Nick Fuentes Gay Rumor Mill: Online Buzz About His Sexuality Persists
An alleged hacked livestream and resurfaced on-air moments fuel ruumors, while Fuentes dismisses the claims as baseless
In recent months, anti-semitic political commentator Nick Fuentes has been at the center of renewed online speculation about his sexuality, following Tucker Carlson's comment about him being "A gay kid who lives in a basement".
This is not the first time controversy has been surrounding Fuentes.
Previous reports in The Jerusalem Post have mentioned him briefly streaming content from an erotic men only site. Fuentes blamed a group labeled "pro-Israel hackers" and maintained that he never intended to broadcast such material and suggested the incident was malicious interference.
In parallel, a widely discussed video clip has seen resurgence on social media. In the clip, Fuentes appears alongside streamer Destiny, and some viewers interpreted their on-stream comments as implying mutual same-sex attraction.
Meanwhile if that was not enough in an appearance on Candace Owens show Fuentes was asked about being in a relationship, or thinking of getting married, and he hit back with accusative language.
Fuentes himself, however, has strongly dismissed the rumors in public comments. He remains steadfast in directing the conversation toward political issues and does not publicly address personal questions.
