“Drugged” gay porn boxer admits he lied, comes out
American professional boxer Yusaf Mack has admitted that he wasn’t drugged to appear in a gay porn film, also revealing that he’s bisexual.
After the explicit three-way video on the DawgpoundUSA.com website recently came to light, Mack told the media that he didn’t remember filming the scenes because he’d been drugged by someone on the set.
The 35-year-old also insisted that he was as heterosexual as one could be and that he would never touch another man other than to fight him in the ring.
The site denied the claim and threatened to sue the boxer, who’s since come clean about the incident, admitting that he lied and has been leading a double life.
In a statement to Black Sports Online, the father of ten children confirmed: “I was completely aware and fully conscious during the film.
“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.”
He went on to explain that he lied because, “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.”
Mack apologised to his fans, his children and his ex fiancé for being a “coward” and hiding a huge part of his life from them.
“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,” said the sportsman.
“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,” Mack stated.
