Al Reynolds is misunderstand, y'all.
The soon-to-be former Mr. Star Jones was us to pity him! Boo hoo.
B.G.A. has just posted a big gay rant on his official MySpace.
This is what he has to say:
"Dear Friends: If you think you are having a tough day, may I propose
you walk in my shoes for a few hours. In my mind, it feels like =93Dump
on Al Month.=94 And I=92m not having fun yet. I have been called a gigolo,
a freeloader, unemployed, a sham and many other things that don=92t bear
repeating. People on television, radio and the internet have spoken
disparagingly of my life, my ***uality, my career and my integrity.
The media has barraged me (at my home), my friends, my
family(including my 79 year old mother), my college classmates, my
students and my professional colleagues. Yet, despite this intense
level of provocation, I have said nothing. My Publicist has put out a
one sentence statement: =93We=92re taking the high road.=94 And we have
and
will continue on that path. As much as I want to defend myself, it
seems like a silly and futile exercise. It=92s clear that the media
doesn=92t want to let the truth get in the way of a good story. I hate
to ruin their fun. I take great comfort in the fact that my loved ones
and those people who really know me continue to love and respect me.
Thank you =93all=94 for the endless emails, phone calls and words of
encouragement. I know in my heart that I entered my marriage with love
and the best of intentions and leave it with great sadness that it
didn=92t work. What the world doesn=92t know about me would fill a book,
but I know who I am and what I have achieved in my life. Before I met
Star Jones I was a successful Wall Street banker and since then I have
become an entrepreneur, an educator and soon, an author. I grew up in
a working class home, a mobile home in fact. I understand the
struggles of the working class. My mother was a teacher and my father
was in the military. I was given values, integrity and a strong moral
upbringing (thanks mom and dad). In these hard economic times, I am
working to take my knowledge and experience of the business world and
use it to empower and enlighten working class Americans who are often
=91left behind=92 by traditional financial advice. I educate inspiring
young men and women at Florida Memorial University, a historically
black liberal arts university in Miami, Florida. I continue to follow
my entrepreneurial spirit in the world of business and investment
while completing my doctorate in Organizational Leader****p. So I
indeed work very hard as a professor, business owner, doctoral student
and author. I play hard too. I make no apologies for that. A guy is
entitled to a little fun, after all. What I want people to know is
that I am not the caricature ****trayed by the media. I am complex,
contradictory and capable of great intelligence but also remarkable
stupidity. In other words, I am a human being. To me, labels are for
clothes, not people. So=85..Please don=92t try to define me; don=92t try
to
categorize me; and most of all, don=92t label me. Instead, JUST GET TO
KNOW ME. And if you see me, just call me Al."
