Celebrity Big Brother: Why Todrick Has Been Exposed & Canceled By Fans

According to fans, Todrick Hall has become the official “villain” of Celebrity Big Brother 3 due to several things he has said and done over the course of the season. Singer, songwriter, and YouTube star Todrick Hall had always been a controversial figure but chose to join Celebrity Big Brother 3 in an attempt to show a different side of himself. Following the huge success of the Cookout on Big Brother 23 Todrick befriended those players and started a clear campaign to get cast in the Celebrity spinoff.

In 2022, Todrick was indeed cast on CBB3 and had most of the Big Brother 23 cast members rooting for him after they all became close friends. Alas, it didn’t take very long for viewers to turn on Todrick as the season went on and he started to engage in a few problematic situations within the game. With Celebrity Big Brother 3 ending this week, it’s time to look back at the specific statements and actions that prompted fans to cancel Todrick on the show.

Everything Todrick Said To/About Shanna

The biggest issue that fans have had with Todrick on CBB3 has been the things he’s said and done to fan-favorite Shanna Moakler. During one particular interaction, Cynthia Bailey and Carson Kressley told Todrick about the time when a man invaded Shanna’s home, tapped on her window, and told her, “Don’t be too hard on me.” Upon retelling this story on Celebrity Big Brother, Shanna told her costars that this was one of the “most painful, terrible things” she had ever experienced in her life. Later in the season, Todrick repeated the “don’t be too hard on me” phrase to Shanna without any regard for what she had been through. Besides that very specific case, Todrick was also seen in the Big Brother live feeds a few times shaming the clothes that Shanna wore inside the house, dismissing her career, and suggesting that she was a bad role model for little girls watching the show.

Todrick Brought Up Chris Kirkpatrick’s Son

For some odd reason, bringing up young family members has become a recurring strategy/jab for disgruntled players trying to hurt a Big Brother costar on the show. For instance, Paulie Calafiore infamously brought up Da’Vonne Rogers’ daughter while they were in the BB18 jury house, which almost escalated to a physical altercation between them. Recently, fans were heartbroken by Kyland Young ending his BB23 journey by bringing up Xavier Prather’s nephew during his eviction. On CBB3, Todrick brought up Chris Kirkpatrick’s son and questioned how he would see his father on the show, suggesting that he was dishonoring his own kid.

Todrick Dismissed Other Black Contestants In The Game

Todrick entered CBB3 after watching the impact that the Cookout had on Big Brother 23. While the Cookout did face a few challenges within the alliance and had a few of its members going head-to-head, Todrick took things one step further and seemed to completely dismiss the other Black players who were with him on Celebrity Big Brother. One of his most memorable statements can be watched in the video above.

Todrick’s Comments About Tamar Braxton

Singer, actress, and TV host Tamar Braxton won Celebrity Big Brother 2 back in 2019 and became the first-ever Black contestant to win a US season of Big Brother. She has also collaborated on a few songs with Todrick out in the real world. Alas, Todrick took the time to give Tamar a backhanded compliment in the house, saying: “Her personality overshadows her talent.”

Todrick Brought Up His Unpaid Dancers Controversy

For years now, Todrick has been accused by several dancers – and other creative collaborators – of not paying all of the people involved in his various music videos and productions. Many assumed that Todrick would use Celebrity Big Brother 3 to try to clean up his image and ignore these claims that have been going on for so many years. However, Todrick himself brought up this situation a few times, as seen in the tweets above.

Celebrity Big Brother season 3 is currently airing on CBS. Check out the show’s full schedule here.
