Todrick Hall addresses The Real Friends of WeHo backlash in a letter to the LGBTQ+ community
Todrick Hall has addressed The Real Friends of WeHo backlash in a letter to the LGBTQ+ community. On 20 January, the controversial reality show made its debut on the music-based network.
Taking inspiration from the hit Real Housewives franchise, the series follows the lives of six gay men in West Hollywood: Canada’s Drag Race judge Brad Goreski, singer Todrick Hall, actor Curtis Hamilton, television host Jaymes Vaughan and influencer Joey Zauzig.
However before its divisive premiere, the show received backlash from LGBTQ+ viewers after the new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race was shortened from 60 minutes to 40 (without ads) to make room for the new series.
According to Deadline, the show’s timeslot – which is after Drag Race and before Untucked – is meant to build a “destination night by using [Drag Race] to launch the series.
