Baller Alert received an anonymous email earlier this week claiming that NFL free agent Kerry Rhodes took part in a photo shoot tied to a planned project involving gay NFL players, and that he later backed out. We have not been able to verify the claim, and no photos are published with this post.
Rhodes has publicly denied being gay. In April, he told TMZ, “I am not gay,” and said photos that circulated online were taken during a past vacation with his business team. Russell “Hollywood” Simpson, Rhodes’ former assistant, publicly said in an exclusive interview with Baller Alert that he and Rhodes were in a relationship, and Baller Alert was the first outlet to report his account. Rhodes’ camp has disputed what Simpson said.
The claim in this latest email has not been confirmed by Rhodes or anyone representing him. Baller Alert will update this story if Rhodes or his camp responds.
