Twitter Drags Todrick Hall for Joking About Shawn Mendes’ Sexuality
On Monday (November 26), pop superstar Shawn Mendes nearly broke the internet when his Rolling Stone interview went live. In the cover story, the 20-year-old performer addresses speculations around his sexual orientation, which he says has caused him a great deal of stress.
"I'd like to say I don't care about it, but that's not true," Mendes tells the outlet.
While Mendes' confession mostly garnered sympathy, one person apparently missed the memo: Todrick Hall.
In a now-deleted tweet, Hall tweets to the "Stitches" singer calling "dibs" if he ever decides to "come out" in the future. Many Twitter users felt Hall's tweet was insensitive since Mendes just admitted to feeling anxious about the rumors.
Hall quickly realized the error of his ways and tweeted an apology.
"Sorry about that tweet," said the 33-year-old entertainer. "I tweeted between scenes trying to be supportive but realized it was problematic. Was not trying to be insensitive."
