Aussie man reveals the truth about noughties icon Corey Worthington’s infamous Melbourne house party

An Australian man who attended Corey Worthington’s infamous 2008 house party in Melbourne has revealed the truth about what it was really like.

Party boy Corey became a global sensation at the age of 16 after throwing a party that got out of hand at his parents’ house in Melbourne in 2008.

The yellow sunglasses that Corey wore at the time became his fashion brand and the party made global headlines for the pranks going on.

However, Australian partygoer Matt, 36, revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show that the infamous party was in fact a huge letdown.

‘They made this party wild. The truth was there were teenagers at the front door, it cost five dollars to get in. Once you walked in, it looked like a can of sardines,” he began.

“Everyone everywhere, but the house had a little speaker and it was locked.”

The upset caller said the event was falsely advertised as a ‘house party’, which he said was untrue as guests were only allowed to mingle outside the premises.

“He ordered people to come in, and you didn’t even come into the house. It was in the garden,” he claimed.

Matt added that the party only picked up steam when upset guests decided to create their own entertainment by causing a ruckus in the streets – a move that police quickly put a stop to.

‘It was pretty lame. “It didn’t get interesting until it closed down, and people were ripping out mailboxes, pushing cars and causing a commotion,” he said.

Corey gained national attention in 2008 when, aged 16, he threw a wild party at his parents’ home in suburban Melbourne.

After the event was publicized on Myspace, a reported 500 partygoers showed up and the carnage that followed attracted police helicopters and the dog squad to the property.

Two days later, a video was uploaded to YouTube of an interview Corey did with A Current Affair about the party and its aftermath.

“Why don’t you take off your glasses so we can see you,” interviewer Leila McKinnon asked about his yellow sunglasses, to which Corey replied that he rarely took them off.

After finding fame with the raucous party in 2008, Corey starred in season eight of Big Brother Australia later that year.

In 2018, he returned to reality television on the second season of Australian Ninja Warrior, where he debuted his new muscular physique.
