Billy Coull, director of the House of Illuminati organization that put on the Willy Wonka-inspired event in Glasgow, Scotland, last month claims he's received "hundreds and hundreds" of hate messages following the disaster. 

 

"My life is ruined," he explained in the Channel 5 special Wonka: The Scandal That Rocked Britainon March 16. "I have lost my friends. I've lost the love of my life. I was made out to be the face of all evil. And genuinely, that's really not the case."

 

Billy went on to describe the mishaps—including booking too large a venue and projection equipment that was never delivered—that led to the event's failure. 

 

"I was gutted," he continued. "But I believed that we could push on." And Billy, who described the way he reacted to the event's early shutdown—during which he snapped at upset customers—as the "worst versions" of himself. He added, "The last thing I wanted to see was children to be upset."

So, ATRL, do you think this event was just a poorly planned disaster, or is there possibly a deeper, darker side to it all?

 

P.S. While I'm here, can you guys change the colour for the prefix selection while making a post? It's nearly impossible to see on dark mode :busted:

The only reason you'd push through after seeing the state of the event is because you were hoping to take as much as you could and leave as quickly, I don't have much sympathy on that one

It was a cute internet moment. It's been already like… two/three weeks? Nobody cares anymore.

that seems a little dramatic and harsh. his career being jeopardized would make sense but there's no reason for him to be shunned by his loved ones :chick1:

Um... okay. It's still interesting to hear the perspective of the director who organized the event and the fallout he has experienced since!

That guy is literally a scammer. Look into his past endeavours ☠️

His friends and girlfriend must be very superficial to simply abandon him over an unsuccessful endeavour that got bad publicity.

Sorry for assuming otherwise ❤️ But yeah, there's no making up for this mess I fear, still interesting to hear more about what happened with him after the fact

He's either a conman or he has delusions of grandeur. Either way, I'm sad he chose to make this all about himself.

This guys just a mega liar and probably wants more publicity. The state of that experience was abysmal

Despite everything messed up about the situation, he has wedged his way into pop culture as an infamous icon. I don't feel bad.
