In the 90’s there were rumors swirling about then Pittsburgh Steeler Kordell Stewart being caught in Schenley Park, an area park frequented by gay men, in a compromising position with a transvestite. The rumor says the star quarterback was caught by an officer who swept the incident under the rug. For much of his NFL career the gay rumors have plagued Stewart. To this day, it is something that he still adamantly denies.
Kordell Stewart has written a book titled “Truth: The Kordell Stewart Story,” and visited The Steve Harvey Show to discuss the book, and the gay rumors that have haunted him for decades.
“First of all, when in the world have I gone to jail in Pittsburgh, because there’s no record,” Kordell tells Steve Harvey. “I don’t care if it’s 10, 20, 30 years. If it happened, it would be documented, let alone being with a transvestite. Now, each his own, Steve. Trust me when I tell you, but the life I started and live with my family…the thing I understood about life, is when God created the heaven and earth, he created Adam and Eve. That’s all I know.”
Kordell also didn’t have the nicest things to say about his ex-wife Porsha Williams. He tells Steve Harvey, “What I’ve seen of my ex as of lately, conducting herself, just imagine if we was together for five more years with two children. That wouldn’t have been good.” As far as their break up, Kordell implies that it had a lot to do with Porsha’s maturity level. “I want a woman Steve. I don’t want a child that’s trying to play the role of a woman. Someone that’s strong and can stand her own ground.”
Kordell Stewart has been dealing with gay rumors for a very long time. His teammates have been interviewed about it, his ex-wife (Porsha) has made claims about it, it seems like he’s been defending himself for the majority of his career. Do you think it’s still necessary that he discuss it or should he let it go?
