In a new video published on his personal YouTube channel, former wrestling prodigy and WWE superstar, Maven Huffman, tackled some frequently asked questions about his personal life and career journey.
The first query addressed was regarding his rumored homosexuality, having being a joint victor on the first season of Tough Enough. Maven shared his thoughts on why this assumption might exist among his fan base.
“Most people just assume and I don’t know why that I am. I guess, you know, like Jerry Seinfeld said, ‘I’m clean, I’m neat, and I take care of myself.’ I guess that makes me gay. I am not. I have 48 years of unblemished heterosexuality. But if you’re gay that’s fine be gay.”
The wrestling icon went ahead to express his position on the topic, asserting his lack of concern over such misinterpretations and his acceptance of people regardless of their sexual orientation. He posits,
“The fact that people judge me, does it bother me? Not really. If you think I’m gay, makes you happy, keep thinking it. I could care less.”
While Maven openly declares his heterosexuality, the wrestling world does boast of several gay personalities. Prominent figures include Pat Patterson, Darren Young, Sonya Deville, and Anthony Bowens.
Below is the entire clip featuring Maven Huffman responding to the internet’s most requested queries.
