One week after being accused of exploitation and psychological abuse by his former videographer, pop singer Todrick Hall has incurred the wrath of Twitter, this time over his problematic behavior as a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother.
The 36-year-old has emerged as something as a villain this season, having endured criticism for comments about housemates Chris Kirkpatrick and Shanna Moakler.
Hall mocked Kirkpatrick for his strategic choices on the program and said that the former *NSYNC member “made millions of dollars by working far less than I have had to work.” He also made fun of Moakler for her appearance, alienating his other castmates and viewers in the process.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Last week, the former Miss USA responded by criticizing Hall in an interview with US Weekly, saying, “I don’t think anyone respects [Hall’s] gameplay because he doesn’t really make it about the game. He makes it kind of personal… He hasn’t done anything in this game except be shady and lie to people.”
Now, Big Brother fans on Twitter have officially declared war on Hall.
User @RainyMess started a thread to list all of Hall’s nasty comments and behavior during his stint on the show. At the time of this writing, it has received more than 220 retweets, nearly 50 quote tweets, and almost 1,400 likes. In addition, @RainyMess has also listed additional examples of nastiness on the part of Hall in the Big Brother house.

Highlights of the thread include Hall attacking the other African-American members of the cast, trashing Moakler’s appearance, belittling the show as a “small” opportunity, and boasting about how little he pays his employees.
At the time of this writing, Hall has not commented publicly on the Twitter thread, though the singer did quietly turn off comments for his Instagram posts after people began spamming his account for his treatment of Moakler.
The criticism of Hall also comes following claims by former employees of abuse. A videographer who toured with Hall in 2018 released a statement on Twitter last week claiming that the singer psychologically abused employees, was late on paychecks, denied crew meals and used forced him to work as a stagehand. Other employees have previously accused Hall of not paying them for their work and implied that he had been accused of sexual harassment.
At present, Hall is one of three final contestants on Celebrity Big Brother. The season finale will air on February 23.

“At present, Hall is one of three final contestants on Celebrity Big Brother.”
Well, then, he’s doing it right, eh?

Hall also got some bad P.R. when a bunch of former employees said he hadn’t paid them, and I remember he got into trouble for seeming to slander an EX and ended up deleting the post.
I don’t watch the show so hadn’t really heard about all of this, but it sounds kind of on brand.

I watched a few shows and thought of him as an asshole. He isn’t playing the game, he’s being a bitchy asshole.
BarryM
He’s ugly and very unappealing, too.
curiobi
@BarryM, is he ugly? Or is this about this screen name being racist every chance it gets.
Ouranos
Oh he’s ugly inside and out
okokwhatever
What?! Of course, he’s ugly. Ray Charles can see that. And he’s blind and dead.
Cam
@okokwhatever,
Your comment would mean more if we didn’t already know that this screename is from the same troll account BarryM is from.
okokwhatever
Cam: LMFAOTP!
I am not BarryM, dude. Never have been. Quit with this crap, ok? Your mom’s calling. She needs her wheel barrel of food.

when the straight people play the game in a manner that is far worse than Todrick has played nobody bats and eye. I also do not understand why other gays are hating on him we should cheering him on. Todrick is responsible for his own behavior just as we are. it speaks volumes on the gay community that we cant even be supportive of another member of our community . That means if Todrick wins he will be the first black gay guy to win. the gay community needs to take some time to self reflect and be aware of how they represent the community because when you see comments like he is ugly and unappealing or ugly inside and out do we sound like hypocrites calling for acceptance when we cant even practice that amongst the community if you dont like the way Todrick plays then why are you watching big brother unless your issue is your jealous that him and not you. >feel free to disagree I’ve said my peace and moving on, have a good day !
