Now, the real reason as to why Marvin was replaced is being revealed.

Some fans speculated that Marvin was axed from Big Brother because of that reason. However, it seems that is not why he was let go from the CBS series.

This proved to be false, as he was seen on America's Got Talent and is also a rumored contestant on an upcoming Netflix series, with fans thinking he could be a contestant on the next season of The Circle.

Also, according to the same article, it was stated that Big Brother received phone calls from these other production companies and made threats about pulling Marvin from the Big Brother 24 cast.
