‘Drugged’ Boxer Yusaf Mack Says He Lied, Admits to Being Bisexual in an Apology Statement
After DawgPound USA announced that they would sue Yusaf Mack for saying he was drugged into doing a gay porn, he is now (reportedly) coming clean and admitting that he is bisexual.
He released a statement saying:
“This is an issued public apology from my heart. I want to address a few situations with the first being the false claims I made about being drugged during the Dog Pound adult film. I have never spoke negatively about the company that produced the film although the claim to have been given a drug by someone during set was a lie. I was completely aware and fully conscious during the film.
The second situation, which further explain the first, concerns my lifestyle. I did participate in the adult film because at the time I needed money but also because I am a bisexual man. Meaning I enjoy safely being intimate with whomever I choose.
Lastly I would like to address the reason I lied. My life was completely destroyed once it had been outed that I participated in a gay film. I selfishly tried to cover the truth and remain in denial, rather than accept the fact that I was leading a double life secretly.
After reflecting on the mess I had made I realized that I hurt a lot of my loved ones and the people, my famCherry.d fans, I cared about the most were left disappointed and confused. It was unfair and time to come clean. I want to say sorry to my children and my ex fiancé, I am so sorry that I was a coward and hid a huge part of my life from you all. To the ones that were once my friends and now feel disgust, I’m sorry, but this is my life. I’m not looking for sympathy or even understanding, I’ve kept this secret for a long time. It is time to move forward and this is me walking in my truth.
There are other men and women that are set up in the similar situations and I just hope I can be inspiration to be just be you. The extreme taboo and harsh criticism of living a same sex lifestyle, especially as an African American male, makes it hard to be completely honest and comfortable within yourself. But I had to remember that I am a champ & I can fight and will fight through this. I am more than my sexual orientation. To all of my supporters I thank you dearly. For all other media outlets please contact my consultant Anthony Cherry.”
Mack should’ve just told the truth from the beginning. I believe if the porn company didn’t threaten to sue him he would still have kept his lie going

He NEVER claimed nor SAID he got $4,500 for the video. He said he woke up and it was in his pocket. Assuming it's true, he was probably paid for dealing drugs or something along that line.

Boxer Who Alleged He Was Drugged In Gay Porn Shoot Appears on TMZ Live, Refuses To Say Anything
Yusaf Mack’s story just got a little more insane. The professional boxer, who alleged last week that he was drugged during for his performance in a gay porn video for DawgPoundUSA, just appeared on TMZ Live, apparently at the request of his crisis manager Anthony Cherry (who’s also a hairstylist and singer). Beaming in via Skype, Mack refused to answer virtually every question he was asked, claiming that he couldn’t talk about his porn video because it’s a “legal matter.”
Mack said repeatedly that he wanted to talk about his life right now, but then didn’t do that either. He claims he’s written a book, and that everything about his porn ordeal will be in it. When asked how he was able to turn around a book on such short notice, Mack replied, “As soon as I heard about [the porn controversy], I started writing the book.”
Earlier today, an unconfirmed report originating at Black Sports Online claimed that Mack had released a statement, in which he came out as bisexual and admitted that he had lied about being drugged. That site as well as many others that picked up the story, which had no attributed source, reasoned that this was in response to DawgPoundUSA’s statement to Gawker that read in part: “We intend to take all legal steps necessary to protect our good name and reputation against these patently false and preposterous claims.” Mack made no mention of the statement or his sexuality on TMZ Live. Interestingly, the statement concludes by saying, “To all of my supporters I thank you dearly. For all other media outlets please contact my consultant Anthony Cherry.”
As they say on TMZ, story developing...

Boxer Yusaf Mack is in the middle of a crazy story -- claiming he was drugged before he ended up shooting a gay porn -- but his response to legal threats from the porn producer is almost as weird.
Mack, a boxer out of Philly, made headlines last week when he accused producers of drugging him with a mysterious pill and a shot of vodka. He reached out to us through a crisis manager, saying he had more to say about what went down on the porn set.
But what happened when he came on TMZ Live was just bizarre. Mind you, producers are threatening to sue the hell out of Mack because they deny drugging him and swear he knew he was hired for gay porn.
We'll say this ... Mack doesn't seem worried. About much of anything.

It's he who said that he's gay, troll. You think you have more insight into a PoC's lived experience than he himself does? You racist.
And enough with the bullshit that touching coochie makes men at least bisexual. Sexual orientation is something in the head, not outside of it. He can still be a gay guy even if he's felt the pressure to pretend (and act) otherwise at some point in his life.

As a gay male who has been with more than a few women in my life, I will say that it's absolutely possible to father children, have sex(and even relationships) with women when you're gay. For me, it was trying to make myself be what everyone expected of me. I also have to admit that my ego liked the fact that some really gorgeous women would be attracted to me. But the preference is 100% geared towards males, but sometimes we need something to happen to make us admit this to ourselves, and then to others.
