Who Is 'Hullo' And What's With The '$25 Max' Memes? The Disturbing Allegations Against Looksmaxxer 'Mason Hull' Explained
One of the most well-known members of the looksmaxxing community is facing some troubling allegations right now after his ex-girlfriend exposed him for some disturbing DMs.
His name is Mason Hull, also known as Hullo, and it's being claimed that he purchased CSAM from an online seller. Now, the alleged DMs are inspiring memes centered around Hullo's purchasing price of "$25 max."
So, how did all of this go down, and why are people making memes out of such serious allegations? Here's what you need to know about the Hullo controversy.
Who Is 'Hullo' And What Did He Do?
Mason Hull, also known as Hullo, is a looksmaxxing influencer with over 350,000 followers on TikTok. He's mostly known for his "Hullo Method" looksmaxxing courses, which teach buyers how to do looksmaxxing techniques like mewing to improve their looks.
Recently, Hullo's ex-girlfriend Via made a post on her TikTok Story sharing some DMs that are allegedly between Hullo and an unknown WhatsApp user. In the DMs, the messager, alleged to be Hullo, asks for "CP," meaning CSAM, and if they have a "$25 max" package available.
Along with these DMs, Via released the audio of a call and some texts between what sounds like her and Hullo, where he appears to admit to making the purchase and feeling guilty about it.
What Is The '$25 Max' Meme?
While the allegations against Hullo are disturbing and purchasing CSAM is illegal, some people found the claim that he only wanted to spend $25 max funny, as it's such a specific and relatively low amount of money.
This inspired a lot of dark jokes and memes about buying CSAM and "cheese pizza," a coded term for CSAM, for $25. Many of these memes depict Hullo trying to make purchases for things other than CSAM for $25 max.
Some memes take the format of looksmaxxing edits and apply them to the "$25 max" format. These memes start with a clip of someone saying, "25," followed by clips of Hullo posing.
What Happened Between 'Hullo' And 'JiDion?'
When the accusations first came out, Hullo denied them, writing in a post that there are "two sides" to every story. However, a recent video by predator poacher content creator JiDion has got a lot of people thinking Hullo is guilty.
In the video, JiDion meets up with Hullo and acts friendly with him, as if he's on his side and wants to prove his innocence.
However, once JiDion has friendlied up to Hullo, he starts blatantly asking him if the allegations were true while dapping him. He asks if he's done with the "CP," and Hullo nods. JiDion even directly asks if the "CP allegations" are true, and Hullo nods and says they are.
Since then, Hullo's TikTok account has been made private, and he's gone dark, suggesting he might be stepping away from the internet for now.
