American singer Todrick Hall has reportedly cancelled all interviews following backlash he faced for his behaviour on Celebrity Big Brother.
The 36-year-old, who rose to stardom after reaching the semi-finals of American Idol in 2010, came second place on the reality show, losing out to UFC fighter Miesha Tate.
Now, following heavy criticism from viewers, Hall has cancelled interviews and refused to have any conversations with the media.
In addition to his singing talent, Hall is a popular YouTuber and celebrity choreographer and has made appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
However, he lost support and fans with comments he made in the Celebrity Big Brother house, with viewers accusing of him of being tactical and playing games.
One viewer highlighted one of Hall’s worst moments saying: ‘Todrick Hall repeated the same terrifying thing that Shana’s home invader said to her in the most terrifying moment in her life, which she told him earlier in the season.’
Other viewers were shocked at comments Hall made regarding paying his video editors little money because he views their work as ‘time off’ for them.

Hall’s former employees are also speaking out against him. His former assistant claims the influencer was difficult to work with, and shared views on his social media, tagging #TodrickExposedParty.
Other employees have also spoken out, with one tweeting: ‘Mind games are his specialty and my time with him completely broke me.’
His ex-housemate on the show, Different Strokes actor Todd Bridges spilled the tea on Hall’s real behaviour calling him a ‘bull**** artist’.
Following his elimination, Bridges told US Weekly: ‘Todrick was amazing at convincing us of – excuse my language – bull****.
‘He was amazing at that. I never met a better bull**** artist than him.’

He added that he would withdraw any support he had for Hall to win the $250,000 (£187,000) prize, saying: ‘It’s OK to play to win, but not to play evil to win.’
Fellow contestant, and Khloe Kardashian’s ex, Lamar Odom also spoke to US Weekly about Hall’s behaviour, adding: ‘It was hard for him to stop talking about himself.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted Hall’s representatives for a comment.
