Unfavourable Yelp reviews come with the territory, but Titus Burgess has unleashed a fury rarely seen on the reviewing app after the “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” star was stood up by a moving company and his attempts to get some service resulted in escalating bad behaviour that led to someone from the company degrading him with a nasty homophobic slur.

“You messed with the wrong queen”, he wrote, adding brilliant hashtags like “do not threaten me, I will win”.
His scathing critique of a NY moving company is the latest to be so vicious and so viral that the company is posting a warning to anyone who logs onto the company’s Yelp page. By his account, they never showed up, threatening to not do their job unless he wrote a Yelp review.
Do you read the reviews? I called him about 9 times but he wouldnt pick up but he somehow was capable of texting. “Im (sic) going to post this to twitter to my instagram to my facebook”.
Yelp’s social media crew reached out to Burgess as well, so hopefully this issue will be dealt with in an official manner. After a long back-and-forth text exchange, Burgess fired them via text.
“The problem is that we don’t know this guy”, Guzel Gurva, a manager at Franks Express, tells EW.
The actor went to great lengths to describe how a Brooklyn-based company, called Franks Express, failed to show up after an agreed-upon appointment to move his couch.
“Please contact with our owner Frank!”

She alleges Burgess’ claim is false and that the company doesn’t take reservations by phone. As evidence, he shared a screenshot of the alleged text exchange below (we have removed the number and hateful word).
