NBA player Dwight Howard outed

We apparently he is into trans girls, that is not the same thing as being gay.

Shit just got real

R1 not a tranny just a femmy bottom Bitch

Enough, R1! FF’d!

Caitlyn Jenner can now get an NBA player.

Who’s harrassing him? Black people?

You got some fuckin issues r4.

Is this person not trans....? I just assumed. The other people he was banging were specifically referred to as trans. He seems like a tranny chaser.

The new Mantasia?

[quote]Black people?

Yes.

R7 Dwight likes fems but that is not a trans. It identifies as a gay man on twitter.

Dwight has terrible taste in bottoms eww at that.

R11

DWIGHT WAS THE BOTTOM!!

That whole tweet storm is epic!

Black people are outrageously homophobic. I read a couple comments on his Instagram—good lord. Who’d they vote for? Trump? NO. Good lord the hate for gays or even assumes gays.

R12 you are saying this 7 foot man was getting fucked by that? No way

dwight's bf twitter is insane !!!!!!!

For heavens sake DL-rs, SUMMARIZE the situation for us! what happened, who said what.

Some of us are too fucking lazy to scroll through miles of Twitter threads, ffs.

Outing people is a really good way to get killed. Your always supposed to keep your mouth shut.

If this is true.

................

Not just black people, but whites as well. In fact the attacks on Dwight are coming from sports fans. Which is consider mixture of straight males of all races and creeds.

Christ, that's a huge cock.

WHERE R20 ?????????!!!!!!!!!!

R20 photos!!!

He is hot AS FUCK. I'm jealous. I do feel bad though as I hate people being outed like this. True or not it's not nice

R27 I think miss thing outed him because he wouldn’t pay up hush money. Dwight is worth 70 million!!

It's really a shame that we are still arrested as far as sexuality is concerned. All the resources America has and we still get caught up in someone else's business...someone we don't know and will probably never know...While we are heing and sheing real stuff that affects us is in motion. I'm not a sports guy..I am black and wish this guy the best. Leave Dwight Howard alone...whether it's true or not.

This is why trans and gay people are murdered! They play with people's lives by outing them. I don't know if this is true or not. But you should never out anyone.

Your playing with your life when you do stupid shit like that.

She outed him with video, photos and auto. That's crazy as fu**.

Auto?

She should be charged with blackmail.

WE WANT TO SEE DH'S PENIS PICS!!!!!!!!!

She ain't playing AT ALL.

She release this guy Calvin Simmons phone number.

when Dwight is a 6’11 BOTTOM

He is mad he found out Dwight was bareback fucking some fat ugly trannies at tranny orgies.. Dwight likes fems and trannies.

Who the hell is Calvin?

Masin Elijè‏ @MasinElije · 3h3 hours ago

So this is the someone else, A transgender prostitute that he ALSO had a “understanding” with Dwight

R39 dwight’s” pastor” that is callinng miss thing with threats.

MESS!!!

R40 wow at this man’s taste what do you call it when someone gets off fucking something way uglier than they are?

do we now have some additional context for this story from October?

[R39]

Masin Elijè‏ @MasinElije

Calvin works for Dwight and Calvin begun to get irate, disrespectful and homophobic as I continued to deny his “hush money” and said I wasn’t signing the NDA! He tried to insult my intelligence telling me Dwight doesn’t know me and “I never spoke to Dwight” Despite me meeting him

[Quote]when Dwight is a 6’11 BOTTOM

Dwight is at least versatile where is it stated he is a bottom?

OMG.

[quote] OMG

Dyatlov right?

the tranny might be lying about him being a bottom. Remember even gays and trannies still try to shame other gays as bottoms because they know it's perceived to be less masculine.

Where's the dick pic?

He is not gay, I think he has been a big womanizer, e.g. he has eight kids or so from various women, could be all to cover up, but I do think he is not gay, don't even know what being attracted to trans-women and transvestites qualifies as, but his attraction to women seems to be pretty strong. He has been an underachiever, and he has been regarded as too lazy, unmotivated and not dedicated to his craft, but part of that had also to do with his womanizing and partying.

R50 it’s not a trannie it juat has a long weave and uses makeup. But he is saying Dwight does fuck trannies at orgies.

This is why athletes should not mess with fems and trans. There is too much bullshit and drama with them.

[quote] Remember even gays and trannies still try to shame other gays as bottoms because they know it's perceived to be less masculine.

They do?

I want to suck his BBC

Even still, with proof, the R52’s still exist. The “he’s not gay” trolls never, ever, ever, EVER give up.

Just cannot be bothered going through Twitter and all the hilarious reply gifs, fuck that, some can some kind perve please just post his fucking cock?

He cannot be gayer in this interview...wearing a teenager girl's t-shirt

R59 he’s hot why is he fucking fems and trannies that are ugly? He is worth 70 million lol Is he a fug chaser?

Go ask him, R60. Why are you asking us? Go DM him.

Show us the cock!

I think he is gay for sure but he made sure they looked like women so he could get away with being in public with them. or just like his camp was gonna claim, that he thought this "man" was a woman.

According to this person, Dwight liked going to parties and fucking people raw. magic johnson 2.0.

he is trending on twitter. over 210k tweets about him.

This is an obvious lie. Dwight Howard is a pussy hound.

I've only seen interviews of him and don't know if he's a nice person or not in real life...I just hope he's able to deal with all this scrutiny and scorn. It can't be easy feeling like everyone is ganging up against you

I saw that at least 2 posts on the ex's twitter was removed for twitter violations.

R68.

One of the two removed Twitter posts was probably the dick pic!

Someone posted the pastor’s phone number on Twitter.

Yes, he can open doors for so many other athletes who feel like they have to hide who they are. Your talents have nothing to do with ya sexuality! I know its hard being true to yourself but its heartless standing by allowing people to make fun of someone for shit you do yourself

Alex 🌈‏ @adb1425 · 5m5 minutes ago I think being outed is more of a consequence of Dwight/ Dwights camps actions, and not a retaliation. Its hard for Masin to say "My ex-boyfriend is threatening me" without going into more detail on the who, because that doesn't really help assure hes safe.

So closeted people are homophobic now? Wow!

r67 Dwight's a huge phony. A real jerk in the locker room. That's why he's on a different team every year, nobody can stand him. He completely destroys team chemistry and motivation every time.

He never bothered learning how to do post moves or shoot free throws. He's the type of douche who can't shoot from 4 feet, but he'll spend the entire summer shooting 3 point shots from 24 feet, and fully expect his (new) team to give him the big green light to fire away from there all season.

Can you post the homophobia R72?

Dwight Howard exposed by a transgender (the audio recording)

Messy

I saw text msgs between the 2 of them in which "he" asked D.Howard if his family and friends knew about him dating trans and men. He refused to answer. He replied "why are you asking me for?" , " I don't want to answer", "it's nothing to know" "

R36, wow, Calvin has gay face.

R73, are you straight? There is no way for a DL eldergay being so knowledgable about NBA.

Maybe they know he is gay and teammates don't like him. there are those who will say...get rid of so and so if you want me to renew the contract.

Dwight is known as a headcase and cancer in the locker room but he ends up on a team every season because he is still good. He is a former 8 time all star.

R52 = Pastor Calvin.

wow I mean unless this trick is just very skilled at cutting and pasting phone conversations etc...then this story seems legit. It is possible that some girl Dwight was seeing recorded Dwight and gave the gay guy the recordings for him to use but doesn't seem likely at this point.

Dwight's uncle is the DA in Atlanta so this guy better be telling the truth or he's in big trouble

I don't doubt the story. Otherwise they wouldn't be threatening "him" allegedly. Trick claim he didn't take his money or sign NDA because he liked Howard as a person LOL.

I think trick wanted a lot more money than was offered. I wonder what Dwight is gonna say now?

This guy is nuts if what this person claims is true. He said Dwight likes to parties and stick his dick into everyone raw. and he likes to suck dick too.

r84 plus miss thing is a “writer” and is planning a tell all book.

So by trans do they mean chicks with dicks?

Laughable to see my bros tie themselves in hetero knots trying to explain this bi down low hoe. Been there done that.

Dwight the poor soul is a lost repressed gay man and has always been, raised in a strict religious household and this is no surprise.

I'll never forget the night he was drafted he said his main goal was to get the NBA logo changed from Jerry West to ... Jesus Christ!!!

And "I'm going to focus my career in the NBA on saving souls for christ" was his quote as well.

Then he was hit with money and fame and temptation and the christianity "stuff" lasted about a year into his first season. Multiple baby mamas. Sexual hedonism. Groupie orgies. Gay sex. Grabbing his teammates by the balls to show sexual domination on the sidelines of games. Complete bitch-ass behavior and prima donna attitude --- essentially his feminine side bursting out after being suppressed for his whole life.

Yes, big Dwight is a quite tight QUEEN.

R88 Speaking of Magic was Dwight getting it on with EJ? EJ seems to be just his TYPE!

I am Not convinced of the allegations, but Dwight is one of the most disliked players in NBA history.

Where are the pics? What's up with recording phone calls, even the ones when you were on good terms? This seems as if Maisin was thirsty and didn't get paid.

Once again, an asshole and bully is outed as a scared little child who's too afraid to let out his inner queen.

The most shocking thing to come out of this is that Dwight is only 6'11" and not 7'.

DEAD to me.

Is it the closet that gives these closet cases such terrible taste in sex partners? Like, do they further punish themselves, for being gay, by deliberately hooking up with uggos and maybe smelly homeless people?

Leave Dwight alone! The internet can be a really cruel place. The pile on is extreme and toxic.

This world is a scary place. Human beings have no conscience.

This is why wise masculine down low dudes never hang out with fem males.

Effeminate guys have nothing to lose and tend to be very nasty and gossipy.

Fuck off back to facebook, homophobe at R98.

Point proven by r99

So, is the mainstream media just going to ignore this story?

Heavy.com:

In light of the news, Shannon Sharpe was in a lot of people’s mentions with questions about whether he and Skip Bayless would cover the controversy on their FS1 show “Undisputed.”

Sharpe had a few strong reactions to the inquiries throughout the night, insisting that Howard’s sexuality is none of his business and has no place on a sports analysis program.

Well Shannon Sharpe is right. It has no place on a sports analysis show.

R100, you’re on a gay gossip site that specializes in “bitchery”. You are, in essence, the very definition of “nasty” and “gossipy”. And, a hypocrite.

Blocked.

I believe Maisin but by what people are dredging up on Twitter he is a scammer, too. Last year he faked DMs saying he and rapper Playboi Carti messed around and there's screenshots of texts and DMs where that fool sold someone a camera for $300 and instead of sending the camera he sent a rock and blocked them on Twitter when they exposed him.

Shannon is correct

I wandered into LSA to see what the lovely, calm, respectful ladies were saying over there. He's...maybe...BISEXUAL.

No NDA? Or has it been broken?

A lot of Twitter bros think it’s a false accusation

When it hits you that Dwight Howard might said what he really meant... #DwightHoward #TheDWasGood

"Well Shannon Sharpe is right. It has no place on a sports analysis show."

Most sports analysis shows had no problems covering the Tiger Woods scandal.....I guess your sexuality is only "private" if you are gay/bi.

[quote]I guess your sexuality is only "private" if you are gay/bi.

Caring about privacy has ALWAYS be code for closeted. Straight people never hide that they are straight.

Yes, R111. And agree with your quote. But, so many feel that way. So, so many.

Dwight Howard is one of those athletes who has multiple baby mamas and yet has had gay rumors follow him since literally college. He also should have retired years ago and is strictly sticking around to get paid and, apparently, get ass.

r79 if you leave your Mom's basement you will find out there are gay guys who are into sports.

^ Not only that but gay guys who PLAY sports

But why did he pick Howard? surely there must be some rumors about him...

Wow! Some people have all the luck!

Who’s lucky? His life was threatened.

The accuser has no credibility

R119.

R119 Dwight' four baby mamas and his Mama.

Yes he’s probably closeted. But this scary trans-like queen is clearly a headcase and scammer. Probably tried to extort him. So gross

in general do closeted gays go for the femme gays or other masculine gays?

Are closeted guys considered hot to gay men?

If they are masculine, especially an athlete

If you're masculine, it's not a good idea to get involved with femme gays. Their way to emotional, especially when they don't get their way. And they will out you in a heartbeat, just to get back at you and to cause problems for you.

"If you're masculine, it's not a good idea to get involved with femme gays."

Amen!!!

I hear masculine guys say this all the time, and not just in a sexual context. Even as friends or associates.

[quote]Their way to emotional

Oh, dear.

Who’s too emotional?

It’s hard to believe a down low athlete would get involved with a fem guy. DL guys are notoriously anti-fem and usually don’t want to even be in their presence. There is a widespread fear that fem guys are itching to put down low guys, and are too messy and temperamental.

r114 What?! Where? Are they tops??

I think this is 1 of those that's going to stay online only, unless messy ass Wendy Williams covers it tomorrow lol.

I'm interested to see what happens with Dwight next time he appears in public...I bet fans of opposing teams will taunt the hell out of him

R133 I agree, I don't see anyone in the mainstream touching this story. Not even TMZ is touching this one.

Or, hopefully worse. Shot. I don’t like gays. I love when gay gets tormented, crucified, killed. Love it.

[Quote]unless messy ass Wendy Williams covers it tomorrow lol.

Well ...

R135 I never said I liked seeing gays get mocked and harassed. I'm just saying it will likely follow Dwight the rest of his career and life, especially if he doesn't comment on it and pretends it never happened. Sports fans can be brutal

And it’s an extremely fem guy, which makes the ridicule so Much more intense

Once again, if you're a masculine man do not get involved with fems. Get another masculine guy and he'll be whatever you want him to be behind closed doors. And he'll keep his mouth shut. You'll be so much better off for doing it that way.

R131 Dude might as well stick with beotches who do anal

r52 lmao, someone doesn't have 8 fucking kids just to cover up they like tranny sex.

Gay guys don't fuck trannies. Bisexual guys do.

Why does this have to even be considered "outing" - he likes what he likes to cum.

I love watching gays get mocked and harassed. It’ll follow him, and I’ll be on Datalounge watching and enjoying.

Nothing good can come from hanging with the low class tranny,femmy , cross dresser crowd they are nothing but , hookers , scammers and liars!

I can't stand Wendy Williams she's really toxic and has been for the last 30 plus years she's been working in media. I also think she hates other black people too. She always chooses to highlight the worse of black people on her show. She's way to negative for me. I don't understand why anyone legit goes on her show.

Her legacy is going to be shit. She'll never get someone like Oprah to come on her show. She's everything Oprah is against.

R143 I strongly agree with you. You'll end up regretting ever crossing paths with likes of them.

The woman outing him has made shit up in the past. I don't particularly care about the sex life of a man who throws a ball through a hoop for a living, but this needs more time and information.

It's possible that Wendy will be told by a higher up to not talk about it. If she's told not to talk about it by the right people, she won't.

I agree R147.

Dwight seems new to gay sex. He probably wanted to avoid female drama and baby mama drama! The worst mistake he could make is go for a femmie (especially a black one) they are crazier and more drama than females lol

Although it would not surprise me if this scammer is lying and the pastor is the one it messed with and decided to drag Dwight into it for attention when it learned he was associated with Calvin or Calvin told it about Dwight’s trannie parties.

I doubt it, R149. Most likely he is a sex addict.

A few years ago Tracy Mcgrady said that 5% of the NBA is gay.

No big deal.

Today the number is probably about 15-18%. Brothers are sweeter than ever these days and it's only getting worse.

You dumb beotches crack me up!

Lol ^^ good fucking lord. Where’s that webmaster?

Ff R152.

Sharpe not talking about Howard is their way of writing him off completely because he’s gay or bisexual. They expect him to retire immediately. His response was homophobic. The “none of my business” is “keep your homosexuality out of my backyard. They did discuss Tiger Woods.

miss thing does not appear to be credible so media won’t touch it.

Who’s miss thing, Lip Stick Alleyite at R157?

[quote]A few years ago Tracy Mcgrady said that 5% of the NBA is gay.

LMAO I was waiting for someone to bring up Tracy McGrady! He knows those stats personally because he is DL too lol. He and his cousin Vince Carter have had those rumors for years, but they are old school with it unlike Howard. They know you have to keep those queens paid to keep their real tea out the streets.

[quote]It’s hard to believe a down low athlete would get involved with a fem guy.

Child please. A lot of black men have an affinity towards transsexuals. That is why so many black transsexuals end up in prostitution; the money is there because the brothers will pay them. These guys like Hank Baskett, Dwight Howard and Eddie Murphy are just a few of the many!

Hey, Dwight!

These threads always bring out the black homophobes from shit black supremacist sites.

5% doesn't see all that high, probably right in line with the general population. Are we supposed to be surprised that a professional athlete could be gay?

Uh no, we’ve already had an openly gay NBA player. Yawn

R163 that was a scrub though Dwight is an 8 time all start former number one pick in the draft!!

Star*

If a woman was accusing him of shady conduct, the media would be all over it. Homosexuality is still treated like a dirty secret.

R166, of course, it’s a huge stigma

It will always be treated that way, R166.

Royce 🤣🤣🤣

Gurrlll!

Why is the BET lying that the accuser is a trans woman and not a gay man?

I forgot Royce is one of his children's mother. She's so fucking messey. She was funny on basketball wives.

So which is it? A trans woman or a fem gay man? There's a difference

Or a trans man, maybe. Dwight doesn't seem too particular.

I guess they just saw the long weave and assumed "trans" without bothering to read Miss Gyrl's tweets.

I have to think they were dabbling with different identities but sticking with gay man for now.

People looked at the long weave and photoshopped to hell and back face and thought tranny lol

Maisin isn't trans and broke down his pronouns. But he accused Howard of barebacking at trans sex parties.

It looks like "Masin" sometimes presents as female but identifies as a gay male.

I hope this doesn't destroy him. He has an 11 yr old son with internet access. I hope he's on suicide watch.

Eddie Murphy went through something similar and he is still around. He has a ton of kids, too.

yeah, can you believe scary spice said Eddie Murphy was the love of her life and he didn't even want to have anything to do with her lol.

r180, That was before social media. Plus this shim has receipts. Theres pics involved.

My sister's friend committed suicide a few years back after he was out. He was a very alpha masculine type. And really rugged good looking guy. It got out that he discreetly enjoyed giving oral sex to men. And people started talking and asking questions. And photos, videos, and text messages starting going around his circle. And he couldn't take it anymore.

He put a gun to his head and ended his life. His cousin found him dead ten minutes later. He was on the phone with his cousin telling him about everything and his cousin was trying to talk him out of suicide while flying his car halfway across town to save his cousin's and help him. But it was to late.

He couldn't take the fact that everyone knew his secret. And people we're messing with him about what they had uncovered about him. His image was that of a ladies man and a an alpha male and him being outed put an end to that image.

That's why I don't approve of outing anyone. The consequences can some time mean life or death.

This bitch is playing with someone's life.

Do we want to see him get through this? Or, is it more enjoyable to watch the homophobia, the hate—do we like that? I think so, personally. Especially here on this site.

I'm just thinking that much of the NBA had wind of what Dwight was doing in his private time and that it was probably thrown in his face from time to time.

His ex was on Basketball Wives and there must have been gossip among all the female partners of the players about Dwight.

So I think that might have built his armor up a little. Dwight isn't like the poor guy described at R183 in that his secret was probably well known in the NBA. Look at how sloppy Dwight was with just this one hoe that he let collect all these receipts. There will probably be more hoes coming forward if his team doesn't jump on it.

It's different that the public now knows but it is almost like he wanted to be exposed.

[quote] These threads always bring out the black homophobes from shit black supremacist sites.

How fitting that they join the white supremacists here at this shit site.

If both groups would all just drop dead; the world would be a much better place.

Why do black dudes like trans?

White dudes like trans too. Have you ever seen cheaters?

And, they both hate gays R186.

[quote] So, is the mainstream media just going to ignore this story?

I hope so. There is no way to tell this sordid tale without legitimizing homophobia. He's sexually fluid...next!

Why can't he be a boss and just announce that he likes some dick, every now and then? That would be refreshing and it would challenge homophobes who think he should deny it

He's not hot enough for us to care.

Sad that people still thinks it's a bad thing to like the same sex. If he came out, it'd be huge and help shut down homophobes.

R193 It would be in the news for five seconds, than Trump would do something stupid and no one would be talking about it anymore.

This isn't like when lance bass came out. There's a thousand news stories every day. And people's attention spans are limited.

r192, this thread is approaching 200 posts. We care.

Dwight Howard is a huge, albeit unpopular athlete

The Instagram comments were horribly homophobic. Frightening. The hate was from mostly black and Muslim. He had to shut off his comments. It’s a supremacist hate.

Pre game.

Post game

NSFW!!!!

Anybody who browses DataLounge at work is an idiot

R201 Exactly, you never know when you'll come across something crazy on this site.

idk why this is shocking, all just about all men are pretty gay if you ask me.

Masin Elije Live About Dwight Howard & Pastor Calvin

Masin is not trans, but a gay man. According to the video just posted.

But he styles himself to look like a woman at times which makes sense since Dwight like guys who present as women reportedly.

And is that his original name or did he pick it because it could be associated with either a male or female?

[quote] And is that his original name or did he pick it because it could be associated with either a male or female?

And is "Elije" supposed to be like "elegy" ... a lament for the dead?

Why was it even a question if he’s a gay? He has gayface and bottomface for dayz!

Recall reading on Twitter while he was with the Lakers that he was reputed to have an additional three or four baby mamas, in addition to Royce the Orlando cheerleader, who tried to "trap" him. The tweets were all from black women/ "fans" who thought he was gullible and easily taken for his money. Who knows what this means. They claimed he was paying a bank to the various women and wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. I kind of believe this. How best to swat away gay rumors than to impregnate a bunch of women.

It does certainly look like he's a self-hateful "Christian" who was very vocal about his religion and did all sorts of mea culpas when he got the cheerleader impregnated. His quotes on his Wiki page re the pregnancy are incredibly weird and sad. He was also accused of serious corporal punishment of his child by the cheerleader and he claimed he didn't know any better because that's how he was raised. Sick Christians begetting confused, mixed up fabulously wealthy superstars. He's a sad case, indeed.

Sorry if this has already been reported above, but it's a really long thread to get through. I would post those tweets, but they're from five years ago and finding them would be next to impossible.

Why is this even a story? Unlike the Tiger Woods scandal, Dwight is single, and I can't really tell if anything went down but some talking.

To me this isn't nearly as messy or fun as Kerry Rhodes and Mantasia. Miss Hollywood kept ALL the receipts.

R201, my company's network completely blocks datalounge. Strange, how does IT know that datalounge is NFSW?

I'm not a computer whiz, but I imagine there are certain buzz words on this site that triggers a NFSW.

[quote]it's a really long thread to get through

Your tricks must be delighted with you.

[quote] So, is the mainstream media just going to ignore this story?

R101 Is Newsweek considered mainstream? They now have an article up filed under "Culture."

I'm still trying to figure out stuff. All I know is that there are phone conversations, and that the pastor was trying to quiet this guy.

Personally, I would have just ignored the dude, because I'm not seeing receipts like at R211.

.....

[quote] Is Newsweek considered mainstream? They now have an article up filed under "Culture."

The truth about the world we live in is that a story isn't a story until it's a headline on the Daily Mail.

Zzzzz

He's not really a household name so who cares. I haven't heard of him before this. But I agree that a lot of NBA players are probably on the dl.

I think the gay community prefers closeted gay and bisexual men as opposed to out gay abd bisexual. It’s more interesting, scandalous, gossipy, shocking, taboo—that’s what the gay community thrives on. Secrecy and shame.

^ People who follow basketball know who he is

Did Wendy Williams mention him on her show today?

r220 He was one of its biggest stars, and has been an All-Star for many years and was in the Olympic starting five at one or two Olympics, where they select the best player for each position in the country; he was in the boulevard and social media quite a bit, did some acting, and he has been called Superman, because he is one of the greatest athletes the sport has ever seen, possibly the greatest, and no chem needed - pure power, pure muscle, speed, jump, force, all of it, didn't make enough out of his athletic abilities, but he has been a very remarkable player and still is pretty good; don't think he is gay, though.

His best time after High school was in Orlando, did very well there, then he went to the Lakers, the most important franchise in basketball and in its maybe third best time in history, and the media and the public and him had high hopes, but didn't get along with Kobe, the biggest diva, and maybe the city was just too big and scary for this little big boy superman from the South. After all his years in the NBA and journey he was still selected by Air Jordan now for his team, the greatest ever.

ESPN and other sports outlets are not going to report on this until it becomes a criminal investigation or if Howard does a coming out interview. Otherwise, this is just gossip.

R220, you must be clueless about sports dude. He’s very well known

What do you think he is R224, if not gay?

ANYONe who doesn’t know who he is is out of touch.

"Otherwise, this is just gossip."

When has ESPN ever shied away from gossip?

They're all over gossip, as long as it's not gay gossip.

As others have corrected, Dwight Howard is absolutey a big name. I'm far from some basketball fanatic but I know who he is.

So was Dwight fukin Pastor Calvin too.....i mean the way he ran in to defend his husband

The John Wall memes are hilarious,especially the mimicking Allstate ...."she's hideous " ; ; "Well she's a man,so..."

There have been whispers for years.The height was Howard not marrying that Basketball Wife I still don't know why this was done Everybody knows you will be asked to sign an NDA if your playing with these high profile sportsstars.

R228 Sorry, dude. I pay attention to hockey and no other sport. No clue who this dude is. I think you meant "Anyone who doesn't follow sports is out of touch".

R233, there are hockey dudes who like trans to. My friend met a trick online who claims he has clients in the NHL.

R234 I don't doubt it. It's a big world, and it takes all kinds.

I know who Dwight is but I can understand if someone who doesn't follow basketball or sports gossip doesn't know him.

I knew who he was and I make Masin look like Thor.

r211, Kerry Rhodes is straight. He dated Whitney Cummings.

Um.....

R239 he loves bbc

Yep, he likes the dick!

[R239]

I had assumed that was fake.Wow.....so the Colby vs Howard video is true too

Howard called Bryants dyck small and Bryant quickly replied"Its on soft"........

[quote]ESPN and other sports outlets are not going to report on this until it becomes a criminal investigation or if Howard does a coming out interview. Otherwise, this is just gossip.

As well they should. I mean this is some luke warm tea which all about phone chatting. You would think with all of that chatting, Masin would have been able to snap a pic. Seriously, he's recording conversation. How about sneaking in a hidden cam or something?

With that said, why is he so mad at Howard, because he wanted to sign a NDA?

guguygujg

Wonder if Howard's CIS companion (the accuser is pre-op,something online folks played down for whatever reason)made videos

It kinda sounded like Masin was planning on outing him no matter what; he was putting a lot of pressure on him in that chat and phone call. A MESS.

She how Queen Latifah’s career dried up when she was outed. She never confirmed or denied but the photos spoke for themselves. It’s difficult to be a LGB Black person in the public eye.

Latifah is way different then Howard situation,the entertainment business is not a rigid as pro sports.

Thomas Roberts and reporters for the local CBS affiliate in Atlanta - CBS46 - have now reported on it. (Howard is from Atlanta.)

Ewww..Thomas Roberts is now doing local news. That's the real scandal here R249

Yeah r250, I was thinking THAT Thomas Roberts?

Wow bro

I want video of Howard in these orgies

-I know iam not the only one

^^ I know I just want see that black muscle ass tooted up in the air!

Those legs must touch the ceiling.

[R254]

Six foot bottoms are exciting when they become verse

Naw, that sounds far fetched and a plain lie

Deadspin is covering the story now.....they claim they reached out to Howard and he didn't respond....

Did Wendy Williams cover it on her show today?

R259, I saw a bit of her show today. She didn't. I changed the channel after a while. She was talking about toni braxton and her ex.

[quote]it's not a good idea to get involved with femme gays. Their way to emotional, especially when they don't get their way. And they will out you in a heartbeat, just to get back at you and to cause problems for you.

What a LUDICROUS assertion!

Wendy doesn't do gay gossip on tv like she did on the radio.

More risk of defamation lawsuits

Surprised he didn't arrange for the bf to die in an "accident" like the trans hooker who Eddie Murphy picked up

If anything happens to the bf, even an "accident ", everything will be on Dwight and then every media outlet will report it.

He should have written a hush money check

^ I think that's what got him in trouble, not giving up more money.

R267 that fug hoe isn’t worth it

Uh oh

^ The jokes write themselves!!!

It's probably sciatica. He needs to see a chiropractor.

Lord have mercy, Dwight done tore a booty muscle fooling with these queens.

I'd love to see that naked ass perched up on the examination table!

Ebony is covering it in relation to the homophobia transphobia angle.

Strange that he hasn't denied it

He's probably been advised not to say anything

I could see a denial putting an unwelcome spotlight on it to prove that he's lying.

Yeah, it’s a delicate situation. Even if it’s a total lie, you don’t want to give legitimate media a reason to acknowledge the story.

[R274]

His morals clause in his NBA contract probably got him muted.An mix in the rumors about freak parties when he was in Texas.With men and women. Howard may be looking at the end of his career.

Howard has survived a lot of antipathy through the years. He is a soldier

A soldier in the army of douches, maybe

It's been announced he's getting surgery and will be out for 2-3 months. I guess they're hoping that the story will have disappeared by the time he's back playing. The NBA is a huge business and something like this getting legs would be damaging for not only Dwight but the entire league. I'm sure there are other gay players and there are many instances of playings being freaky (they're young men after all), but for the most part, this type of thing is kept out of the press. It wouldn't surprise me if Dwight's recovery time was extended for the rest of the season -- out of sight out of mind. I guess it all depends on whether or not they can make it disappear.

I don't have any great love for DH but I think this was a case of extortion, pure and simple.

What extortion? He didn't get any money

He's a film producer now.

If a woman was claiming Dwight threatened her, the media would be all over it

Not if the threats were the weak sauce that Masin threw out there. In fact, he never said Dwight threaten him. He said the pastor wanted to force an NDA on him, and he feared it would silence him if anything happened. Total B.S.

This whole thing really troubles me. I don't care a lick if Dwight is gay or not, but I know this ordeal is having a real effect on him. I don't care what his reputation is with other players, he is one of the dearest, sweetest boys(well I have known him since he was a boy) and I hate seeing him being further beaten up by the NBA crowd.

Dwight wasn't made for the mess his life has been since 2004--his body pretty much forced him into being a player, and his parents are very pushy as well. He wanted to go to Duke, but his family pushed him into entering the draft when he was mentally(maturity wise I mean) about 14-15. And he has never caught up.

I hope he retires and moves to Europe or somewhere he can start over as a gay man, a tranny chaser or whatever the hell he defines himself as.

R286 He will leave behind so many kids, if he does that.

r286

Bullshit, he has had more opportunities shoved at him in a year than the rest of us reading this will have in a lifetime. If he made stupid choices, own up to them and accept the consequences.

He's yet another professional victim, nothing is his fault and you're enabling him by giving him excuses to fail, when he was surrounded by reasons to succeed.

If he wants to sleep around, that's fair enough, but don't complain when you get caught.

R285, that's not true. There was a lying woman who claimed she was having Justin Bieber's baby and the media was all over it despite the fact that she couldn't prove she even met him

But the media has to pretend there aren't any gay actors, singers, rappers, or athletes.....
