Others praised Deacon’s down-to-earth allure as a person wrote: “Not a regular college student, Reese Witherspoon, and Ryan Phillipe’s son, so he can get any apartment he wants. Even so, he got roommates, he looks chill.”
A person defended Deacon against the backlash: “Why are people being mean?
“He’s in school. Seems humble. Has roommates.
“Plenty of NYU student kids also come from rich families.”
Another TikTok user penned: “Honestly… it’s not outrageous, so I don’t get the hate… he even has roommates!
“Yes, they are probably all rich kids, but so what?”
Someone commented: “He is in school trying to better himself, he has roommates as well.
“If his parents have the means to provide this for him, then why are people judging?”
A TikToker user was more focused on Deacon’s impressive tidiness as they noted: “Cleanest boy apartment I’ve ever seen.”
