Could it be Justin Timberlake confirming that his relationship with Jessica Biel is a sham, as many of us already believed? Could it be Drew Lachey, father of two and brother of Nick Lachey, that well-known poonmonger (can one sibling mong all the poon from another? Not as in cockblocking, but as in parasitically in the womb or during early childhood? Let’s research that one). Or it could it be another boy from the hoards of bands who is following in the footsteps of Ricky Martin and Lance Bass?
Now let’s see who’s right …
It’s Jonathan Knight from New Kids on the Block! I hope you didn’t think it was Justin Timberlake, and you were finding it out this way instead of by the certain explosion of the Internet that would follow such news. That would be embarrassing.
Here’s the statement from Jonathan, inspired by an accidental outing by Tiffany during an interview earlier this week:
To all my fans who have expressed concern: I have never been outed by anyone but myself. I did so almost twenty years ago. I never knew that I would have to do it all over again publicly just because I reunited with NKOTB! I have lived my life very openly and have never hidden the fact that I am gay. Apparently the prerequisite to being a gay public figure is to appear on the cover of a magazine with the caption, ‘I am gay’.
I love living my life being open and honest, but at this time I choose not to discuss my private life any further! My fellow band members don’t discuss their private lives with their loved ones and I don’t feel that just because I am gay, I should have to discuss mine!
Good for you, Jonathan, I’m glad that you’re so open about everything. I hope this means that you can get some fast company tossed your way on your upcoming tour!
