'Real Housewives' Husband Sues 'Ex-Gay' Viral Vid Star
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
A former NFL player and a one time husband on the Bravo reality series "Real Housewives of Atlanta" is taking legal action after a viral video star said he had a relationship with the athlete, BET reports.
Kordell Stewart, who was married to "RHOA" star Porsha Williams before divorcing in 2013, filed papers against Andrew "I'm Not Gay No More" Caldwell, who went viral for saying he is no longer gay in front of members of his church, for telling a radio show earlier this month he and Stewart had relations.
Stewart says Caldwell's claims are false and he's not gay. The former football player is claiming emotional distress, loss of earnings, and impairment to his reputation.
"At all times during [Kordell's] life, Mr. Stewart has been, and is, a heterosexual male," the court documents read, according to BET.
TMZ reports Caldwell admitted to lying about the hookup and told the website he made the affair up. The viral video star said he isn't worried about Kordell's lawsuit, however.
"It's true, I never dated Kordell. But I'm not worried about the lawsuit," he told TMZ Sports. "If Kordell wants money, he has money. I don't owe him a dime."
Caldwell said he might file a counter lawsuit against Kordell, 42, claiming his name was damaged as well.
"I may go after Kordell," he said. "Yes, I hurt his name, but he also hurt mine."
Kordell denied Caldwell's allegations at the time, saying he's straight and he never met the "ex-gay" viral star. Nevertheless, BET reports gay rumors have swirled around Kordell for years.
