Disney’s latest move under the rainbow standard is threatening to take the popular “Family Feud” down after an all “trans” team competing for prostitutes had viewers threatening a boycott.
What was meant to be some summer fun appeared to take the “family” directly out of “Celebrity Family Feud” when DJ and music producer Diplo’s family went up against Laverne Cox and his team of men styling themselves as women. Of course, it wasn’t merely the inclusion that had show fans tuning out as the crass comments and innuendos seemingly stretched beyond the norm for the survey guessing competition.
Before premiering on Disney-owned ABC on July 31 and in the days since it aired, the program’s social media has endeavored to hype up the episode alongside the other celebrity matchups. However, it was the remarks made in between guesses that really turned the stomachs of viewers at home.
In one exchange with TS Madison, who founded the charity the team was competing for, the TS Madison Starter House, host Steve Harvey asked, “Can I just call you TS?”
To that, the actor responded, “Listen, I take it short or long.”

According to its website, the charity is a “Bold Vision for Black Trans Liberation” as an “innovative housing initiative designed to support and empower Black Trans women engaged in sex work.”
In other words, the same parent company producing children’s entertainment starring Mickey Mouse and Disney princesses has no problem helping activists compete to win $25,000 for prostitutes.
Madison went on to say, “Listen, Steve Harvey, it’s okay to free ball. We’re free balling today all day.”
To that, Cox chimed in, “We are not a monolith. She’s speaking for herself. Some of us are without the B-word. So some of us are free, some of us have set them free.”
The “Orange Is The New Black” actor’s appearance on the program came amid publicity for an upcoming program, “Gurrl, How Did I Get Here?” which also found him claiming to have once dated a “blonde hair, blue-eyed MAGA Republican voter who is a New York City police officer,” more than 20 years younger than him.
Of course, the personal lives of the men on the “Feud” were less a focus of complaints as reactions on social media were instead cross with Disney and Steve Harvey for platforming deviancy as part of a program that is supposed to lean more toward family entertainment.
“This is DISGUSTING. so disappoint in @. Steve Harvey!!” wrote one X user as another sounded off, “This is repulsive. Very disappointed in Steve Harvey.”
Others similarly expressed their disgust at the “garbage” while suggesting the move would not only drive viewers away from “Family Feud,” but would also further the exodus from Disney-owned programming that has occurred in recent years as the House of Mouse aligned itself with alphabet activism.
