Fiancee says Aaron Hernandez denied rumours he was gay
BOSTON — Former NFL player Aaron Hernandez said rumours that he was gay or bisexual were not true, his former fiancee said in an interview on the “Dr. Phil” show that aired Tuesday.
Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez made the remark during the second part of a two-part interview with host Dr. Phillip McGraw. The first part aired on Monday.
Jenkins-Hernandez said Hernandez denied the rumours during a conversation she had with him about his sexuality. She said Hernandez was “very much a man” to her and called the rumours “embarrassing” and “hurtful.”
“If that was him, I wouldn’t fault him for that. … We’re in 2017. There are so many people that are coming out,” she said.
