He may be the Communist darling of left-wing livestreaming, but when the cameras are off, the real Hasan Piker is shallow and ๐๐๐-driven, sources claim.
Although he recently debuted a more serious image, donning spectacles and suits for his broadcasts, those close to the 34-year-old told The Post heโs still a pervy, ๐๐๐๐-obsessed frat boy โ impulses they say get in the way of him ever realizing his goal of making it in the mainstream.
โOff camera he is very stiff and impersonal. I canโt tell how much of what he says he actually believes. He definitely leverages it to creep on women,โ a former pal told The Post.

Sources noted Piker regularly boasts about receiving ๐ท๐พ๐ญ๐ฎ photos from fans and how he claims to watch ๐๐๐๐ on a laptop dedicated to that purpose propped up on his chest so he can โstill seeโ his penis.
Piker โ who this week was banned from speaking in the UK over his extreme leftwing views โ was born in New Jersey but grew up in Istanbul, Turkey, where his parents hail from.
Sources told The Post the Piker family is wealthy, but aside from a picture of a younger Hasan on a horse in full riding gear, which he himself posted, few details of his early life are known. He has said he grew up โhorny in a repressed culture,โ until his dad allegedly helped him dodge the mandatory Turkish military draft so he could attend college in the US.
Aged 18 in 2009, Piker came to Miami where after โpartying too hardโ and scoring a dismal grade point average of just 2.9, his mother, รlker Sedef Piker, made his transfer to Rutgers, where she herself had studied Art History.

Piker joined a fraternity, Theta Delta Chi, and thoroughly embraced the frat boy lifestyle. In 2012, he wrote on Twitter: โThe Bible for our senior yearโฆ 30 reasons to go for freshman chicks,โ with a link to sexually ๐ฎ๐๐น๐ต๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฝ article on TotalFratMove.com. He graduated the following year with a degree in political science.
Piker loved the college lifestyle so much that when he moved to Los Angeles after college, he aimed to start a Theta Delta Chi frat house there. However, he instead went to work for his uncle, Cenk Uygur, at The Young Turks, an independent left-wing broadcast network.

Enjoying his first taste of being a nepo baby, Piker was heavily promoted on the channel and his show โThe Breakdownโ became a success, leading to him gaining the title of โwoke baeโ around the network.
From there he broke out on his own in 2018, broadcasting daily on Twitch, the streaming channel, sometimes for up to 12 hours per session. He has since amassed over three million followers, making him one of the most popular people on the streaming service.
Now operating out of a $2.7 million dollar home in Hollywood he bought in 2021, Piker enjoys a bachelor lifestyle, but displays lots of weird behavior.
When heโs not railing against US imperialism, showing his support for China or Cuba or saying heโd vote for terror group Hamas over the Israeli government, Piker solicits nudes from his female fans, according to a streamer he previously worked with, pictures he apparently revels in showing off to others.

Sources pointed out instances where Piker had been on-stream and ๐ฎ๐๐น๐ธ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฎ๐๐น๐ต๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฝ pics. Once while broadcasting with QT Cinderella, she looked on as he opened a clearly ๐ฎ๐๐น๐ต๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฝ image while broadcasting. On another occasion he left his phone with streamer Pokimane while off camera, and she also โstumbledโ across ๐ฎ๐๐น๐ต๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฝ content on his phone.
YouTuber Mizkif also claimed he had seen hundreds of nudes on the hostโs phone. Piker did not return The Postโs requests for comment for this article.
Seedy Piker โ who claims to have slept with over 300 women โ also gleefully showed off all the nudes he was getting sent on Snapchat as part of an article by Cosmopolitan magazine in 2018.

The article described how his messages are โabout 70 percent nudesโ and then quotes Piker as he scrolled trough them, saying: โWhoa, thatโs crazy โฆ That was, like, actually her blowing someone. โฆ I donโt ever, like, talk to any of these people. โฆ Thatโs butt stuff. Cool.โ
โHaving Snapchat as a male celebrity is a huge red flag to begin with,โ noted one source, noting the app is mainly used by teenagers.
Piker has also admitted to sending nudes of other people to Will Neff, his streamer and pal, raising concerns over issues of consent.
He even joked about keeping a โboobs of noteโ list, he said in one stream, adding: โThe boobs I sendโฆ every now and then I see a pair that is concussion inducing and Iโll send it to Will.โ In the video, one of his male companions says โadd me to that list,โ while a female deadpans: โLet me know where that list is, so I know not to look at it.โ

Piker also previously discussed his penchant for webcam ๐๐๐ in a livestream, saying he keeps his camera off โto protect my identityโ while getting off on those on the other side of it.
Another source who spoke to The Post on condition of anonymity simply described Piker as a โpathological liar.โ
Piker, who appears to be single and still broadcasts around seven hours a day, appears quite insatiable. Neff recently described a night out with him as like โgoing out with a zealot who could only be satiated by intercourseโ.
His ๐๐๐๐ obsession extends to posting video from the adult entertainment XBIZ awards and having an on-off relationship with ๐๐๐๐ star Janice Griffith up until 2020. On previous streams heโs admitted to having ๐๐๐ with prostitutes and visiting a brothel in Germany for ๐๐๐.
Piker has also drawn scrutiny for comments involving disgraced music mogul Sean Combs, better known as Diddy, who is currently in federal prison on prostitution related charges.

โI would love to hang in Diddyโs Ciroc [vodka] entourage and trickle-down bang anything thrown his way,โ Piker tweeted in 2012.
Years later, he claimed to have actually attended a Diddy afterparty at Coachella music festival, where โsome real weird โฆ pedo thingโ featuring a โvery young girlโ was allegedly playing on a screen.
Aside from ๐๐๐, Pikerโs political screeds have turned out very lucrative, if earning him mockery for his lavish โchampagne socialistโ lifestyle. He may rail against wealth inequality but lives alongside the Los Angeles influencer elite and ๐ต๐ฎ๐ช๐ด๐ฎ๐ญ Twitch payout data previously showing he earned more than $2 million from the platform alone over a two-year span.

Nowhere was his hypocrisy more prominently on display than when he went on a humanitarian aid flotilla trip to Cuba earlier this year, and broadcasted while wearing Cartier designer sunglasses worth around $1,300.
While Piker praised the island and its leadership, the trip itself is said to be under federal scrutiny for potentially breaking the US embargo on the island.
Sources say this is a huge blow to Piker, saying he is โdefinitely most worried about the legal trouble,โ something he admitted to, saying the probe into him and 40 others from the trip was โnot great,โ and that he is โabout to be seemingly made an example of.โ
In addition to being worried about criminal charges, Piker is โobsessed with his public image and wants desperately to be seen and accepted as mainstream, [but] stuff like this makes it difficult for him, and he knows that,โ one source added.
โHeโs usually very careful and media trained and this Cuba trip was a major faux pas,โ he added.

That has only been compounded by Pikerโs visa to speak in the UK being rescinded just before he was due to travel this week, with the government only saying it was โon the grounds that [his] presence in the UK may not be conducive to the public good.โ
\On his stream Monday Piker vented his frustrations with the organizers of the event he was due to speak at and compared himself to communist theorist Karl Marx.
He said: โIโm doing this as a favor and then itโs crazy that once the [UK] Home Office intervened and revoked my visa โฆ they just deleted my [speaker] page [on their site].
โEngland has quite literally offered refuge to some of the most controversial thinkers, like Karl Marx.โ
