Don’t blame it on the Pinot-Noir.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Tituss Burguss has taken to Yelp to call out moving company Franks Express (sic), with whom he’d recently shared a highly unpleasant volley of texts.
So he did what anyone in their right mind would do: tweeted the entire conversation — in which the movers call him a “fucking faggot” — to his 49,000 followers:
Burgess was not about to take this lying down. No. He dragged them for filth on Twitter:
How about we take this to the next level?

Later, to demonstrate the full range of his unstoppered rage, Burgess posted a video to Instagram and recounted the whole fracas, informing Franks Express that they “fucked with the wrong queen.”
And yeah, it appears as though they did.

Some thing doesn’t sound right here. If he were that offended in those texts then why didnt he post ALL of the text? Is it possible he initiated all of it by one rude exchange to the movers? That is a hard job (moving furniture) picking up a piece of furniture weighing over one hundred pounds only to have the owner tell you they want it in another spot and then having to move to the next job can be rough.

@Bob LaBlah: Reading your posts can be rough too. You have NO IDEA what went on, so zip it, jerk!

First Titus appears to be one of those self absorbed celebrities. Who you are, what shows you’ve been on and whether you’ve been nominated for a tv cliche award is unimportant and the fact you brought it up says a lot about you and your ego.
Second, why did you continue to deal with this mover once you weren’t getting the service you wanted. Or did you just want attention.
Of course, no service provider should make their service contingent on a review.
Oh, and the purpose of reviews is to provide information so others can make informed decisions ,not to vent.
Get over yourself Titus.

Queen, neither do you. So try practicing what you preach.

Long story shortened: Don’t use these unprofessional NYC movers! Also, don’t f*ck with Miss Titus girl cause you know she’ll read for points!

The thing that I find INTERESTING is that after going to: https://www.yelp.com/biz/franks-express-brooklyn-3?sort_by=date_desc
and searching through EVERY ONE of the reviews posted, BY DATE, I found 35 reviews dated 7/13/2016, ALLEGEDLY the date that Tituss posted HIS review. NOT ONE of those reviews was posted by ANYONE named Tituss B. So He is either not being entirely TRUTHFUL,or he has REMOVED his negative review for some reason.

@jcoberkrom: Shut the fudge up. You weren’t there.
Bob LaBlah
@JAHarrell61: @JAHarrell61: SHHHHHH………Be careful. Miss Sluggo2007 might get offended and make a lame ass attempt at reading you too.
I had a sinking feeling this sounded like a crock of shit and was proven correct. The fact that the entire exchange wasn’t posted with the article was the red flag something was wrong.

@jcoberkrom: Exactly this queen needs to get over himself. But I agree that this does look fake if it really did happen. Or maybe this queen did it just for media attention since he’s a total narcissist.

@JAHarrell61: You’ll have to go to “reviews that are not recommended” in order to find Tituss’ review.

I love me some Tituss Burgess! Good for you! I had a company move me to NYC from Seattle and the methhead mover extorted an extra $1000+ before he would move my furniture into my apartment. It wasn’t worth my time or my money to argue, so I appreciate anyone who does take the time to complain.
