*Note: the information in this thread is alleged and comes from several sources close to Sway House, as well as sources inside the LA Mayors office, and the DA’s office in Texas.
I have reached out to Bryce Hall, Josh Richards, Jaden Hossler and Michael Gruen via Instagram DMs.
Michael Gruen has since responded to the thread saying “I don’t drink but YOLO”. Bryce Hall has tweeted in the past “you know it’s 2020 when Michael Gruen starts smoking weed”. Josh Richards retweeted that.
Reached out via email as well
Michael Gruen has responded to allegations a $30,000 citation was received by Jason Wilhelm of TalentX as a result of Bryce Hall’s parties. When asked if the citation was $30,000, Michael said “Not to my knowledge”.
Clarification: Michael Gruen responded saying he doesn’t drink. No mention of alcohol is made in original tweet. Sources say Gruen is “getting wasted”. There is a difference between getting wasted and getting drunk. “Getting wasted” generally means taking too much of any drug.
