OK, again let’s reiterate that Kerry Rhodes has denied being gay in any way shape or form. Enter a guy named Russel “Hollywood” Simpson who claims to be Rhode’s ex-boyfriend. This man did not spill the tea, he turned the tea pot upside down and shook out every last alleged drop onto the table for all to see.
Rhodes, who as we previously discussed, is a free agent and this type of story could unfortunately ruin his chances of getting picked up by another team. So this being brought up now, is odd if not cruel. You don’t just get to be in the NFL because you feel like it. It takes a life time of hard work and preparation So, if this “Hollywood” guy was actually in love with Rhodes for real, why would he be so willing to throw this man under a bus? It’s not fair that things work this way in the NFL, but as for now, that’s the reality. Outting him smacks of opportunism and greed. It’s also very possible that this man is lying for a paycheck or to punish Rhodes for some reason. At any rate, here is some of what “Hollywood” had to say.
“I was like his wife. I ran the household and took care of all his personal needs. If anyone needed anything from Kerry they came to me! That’s what Kerry loved about me. i didn’t take no sh*t from nobody. Kerry is kinda a dumb athlete, like a dumb jock. So, I took care of things that he didn’t understand. And yes, his teammates did know about me. It was kinda unspoken but I was at all his training camps and events. The other wives knew and loved me too. I was always there. It was no secret!”
Bossip: Did you benefit because of this relationship? What gifts did Kerry buy you any special gifts?
“Kerry paid for everything. We had a very good life together. I always got any and everything I ever asked for. Vacations, red bottoms, the private jet in my video was us going to training camp together. I had a driver and he even gave me his Aston Martin. He later bought me my own car and because I’m not a dumb bi**h I made sure to get it my own name and he paid the whole thing off! He treated me very well. I will never talk bad about him in that way because he was really good to me.”
Bossip: How did you feel when Kerry denied being gay? Did he reach out to you?
“Yes he actually text me like “Hey baby, can you just not say anything about all this” but that’s what I don’t like. He’s lying because he’s trying to protect his free agency. He’s not going to be one of those guys who come out in the league because he cares too much about that. But why is he lying?? LOOK AT THE PICS!! He loved me and now he’s lying. That’s why I put him out there because he came for me. I’m not here for fame. He wanted me to have a reality show because he said I was destined for it. His teammates said I had a great personality and encouraged me to be on TV. This was our life! This was real!”
While “Hollywood” claims there is nothing in it for him and therefore no reason to lie, (Sure doesn’t sound like that to us) he is also trying to push a reality show starring guess who? Yes Him! We wish Kerry Rhodes all the luck in the world after this. We hope he gets another NFL gig and can put this person and whole situation in the past. Whether it’s true or not, this “Hollywood” guy knew that all he had to do was say it, and it could ruin that man’s life and everything he’s worked for. Good luck finding anyone else to trust and or employ you. Another fine example of how money can’t buy class.
