Former boxer admits he's bi, was not drugged for gay porn

Last week we told you about Yusaf Mack, a former pro-boxer who was recently outed for appearing in a gay porn threesome.

He claimed he had been drugged by someone at the shoot and had no recollection of actually sucking cock or fucking ass. DawgPound, the production company behind the video, threatened to sue Mack over the claim he had been drugged.

Well, Mack has taken some time to work through his personal demons and is ready to tell the truth. Yes, he knowingly appeared in the video. No, he was not drugged. And, by the way, he is indeed bisexual.

From the statement he released yesterdayt:

This is an issued public apology from my heart. I want to address a few situations with the first being the false claims I made about being drugged during the [DawgPound] adult film. I have never spoke[n] negatively about the company that produced the film although the claim to have been given a drug by someone [on] set was a lie. I was completely aware and fully conscious during the film.

 

The second situation, which further explain[s] the first, concerns my lifestyle. I did participate in the adult film because at the time I needed money but also because I am a bisexual man. Meaning I enjoy safely being intimate with whomever I choose.

Lastly, I would like to address the reason I lied. My life was completely destroyed once it had been outed that I participated in a gay film. I selfishly tried to cover the truth and remain in denial, rather than accept the fact that I was leading a double life secretly.

 

There are other men and women that are set up in the similar situations and I just hope I can be [an] inspiration to ... just be you. The extreme taboo and harsh criticism of living a same sex lifestyle, especially as an African American male, makes it hard to be completely honest and comfortable within yourself. But I had to remember that I am a champ & I can fight and will fight through this. I am more than my sexual orientation. To all of my supporters I thank you dearly.
