A glum Filly kept a low profile as he reported to Perth Police Station for the first time today.

He wore a dark baseball cap and a cream hooded jacket with black shorts and trainers.

He remained inside the building for just five minutes.

He had performed a show at Perth’s Bar1 Nightclub the hours before meeting the woman making the allegations.

Prosecutor Depetro wanted Filly to remain behind bars as he accused the star’s fame of potentially playing a part in the assault.

He said: “This has already made headlines.

“Given nature of social media, nature of people jumping on bandwagons, given the nature of (the) power imbalance between the parties.”

Yung Filly is known for his comedic talents on YouTube where he shot to fame alongside fellow creators Beta Squad while also appearing in The Sidemen videos.

He then branched out to his own individual projects including podcasts, music and mainstream TV gigs.

He featured on Channel 4‘s The Great Celebrity Bake Off in 2022 and has previously fronted the BBC‘s Hot Property.

One of Filly’s most successful projects saw him be one of the faces of the FootAsylum YouTube channel.

He regularly went viral online for his comedic takes in shows such as Does the Shoe Fit?, Home Schooled and Truth Asylum.

But the shoe and clothing brand has since cut ties with the Colombian born personality.

They announced they are “suspending our contract with Yung Filly with immediate effect”.

A music event in Essex on October 25 has also been called off as well as a “freshers’ takeover” music night at Trilogy Nightclub in Colchester due to Filly being booked to perform at them.

Who is Yung Filly?

YUNG Filly’s rise to fame saw him start out as a social media star.

The influencer got his big break on YouTube before moving into mainstream TV.

Although he goes by Yung Filly, his real name is Andres Felipé Barrientos.

He was born on August 6, 1995, and moved to the UK from Colombia when he was two years old.

Filly then relocated to southeast London during his childhood.

When asked what it was like growing up in the capital, he told Indy100: “I come from the bottom of the barrel…and that’s why I’m so grateful for the position I’m in now.

“My mum definitely shaped me with the lessons she taught me.

“She’s a single mum with three kids, my dad was a s*** dad so she just had to make it happen.

“She did loads of cleaning jobs. My mum worked at Poundland at the time I had some mad BBC series…just getting my mum out of the position she was in was just the biggest motivation.”

Filly is best known for being a member of the comedy group known as The Wall of Comedy.

He is affiliated with fellow YouTuber Chunkz and the pair have collaborated on many videos and tracks.

Over the years, Filly has also taken part in The Sidemen‘s Charity Football Match, organised by members Josh Bradley, Simon Minter, Tobi Brown, KSIEthan PayneVikram Barn and Harry Lewis.
