Todrick Hall Called Out For Speculating On Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' Death In The Media

Todrick Hall might be trying to use his role on The Real Friends of WeHo to rehabilitate his career, but his mouth keeps getting him into trouble. This time, it’s regarding the death of dancer Stephen “tWitch” Boss.

In a Page Six interview promoting the series, Hall alleged that tWitch’s mental health went down because of Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show’s recent scandals.

“People were looking at him like, ‘Why are you still supporting this woman. … And I think he was under a lot of pressure,” he said during the interview. “I don’t know what was going on in his life that may [have led] him to make that decision but I do understand. … Right now when I get online some days like right now, if I was in the wrong position of where this abuse would keep happening for years and years and years, there’s only so much a human being can take.”

TMZ reported that a source who knew tWitch told the outlet that Hall has been “extremely negligent and self-serving” to “assume he knows what led to tWitch’s death.” The source also added that it was “unfortunate he would speculate, especially while promoting his own project” and that tWitch “loved his time on Ellen.”

Perhaps Hall felt he could say something because he knew tWitch, but in the Page Six video below, reposted by Twitter user @lovelyti, Hall admits he “was not super close to tWitch” despite them having talked about what it’s like to be a Black man in the industry.

Regardless, the story about tWitch’s mental health and the reasoning behind his decision-making isn’t Hall’s to tell, and fans online don’t like what Hall said.

“Todrick Hall is way out of line pretending to know Twitch’s thoughts & feeling before his death. He just wants attention as always,” wrote one commenter.

“Most of the time, there’s really just no need to speak. This is one such time,” wrote another in response to PopCrave’s post about the issue.

“Todrick Hall stop talking challenge,” wrote another commenter. “Do that challenge.”
