Come on Johnny, Look at the Damn Picture!

walks like a duck………….

surely he wasn’t crazy enough to ask that question….

AWWWW HELLLL NO…WHAT IN THE RHINESTONE COWBOY HELL JOHNNY…

OH GOSH I GOT ON THE FIRST PAGE LOOL. gay? Johnny? are we behind in the UK? LOL

http://www.myspace.com/presenterjulieann

i don’t want to listen to the audio..what did he say?

..and those jeans look tight as hell.

Well clutch the pearls! Johnny I cant understand it for the life of me either!

Johnny Gill: Why Does Everyone Think I’m Suspect????

Ummmm….okay…stop me if I am wrong, but, could have anything to do with two grown ass men living togther and only one of them (Eddie) having the financial means to support the two? Combined with Eddie’s gaggle of babies, they are the new nuclear family.

LMAO…Damn shame.

He looks about as masculine as Norwood.

I bet that nicca has NO sphincter muscle!

Okay, so how many times has JGill sang that song to Eddie? “My, my, my!!” That’s just NASTY!!

Poor baby. What if he’s not gay???

Everyone thinks you’re gay Johnny is because yo ass walk around with a nut removal rag on you at all times

@ Misty Knight

Well clutch the pearls!

If that’s not a blast from the past. You’re dating yourself, watch out.

LOL

@nique Im only 22..but my godfather use to say that he was very much the “southern bell”

hes not gay, his boyfriend is…..

johnny, button up your shirt!

don’t worry: one day, ed will claim you!

what can you do about bob? ya’ll new edition need to get back together for real. i know it’s hard being on the road living with bob, though… right?

Well from my understanding.. Johnny made a song with a NEWLY NOT out of the Closet Top Producer From Atlanta years ago.. Im sure they were bumping COCKs..hmmm I wonder if Johnny was the top or the bottom.. well since the producer is SOOOO BIG & FAT (but a wonderul producer) -oh boi- Im sure he was the bottom!!

Dammit, why am I still at work? Anyhoo, I don’t know whether he’s Eddie’s man or not, but I will say that some elements of his story are extremely believable and also confirms what folks were saying about Eddie’s relationship w/his mother.

I don’t understand how a grown ass man w/8 kids allows his mama to get all up in his business. It was the same thing that Scary spice had to deal with…and when mama says to get rid of ‘em…he does it. Now maybe she can convince him to go and finally see his child.

@RIP Omar Little

I am not in the US so I cant watch The Wire but is Omar dead? I go on the HBO site all the time and it doesnt seem like he is. The abscence of him and Bunk would make me stop watching the show.

I hate to admit this but I saw an interview with him long ago and he come off as a queen. I am the last person who would believe that because you “look gay, whatever that means, that you are. There are however somethings a brother can do that will make you think otherwise.

Johnny is trying to protect his rich boyfriend’s image. Johhny boy looks like he is ready to bend over for eddie with those hands on his hips. Nasty boys!

@ Kigali

I think I know the interview you’re speaking of, because I thought the same thing too. However, this man is mad-talented and why we’re not listening to something new from JG right now, is beyond me. I stan for this man forever.

O.k. if Johnny is not “gay” and doesn’t want people to think that he and Eddie or anything other then freinds…. why doesn’t he ever have or show his girlfriend? And why is he defending Eddie’s behavior so hard like his “male companion” instead of homeboy/brother— there is a recognizable difference in one’s behavior that alerts ones “gaydar”. And this what everyone sees that Johnny doesn’t quite get.

Silly silly Johnny…. blinded by love.

Johnny asked “Why Does Everybody Think I’m Suspect?” Uh wel ah maybe because your a grown ass man wearing a sequin studded balzer with matching rhinestone belt/

This fool looks zesty as and tart as hell all he needed was a burst of MAC lipglass & he’d be set!

Awww who am i kidding. I don’t care if he’s gay or not. I just want to suck his cock and aids be damn.

@ Aoki you can catch Johnny at the El Rey theater on Wilshire… and good luck with that.

Come on out the closet Johnny. It’s warm outside.

Who cares if he is gay!!??!! There certainly is not one Black male out there today who can match him in terms of his talent! It is one thing to pick on Murphy as he has been busted, and certainly is suspect. But let’s catch Johnny before we start bad-mouthing him.

I think that he purchases Mac..lip gloss! I truly do!

WHY does he have his shirt open in the first place??? why?? It isn’t 1989, or 1995..babe..It is over! YOU don’t see Keith Sweat..running on stage with his NIPPLES over exposed! COMEON johnny..Please tell us the truth..that YOU, and Eddie be getting your Respusha ON! LOL

Maybe they’re Bisexual.

When I look at that pic of Johnny I think about the late great Liberace… and how he used to say that he wasn’t gay… hmmmmm…..

Not that I really care if he is gay or not but like someone said b4– If it walks like a duck ….

no what I’m saying Johnny?

alright ms thing werk the blink belt.

I guess I have no gaydar because I didn’t think gay when I looked at JG’s picture. He is an entertainer and it looks like he is dressed for a function. Now, if he wears the rhinestones out while running errands, then I would think differently, but we don’t know where he was photographed.

Also, just because he has not been pictured with a girlfriend does not mean he does not have one. I haven’t seen the girlfriends/spouses of the other members of New Edition either and no one routinely says that any of them are gay.

Where did the JG is gay rumor come from?

he says he has a stable of women. i’ll believe he screws horses before he convinces me loves women.

JG $h!t’s on the HATERS!!!

Go ahead and keep tryin’to tear down all our Black Celeb’s…

That’s just what we need, more CRABS IN THE BARREL!

It’s Black History Month 2008 and the Willie Lynch brainwashing is in full effect!

I SAW YOU ON STAGE WITH NEW EDITION,JOHNNY.YOU DID THE CHURCH DANCE LIKE AN OLD QUEEN AND YOUR SHIRT BUTTON WAS HITTING YOUR NAVEL..I STILL WANT MY MONEY BACK

Um… has anyone listened to the audio? The man sounds like Bobby Jones and the Pink Panther combined. I’m not gon’say what he is.. just sayin’that’s what he sounds like…

“My, my, my. Muh muh my my”

I don’t believe that he’s gay.

Johnny Gill needs to face it, and own up to being gay. What straight man you know has his own wing in another man’s house. JOHNNY G. SUSPECT!!!

LOL. Y’all wrong for this one.

Has Johnnie ever had a girlfriend. Hell, we know Eddie has had women but what about Johnnie boy? Any time you see a celebrity male and he never has a female companion, that is suspect. Look at Luther & Freddie Jackson. That is just common knowledge.

My mom was a big fan of Johnnie Mathis and she knew he was gay by his lifestyle. Sure enough years later he came out the closet. My mom said back then women weren’t crazy. They knew a fine as man like Mathis that didn’t date at all was most likely gay.

listen to the interview..

The shirt.. The belt… The Open shirt… HOW ARE YOU DOING MY SWEET SWEET HOMO (I MEAN HOMIE) Eddie be tearing up that ass errr night.

Most of the comments here make me feel bad about what I said about him “acting” gay. You guys talking about him having his shirt open which is apparently proof positive. You guys must not know too many West Indian men. They always rock it like that. My uncle does with his salt and pepper chest hairs. Its old skool West Indian.

@ Curly Fries [Barack the vote in '08!]

“I bet that nicca has NO sphincter muscle”

Please! I just woke up 30 minutes ago. I gotta go to work. I can’t be laughing like that this early on a weekend that I gotta work. I’m supposed to be mad today.

I don’t think that it is the open shirt thing…

Johnny Gill is not gay? What if he was, aren’t we in a society that is open about the sexual orientations of the most public figues?

What i do not understand is why he has to say negative stuff about black people… everybody on earth love gossips… The only reason why only black folks talk bout Johnny Gill is that actually only black fols care about him… his relationship with eddy wouldn’t sell any paper in the general population… come on JOhnny stop the negative on black folks… they have the ultimate freedom of talking about you the way they think is apropriate…

I’m no Gaytologist but from the looks of that picture O boy is as fruity as a box Trix.

LMAO Jojo

un uh if it walks like a duck it must be a duck.

Come back Johnny, please come back. I don’t care if you open up to a clydesdale, just give me some more good music.

i have only heard of him dating one woman and that was will smiths ex-wife (allegedly)how true that is i don’t know…it’s just really suspect for a man to have his own wing in another man’s home who is not a relative

LMAO!!!

I’m with fam that said Willie Lynch is in full effect! Niccas will always tear down their people! Get some self knowledge,losers!

Johnny says that he has his own home. How do we know that he lives with Eddie?

He had a point about the mainstream media. Johnny is not a big star anymore, but Eddie is. Why didn’t the tabloids out them? Why didn’t Mel B out them?

While I found some parts of the interview thought provoking, like his use of “our team” when discussing Tracey’s PR manipulations to make herself the victim of Eddie and his mother, I did not hear enough to make me think he is gay.

His comments about the black community are harsh, but he was not lying. My grandmother use to say that a lie will travel around the world before the truth puts on its shoes.

No one has ever stopped to ask why it is that Johnny Gill has been labeled gay when we know flamingly heterosexual men that live in our communities that have never been married because they are playas.

He has known Eddie for 24 years and in all of this time, no one has caught them together? Are you telling me that at the height of Eddie’s career that the tabloid media gave him a pass? Yeah right. Also, why is Eddie trying to get married if he is gay? Times have changed and its not a bad thing to be gay in Hollywood anymore.

With all of that said, I am outraged that Johnny said he had a stable of women. Stable? WTF? We aren’t horses. What a way to spoil an illusion of being a romantic, sensitive, caring soul singer that caters to women. Men don’t buy your stuff Johnny, women do….the people that you think are horses. Jackass.

Didn’t Johnny use to date Will Smith’s ex wife, Sheree? That’s what I heard a long time ago.

I know one dayum thing… ain’t NO man gonna defend another man like that if there wasn’t something amidst. Johnny tries so hard with the “give me a lie detector” thing, that it only makes him look doubly worse. He said he’d bet a “billion dollars” if someone could say they’ve seen him in any situation where he’s conducting himself outside of being a man… or something like that. Johnny my dear… do you really think you’re “One and Only” Eddie is gonna spill the tea about you two? And secondly, who you gonna borrow that billion from to pay your debt, cuz I’m SURE you don’t have quite that much saved in the bank.

He would have served his “brother” better by being mum about the whole situation. Now it only feeds the rumor that he’s trying to squash so desperately!!!

All I wanna know is…. CAN I BORROW THAT BELT??? LOL

Johnny needs more people…

Say Word, Jaycee! I agree that it’s sad to see him falling into the whole “I needs me a stable of women to be manly” bit. And yeah, they need to remember, it’s mainly women buying their CD’s and showing up at their concerts. The dudes sure aint’buying Johnny Gill tickets…. If he’s still doing shows at all, anyway.

From personal side I’m school matees/best freinds with Christian murphy

(Eddies son)

So trust me wen I say eddies murphy is faaaaaaaar. From

gay

I met him in SC in the lounge of a hotel he was staying at. He’s VERY VERY effeminine. I know that doesn’t always mean men are gay. But he’s kind of like that little cuzzin you ALWAYS knew was gonna be gay since he was like 3 or so. So…the dude may not be gay…but if he ain’t…he sure missed his calling or is on the waiting list!

You might as well come outta the closet -everybody KNOWS YOU ARE !!

@Kandyman- I went out with eddie’s bodyguard and I KNOW FOR A FACT EDDIE IS GAY!!!

@BoyMom3… I have a cousin just like that and we knew that he was gonna be gay when he was 2… and guess what… when he was about 15 he called himself coming out of the closet and the funny thing about it is the whole fam told him that we knew that he was gay before he did.

I still love him tho.

Chest hairs out like that flamboyant belt straight suss and 2 ear studs.the cheesy grin yup hes one

@lisa

My opinion is more credible

I’m at his crib 24/8

Christian n i have our own Nike sb dunk (they’re shoes)blog site with piks of our FAM

test

Johnnie is looking fierce! All he needs is a feather boa to complete the ensemble.

JOHNNY SAID HE IS NOT GAY !!!! it is sad he had to speak out about his sexuality. why do we as Black people have so much fun tearing other black people down? once you put it out there you can’t take it back !!! instead of writing and saying such hurtful things about Johnny, why dont we talk about the good music he has made over the years or let him know we are proud of him. you reap what you sow…

@Incognita LMFAO! U a damn fool for that one, funny as all hell.

I do not understand why these stupid ass gossip sites are always accusing someone of being gay-if Johnny Gill is gay that’s HIS damn business!! People need to be concerned with their own sexuality and STOP worrying about someone else’s!!

Leave him alone and let him be what he wants to be! But,that picture does scream “I’M QUEER, I’M HERE”

He looks like his should replace the tiger in Siegfried and Roy’s Las Vegas act.

Now Appearing:

“SIEGFRIED, ROY, AND GILL”

JG’s much safer than the tiger. When they put their heads in his mouth he won’t bite them off!

My My My was the jam and still holds weight. The best thing that Johnnie could do is to be quiet, that’s it. If him and Eddie are like “brothers” then so be it.

I remember years ago hearing about rumors of Johnnie Gill and Arsenio Hall, but when you think about it, does Aresenio still hang with Eddie? Was Johnnie gill some how caught up in this? Hummmmm.

why?…maybe because you wear your shirt open to your belly button under sequined blazers (during the daytime no less) and you live with eddie even when he’s married. maybe johnny, maybe all that has something to do with it.

lmfao @ lovelyand amazing;; yuppersz he`sz a hOmewrecker

THIS NICCA SOFTER THAN SPORTS CREME HE BEN-GAY

FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE IS BEEN SAID THAT JOHHNY GOT DRUNK AND VOMITED 16 OUNCES OF SPERM AT EDDIE’S WEDDING.

@ Pimp Daddy

eeewwwww that’s nasty

He is not gay and neither is Jackee’s husband The gravatar is hating, but please believe the pumps match the bag! He is also her hairdresser. He is not gay. Neither is Johnny.. I know Liberace said he was straight and his momma did as well. Little Richard is going to his grave hollering he is straight. I think Elton John is lying also, I suspect he is straight but is looking to capitalize on that rainbow dollar. See they are all straight and you guys are mean .

I am retarded here is the gravatar

I also checked the same video on the video center of interracialchats.com days ago. It is clearer and posted by Johnny’s fan there. Maybe you want to check it out.

Johnny Gill is about as gay as queen latifah

why do you think eddie wife left she got sick of sharing her man with johnny

He took Eddie from Arsenio Hall ?

He has a stable? He said that he has white women, black women, and whatever else you want to call them. Transsexuals, maybe?!?

And why did he bring up the transsexual/Eddie incident?

Talking about “If any man sees a woman, he’s going to think this is my lucky night. Any man that’s a man, that I know that’s a man. Is going to think that it’s his lucky night.” LOL.

What was he talking about?

Eddie knew that dude was a transsexual. And then had the nerve to tell the press that he was just giving ol’dude a ride.

Stop it!!

I mean, I don’t know if Johnny and Eddie did anything together, but Johnny’s tank is full of sugar.

Now I don’t care about his preference, and I don’t blame him for keeping it to himself, because we all know that admitting something like that can mess up your life.

I mean, obviously, it’s a big deal, because every other day on the blogs, on the news, and in the mags, you see someone being outed.

Don’t be naive people, this society does not approve of homosexuals.

Some people may try to tolerate the idea that homosexuals exist, but those people do not think that homosexuality is a normal thing.

I mean, listen to what he said. He likened being called a homosexual to being as bad as being called a theif.

So, you really want to know why he, and all of the other “How You Doin?” celebs/public figures, doesn’t come out of the closet?

Because he’ll be through. Eddie will definitely be through because he has more to lose.

I mean, this is just how things are.

I didn’t listen to the audio but I can tell by the picture and the fact that he has a wing in another man’s house. That suggests someone is tapping that back door Johnny…can you get with it?

Jaycee

Johnny says that he has his own home. How do we know that he lives with Eddie?

He had a point about the mainstream media. Johnny is not a big star anymore, but Eddie is. Why didn’t the tabloids out them? Why didn’t Mel B out them?

While I found some parts of the interview thought provoking, like his use of “our team” when discussing Tracey’s PR manipulations to make herself the victim of Eddie and his mother, I did not hear enough to make me think he is gay.

With all of that said, I am outraged that Johnny said he had a stable of women. Stable? WTF? We aren’t horses. What a way to spoil an illusion of being a romantic, sensitive, caring soul singer that caters to women. Men don’t buy your stuff Johnny, women do….the people that you think are horses. Jackass.

^^^ Well said.

Sadly ….. I still think Johnny is gay.

@ Lovely Brown

I agree 100%. People are tolerant of homosexuality but it is still thought of as a deviant sexual behavior. Johnny kept going out of his way to emphasize his masculinity and that he was a “real man” throughout the interview. When a man accussed of being gay expresses those kinds of statements, it only reinforces to me that he would have all the more reason to stay in the closet (because of his own negative view of homosexuality). I think down low brothers rationalize that they are not gay because they are not “fruity” or because they still find themselves sexually attracted to women. Like Eddie and Johnny, many bi-sexual men can only find themselves attracted to women who represent physical “perfection” in terms of physical beauty (Prince is also this way). The reason for this is because these men are not primarily attracted to women…they are moreso attracted to the male physique. This kind of homosexuality involves a healthy dose of narcissism (which is easily found in many so-called metrosexual men and Hollywood/entertainment industry celebs). Johnny Gill and Eddie Murphy are both bi-sexual. They may even be misogynists. But they are both definitely bi-sexuals who share a deep, loving relationship with one another…they will surely grow old together. The passion and intimacy with which Johhny spoke of their relationship betrayed any tales he wanted to spin of these two having a platonic relationship. They are like “brothers”…in an incestuous relationship.

@ hmmmm:

Prince is not gay or bi!!!

He’s in a situation of damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Not addressing the gay rumors will cause people to think you are gay. Addressing the gay rumors will cause people to think you are gay. It’s pointless, people have their minds made up anyway so you can’t convince them. People think they have the ability to be a fly on the wall and have the authority to call people out. Every African-American man is gay let “experts” tell it. Some of the same people who call Black men gay are the same ones who get upset when a Black man chooses a non-Black woman for a mate. Go figure!

Well, the last gossip item I heard said Johnny STILL lives in Eddie’s home. This all while he was dealing with Tracey Edmonds. He was living in Sugar Ray’s guest house 4 eva. He must really be broke. Po thang. I wonder if Eddie gives him a weekly allowance

wait, he said “I keeps a stable….”

smh

Am I the only one who thought that Tracye Edmonds talking crazy about Eddie mother to Eddie face is a big No-No! What was she thinking! I thought that Tracye was a very smart person until she started messing with Eddie and she still wanted to marry him, right after the way he acted with the whole Mel B. thing. If I was his mother I would have had the same feeling “it” or “She” is moving way to fast.

First off Na-Na, go back to your kitchen because something is burning…your mind! I’m from DC and we have a lot of beautiful straight black men, THANK YOU!!! Second, as wack as you are about DC, you have a point about todays artists. I worked on a video for a rapper and all I can say is that of all the beautiful women on the set, they were more interested in the male extras (one in particular). And while I would never put anyone out like that, I will say that a lot of women would be heartbroken had they witnessed what I did while looking for the restroom. I don’t trust any of the men in music!!!

so strong, haha

Rumors I’ve heard about Johnny Gill THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE TRUE:

(1) He and Stacey Lattisaw had a relationship when they were teenagers. (2)He and Janet Jackson had a relationship in the early nineties and remain close friends today. (3) He and Will’s ex had a relationship. (4) He was engaged to the model in the “It’s Your Body” video. (5) He is the ultimate playboy. I don’t care for his use of the word “stable” but I’ve heard he’s got a woman or two or three in every city. (6) He was engaged a few years ago to what looked like a woman of mid-eastern decent (I’ve seen photos of the two of them). (7) He has a son by one of his lady friends — not rumor and the baby is so cute. (8) OK, I’m crossing the line here but I heard and saw evidence that he sexes a woman so good she’s still feeling the pleasure the next day! (10) Not rumor—-I sure wish he’d sex me so I can personally confirm how gooooood he makes a woman feel. (11) He’s kind of shy and very private so all these rumors and comments are not only unfair, but horribly intrusive.

(12) Not rumor–He’s one of the best male vocalists of all time and has dedicated 25 years of his life to entertaining us. Don’t you think we owe it to him to focus on his musical contributions to our lives and quit trying to damage his legacy with this stupid gossip?

Some of the comments and insults levelled at JG have been hilarious!

But personally i think he is one of the greatest singers of all time, I mean this nicca can sing his ass off! (no pun intended)

I think just because he doesnt act like a stereotypical retard like lil wayne etc and all these other clowns sippin sizzurp and acting like ignorant bufoons he gets labelled as being a closet fruity boy.

I know all my homies respect Jonny as a quality artist – the man is a mack and has made quality music for years, cut the nicca some slack.

luvmesumbrothahs u said that u heard and saw evidence what evidence u saw let me no cause i luv johnny hahaha

Why don’t all the haters leave my man alone with all this gay $h*t. Not cool to accuse him of this when he is clearly telling you what it is right now..
