Jerry Hall's Quirky 'Celebrity Traitors' Performance Draws 'Moira Rose' Comparisons
Viewers are amused by Jerry Hall's distinctive accent and unique observations on the reality show, likening her to Catherine O'Hara's beloved character.
Jerry Hall has become a standout personality on Celebrity Traitors, captivating audiences with her eccentric theories and distinctive vocal delivery, which have led many viewers to compare her to Moira Rose, the iconic character from the acclaimed television series Schitt's Creek. Her observations, particularly those made after contestants have been eliminated, have drawn considerable attention.
In a recent episode, Hall voiced suspicions about contestant Myha'la, who had already been revealed as a Faithful. Hall commented that Myha'la had "stopped wearing makeup… That was suspicious," a remark that prompted fellow contestant James Acaster to remind her that Myha'la's status as a Faithful had already been confirmed. This exchange led to jokes about the group revisiting outdated theories.
The comparison to Moira Rose, portrayed by the late Catherine O'Hara, has been a recurring theme since the show's inception. Viewers have noted Hall's elaborate Texan drawl and her use of formal language, such as announcing she "hath risen," as mirroring Moira's grandiose vocabulary and dramatic flair. Other perceived similarities include both women's extravagant glamour, strong personal style, tendency to inhabit their own world, and a natural inclination towards accidental comedy. Both Hall and the Moira Rose character are also seen as embodying an unapologetic sense of self, unafraid to be distinctive.
Specific moments, like Hall's pronunciation of "baby" as "be-beh" while speaking to host Romesh Ranganathan, have further fueled the comparisons on social media platforms. Online reactions included comments such as, "Jerry Hall saying be-beh and cementing her Moira Rose likeness was, insane," and "I can only hear Jerry Hall's accent as Moira Rose."
Beyond her role in Celebrity Traitors, the notes also touched upon Hall's personal history, including her past relationship with Mick Jagger. She recounted how she persuaded the Rolling Stones frontman to marry her by wearing a wedding dress every day for seven years until he agreed. Their unofficial ceremony in Bali in 1990 was later deemed void by the UK High Court following their split. Hall and Jagger were together from 1977 to 1999 and share four children. Despite their separation, Hall described Jagger as "a lot of fun and a great dad" and acknowledged that she had forgiven his alleged infidelity numerous times, though she later characterized the relationship as unhealthy and a source of significant unhappiness for her. She also expressed a desire for her daughters to avoid dating men with similar relationship patterns, noting their greater confidence and stronger boundaries compared to her own experiences.
