Todrick Hall breaks silence on controversial Celebrity Big Brother run: “I’m not always nice”
Todrick Hall has spoken out about his highly controversial appearance on Celebrity Big Brother for the first time since the season ended.
The 36-year-old appeared on the third instalment of the US edition of the show alongside Drag Race alum Carson Kressley. Despite making it to the finale, Todrick received just one vote to win from the evicted houseguests – something that has been widely attributed to his poor treatment of the jury.
Viewers and fellow contestants had a widely negative response to the singer’s behaviour in the house, partly because of comments he made about Shanna Moakler’s appearance and Chris Kirkpatrick’s family, among other things. “I haven’t avoided press because I’m afraid to comment on my experience on big brother, but more to protect myself and my mental health to make sure I could actually get my show on stage and fulfill my obligations to my fans and my PAID employees,” Todrick wrote on Instagram on 12 March, breaking his silence on the show for the first time since it came to an end.
He continued: “I have no desire to prove myself to people who were never rooting for me to begin with, but I do want to say to my fans that I will be commenting on my experience once the show is open, because I feel you deserve it.” Despite being “glad” he took part in Celebrity Big Brother, Todrick called it “the most difficult thing” he has “ever done”.
