Breaking News: Desmond Elliot Dismisses Gay Rumors, Says "I'm Straight" Amid Social Media Buzz
Nollywood star and Lagos politician Desmond Elliot has firmly dismissed rumors questioning his sexuality, following a blog post that named several Nigerian celebrities, including actors and reality stars, as allegedly gay. The list, which quickly circulated online, sparked backlash and discussions across social media platforms.
In an interview with TVC, Elliot dismissed the accusations, stating that he has more significant concerns than responding to unfounded claims. "Why would I respond to allegations made against me when it did not reduce or increase my life?” he asked, adding that his focus remains on his work and positive impact.
Elliot emphasized, "I am straight. You can never have anyone straighter than me." He addressed those who might enjoy the publicity from such controversies, but expressed little interest in engaging with it, saying, "Do you and enjoy yourself but do it within the law and with respect to your neighbors."
The actor-turned-politician, who has previously faced both praise and criticism for his career transition, reiterated his commitment to serving the public and to maintaining integrity in his personal life.
