
Avani also spoke to Rolling Stone about having to social distance from both the Hype House and Anthony. Because she doesn’t actually reside in the home where most of the gang’s videos are filmed — "I wouldn't do my homework if I was here," she told Today in February — the makeup enthusiast is quarantined with her mom and sister.
"People are just waiting for people to post. They’re just staring at their phones all day and just waiting," she explained, adding that engagement on her social media platforms has gone up nearly 25% amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite being separated from her friends, Avani admitted that the isolation has allowed for some experimentation. "Everyone’s bored and on their phones so it’s a good time to see what kind of content you can put out," she shared.
As long as they stay at home, we’ll gladly take new content from the Hype and Sway collabs.
