Louis Theroux’s latest documentary is certainly eye-opening – and that’s putting it lightly. Taking on the sordid underbelly of the manosphere, the hour-and-a-half long Netflix special introduces us to some key characters in the online culture of misogyny, including British streamer Harrison Sullivan, AKA HSTikkyTokky.
If, before watching Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere, you’d been lucky to avoid Sullivan’s digital footprint, here’s a quick recap: the 24-year-old from Essex dropped out of uni and rose to fame on social media by posting content about fitness, finance and dating. Oh, and also by espousing derogatory views about women. The UK, he claims, is full of “low-quality women”. During his first relationship, he allegedly bought his girlfriend a boob job to rectify a body that, in his view, was “not up to par”. What’s worse, he’s proud of it. “Call me racist, call me a misogynist, call me homophobic, call me a scammer,” he said in the documentary. “I’m all those things.”
Not exactly the kind of man you’d trust with 132,000 followers on TikTok. Now, thanks to Theroux’s documentary, we know even more details about Sullivan’s journey into the manosphere, including the upbringing that may have helped shape him. Turns out, that while many people are only just being introduced to Harrison, lots more are already familiar with his father. Here’s everything you need to know.

Who is Harrison Sullivan’s dad?
Although it’s revealed in the documentary that Sullivan was primarily raised by his mother, it’s his dad who’s getting most of the attention. He’s the son of former rugby player Victor Ubogu, who played for the England national rugby union team between 1992 and 1999.
