Colquitt Opens Up About His Past
In 2019, Radar Online revealed that Colquitt had a “secret past with gay porn.”
In an exclusive interview with the outlet, Colquitt reportedly said, “Gay porn is a part of my past and I did it when I was going through a rough time. I got a presidential scholarship, but I didn’t have any money to pay for any type of living expenses, so I couldn’t go to college. I was trying to do so many different things and it was just not enough.”
He added, “Being a homosexual was not a part of my lifestyle that I am comfortable with. But doing that was a safer way of not being close to people and still being able to pay for my journey. Honestly, I was not expecting it to go as big as it did. So, I went to a place where I just gave up. I did not want to let anyone down and I did what I had to do to keep the money going.”
At the time of the interview, Colquitt said he had found a different means of making money– by selling pound cakes with his mother through a company called Pound 4 Sound that is no longer active.
Colquitt most recently uploaded a video chronicling his health progress on Monday. He sings in the video, as well.
