Boy George made the surprising announcement that he’s frolicked between the sheets with Prince during a live taping of The Voice in the U.K.
George joined the show as a coach this season alongside Paloma Faith, will.i.am and Ricky Wilson, replacing Tom Jones.
During the blind auditions, the judges were trying to woo a contestant by one-upping each other’s past musical collaborations.
George boasted, “I have duetted with some of the greatest soul singers in history including Luther Vandross and Smokey Robinson,” prompting Paloma Faith to come back with, “Well OK, if we’re throwing big soul names out there I’ve performed with Prince.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Forget that, darling,” George quickly retorted. “I’ve slept with Prince.”
will.i.am high-fived George as the audience laughed in shock at the revelation, but the show’s producers weren’t quite as amused.
They halted taping to have a private conversation with George, and when the show resumed, he announced that he actually hadn’t slept with Prince after all, and had merely had a Prince poster on his wall.
In George’s defense, it’s so easy to confuse sleeping with someone and having a poster of someone. Happens to us all the time.
We’re not buying the retraction.
Prince has previously shared this sage Jehovah’s Witness wisdom on the subject homosexuality:
“God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’”
If that’s not internalized homophobia, we’re not sure what is.

This surprises no one.
It was more shocking when Kim Bassinger slept with him.
Russell Murphy
not that shocking
Alexander Chang-Reavis
He’s also a massive drug addict. He probably passed out in a booth Prince once sat in.
Kenneth Julian
Fame whore. Leave Prince alone.
DarkZephyr
@BJ McFrisky: Have to agree with you there.

Poor Prince, whenever I see him all I can think of is the disappointment he must have felt when he found out the name ‘Queen’ was already taken. I think Boy George put it best when he said Prince looks like a midget dipped in pubic hair.
Xzamilio
Yeah… and how did that work for sky daddy, drowning everything? Still gay… people still sticking it wherever and in whatever… I guess the creations are more persistent than the creator???
Robert C Settle Jr
Who cares…
Sidney Davies
No way! D:
Ben Courtz
Frank Vera
Rick Collier
Producers probably should have thought of something like this before they put Boy George on the show…lol

Did anyone here even read the piece? Boy George retracted.
Daniela Strobl
Wait… Prince says that he isn’t gay? o.O Come on, Prince…

Now I know why this queen hated doing interviews when he was younger. He has no sense nor much intellect. But he does know how to count money.
It sounds like ol’ George is back on the “stuff”. Personally, I bet if he had a dog named Prince by now it would have bit him.
John Kuehnle
Who’s to say that either is telling the truth, unless maybe Boy George know what Prince’s penis looks like (birthmarks etc…)
Joseph Franco
Sure. I slept with Zac Efron. Who the hell cares.

Why does he have a need to tell this?
Will Glitzern
Best news all year!
Jimmy McKinney
Not surprised! Two miss thangs bumping pussy
MarionPaige
isn’t Boy George the UK equivalent of a convicted felon? Meaning that,
In the US,
The testimony of a convicted felon is by default legally suspect.
Kieran
Shocked? Why would anyone be shocked?
Marc A. Olechnowicz
Who cares

Again….did anybody here even read the article or do you just frantically start typing away your own commentary….?
Bob LaBlah
@SeeingAll: I see your point but the fact is, he did say it. Yes, he did retract it (after the show was stopped and he was taken back stage for the producers to see had he once again lost his damn mind) but the fact that he DID say it makes him and his comment fair game.
Jim Philbrick
Prince is the biggest Mo I’ve ever seen
Robert Gough
Prince wouldn’t touch him lol – he’s a twice married man
J.r. Graff
Oh please. Who isn’t sleeping with who in Hollywierd?
Ricardo Costa
Who cares! Lol
David Barney Wilson
I slept with half of Hollywood. Just saying
Duke Marine
Well that’s some Kai Kai lol

Who did who?

The thought of those two getting it on really doesn’t give me a boner!
Philip Shimkus
Which one was the bottom?
Ives Meagher
Two bottoms don’t make right? (Also Bill Cosby and Boy George, I bet.)
Miriam Macdonald
Can not imagine what would be shocking
Bobby Buechler
So? I slept with Prince too. Everyone’s slept with Prince.
Jackson Mallick
Boy George would not lie.
Russell Mccullough
Two creeps get it on.
Joel Quinones
No one should be shocked. That’s why Prince has been in an anti gay rant for years. Closeted phobe.
Alan David Smith
is that reallt something to brag about?
Sameer Nurani
The question is, did someone else join them since they both are bottoms!!
Sluggo2007
I’ve always thought “Prince” was misnamed. “Queen” suits him better.
SeeingAll
Prince might be a jerk, but he sure WAS talented.
alphacentauri
Nobody should be surprised by this, I remember when Prince first became a musician he was basically out as bisexual then.
Captain Obvious
Honestly after hearing Prince talk when he’s not putting on a show he seems like your average paranoid, homophobic, Jehova’s Witness to me.
Not sure why people think he’s gay… unless you’re just riding stereotypes. He doesn’t ping at all. Not even a little.
I’m sure you guys think all the 80s hairband guys were gay too then aside from the fact that they probably impregnated more women than a basketball team.
Honestly if Prince was gay I think he would’ve owned it, he really wouldn’t have had any reason to hide it considering straight people just assumed he was gay anyway.

@Stefano Gant: attention
1EqualityUSA
The title of the article was misleading. That’s unfair to the latent Jehova’s Witness guy. Many articles go unopened, so the title alone is left unexplained.

I can’t imagine hoping between the sheets with either one of them…Ugh. Makes me queasy of the thought of it.

Boy George, even in his 80s heyday, was not considered a hottie, and was a well-known heroin and coke addict. He spent the majority of his big years high as a kite and out of it. He came on to a lot of guys who turned him down, including a then-closeted George Michael, who just wasn’t into him. Boy, in typical jilted queen fashion, then proceeded to try to trash and out George Michael in interviews.
Prince, OTOH, never used drugs. And in his heyday, he could’ve had anyone he wanted, female or male. And he looks fantastic for his age, almost had not aged. Boy George looks like the war-torn heroin/coke/meth head that he was for 20+ years. So, in simple terms, even if he WERE into sleeping with men, he could then (and now) do a whole lot better than a drug-addled, unattractive Boy George.
This is another attempt by Boy George to garner shock-like attention and make headlines.

@solacesoul: Prince came on to Eddie Murphy and Rick James (or so they both say) during the 1980’s. Eddie Murphy consulted Prince when he was trying to become a recording artist. At the meeting (according to Murphy) Prince was making obvious “come on’s” and he (Murphy) ended the meeting. Murphy then consulted Rick James and they collaborated on Murphy’s song “Party all the Time” which sounded just like Rick James’ music but Murphy singing it while driving a car or in the shower. Singing was NOT Murphy’s strong point and it showed. I honestly got embarrassed for him and I was watching it on television. He (Murphy) knew not to schedule any concerts. If he did, it sure as hell weren’t that many of them. or he had the good sense to go with Rick James’ concert tour and appear there, since the song sounded just like ol’ Rick anyway.
The situation between him and Rick James got so bad Prince was suppose to make a joint appearance with Rick James at a concert when all out hell broke loose and James went after Prince to “put his foot in the little f(word)’s ass but he ran”. I do remember reading about that incident in the paper that reported about Prince doing all he could to interrupt James’ performance, even hopping up on the back of his (Prince’s) very burly body guard while in the audience just to get the crowds attention. It worked for a minute but the guard did him the favor and took him out of the place once James began to berate him from the stage in a rather “street fashion way” in regards to the colorful metaphors he used to describe Princes posterior and what he (Prince) was using his anus for (you go figure from there as to what he was saying).
To make a long story short, Prince is a now old closet case with pockets FILLED with nothing but money. No a bad way to end up in middle age if you asked me (and yes, I know no one did). I mean seriously, could you really see having sex with his little bony ass? I couldn’t. His music, HELL YES, ALWAYS ON POINT. But for me, that’s where it ends.

@Bob LaBlah: Prince never came on to Rick James, and Rick James never made that claim. Rick James HATED and ENVIED Prince. I would challenge you to cite that claim.
This is what did happen: The two had a huge, notorious musical rivalry for popularity as well as women in the early 80s, which ended in Prince stealing Rick James’ date Denise Matthews to the AMAs and turning her into Vanity for his girl group Vanity 6 — besting Rick’s Mary Jane Girls. Later, after Prince’s superstar ascension and Rick’s descent into crime and drugs — Rick later admitted that he was very jealous of Prince’s talent and success, because to be able to be respected in many genres was what he always wanted as a musician.

@Bob LaBlah: Also, I know quite a number of very attractive women (as well as men) who think that Prince is as fine as f*ck. You really should get outside your limited circle a little more.
Bob LaBlah
@solacesoul: “You really should get outside your limited circle a little more.”
The same to you honey and touché on the challenge. I stand by my claim as to both. Its hard to believe you are that blind as to that obvious queen, but then that is to be expected.
Sluggo2007
I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if it actually happened. However, I think that Boy George was trying to be witty and clever when he said it on live TV. It was a droll retort, whether true or not.
