Todrick Hall Speaks Out on His 'Big Brother' Stint

Out singer, YouTuber, and reality show contestant Todrick Hall spoke for the first time about his controversial turn on "Celebrity Big Brother," Us Magazine reported.

Hall narrowly missed winning the recently-completed third season of the reality show, in which celebrities share a house and make alliances in order to avoid the weekly evictions. Hall reportedly canceled interviews after not having won the show, but taking to Instagram on March 12, Hall briefly addressed the controversy.

"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," the Broadway veteran and "RuPaul's Drag Race" choreographer posted on March 12, the day his world tour was slated to start.

"I have no desire to prove myself to people who were never rooting for me to begin with," Hall posted, "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."

The singer and "American Idol" alumnus said that being on "Celebrity Big Brother" was "the most difficult thing I've ever done, but I'm glad I did it."

Adding that he is "a human being, a real one," and admitting that he is "not always nice, not always kind nor have I ever claimed to be," Hall told his followers that he's "a work in progress, but that's the beauty of being human."

"I have made a ton of mistakes in my life and I will continue to make mistakes, some publicly and some privately."

As previously reported at EDGE, Hall's former housemates have been public about their discontent with him, with "Diff'rent Strokes" star Todd Bridges declaring Hall to be "a bullshit artist," and NBA champ Lamar Odom complaining about Hall "gloat[ing]" on the show.

The housemates had a chance to air their thoughts in private interviews. Shanna Moaklet – whose appearance Hall had made "comments" about, Us recalled – said that Hall "makes it kind of personal, and I think he's really just been riding the coattails of [fellow contestant] Miesha [Tate]," who was an ally to Hall.

Moaklet added that Hall "hasn't done anything in this game except be shady and lie to people."

Chris Kirkpatrick told the magazine that Hall "plays a victim all the time and is a bully."

"No one likes the way he played the game," Bridges said. "It's OK to play to win, but not to play evil to win."

In the past, Hall has denied accusations of not paying dancers and others who worked for him. He has also been accused of sexual harassment and retaliation.
