'I'm not gay,' Howard told Kristine Leahy

-- who claimed he had a sexual relationship with Howard and claimed Howard threatened him with violence if he went public about it. across the board -- but told Kristine that the whole case caused him tremendous amounts of emotional pain. Dwight says he received a lot of hate from people who THOUGHT he was gay -- and says he now understands why people are afraid to come out and be their true selves in public.

Howard says he spent months reflecting on his life after the allegations went public -- and thought long and hard about how he wants to be remembered ... especially when it comes to his kids. As for the allegations, Howard is adamant he NEVER met the accuser and has no idea why the man would go to such lengths to lie about him.

"It upset me because I didn't even know who the person was. Why would somebody who I've never met, never had any contact with make up a whole story about me?"

Fake news, he is

So what?

Who cares

Rite but those pants Thou!

Alex what is a bisexual for $200?

I don’t understand why this is something he feels the need to confirm or deny. This isn’t the late 80’s/early 90’s where there was so much stigma attached to being gay.

He's not gay, he just likes men... 😂🤣😴

Just bi lol

That hair do lmao 😂

Lol

Walk like a duck 🦆,,,,

You just put a bulls eye on his back. Once you start to defend, the skeptics will pounce.

I'm not gay either; who cares?

100% confirmed

And I’m not a Doctor. Pssft

In the words of Don King “Only in America!!!” Seriously though, only in America because the rest of this continent has moved past caring what someone does in the privacy of their bedroom and who they do it with

That video was hella sus

That shade of blue on a suit determined that was a lie

Slow news day?

Why bring this back up now tho lol...

still gay

FOX5Atlanta He’s gay lol he grabbed another mans crouch.

Who cares if he is or isn’t.

thou does protest too much 🌈

Sounds like he’s in The Nile.

So what? No one should give a damn!

Even if he is who tf cares?

Lol

Hey DwightHoward live your life dosent make a difference ...Anyone who does care either way is ridiculous...

Still can’t keep a straight face lol

yeyameister all this time you’ve been hating on a homosexual in the closet 😂 how do u feel now lmao

who cares!!

no more butt injuries please Dwight , please focus on your career

Whatever

ok?

I didnt know there was a lawsuit so not everybody knows anyways

K bi

He's gay.

I’m not believing him

😂😂 This Guy

Who was asking? Lol

Troydan

Next!

How many times are you going to Tweet this?🙄

DwightHoward the fact that you have to say it, means that you are lying. Welcome to the most fabulous you, you have ever had.

Where there is smoke, there is fire.

Great work TMZ, I can now rest at night....

Who cares

Id never heard of Dwight Howard till just now, but um, ok, thanks, just incase i was wondering HES NOT GAY! - ummm. K. 🤨

which was weird because the interviewer asked him how he has been spending his off-season!

Ok - and we all need to know this -Why?

Is not gay but he like sexual relations with man🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This doesn’t clear anything up. I heard of some men that has sex with other men but do not consider themselves gay. Eh...🤷🏽‍♀️!

That's BS when you have footage of you looking at a dude in a sexual way and grab his penis during a NBA game.

Not sure why anyone gives a shit

Even if he is, is not bad business. asyouwere

Well explain grabbin ya teammates bo-wiggles?

I don't think anyone cares if he is or not.

Who cares ...

👍

He's not... Well completley anyway, he's bi... 😂

Ok bisexual

If he say so

Who cares.

I hope he figures out how to come out one of these days

So what?

You say U aren’t gay but I do know for a fact that you suck in the NBA. Nobody wants you on their team because the effort from you is about 50% at best.

And this is why there isn't an openly gay athlete in the NFL, NBA, or MLB. They'll get treated bad. They have to stay in the closet.

Who cares honey?

He better not be.

The fact that he had to come out and say that....kinda proves his statement false

Lol and we care why?

He's a top-tier power bottom.

😂😂😂

FOX5Atlanta Good for you. Me neither

He tried it once and did not like it , so that makes him not gay?🤔

And then?

That’s the only way he’s gonna get back on a NBA, by saying that.

Sounds gay

But u r soft.

I don’t care either way. 🏀

Who cares.

Slow news day hey Harvey?

Please tell me he followed it up with “not that there’s anything wrong with that”

Who was asking and who the hell cares?!

Why do you care, TMZ?

FOX5Atlanta Me neither.

This is just really bringing more attention to a story we already forgot about. Yikes Ma...

Why would this even be a discussion? Who the heck cares about your sexual orientation?

LOL

.........

I'm Gay (I'm Happy) - Lil B

Who care if he is. Love is love

He’s gay! He just needs to be real with himself...it’s ok!

So what? Tired of people announcing their sexuality. Allhumans

Who is he

I noticed you guys had a typo in your title so I fixed it for you.

Damn so Dwight Howard is gay?

Soft ass boii

😂 sure Dwight

Who was checking for this man? I thought his goofy ass was out of the league.

It was alleged that Dwight Howard tried to force a transgendered man into signing an NDA after offering to have sex with him/her/it!

But he could be telling the truth he could actually be just bisexual. Being gay means you just like men. He apparently likes both.

He looks gay

I’m loss where is this coming from? I'm just saying

Who?

So did high pitch jdharm sternshow

No problem being gay if you say you are gay...otherwise.

jkhendrixson

Dwight don’t feel as if you need to defend yourself. Who the heck cares.

Why is this a thing...who cares what the mans sexual preference is 🤷🏻‍♂️. Do better

I don’t care if you are or aren’t.

Yes you are Man..... you grabbed another Mans Balls 😩🤦🏾‍♂️

No one cares about the truth when the lies more entertaining. 🥺

Why did 2chainz get a haircut

Bi

I knew he was a cocksukcer.

Who gives a shit

And I oop-

Who cares

Who the heck is Dwight Howard? Who cares if he is gay or no. That's his perogative.

If you not gay you shouldn't have to explain yoself

Who cares

handymayhem Homophobe

I believe that woman when she posted up them videos and I believe that he's bisexual

Nobody cares if he is. Come out and be proud.

You know what that means.

If u have to make an announcement to the world that u not gay, then there’s a huge possibility that u are gay. And nothing is wrong with that.

thelonelyisland

handymayhem They cut off the rest of his quote. 'Your only gay if you take it. Therefore Im not gay'

Yea right sista 😉

Sigh

Who gives a shit really 🤷🏽‍♀️

Uh huh... 😏😂😭🤣

That’s a lie 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣😂😭

He's technically telling the truth. He's Bi... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Who cares! 🤔

Doesn't matter either way, Dwight. Be you.

Dwight you should have addressed this when it first came out. Silence is golden.

Am I suppose to care who he loves? Love who you love Bro!!!

If you gotta say it....

He lying 🤥 🤥🤥🤥🤥

🧢

Who care not me 😏😏🤔

Really DwightHoward who cares about that 😂 but your career NBA 😱... .

I’m not gay as in I’m always the one putting it in, or... perspective

Just in Dwight Howard's boyfriend unhappy with recent claims

So what if you are🌈🤗

It’s pretty petty that his baby mother started spreading the rumor. I know she isn’t the only one but she contributed to it and it weaponized the idea that being gay is a bad thing and two they need to be civil because they have a kid

Riiiiggghhhttttt!!!!!

Who cares?

But his boyfriend is.

Who the hell cares

Why do people assume someone is gay even if he hasn’t come out as one? Some People need to mind their damn business!

_Inyo_ Why is this news

What’s this infatuation y’all have with gay folks yo.? Why is someone’s sexuality even news? I don’t get it.. and never will!

If you have to defend yourself with that comment, 9/10 you are. 😂

I hate when people try to out others or make up rumors, ihe should not have to confirm or deny whether he is gay.

Hmmmmph

He also said I am not the RZA 😂

But.. you are on voicemail with... nvm

Suuuuuure you’re not....

To his mirror

Who cares

Yes he is 😂😂😂

His boyfriend isn’t gay either.

Dwight Howard headed into the 2019-2020 NBA season like...

DwightHoward

No, he just plays like one.

outsports

Whew. Dodged a bullet there.

Slow news day in sports I guess ' just be' like you said.

Hope he used a cape lol

His boyfriend is SHOOK !!!!

~dwight howard~ —okay—nobody cares where you get your butt meat from—can you still play—

The hair says different.

No problem Dwight. You be whoever you are. The only reason I’d care what your orientation was is if you’re hitting on me and that ain’t gonna happen.

He’s not gay... He’s bi 🤷🏾‍♀️

Who cares if he is?

who

So what if he was? Homosexuality is natural population control which is why it’s found in nature. It’s part of God’s plan and nothing to be mocked or feared.

Nobody cares!!! Do you Boo-boo!!!😂😂😂

Who cares...let us know when he finally says he is gay.

With that hair.... okay

Homophobe!! Spark the fabricated outrage that’s encouraged by today’s culture and society!

Who the hell cares. All I want to know is can you play basketball.

Why is it r concern if he's gay? It's his life.

why is this news! lol who cares what he is into

He has other problems to deal with like trying to revive his career and finding a suitable team.

Man that shit sound suspect

Is Rapinoe going to call him a bigot now?

Hahahahahaha

BrandonIsWhoIAm

D12 don't mean he likes dicks 12in? 😂

Who cares!

I didn't even know that was a possibility.

Why is it even an issue, love and bang who you want

Dwight Howard “im not gay, my boyfriend is”

This is like trump saying “I don’t have a racist bone in my body”

Yeah you are bro, I have never seen someone who isn't gay have to defend not being gay.....

He likes young girls.......

Why would anyone think he is gay?

Nobody cares dude....

Something non-gay people never have to say, “I’m not gay.”

LOL _hussainbolt

I only give the D. Never received. So I ain't gay. 😂

But he did not say he is heterosexual! At least if he was gay it would explain his disappointing career. KingJames

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Most random TMZ post ever
