LeBlanc Fights Former Driver's Tabloid Gay Sex Slur

[sundog]

Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc is fighting allegations he once hired a chauffeur to set him up with backseat gay sex trysts, by insisting he has never had sex with a man. LeBlanc is furious with former driver Damian Plumleigh after the chauffeur took his story to American tabloid National Enquirer and even passed a lie detector test as he revealed all about the actor's alleged seedy past. LeBlanc insists he doesn't care what the results of a polygraph test were - Plumleigh is a liar. The actor, who is a happily married father and stepfather, fumes, "I have never asked to be set up with gay hustlers. It's absolutely not true. I am not bisexual. I am not gay. I have never had sex with men. Setting the record straight is not only important because of me and my life, but also because of my family." The outraged star insists even Plumleigh's claims he used to work for the actor are untrue. He adds, "Plumleigh drove me on a few occasions. When he says he hooked me up for gay sex, it's a 100 per cent lie. He worked for the company that Warner Brothers used. He was part of a hired limo service. He was not employed by me. I was uncomfortable with him so I stopped using him."

Suuuuuuure Matt

[Strawman]

1. Is this story a plant to spark interest in his crappy new show? n/t

[pagerbear]

2. Planted news stories for publicity? Who would do that?!

3. maybe a publicity ploy to draw the gay audience...

who cares? I still won't watch that crap... he's still dull...

and yes, probably closeted too

4. Uhhh, sure

One could be forgiven for taking the last line in your post as being a tad sarcastic. Any reason why?

Did you or anyone you know have homosexual sex with Matt LeBlanc?

If not, then we are faced with two points of view. He said, he said.

Driver says yes, celebrity says no.

How much do you think the driver wants to get this story to go away?

How much did he get from the newspaper?

What is considered a "reliable source" in a situation like this?

If A accuses B, and B denies the charges, it is up to A to prove them. Unsubstantiated claims don't meet the hurdle.

6. yes, I was being saracastic...

only because I felt like being sarcastic

Tom Cruise buried the guy who said he had sex with him...

But I do get a little sick of closeted celebrities who make denials only to secure their multi-million dollar corporate contracts.

Meanwhile, the rest of us (poor gays) are on the ground fighting the war & swimming in the riptide every day just to make progress.

Yes, sometimes closeted celebrity types make me really sick.

5. But most of all...

Who cares???

What kind of world do we live in where what adults do in private, not harming anyone else, makes the news and then people talk about it? (Including me....)

Why should I care if he did or didn't do that, my outrage is that it gets reported.

7. I know someone who is on a first name basis with Matt LeBlanc...

And from all accounts the man is NOT a homosexual. My friend never mentioned Matt's sexuality in any conversation we had, but from arbitrary comments he has made about Matt in our conversations would lead anyone to believe Matt is a happy heterosexual.

The driver is probably some sick, gay, nut case who had a thing for Matt.

I agree with you jilln...WHO CARES?
