The organiser of the infamous Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow has claimed that his ‘life is ruined’ following his viral event.
Billy Coull, director of the House of Illumanati, the company which set up the shockingly bad immersive ‘Willy’s Chocolate Experience’ has spoken out for the first time that his life has turned to ‘hell’.
‘My life has been turned around. My life is ruined,’ he said in a Channel 5 documentary about the sham event, which has now left viewers shocked by how ‘traumatised’ he looked.
He continued that he had received ‘hundreds and hundreds’ of messages online telling him he should end his life, that he is the ‘devil’, ‘a villain’ and even a terrible father.
One user wrote on X: ‘I genuinely feel sorry for the organiser he looks broken.’
In his own defence Mr Coull he said: ‘I was hoping for an event that would be joyful happy. I wanted people to experience happiness.’
One parent said in the documentary: ‘I genuinely hope he is okay and I fear for his mental health and state of mind.’
This concerned has been matched online with one user saying: ‘I know this was a bad experience and i agree they should get their money back and its not ok to upset kids, but i genuinely hope billy is ok, this is someones mental health and life we are talking about, we say time and time again, be kind, he doesn’t deserve death threats.’
Another wrote on X: ‘I’m feeling really uncomfortable watching Billy Coull on the #wonka documentary- the guy is clearly not very well. I hope he has people around him looking after him.’
Another was shocked at what she saw: ‘Omg why do I feel sorry for Billy though.’
Mr Coull has a chequered history in the event industry and was previously criticised for cancelling a Santa’s grotto event in 2021 after toys and gifts had been donated.
His Gowanbank Hub cancelled the scheduled event due to concerns over the Omicron virus and claims he and his team were ‘distraught.’
For the cursed Wonka event, Coull turned to AI generated text to conjure up an idyllic image of the event that failed to materialise.
He wrote on the website: ‘Delectable Chocolate Fountains.
‘Picture yourself standing before cascading chocolate fountains, each velvety stream inviting you to dip, indulge, and savor the richness of Willy Wonka’s world.
‘These delectable fountains are not just a treat for the taste buds; they’re a visual spectacle, creating an atmosphere of chocolatey bliss that permeates the air.
‘As we countdown to the day when Willy Wonka’s world comes to life, imagine a day filled with laughter, joy, and the irresistible allure of chocolate.
‘The immersive delights of this event are poised to create lasting memories and redefine what it means to step into a world of pure imagination.’
Mr Coull has also self-published 17 Chat-GPT written novels on Amazon last year.
On his Amazon author page, Coull describes himself as an ‘enigmatic wordsmith hailing from the bustling streets of Glasgow’ as well as a ‘rising star in the literary world.’
Currently none of Mr Coull’s 17 works of fiction, including the tome ‘Crimson Eclipse: Chronicles of the Last Dawn’ are available to purchase.
