LOS ANGELES: Fox TV’s Teen Choice Awards become controversial after the allegations that there were rigging in voting process.
According to the reports, Fox TV’s Teen Choice Awards (TCA) 2014 were in for an unexpected angry rebuttal as the Twitter trend of #TeensChoiceAwards was overtaken by #TeensDontHaveAChoiceAwards.
Teen Choice Awards show was co-hosted by Tyler Posey of Teen Wolf and Sarah Hyland of Modern Family.
Hosts have confirmed that 165 million votes were cast online for the 16th annual awards.
Fox’s TCA, which is a highly awaited event amongst young people, hands out surfboard trophies to movie, music, TV and fashion icons, that bag the highest teen votes.
Reports claim that the show was backfired when these stars exposed the rigged voting procedure on Twitter.
After losing the “Choice Web Star: Male” to famous Youtube personality, Tyler Oakley (25 years old with 2.85 million followers), Vine sensation Cameron Dallas (18 year old with 3.31 m followers) started to tweet bitterly about how the voting had been rigged.
According to Washington Post, Dallas won the “Choice Viner”, but was apparently still bitter to lose in the “Web Star” category to Oakley.
The star tweeted during the show, “It’s funny how they told me I won the viner award 6 days before the voting ended and made the runners up still vote to tweet for them.”
Following the footsteps of Dallas, Matt Espinosa (16 years old with 1.91 million followers), another upset Vine celebrity and nominee of the same category, also joined the argument and seemed upset that the producers encouraged him to ask for votes even when they knew he had lost.
“Basically they picked the people almost 6 days before voting was done and used all of us for promotion,” he tweeted.
However, the tweets from both (Cameron Dallas and Matt Espinosa) were later deleted.
