Josh Richards explains fall of TikTok group via BFFs YouTube \/ SwayLA InstagramThe fate of the once-great Sway House collective has been up in the air, and TikTok star Josh Richards explained how the group dialed down, as well as Dave Portnoy\u2019s place in the whole dilemma. Much of this speculation started in early December 2020 when Blake Gray\u2019s tweets sparked speculation that something bigger was happening around the Sway House. \u201cAll good things must come to an end at some point,\u201d he said, instantly igniting discourse around the TitkTok collective. Shortly after, it was damage control from members like Bryce Hall and Richards who shut down those rumors in the following days, saying no one had left the group. Of course, matters weren\u2019t made any better as influencers started disassociating themselves from \u2018Sway House\u2019 on their socials. As a commentator of the L.A. influencer scene, there was talk that Portnoy might have had something to do with Sway House seemingly crumbling, something that he asked Richards on the BFF\u2019s Podcast. \u201cNo, I don\u2019t [think you split up Sway House],\u201d Richards said in response to the host. \u201cI think that\u2019s something people are talking about\u2026 but it\u2019s hard to say it\u2019s split up or if it\u2019s still even exists \u2014 It\u2019s weird cause half the people are already out of it.\u201d Richards then explained how the members remember Sway House with fond memories, but talked about the natural separation the group is going through as they grow their own individual content. \u201cHow can you really say it\u2019s broken up?\u201d Richards continued to say. \u201cCause one week there\u2019s no YouTube content together, a TikTok hasn\u2019t been made, or there\u2019s this joking around, or this beef, that \u2018Sway\u2019s over, Sway\u2019s ended.\u2019 People just jump to conclusions.\u201d Richards explains that everyone eventually found their target content that they individually do. So while they\u2019ll work together when possible, they\u2019re all largely doing their own thing. Moreover, the group is \u201cgrowing up,\u201d as Richards says. Now that everyone is dipping into the business or managerial side of social media stardom, Richards said that Sway House fans might not get their regular dose of content even if the TikTokers do link up. As for Portnoy\u2019s place in the saga, Richards downplayed any involvement from Portnoy and is expecting the friends to make sporadic content every once in a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did Dave Portnoy break up the Sway House?
