Beckford has come forward to reveal that the impact of that moment is still being felt in his day-to-day life, and he faults Kim Kardashian and Wendy Williams for starting this bizarre rumor. Tyson reveals that this situation may have fizzled out for him, but it never truly disappeared, and he went on to indicate that he has no idea why anyone would ever assume he was gay or weigh in on his sexuality out of spite.
One thing that Tyson made abundantly clear was the fact that he has no problem with the gay community and isn't insulted about the insinuation. In fact, he remains a champion of the LGBTQ+ community and indicates that the community has rallied around him during this drama, in support of his situation.
He's quite sick of this following him around though and isn't afraid to call out the people responsible for starting the rumor in the first place and says this rumor continues to run wild.
Tyson Beckford Slams Kim Kardashian And Wendy Williams
This all began when Tyson was having a conversation about Kim Kardashian having plastic surgery done, and Kim then proceeded to unleash on him by sending messages that implied he was gay, and that was perhaps the only reason he wasn't 'into her.'
When Kim Kardashian took it upon herself to insinuate that Tyson Beckford was gay, and Wendy Williams threw her two cents in to say the same, it was likely nothing more to them than some simple shade throwing and a snarky comment that made them feel superior.
On the other hand, Tyson suffered greatly as he continues to have to justify and explain his sexual orientation as a result of the misinformation that they had spread.
The Impact Is Real
The impact this has has on his life is real. Tyson insists that this has been blown so far out of proportion and that the rumor has followed him around for three long years.
He's stunned that Kim could be so juvenile that she had to clap back in the way that she did, and states that starting a rumor isn't really a way of fighting back. If she didn't like comments he made about her plastic surgery, she could have addressed that directly, rather than fabricating stories that have a negative impact for years to come.
The false information is something that Tyson continues to contend with, and many have questioned his sexual orientation after this incident.
Tyson respectfully continues to state that he respects the gay community and isn't offended by the classification, and puts the focus on Kim's damaging words and her inability to fight clean.
