An Expensive Hook Up

[Blind Gossip] This famous professional athlete is gay. You know who he is because we’ve talked about his beard before.

Well, a few months ago he hooked up with a guy. Nothing unusual about the encounter… except that the guy secretly recorded it!

The athlete paid $20K for the recording. That’s not a lot of money for him. However, the situation may not be as resolved as the athlete hopes.

The guy has a copy of it of the video. For safekeeping. Or future blackmail.

    • I agree but you just have to watch the news to see (sadly) still in 2017 there are MANY who care, esp sports fans…not all but enough and sponsors/ mgmt teams who make money off the athlete in various ways know this. Same as performers. Follow the money chain.

    • His team needs to take a page from those like Tiger and others who reportedly will have ‘intimate’ contact with them to sign a non- disclosure agmt (NDA) or similar and in cases like Prince Harry phones are often temp confiscated. Cheaper then payoffs and with digital images the copies are endless and virtually impossible to trace/ scrub.

    • Typo should say anyone the athlete / celeb may/ will have intimate contact with even for ahem a very short time. Take that where you will.

    • I don’t think this is Aaron Rodgers. After all those rumors about his ex-roommate, he plays everything very close to the belt. I doubt he’d let one fall through without a NDA. Rumor is he even made his family sign one.

  8. Aaron Rodgers!

    1) Come out!
    2) Have the kid arrested.
    3) Hunker down and get ready to deal with the fallout… PreSeason starts in 5 months. Maybe it will mostly be over before then. (Probably not!!) Maybe it’s time to retire?

    I’m sad this is the way things worked out (even if it isn’t Rodgers). Sux that pro athletes feel they have to hide such a significant portion of their lives. He hasn’t done anything wrong, but this will cost him when it becomes public.

  10. Recording someone and blackmailing based on sexual orientation. Wrong.

    Whomever did this, karma’s a *.

    As for the athlete, unfortunate that he can’t come out but alas, most professional sports continue to be very ugly toward out athletes.

  11. Aaron Rodgers

    He needs to consult with his “handlers” and let them deal with the blackmailing slime ball. Catch the creep on tape shaking the athlete down for money (extortion) and threaten HIM with jail time if he doesn’t hand over the tape. The athlete is one dumb jock for not keeping his c * in his pants where civilians and randoms are concerned.

    • Exactly. Or you as the athlete control where the hookup occurs. That way, there’s no hidden video cams in the hotel room or the guys apt. He should have known better. $20,000 was a test to see if he’d pay. There’s gonna be more pressure but the blackmailer is dealing with fire.

  13. Aaron Rodgers

    I hate to say it, but I wouldn’t come out just yet. I mean, when you play for the Greenbay Packers – it’s just gonna be nickname hell for him and the team brand.

    He could be a great example. But I want his focus on the game and then go out – or come out – with a BANG! Then he can bang whoevahhh he chooses. It would be best on the last year of playing for the team or right before retirement or when he wins a Super Bowl.

    I just know I’d love to have me Aaron Rodgers…

  14. Guessing Aaron Rodgers,

    The only way for someone to blackmail you is if you do wrong, or if you lie to yourself,

    Nothing wrong with being gay. own that.

    Hello, 2017, own who you love.

  15. Of course he does! What fool would think that there was only one copy, and it would be given up that easily? LOL

  17. AARON RODGERS / OLIVIA MUNN ?

    TEBOW / OLIVIA CULPO ?

    there are more closeted player but I cant think of it. dude, that recording will always exist…..it will hang over his head for life. They will ALWAYS keep a copy.

  21. Aaron Rogers. Anyone who says wilson is wrong Aaron still not married. russell married twice and baby on way. Rogers doesnt talk to family because they know. he shd pay more. i wish he cd come out but with trump hate culture lately it wd affect his endorsements n owners. most players wd be ok with it. hate crimes on the rise due to trump fear mongering and he is racist, sexist etc

  22. Athlete: I don’t know. So many to choose from.

    Optional: He should come out & join the team officially. We don’t bite… unless you want us to

  26. Aaron Rodgers? But if so, I’d think he’d pay wayyy more than $20K for video evidence…

  29. This is Russell Wilson

    Clue: Future Blackmail

    Russell’s wife is Ciara who used to date Future.

  32. Think about it. Everyone, not just celebs-now has to worry that an illicit sex act or act of violence will be taped without their knowledge. There are no “casual pick-ups” anymore. I wish everyone would just come out and play!

  33. Aaron Rodgers ( who I’m not sure actually is gay, but I know there are rumors)

    Cristiano Ronaldo ( who I’m definitely leaning towards actually being gay)

  34. Apparently most male celebrities are gay, and are in fake relationships with beards. That probably explains why my celebrity crushes have never come and swept me off my feet. I feel better, as I was starting to think that my mojo just wasn’t working!

  35. Hey, Aaron, just have your business manager issue him a 1099 and let the IRS deal with him!

    And come out!

  36. O’dell Beckham Jr (I think that’s how you spell it)

    He should notify the authorities and his agent.
