Country Singer John Rich Is An Asshole!

Now that country star Chely Wright has come out, she discusses the difficulty she faced coming to grips with her self. And that includes a difficult time with bigoted fellow singer, John Rich.

“Early in my life I went through what I think a lot of gay people go through, thinking that I could change and pray it away,” said Chely.

As she tells Access Hollywood, her lowest point came during a discussion with Rich.

She divluged:

├óΓé¼┼ôHe said, “You’re not gay are you?!” I said, “No, John, I’m not.” He said, “Good, thank God.” And that began a spiral for me. I had a meltdown shortly after that.├óΓé¼┬¥

It go so bad that she considered shooting herself with a loaded gun.

├óΓé¼┼ôI was looking at myself in a mirror├óΓé¼┬ªas I was about to do it. I just looked at myself and something snapped and I started to cry├óΓé¼┬ªand I realized I have too much to live for. I may lose my career in country music, that will break my heart, but it’s okay. I have a lot of different pieces of my heart that matter and that’s what I’ve come to learn.├óΓé¼┬¥

So brave.
