There’s some good news for Kevin Clant, the man responsible for Elmo’s fame, but the damage may already be done. A man in his 20’s had come out to say that he had a sexual relationship with Kevin that started when he was 16 and Kevin was 45. Kevin had denied the allegations, saying nothing between them started until his accuser was a legal adult. It’s a sad situation, especially because Kevin’s entire career deals with young kids, so this could ruin him forever…and we won’t know if the allegations were true or not. There’s definitely the possibility that the kid was 16 and lied about his age (we’ve all done that…) or even was legal but is mad at Kevin right now and wanted to do something to spite him. However, it could also be true…who knows! Either way, the accuser has recanted his claims after a settlement was put on the table. Details below. Marisa Mendez
