Corey Worthington, the punk who became the face of teenage rebellion for throwing a huge party in his parents’ house, has been bashed.
The bleach-haired, yellow sunglasses-wearing 16-year-old was beaten up by a gang of teenagers in his hometown of Narre Warren, in Melbourne’s outskirts, on Monday.
Video footage of the brawl was captured on a mobile phone by a local teenager.
It shows Corey, shirtless as always, being tackled to the ground while a voice yells: “Chris, give it to him!” Police arrived quickly and the brawl dispersed. Corey was not believed to be seriously injured.
It was Corey’s first taste of the dark side of fame, which the precocious adolescent stumbled on after 500 guests crashed a party at his parents’ house while they were on holiday.
The fight took place at Fountain Gate Shopping Centre, the place made famous by the fictional characters Kath and Kim.
Corey turned up to the shopping centre with a group of friends expecting a fight with another group of teenagers.
There had been an altercation between the two groups last Friday, according to the teenager who captured the incident on camera.
“He came with all his friends to fight,” said the witness, who was not named. “The fight broke out when they got to the oval.
“Chris started hitting Corey in the face, kneeing him in the face.
“Everyone scatters when the police get there.”
The witness said Corey was only targeted for his so-called fame. “He thinks he’s all that, he’s famous now,” he said.
Since gaining worldwide infamy, Corey’s bad attitude has inspired the internet game “Slap Corey”, which has now been played more than 850,000 times.
Corey has since taken representation with celebrity agent Max Markson, and is reportedly preparing a world tour promoting and DJ-ing at parties.
The youth is understood to have tentatively reunited with his parents, who kicked him out of their house in the weeks after the world famous party.
It was ACA that gave Corey his biggest boost into his teetering superstardom.
Asked during an interview on the program the day after his party if he had thought about his actions, Corey replied: “I have. Everyone has. And they love it.”
Victoria Police are believed to be investigating Monday’s incident but have not laid charges.
