Troye Sivan has responded to Channel Seven airing a cringeworthy segment about him in the latest episode of a new show.
The new talking head series Now and Then features Boomer, Millennial and Generation Z comedians debating which generation was “ultimately the best of them all.”
And this week’s episode “pitted the generations against each other, by asking: which generation of Aussies were the hottest?”
And in one segment of the Channel Seven show, several talking heads were shown a photo of Troye, and asked for their thoughts.
Radio star Merrick Watts remarked, “Yeah, I can’t say that I find him hot.”
Comedian Denise Scott then called Troye “wussy” and someone else commented that the singer looked “weak”.
Another comedian claimed Troye “looks like Miley Cyrus” in the photo.
Troye watched the show and shared the scene to his Instagram Story, highlighting the comments with captions.
He also shared it on his Twitter, reclaiming the insult in a separate tweet, writing, “Wussy boys for life.”
“Also Miley is so hot so suck my tiddies,” he added.

Troye Sivan fans rip ‘tasteless’ TV segment
The singer’s Twitter followers also had his back, with people variously blasting the segment as “typical Channel 7”, “very strange” and “tasteless”.
“These people have very strange definitions of beauty,” another wrote.
Somebody else wrote, “This is why I don’t watch free to air Aussie TV anymore. Love you Troye.”
“The Miley one is actually a compliment,” another pointed out.
“There is something very odd about people who look like these people judging the appearance of others,” somebody else wrote.
