NKOTBs Jonathan Knight was fine with being outed by Tiffany

Yesterday, we heard about ’80s mall girl Tiffany outing her ex-boyfriend, New Kids on the Block’s Jonathan Knight. They dated, back in the ‘80s, before Jonathan knew he was gay, I guess. Anyway, Tiffany’s drunk ass announced that Jonathan was gay while she was on live television, so there were no takesies-backsies. Anyway, when I wrote up the story, a lot of you bitches yelled at me, claiming that Jonathan was already out of the closet, so there was no “outing”. Some of you saved your anger for Tiffany, because she was a drunk bitch who outed an ex (as many of us do, let’s be honest). Well, Tiffany and Jonathan are here to soothe everyone. First of all, it looks like Jonathan was not already “out” – in the sense that he had stated it before God and NKOTB fans. Also, Jonathan isn’t mad at Tiff. He actually sounds like a nice guy:

Pop singer Tiffany had to defend herself on Twitter after she outed New Kids on the Block member Jonathan Knight during an appearance Thursday on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live.” When host Andy Cohen asked the singer if she had ever dated one of the NKOTB members, Tiffany admitted she had a romance with Knight.

“The quiet one. The shy one,” she said. “He became gay later. I didn’t do it! But he’s fabulous.”

Cohen then asked if Tiffany “turned him.”

“No. See, I had issues with that. I was thinking maybe I did but no,” she revealed. “Now looking back when we were dating, he was so much fun. We used to do facials together. He was so easy to talk to … And he was fabulous. He’s an awesome person.”

Tiffany, 39, promptly faced accusations that she revealed Knight’s true sexuality, which he himself had never confirmed or denied.

“Really didn’t know that was the wrong thing to say,” she tweeted Friday in response. “Never meant to hurt Jon.”

Knight, 42, seemed to be taking it in stride.

“I’m so devastated ………….” he tweeted Friday, “How can I not remember getting facials???????”

He even had a message for Tiffany herself.

“Tiff, please don’t lose any sleep over it!” he wrote to her. “I know you weren’t being mean and I found it to be funny!”

“Knock em dead tomorrow!” he continued. “Wishing nothing but the best for you always!”

Jonathan’s classiness has made me a fan – so much so that I need to admit something: back in the day, when I was a kid, Jonathan was my favorite. Those were the days before gaydar. But looking back, it certainly makes sense. I always love the gay ones. As far as Jonathan coming out and all – considering his classy reaction, I think he probably was out to his friends and family, but he’s just never given some big interview about his sexuality. Which is fine – whatever, you know?

Also: NKOTB Super Fans – be cool.
