2022 Rewind: 'Survivor' Fan Favorite Ozzy Lusth Comes Out as Bisexual
EDGE is looking back at 2022 and we're resharing some of our favorite stories of the year.
"Survivor" star Ozzy Lusth, who has appeared on four seasons of the long-running CBS reality show, took to Twitter Friday to come out as bisexual.
"And for my Republican Colleagues, and anyone else who matters, Yeah I'm Bisexual. Am I committing crimes??" he wrote. "If so come get me. Let us ALL live with dignity. Ask yourself if you support people, or the fucked dogma you've been fed #ozzyisBi"
It's unclear what prompted Lusth, 40, for the tweet.
He went on to write:
Lusth started his "Survivor" career in 2006 with "Survivor: Cook Islands," later appearing on "Survivor: Micronesia" and "Survivor: South Pacific." Most recently, he appeared on Season 34, "Survivor: Game Changers." Since the show, Lusth has launched an OnlyFans account and spoke with Paper magazine last year about why he decided to start the x-rated account.
"I don't give a fuck about what anybody thinks. I know I'm a good guy. I have morals and ethics and I do right by people. My parents love me. I told them that I was going to do this. They were like, 'Are you sure you want to do that?' And I said, 'Yeah,'" he said, later adding, that, at the time, he was dating porn star Kissa Sins.
"[J]ust seeing her experience in the adult industry and getting a little closer to it personally made me more fascinated by it," Lusth said. "I always had thought it would be fun to do, but never really took it seriously because I had other interests. But being with her and exploring what it means to connect to people made me realize that I want to enjoy my sexuality. I love to perform for people, with people. I think that some of the biggest problems we have when it comes to sex is that we just don't talk about it.
"It's so taboo. I don't fancy myself a sex worker advocate, although I'm trying to learn as much as possible about the industry. I realize that I don't face nearly the same obstacles that a young trans person that's trying to make ends meet [does]," he added.
