Kevin Clash Admits He’s Gay, Had (Legal) Relationship With Accuser

Kevin Clash says he is gay and has never tried to hide that, and indeed was involved a relationship with the younger man accusing him of inappropriate sexual behavior. The voice of Sesame Street’s beloved Elmo says the accuser was over 18, however, not underage as he has alleged. Clash took a leave of absence Monday. Kevin Clash , who’s performed as Elmo for 27 years, is 52. He admits he had “a relationship with the [now 23-year-old] accuser,” but not an illegal one. “It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to characterize it as something other than what it was,” he said in a statement. “I am taking a break from Sesame Workshop to deal with this false, defamatory allegation.” Clash also confirmed he is “a gay man” and has “never been ashamed or tried to hide it, but felt [ my relationship with the accuser ] was a personal and private matter.” Sesame Workshop backs up Clash on one count, saying that after a “thorough investigation” they “found the allegation of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated.” Still, the family-oriented organization found that Kevin Clash “exercised poor judgment and violated company policy regarding Internet usage and he was disciplined.” The Workshop added that Clash “insists that the allegation of underage conduct is false and defamatory and he is taking actions to protect his reputation.” As for why he was disciplined by his employer, an email Clash wrote to his accuser reads, “I’m sorry I keep talking about sex with you, its driving me insane.” The puppeteer adds, “I want you to know that I love you and I will never hurt you. I’m here to protect you and make sure your dreams come true.” “I’ll have my assistant book a ticket for you to come to NY and we can talk about this in person.” To clarify, the email was written well after the accuser turned 18 ; the allegation made by the accuser is that the two were intimate before he was 18 . Clash denies any wrongdoing , while admitting a consensual relationship .

Cee Lo Green Denies Sexual Assault Allegations

Cee Lo Green has been accused of sexual battery. Details on the case are sketchy – neither the identity of the victim, nor the story behind the allegation are known, although TMZ confirms police has spoken to employees at a downtown Los Angeles restaurant – but The Voice judge has already proclaimed his innocence. “Nothing ever happened there or anywhere else,” Green says , adding that he hasn’t been to the establishment in question in three months. No charges have actually been filed yet and another Cee Lo insider simply cannot fathom they will be, telling the site: “I have never seen Cee Lo act in a physical way toward anybody.” We will update this story as more news breaks.

Kim Kardashian Kover Klaim: No Fraud Here!

Kim Kardashian is reportedly sad over Kris Humphries’ recent annulment filing , which is based on the claim that he was deceived into a marriage based solely on publicity and profits. After all, a friend tells OK! Weekly, the allegation simply isn’t true. “She did not commit fraud,” an insider tells the tabloid. “She truly was in love with him and wanted to live happily ever after. Her heartbreak is genuine.” It also didn’t come out of nowhere, according to this anonymous, totally real source. “Things between her and Kris were horrible from the moment they walked down the aisle,” reports the pal, something all Kourtney & Kim Take New York viewers would support, based on that show’s season two episodes. Meanwhile, a relative of the family’s are fearful about how far Kris will take his beef and what the public spat will do to Kim’s psyche. “Kim isn’t superhuman,” the source said in the most obvious statement of all-time. “People seem to have this idea that because she’s on TV, she’s some sort of robot. She’s just been through this awful breakup and she’s hurting. Now what Kris is doing is making it hurt that much more. The truth is that she’s extremely emotional and very sensitive and she is having a very hard time dealing with all this.” Note to random mole: It’s not Kim’s television presence that makes us believe she’s a robot. It’s her lack of any kind of personality. Also, her fake body parts.
