Official Statement

Recent Allegation
A Statement from Darren's solicitor

"Darren is unable to comment to any extent as the incident is presently under investigation by the police, with whom he has cooperated fully.

However he is deeply upset at the allegation which he strenuously denies and anyone who knows Darren will recognise that the particular nature of the allegation is totally abhorrent to him and contrary to everything for which he has stood."

      WOAH - OK, for a second there I thought the headline read "I'm Not Gay".

      Still, that would have been just as surprising… Loving the Hayes, from my home town… Dated a friend of a friend actually, who was a woman, but hey, it was the 90's. Good old QLD.

      Darren Hayes was the frontman of Savage Garden. I don't believe this is true at all. I have met him several times and been a fan for over 10 years. Anyways its sad that Darren is on Perez for this negative reason :-(

    27. Gooch says – reply to this

      I was friends with Hayes when he lived near me in San Fran about 1999. He's a righteous dude.

    28. Laury says – reply to this


      28

      Whoa, Darren was arrested? I'm not saying I thought he was a saint but… just not the kind of guy I'd see getting arrested. But I've loved him since the beginning of Savage Garden and although I really wish this isn't true, even if it is, i'll still love him.

    29. Tara says – reply to this


      29

      Anyone who has been a fan of Darren's long enough, or has had the pleasure of meeting him in person, as I have will know that Darren is no capable of doing something like this even if he was mad or whatever. I stand behind Darren I firmly believe he is 110% not guilty!!!!! :)

      In Legalize that means= "I'm guilty and there's nothing I can do about it."

      33

      What a load of rubbish. The man wore the Aboriginal flag during the closing Ceremony of the Australian Olympics. These allegations will be proven to be untrue. Googled the restaurant and they are becoming synonymous with rude staff and poor service.

      Hope he kicks their ass once these ridiculous charges are dropped!

      35

      I had the pleasure of meeting Darren a few times at my old work, and he's the nicest guy. I couldn't imagine him saying anything remotely racist, let alone verbally attacking someone. Sounds like someone got a case of the 'i met a celebrity, i'd better make some shit up about them to get my own name in the news'.

      This story is absolutely NOT true.
      The reason for the assault reportedly, is because the food SUCKED, and the waiter had FUCKED UP teeth!

      no person is allowed to talk about these incidents til trial it doesn't mean he is guilty…..probably another case of "I've met a celebrity and they have to pay for it!!"…

      He's is a living proof: Gay people can also be narrowminded to the point that they are becoming racists.

      Are you sure this isn't a pix of Bruce Willis doing a Seagrams Wine Cooler ad…??? Maybe this should be one of Perez's "Separated at Birth" articles!

      TO PEREZ

      Hi, my name is Tamara and I am only 15yrs old. Even though I am so young I have enough intelligence to understand that you are an unhappy man. I have seen you many times on T.V. but I never payed that much attention. Than one day I just opened my eyes and I really saw and heard you. I was flawed by what you had to say. You were on POP AGANDA on MUCH MORE MUSIC. You were asked a question that I can't recall exactly but I do remeber you saying that "you were thinking it too”. Yes, I'm not going to lie. People do look at celebrities and every one else that is in sight. People also have mean thoughts at times about others but their is a reason why they dont say it, they only THINK IT. The reason is that it makes people feel bad about them selves. You no that this is true but you seem to pay no attention to others feelings. I looked at you and I saw many flaws with you but I only decided to pay attention to one characteristic of yours. It had nothing to do with your physical appearance. I was paying attention to your personality. You seemed cold and as I payed more attention I started to think to my self that maybe you are unhappy with your self. I think you say all these nasty things about others to forget about the things you don't like about your self. I'm not saying that I dont do the same at times and I'm not denying that I'm wrong but you are doing this on television. You have the oppritunity to voice your oppinions and you choose to voice nasty oppinions. People look up to celebrities and often try to immitate them in a sence. If you are making celebrities feel bad about them selves apperance wise there fans will start to feel bad about them selves. Fans want to look like ther idols and you feel that it is alright to slander there appearance. If a fan thinks there idol is gorgeous and you slander the way that celebrity looks there fan has more reason to feel bad about there self. When you make a celebrity feel bad and they start to change that gives ther fans reason to belive that they should change to. You are hearting people in so many ways. Your cheap gossip is sickining and shows that you are very sick on the inside and I pray to God that one day you can come to peace with your self. I say this because I highly doubt that you are at peace with your outer or your inner apperance. If by some small chance you are ok with your physical apperance there is no way your ok with your inner self because it is digusting. If you really feel what your doing is right I just want to let you know that even a 15 year old girl knows that its not. Good luck.

      First and foremost if you don't know who Darren Hayes is you shouldn't be posting a comment under his "story". Second, I don't believe that Darren would do anything like that. Darren has never been anything but respectful to everyone he has come into contact with. He has friends of all colors and has spoken out against racism and gay-bashing! I am a long-time Darren Hayes and Savage Garden fan and I think this waiter is just looking for his 15 minutes of fame and found his opportunity when Darren walked in… DON'T BELIEVE THIS A$$HOLE, HE'S JUST LOOKING TO GET INTO THE NEWS, AND SADLY IT WORKED… Stay strong Darren. Much love from Washington state…

      Let us just assume for perez's stake that every male is gay. Then we won't have to hear his stupid speculations.
      EVERY MALE CELEB IS GAY. So don't make a big deal of it you big Dyke~!

      I agree with #56, thaimeup (comment #20) and asdf (comment #42), you're both a bunch of hypocrites

      There must be some misunderstanding. Darren is not racist at all. Alas, bad things happen to good people.

      I know Darren, and as someone who has known him for years I can totally affirm he is absolutely innocent.
      It is obviously someone that likes to cry OUTRAGE, when there is probably none.
      Darren is the sweetest and kindest soul you could ever meet.
      I am behind him 1000%

      I still love Darren!! always willl!! 10 years now it will be :P

      I really do not believe he could have done this. It's either he did and it just came out as news, OR the guy who accused Darren of this..waited for the opportune moment RIGHT when his new album was to come out, to slam him.

      Really really do hope this was just a misunderstanding.
