Bryce Hall responds to backlash over leaked Brock Pierce endorsement DMs Instagram: Bryce Hall\/ Wikimedia Commons: DavidCLeePhotography, CC BY-SA 4.0 With the US elections just around the corner, everyone \u2013 including famous TikTokers \u2013 is gearing up to cast a vote that will change the shape of the country\u2019s future. However, Bryce Hall was on the receiving end of criticism after a leaked conversation seemed to confirm that he was voting for third party candidate, Brock Pierce. It seems like wherever Bryce Hall goes, drama isn\u2019t too far behind. Only this week, he has been warring with Sway House co-founder Thomas Petrou for reaching out in order to start \u201cfake beef\u201d as well as finding himself in a brawl with restaurant employees, with the LAPD later filing a felony battery report over it. This time, fans were upset after leaked messages appeared to confirm that Hall was not only endorsing third candidate Brock Pierce, but was also planning on voting for him. Quick to dispel these rumors alongside fan suspicion over his reason for visiting Wyoming, Hall posted a Tweet explaining that the only reason he was to use his influence for good: namely, by \u201cencourag[ing] the youth to get involved in the political process\u201d. im in wyoming to encourage the youth to get involved in the political process and to see a state ive never been to. i was making a joke with an acquaintance, he decided to be an asshole and share it. the only person I endorse for president is mamma hall. take that to the bank \u2014 Bryce Hall (@BryceHall) October 25, 2020 Referring to the leaked messages, where he seems to confirm he\u2019s voting for Pierce, Hall claims that he was merely \u201cmaking a joke with an acquaintance,\u201d who then \u201cdecided to be an a**hole and share it\u201d. \u201cThe only person I endorse for president is Mamma Hall. Take that to the bank,\u201d he quipped. However, not all fans were satisfied with his response, with one Twitter user arguing that voting for a third candidate isn\u2019t something to joke about. The fan said: \u201cThe thing is this isn\u2019t something to joke about though? As a black supporter, it\u2019s frustrating because advocating for a third party is advocating for someone who wants to take away my basic human rights so no Bryce I\u2019m not laughing.\u201d the thing is this isnt something to joke about tho? as a black supporter its frustrating because advocating for a third party is advocating for someone who wants to take away my basic human right so no bryce im not laughing \u2014 sarah\u2606*:\uff65\uff9f\u2727 l\u2606 \u00b9\u1d30 l matt\u2019s day (@GRACEFULGRIFF) October 25, 2020 What I\u2019m understanding here is that Bryce here isn\u2019t aloud to support who he believes in, am I getting that right? \u2014 Lord Pippin (DW) (@redroserevolver) October 25, 2020 Other fans, however, showed support for Hall, with one Twitter user saying: \u201cWhat I\u2019m understanding here is that Bryce here isn\u2019t allowed to support who he believes in, am I getting that right?\u201d Why did fans think Hall was endorsing Brock Pierce? Fans initially became suspicious when Hall posed for a selfie outside Pierce\u2019s presidential campaign van. Soon after, entrepreneur Mahbod Moghadam leaked a conversation he has with Hall about Pierce where, after discussing Hall\u2019s upcoming interview with the candidate for his podcast, he told Moghadam that Pierce \u201cwas an interesting guy\u201d who \u201chad my vote.\u201d Brock Pierce later shared the exchange on his Instagram story. Many fans resulted with outrage at this apparent endorsement, with many of them accusing Hall of using his platform irresponsibly. One fan said: \u201cMust be nice to have the privilege of not caring who to endorse in this election and influencing your followers to vote for a third party.\u201d this is so embarrassing to see\u2026 must be nice having the privilege of not caring who to endorse this election and influencing your followers to vote for a third part which\u2026 guess what!!! is a vote for trump!!! pic.twitter.com\/bRyOBXtMVd \u2014 spooky michele (@wavymichele) October 24, 2020 Several other fans accused him of encouraging fans to \u201cwaste\u201d their vote, with one Twitter user asking: \u201cDoes he even realize what this does?! I\u2019m so disappointed.\u201d While Hall seems to have poured cold water over a possible Brock Pierce endorsement, it is clear that he has some way to go before he regains fans\u2019 trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
