Well now we have our answer. Earlier we shared the story about some photos that had people assuming free agent Kerry Rhodes was gay (you can see them HERE). Well he has responded to the rumors. Check out what he had to say…
Via TMZ:
NFL star Kerry Rhodes — who’s been in the league since 2005 — tells TMZ he’s not gay … despite reports suggesting otherwise.
Photos surfaced Thursday on MediaTakeOut.com showing 30-year-old Rhodes with his arm around a male friend. The site didn’t say outright Rhodes was gay, but there was a strong insinuation … not that there’s anything wrong with it.
But Rhodes says he’s as straight as an arrow — telling TMZ, “Photos have been circulating of my former assistant and I that have caused some rumors regarding my sexuality, and I wanted to address the situation.”
Rhodes then says flatly, “I am not gay.”
Rhodes explains: “The shots were taken during a past vacation in a casual environment with my entire business team.”
Rhodes says when it comes to being supportive of gay professional athletes coming out, he’s on Magic Johnson’s team: “I know a lot of people are recently talking about athletes struggling to come out to their fans right now, and I support them, as well as wish those individuals comfort.”
