You know, we're friends and we're going to party together.

And so he comes over.

He's Italian.

He comes over from Italy and they bring him into their crazy lifestyle.

They buy him

Fancy clothes.

They take him to the Rick Owens store.

They introduce him to all the Brandy Melville girls.

He's sleeping with women at the house.

He's seemingly a part of the nonstop party that's happening.

As far as anyone else who's in the house could tell.

You know, this gets into like, well, both sides have their version of the story, and their version, which is...

what they will be saying in court is that this was hazing, that they were toughening him up, that he was weak and he wanted them to make him strong.

And so they would make him do pushups.

They would make him serve drinks at parties.

They'd put him in funny outfits.

They would just sort of like mess around with him in the way that a frat guy might mess around with a pledge.

His version of the story is that they had essentially already, when he moved there, taken money from him and that

In order to get it back, they were sort of forcing him to come live with them.

And he was going along with what they were doing, which included taking away his phone and keeping him locked in the house and ultimately torturing him in various ways.
