TMZ reports that current Big Brother contestant Shelly Moore and her family are receiving death threats because viewers are angry over her eviction of fellow contestant, Jeff Schroeder.
Sources close to Shelly told TMZ that Shelly’s husband and 8-year old daughter have received several phone calls containing threats of violence. Even Shelly’s employer has received demands via phone calls that the company fire Shelly for the way she has voted.
Big Brother Executive Producer Allison Grodner said via Twitter: “No matter how much you dislike an HG, this is wrong! True BB fans do not try to ruin lives. Please stop!”
Shelly and Jordan Lloyd, Jeff’s girlfriend who is still playing on Big Brother, were caught on the live feeds having a fight (Click to watch) after Jeff was evicted. Hopefully the fact that Jordan has forgiven Shelly since the fight and Jeff’s departure will cool down the threats against Shelly’s family.
