In the 90's there were few boy bands as huge and as adored as New Kids on the Block. But all that adoration from girls was key to their success. Which meant hiding who you are.
Jonathon Knight, a member of the band, was on Lance Bass' pod cast Monday and said that he was strictly forbidden to reveal his true sexuality by his manager.
“He pulled me aside and was like, ‘If anybody finds out, your career is over. The New Kids’ career is over. My career is over,'” Knight alleged.
The 54-year-old went on to describe the anxiety he experienced at the time.
“The stress built up and built up and built up,” he recalled. “It was crazy.”
In 2009 he was publicly outted but that seems to have led to better things.
These days he lives happily in Massachusettes with his husband Harley who he married in during Covid lockdown.

A signed Kobe Bryant Jersey from the Los Angeles Lakers is coming to auction and could promise to bring in huge money.
Sotheby's is putting Kobe's team shirt on the chopping block where estimates say it could reach as much as $7,000,000!
And often when they assess sports and entertainment memorabilia they guess significantly lower than is eventually realized. Emotions run high at these auctions and take on a life of their own.
The jersey was worn by Bryant, a five-time NBA champion, over 25 games, Sotheby's said in a statement announcing the auction.
Bryant's jersey is the same one he wore in Game 2 of the Western Conference first round 2008, when he made a 3-point shot, screamed in excitement and grabbed the jersey after giving the Lakers a 14-point lead against the Denver Nuggets.

Beverly Hill Housewife Lisa Rinna is leaving the show she's been so controversial on for 8 seasons, so who could replace her?
TMZ saw show OG Kyle Richards out to dinner last night and asked her who she thought should be the next housewife now that Lisa is out.
Kyle didn't take even a second to blurt out her answer. Chrissy Teigan!
Chrissy and Kyle have been friends for years as evident in the photo above. That was from a party in 2019. Credit to TMZ.
I'm not sure Chrissy would be willing to risk the often brutal editing done by Bravo after being semi-canceled a year ago for being outed as a prolific online bully.
That's a shame too, because 2020 Chrissy Teigan would have been PERFECT for that show.

Last year eccentric actor Ezra Miller was accused of stealing bottles of liquor from his neighbor's house in Vermont. As a result, he was in court last week to plead to the charges.
The 30-year-old copped to a single, lesser charge of unlawful trespassing.
"Ezra Miller pled guilty this morning to a misdemeanor unlawful trespass in Vermont Superior Court and accepted the conditions imposed by the court," Miller's attorney, Lisa Shelkrot, tells Yahoo Entertainment in a statement. "Ezra would like to thank the court and the community for their trust and patience throughout this process, and would once again like to acknowledge the love and support they have received from their family and friends, who continue to be a vital presence in their ongoing mental health."
Court documents obtained by NBC News showed prosecutors proposed Miller face 89 to 90 days in a suspended sentence, plus a year probation and $500 fine. Miller was facing more than 20 years behind bars for the felony burglary charge.
Now it seems he wont likely have to worry about any of that. Miller agreed to several conditions as a part of the deal, including abstaining from alcohol, submitting to random drug tests, and a commitment to continue seeking mental health treatment.

Jeopardy hosts Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik have both been tasked with hosting the beloved show now that they were officially chosen by producers.
Ken started out the 39th season in September, but Mayim was expected to take over in January 2023 and Ken goes to his other show, Master Minds.
But now Michael Davies, executive producer, says things were moved around because of show restraints.
"The fact is, we have so much Jeopardy! to make, and so many plans for the future, that we always knew we would need multiple hosts for the franchise and we are just so grateful that Mayim and Ken stepped in and stepped up to put the show in a position to succeed," Davies said. "And succeed it has."
Bialik, on the other hand, is now not expected to take over until Feb. 20, when the High School Reunion Tournament begins.
"Originally, we did think Mayim was going to come back in January," Jeopardy! producer Sarah Whitcomb Foss said during the podcast. "Her Call me Kat schedule, it evolved, so we are seeing her a little later than we had anticipated. But not for any lack of wanting to have both of our hosts on the show as much as possible—just scheduling. Mayim is a busy, busy woman! We're excited, though, to have her back."

Shark Tanks Robert Herjavec may have been born in Canada to a poor immigrant, but these days he's about as far from that life as one can get. Proof? How about paying $26 million for a house?
The house has all the standard mansion rooms... Movie theater, spa, multiple bars, two islands in the kitchen... only some how it actually feels relaxed. Probably all the natural stone and wood throughout.
At a whopping 14,678 square feet, this tank could house lots of sharks.
