Big Gay Al Speaks!

Filed under: When Celebrities Blog > Star Jones

wenn1537788__opt.jpg

Al Reynolds is misunderstand, y'all.

The soon-to-be former Mr. Star Jones was us to pity him! Boo hoo.

B.G.A. has just posted a big gay rant on his official MySpace.

This is what he has to say:

"Dear Friends: If you think you are having a tough day, may I propose you walk in my shoes for a few hours. In my mind, it feels like “Dump on Al Month.” And I’m not having fun yet. I have been called a gigolo, a freeloader, unemployed, a sham and many other things that don’t bear repeating. People on television, radio and the internet have spoken disparagingly of my life, my sexuality, my career and my integrity. The media has barraged me (at my home), my friends, my family(including my 79 year old mother), my college classmates, my students and my professional colleagues. Yet, despite this intense level of provocation, I have said nothing. My Publicist has put out a one sentence statement: “We’re taking the high road.” And we have and will continue on that path. As much as I want to defend myself, it seems like a silly and futile exercise. It’s clear that the media doesn’t want to let the truth get in the way of a good story. I hate to ruin their fun. I take great comfort in the fact that my loved ones and those people who really know me continue to love and respect me. Thank you “all” for the endless emails, phone calls and words of encouragement. I know in my heart that I entered my marriage with love and the best of intentions and leave it with great sadness that it didn’t work. What the world doesn’t know about me would fill a book, but I know who I am and what I have achieved in my life. Before I met Star Jones I was a successful Wall Street banker and since then I have become an entrepreneur, an educator and soon, an author. I grew up in a working class home, a mobile home in fact. I understand the struggles of the working class. My mother was a teacher and my father was in the military. I was given values, integrity and a strong moral upbringing (thanks mom and dad). In these hard economic times, I am working to take my knowledge and experience of the business world and use it to empower and enlighten working class Americans who are often ‘left behind’ by traditional financial advice. I educate inspiring young men and women at Florida Memorial University, a historically black liberal arts university in Miami, Florida. I continue to follow my entrepreneurial spirit in the world of business and investment while completing my doctorate in Organizational Leadership. So I indeed work very hard as a professor, business owner, doctoral student and author. I play hard too. I make no apologies for that. A guy is entitled to a little fun, after all. What I want people to know is that I am not the caricature portrayed by the media. I am complex, contradictory and capable of great intelligence but also remarkable stupidity. In other words, I am a human being. To me, labels are for clothes, not people. So…..Please don’t try to define me; don’t try to categorize me; and most of all, don’t label me. Instead, JUST GET TO KNOW ME. And if you see me, just call me Al."

    Honestly, not that I like Al or really care that much about their divorce, kudos to the guy for sticking up for himself. I think we all forget that people are human beings and we let the media get the best of our thoughts sometimes. Unfortunately, he will only be known as "the dude who married Star Jones" when in fact, he is probably more famous now than her! Whatev, I say let the man be. Who gives a shit if he is gay or not. He isn't even a celebrity. I am too busy waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo to come out of the closet, not Al.

    Kudos to Al! We as the 'public' do not know all the facts… We hear the media's side of things or Star Jones' side of things, but instead of letting them live their lives…. we 'imagine the worst'. So, hopefully people can realize these individuals ARE human and not every damn aspect needs to be parlayed into the television or papers.

    I have a problem with the first line where hes saying if you think you're having a tough day try being him. Hello?! Try living in Burma or the areas of China affected by the quake, or many other disaster areas, and THEN talk about bad days.

    Otherwise, it sucks that people try to define people, but when you're in the public eye, thats life, people out there say stupid things about people they don't even know. Their issue, not his issue so no point losing sleep over it.

    Yeah tough life ya got Al.. my utilities got shut off today. i have no heat for my kids… but you got it so bad.. if all i had to do was suck on Stars saggy nips to ensure I had all I needed out of life, I certainly wouldn't be bitching about all the "rough times" and "name calling". Boo–fucking HOOOOOO.. u got it bad… so if u think ur having a bad day… walk a mile in someone who isn't fortunate enough to be financially secure and worry where their next meal is coming from. Than u can post some poor-me blog

    Don't you have any real celebs to report on anymore? Half of your site is now news stories from around the world that aren't that interesting. The other half is about C and D list celebs that don't get the press anyplace else. They must be paying you.

    And what about the big celebs? Besides Angelina's tits and Madonna's record, what else do you have to show for? I think you can't write anything about the bigger celebs because you are such a star fu*%#er now that you are forgetting what got you there in the first place.

    But keep up the good work on the weight loss. You look better than you have in ages. (You'd look even more smokin' if you got rid of your crappy stylists.)

    the problem is that he posted what could only be called a glorified personal ad as eloquent as it may have been on his myspace where, sadly, no one will ever see it.

    you know what?! my tune has changed. i like Al's look on this. keep going buddy - dont let hollywood bring you down - just think of what dave chappelle said about hollywood and all the stars cracking under pressure.

    "The worst thing to call somebody is crazy," he said. "It's dismissive. I don't understand this person so they're crazy. That's bull—-. These people are not crazy. They are strong people. Maybe the environment is a little sick."

    Good for him! I think they should leave his family and friends out of everything. He should unfortunately deal with the media. He accepted them into his life when he decided to marry Star.

    everyone has their problems. i don't think money makes it anymore emotionally easier to deal with.

    Fair enough. You know we don't know these people. What I have seen of Star, she comes across as very intelligent. Same for this bloke here. Some marriages work, some don't. It's not OUR business.

    Ok, so I respect the fact that he came from little and built himself up; however, this is a shameless plug to promote his book. Here is the reality: Dude likes dudes.

    Dudes likes money.

    Dude doesn't have very much of it.

    Dude needed to marry money to pay for a rather lavish lifestyle.

    Dude married a woman who is an emotional and self-conscious mess…if she wasn't, she wouldn't have gotten gastric bypass and pretended it was pilates.

    Dude tried to play off wife's low self-esteem.

    Dude's plan back-fired.

    Dude is once again needing money.

    Due is going to write a book about his "experience."

    Dude still likes dudes.

    Any "man' who would sleep with that orange-haired orangutan deserves no sympathy. I think the proper authorities should be contacted and he should be arrested on beastiality charges. I am so glad that he was unable to breed in captivity. That's all we need is more niglets running around. I'm so glad I am white.

    Good for him. He has the right attitude, the less said, the better. No one will believe him anyway and as long as is family and friends know the truth, that's all that should matter to him. I have a new found respect for this man.

    I find it quite funny that he says: "As much as I want to defend myself, it seems like a silly and futile exercise", and then continues on his rant defending himself! And yes, it quite apparent that he is WAY GAY (so obvious BIG GAY AL, so obvious)!!

    Shut your pie hole BIG GAY AL …..we know you're gay…come out the closet…he should not have married Star if he liked the boys…what I don't like are gay guys that marry women for finacial support and live their life on the down-low…he's living better know than he ever lived..why didn't he keep his wall street job after he got married……….and re: V…DON'T TALK ABOUT PEREZ'S MOTHER YOU ASS HOLE..TALK ABOUT YOUR OWN MOTHER WHATEVER SHE MAY BE!
