Big Brother: Performers weren't happy Simon Gross was in the house and took to Twitter to complain with #AbusedBySimonGross

Simon Gross was the first housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house and, as they say, karma can come right back to bite you in the jazz hands.

Performers from all walks of life took to Twitter to complain about his presence in the house as they claim he had a history of not paying professionals for their work.

Not only did the ex-housemate withhold from paying, he has also been accused of verbally abusing his staff.

The hashtag took off on Twitter back in February, but gained popularity when news spread that Simon would be entering the Big Brother house.

Twitter user Candice Conway wrote "How can @bbuk condone a bully to enter the house? A man who owes people money and has treated people so disgracefully #abusedbysimongross"

And James Foster added "In desperation for fame, not only has Simon Gross been humiliated but he's let more ppl discover what he's really about! #AbusedBySimonGross"

Simon's solicitor contacted Vanity von Glow and others, asking them to "remove any tweets containing this hashtag and to undertake not to participate any further in this tortious conspiracy to injure our client's lawful and economic interests."

Vanity took to Twitter last night to post her reaction to Simon being booted from the show.

Simon spoke to reporters this morning about the hashtag saying, "Basically, I mean I'm laughing because this happened in 2002. I put on a production in Central London and the show didn't work. The reason it didn't work is because July was a really hot month, it was underground in a venue in the Charring Cross area, and people just didn't come and see the show. I put all my money into the venue.

He added "The venue wanted me to guarantee it, I guaranteed it, and because the show didn't do anything I had to declare myself bankrupt. Which for somebody - I'm 46 now we're talking 2002, can't remember what age I was - but it was very, very, very hard. I had to go and declare myself bankrupt and people won't leave me alone about it.

"They just keep going on and on and on about it and just won't let me move on. I would apologise for anything if I had to, but at the end of the day I went bankrupt because I put on a production and it just didn't work, and it just seems that people won't let me move on. Big Brother was the next chapter of my life to try and move on and try and put the past behind me."

Simon was evicted after less than two hours on the show, could this be karma?
