Big Brother
Shelly's Family Receives
Death Threats Over Jeff's Eviction

0828_shelly+big_brother_ex_2
"Big Brother" contestant Shelly Moore pissed off America when she voted to evict fan favorite Jeff Schroeder last week -- and now TMZ has learned her family has been receiving death threats from deranged fans because of the move.

Sources close to Shelly tell us ... the reality star's family has received multiple phone calls from people threatening violence ... even making threats against Shelly's 8-year-old daughter.

We're told Shelly's employer has also been receiving harassing phone calls -- demanding the company fire Shelly immediately because of the way she voted on the show.

Sources tell us Shelly's family is preparing to get the FBI involved -- because they're taking the threats VERY seriously.

UPDATE: "Big Brother" Executive Producer Allison Grodner released a statement on Twitter ... saying, "No matter how much you dislike an HG, this is wrong! True BB fans do not try to ruin lives. Please stop!"

This just shows you how sad, sick and pathetic some people are. Its a freaking Reality TV Show! I mean it takes a real special breed of lowlife to be so invested in a TV show that he or she would be driven to threaten the life of the family of one of the shows contestants just because they don't like her. I mean I watch the show and there have been a few people on the show I didn't like or thought were jerks or wenches but I could never hate them enough to wish harm upon them or their family. People who do are just s*** from the bottom of the shallow end of the gene pool. I hope they do get arrested even though chances are the turds will never be caught.

It is sad commentary on the state of people's lives when they become so wrapped up in a "reality" show that they would threaten someone's life. Stop living vicariously through people on TV playing out scripted events designed by producers who could not care less about you or your life. Just turn it off! Read a book. Go to the park. Make friends of your own. In other words - get a life!

If Jeff really isn't the Douchebag that he appears to be, he would make a statement or something else to call these hags off. This crap is stupid and sad.

I think it is horrible that people would threated Shellys family over this, but I think that saying people are upset with Shelly for how she voted is a definite understatement. People are upset with Shelly because she is a liar and a hypocrite who it tooting herself as a wonderful person over-flowing with integrity. I think her family should not have to deal with all of this, as for her employer - I really would not want to associate my business with this type of character.

I enjoy Big Brother and have since the first one they have, this stuff being pulled is sick. Sites are standing up to as hard as they can. Alison, producer of Big Brother, has been tweeting very strong stances to this. If you run into a hate shelly site, report it for removal. It is ok to be a fan of any of the house guests but remember it is a game and they are there to take 1/2 a million dollars home. They aren't there to make friends.

The family of Shelly's doesn't deserve this, her employer doesnt' deserve this. I didn't like her moves, but at least she wasn't napping all the time! good grief people go take a hike and enjoy the scenery and don't take reality tv to the height of it being your own life!

To shelly's family, she is trying and the edits are to slant it and those who watch the live feeds know this. She isnt' my pick, but I do give her applause in trying to play a GAME

I am sorry what show is this? It goes in the same file folder as dancing with the stars and jersey shore never watched and not interested. If you want a quality family tv show gather the kids around the ole tube when family guy is on.

CBS and Big Brother production staff are orchestrating this whole lie.....they're wildly exaggerating the threats because of "Rule # 1....People are stupid!" Then these people post stories and comments on sites like TMZ and RealityTV.com, which then gets the "mouthbreathers" riled up and boosts their ratings.....DUH!!
