British actress Lorna Fitzgerald of the popular show EastEnders is reportedly in shambles after learning her boyfriend, Keo Reid, starred a series of gay fetish videos.
The 18-year-old actress is reported to be “absolutely distraught” after videos of 25-year-old Reid getting spanked, whipped, whacked, and receiving blowies from older chaps were discovered on an S&M website, according to Pink News.
“It’s any girlfriend’s worst nightmare,” a source told the prestigious Sun newspaper. “After seeing the videos, she feels she can never go back.”
A friend of Reid told The Mirror: “Keo just did these films as a bit of fun for good money… He could have had a job as a plumber or he could have a job getting his ass spanked. It’s as simple as that.”
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.
The friend added, “Although it features men, it’s not a gay thing.”
Hmmm. We know straight men are a lot more bisexual than people think, but we’re pretty sure performing in an adult video alongside another guy would be considered by most everyone as “a gay thing.”
But Reid’s friend insists otherwise. “Keo is completely straight,” he said.
Reid was reportedly paid £350 ($550) for each fetish film, and is believed to have starred in as many as 20 videos. The oldest one was uploaded in December 2012. His most recent video was uploaded on October 16, after he and Fitzgerald had been dating for six months.
According to sources, Reid sincerely hopes his “completely straight” gay past doesn’t affect his relationship with Fitzgerald.
“He has been on such a journey in his life and has really turned things round,” a source said. “He’s really happy with Lorna. Keo has really fallen for her and he’s upset and so sorry to have embarrassed her like this.”
So far, both Fitzgerald and Reid are refusing to comment on the matter.

WORST Nightmare? Really? Not learning that he is married, violent, a thief stealing money from her?
redcarpet30
Looks like he was doing the films WHILE he was dating her, so that’s pretty shady.
But at first I thought maybe he did it in the past and she just found out. Straight people can be soooo uptight about stuff that really doesn’t have to have any bearing on your relationship if you don’t let it. I hate how The Mirror calls it “A worst nightmare!”. I am of firm belief had it been something he did BEFORE they started dating, it would have been fair game. Anything from before a relationship is none of my damn business.
demented
Maybe he should have told her about this BEFORE letting it spill out.

“Worst nightmare”… poor precious little snowflake. I wonder if her future boyfriends are allowed to be offended by any on-screen sex scenes she has to film?
I'm Black, and HIV-Positive.
And I’d make 20 films of the inverse “completely gay”/straight equivalency of that for roughly $10,000.00 too. No wonder he didn’t think much of it. But then gays are never afforded that much inverse equivalency of opportunities, so I want some form of compensation for contributing to what it is that straight people find so damn appealing about the “forbidden fruit” of homosexuality. (Or atleast I think I’d let a woman spank me on camera for money.)
@Cam: Agreed Cam! She’s warped! I’d call her a dumb, closed-minded eighteen year old girl with as yet no life experience, but that would be redundant.
Trippy
Plus… I’m disappointed that Queerty didn’t provide some safe links to his work. How can we have an informed discussion without first seeing what’s so horrible about his performance?

Put yourself in her shoes for a moment.
You’re dating someone. You really, really like them. Then you find out that they have been doing something behind your back; something sexual and it feels like a betrayal. Something that is just so beyond what your relationship with them is that it just seems foreign. He did this WHILE you were in a relationship; and he hid it from you. Worse; his doing this is now a scandal that can and will be used as ammunition against your own career trajectory.
Yeah… I think “worst nightmare” is pretty apt. Her boyfriend hid that he was performing in fetish films with other men; while he was with her. It’s a betrayal of any commitment they had that he wasn’t open and honest about his career choices. It’s not a “oh straight people are such prudes” issue.
Cam
@Kieru:
I’m not saying there isn’t an issue. I’m saying that finding out the guy is married, stealing from you, or a violent criminal is more of a “Worst” situation.
What she is experiencing is more along the lines of a guy finding out that his girlfriend used to be a stripper and had made some hardcore R rated films.
If it was a straight guy and a woman, I don’t think they would be calling it a “Worst Nightmare”.
vive
@Kieru, it is not clear from the article whether he performed in one of the videos after they started dating (all they say is when the last one was released, not when it was made). Also, even if he did, it doesn’t sound as if he even did anything sexual in them.
redboy70
I think “worst nightmare” means that it is within the reasonable realm of possibility. Of all the worries we have about relationships, the possibility of discovering that your other half is being spanked by men on film for money is probably not keeping anyone awake at night.

@I’m Black, and HIV-Positive.: Seriously. For that kind of money I’d do straight porn, no questions asked.

$550 for one film? Sign my ass up. I did one when I was seventeen. Mans Hand Films, at the Folsom Street Fair. I don’t remember how much they paid but I’m sure it wasn’t over $125
Anyway, she’s 18, I’m sure she’ll get over it. You should tell people that you are dating, that you have been in porn or fetish videos. It’s just rude not to.
MarionPaige
where does an 18 year old girl (working on a popular tv show) meet a 25 year old adult performer? She works in an “industry” full of gay people and no one of the people she works with or associates with knew anything about her “boyfriend”?
Seems like there was something odd about her associations that she could meet and be sexually active (one assumes) with the guy and they have no “friends” in common.
Maybe she’s a typical fat cow english chick who was grateful to get big dick from a reasonable attractive guy with relatively good teeth.
I'm Black, and HIV-Positive.
@Kieru: You know what Kieru, then she can try helping out her boyfriend with the rent money every now and then since he’s only needing money while his girlfriend is a big British television star and all! Am I right, or wrong here?
I mean, maybe her boyfriend wasn’t a paid escort (as in she was paying him to be with her), but how exactly does it work that your boyfriend goes destitute for cash while you’re performing on television? I mean really? And let’s just be frank with each other: She basically confirmed for him (for her boyfriend) that he had a nice dick, but thought she could it all to herself underwraps… for peanuts. Ha ha ha! Do the math. He had 7 years on her. Sorry, it don’t work that way.
Seriously: “Any girlfriends worst nightmare” coming from an eighteen year old girl may not seem like an overreaction to you, but to alot of us it screamed that she’s got alot to learn anyway, and she ain’t seen nothing yet. She don’t even know how bad these boys can (and will) be yet on her watch. And this all happened while she was dating him you speculated? Then she should feel all the way doubly ashamed of herself.

@I’m Black, and HIV-Positive.: but thought she could keep it all to herself. Keep is the missing word there.

@Kieru: What if he were filmed enjoying a burrito and pretending it was really good even though he didn’t like burritos. He wasn’t even having actual sex. I dunno. to me sex acts are no better or worse than fulfilling any other appetite (hunger, thirst). There is this enduring stigma attached to sex that needs to be tackled head-on. If gays are not on the boat with sexual liberation. it’s a problem!!

I know tons of straight-identifying men who receive blow-jobs from other men. Tons and tons. When the horny bell rings, even the straightest of men will turn to other men if need be.
As for this actress’s response, I can understand it to a point. However, so long as he stays faithful to her, she has nothing worry about.

She will get over it and he has got his 15 minutes of fame
PornForPatric
Actually, they have since broken up. According to the newspapers, she dumped him several days ago.
He also worked for more than just that spanking site. He’s done videos for at least four other sites, including one in which he receives a blowjob, but doesn’t reciprocate.
Honestly, he’s an attractive guy and could easily have a good career in gay or straight porn. He’s certainly got the body & dick for it. His videos have been out there for a long time, it was only a matter or time until someone put two and two together once they saw them together.

@redcarpet30: Clearly you are not Fitzgerald! She is doesn’t find a “straight” guy having a guy dick in his mouth and freely giving up his ass a turn on on video for the world to see. Makes perfect sense to this gay man who would be turned off if my boyfriend had his mouth/tongue on a vagina pumped with cum by many strange dicks!

Women tend to fear men who swing both ways. Men tend to embrace women who swing both ways.
It’s a double standard which I refer to as the “bisexual double standard”. Women exploit this double standard and see it as a way of obtaining privileges over all men, including us.

@vive: “Sexual” is subjective. She was dating him, not you!

@blackberry finn: Accepting your partner on video participating in S&M porn has nothing to do with “sexual liberation.” It’s about your values and what your DON’T find sexually attractive about your partner! Liberation is about people not being forced to think like you.

“Worst situation” is different for each of us including you. If it’s on video, it’s not a secret and is a “worst situation” because she can SEE/know about something that goes against her sexual sensibilities and what matters to her, not you!
pscheck2
Well, I assume she thought she was dating a guy who she thought to be str8, only to find out he had no computations about having sex with men, even though he got paid for it. It bugs me no end that these guys are given a ‘pass’ as being str8 because what they did with men was done for ‘pay!’ (Gay for pay-BS!) Maybe I live in an isolated world where a str8 guy would never touch another guy, much less have sex with him! The str8s I know would vomit at the thought of having sex with a man. They are turned on by p*ssy and all that goes with it!
Gothrykke
I can hear her piggy squeals now: Oi, yer a pohn-starrrr? Fuk auff! Poof! Poof! Help, police, there’s a poofster in ‘ere!
It would certainly be a little upsetting finding out that he was in sexual situations if they were together, but if it was before, then she’s out of her mind if she thinks it’s even remotely disturbing. It was a job. If they weren’t together, then him being sexually active with someone else is none of her concern.
It’s probably the same problem these little girls have with anyone who’s had sex before they got together, especially gay sex. Forget dating someone with porn in their past, might as well kill themselves because they’ll never be ‘right’ again.
Come to me, baby, this bitch will treat you right.

This is why I don’t like and don’t believe in the concept gay for pay. It affects people of all genders and types. If these so called “straight” people can think they can get away from that oxymoron of gay for pay, that they can get away from the questions of their sexuality (because no matter how it is defended, it always sounds stupid because the reasons always try so hard) or the questions of their morality as a whole, then let every headline about this be the proof it is not the case.
Oh well. Everything this stupid has a big price.

Women do gay-for-pay (ie lesbian) all the time in “straight” porn movies. Why don’t you criticize them? Why is it that some of you criticize gay-for-pay only when it’s men who do it and not women?

@jason smeds: “Why is it that some of you criticize gay-for-pay only when it’s men who do it and not women?”
If you don’t get the difference simply by reading comments on this blog with variations on this topic, then do some research on your own starting with the history of sex in the U.S. and around the world today, especially in Middle Eastern countries!

But yeah, it’s pretty much the dude’s fault if he thought he could keep that a secret. Doesn’t matter if he’s dating a girl or guy now, I think they have a right to know.
Captain Obvious
@Sebizzar: Yeah she should totally risk her career and personal relationships by staying with a guy who didn’t tell her he did gay porn.
If you’ve actually seen any of it before judging her you’d know he’s a bottom and very much enjoying it. Any woman who’d stay in a relationship with a guy who willingly gets spanked by other men(or women) for money and has done anal deserves what she gets.
I applaud this woman for having some sense. Usually they try to make it work or convince themselves it’s some sort of phase. Dude is gay.

@Captain Obvious: AMEN! It po’s me no end to read that so-called str8 guys do porn for pay.BS!!! They try to validate their (ahem!) str8ness because they get paid for it (and gay porn pays more than str8 porn (ha,ha). What str8 guy would suck c*ck and bottom,even for pay? Not the str8 ones I know–in fact, they don’t want to deal with a gay guy or one who is effeminate, socially. Let’s face it, they like T&A and pussy! I could go on, but you see what I am trying to get at?
Sebizzar
@Captain Obvious: How would that risk her career? Like I said, if she was one of those women who was cool with it, she wouldn’t be freaking out this much.

Money is money, if she were more open she could enhance their sex by whipping and giving him more head and going after what he likes. Best of both worlds and she could learn to really enjoy his body and have fun. Money is money as long as he was doing protected sex.
Rob Moore
I don’t really get S&M, but goodness, some people do not get things I like. In any case, she needs to get over it. He was gay for pay. If he is still shagging her the way she likes and has not been shagging other men or women, so what. There are far worse things he could have done for money. This is not illegal or immoral.
pscheck2
It seems these guys who yell: I’m str8! use the excuse they do ‘it’ for the money! The porn industry isn’t 100% gay, so if he was in need of some quick cash, he could have made himself available to some str8 porn site, thus saving him from any speculation as to his true sexual orientation! Oh, wait! Doesn’t the gay porn sites pay more for performing? Point taken- however, they know that their ‘performance’ will be out there, forever, with one and all to see. It begs the question: what str8 guy would want to see himself having sex with another dude? (In more than one case I am aware of, the str8 dude was a ‘bottom’ and appeared in more than 10 videos, ‘bottoming’ and sucking! It is my understanding, they can pick their ‘position’ being ‘bottom’ ‘top ‘versatile’ ‘passive’ or aggressive’ etc. I don’t believe in the BS that a guy can be str8 even though he enjoys having it up the a** or is comfortable sleeping with a dude–hugging and kissing (no sex). Then we have to accept the fact that there is no such thing as homosexuality, since a good many of us have had relations with women: fuc*ing, married, making babies—gee! I am now str8!

There is a huge market for videos featuring straight boys being spanked and there is no sex involved. There is no doubt that some of the boys are gay but there is no reason to believe that Keo is. I don’t think Keo would do it unless he likes being spanked but the fetish isn’t limited to gay people. I’m surprised that Lorna never noticed her boyfriends ass was red, with welts and bruises. She should take him back after whipping his ass for the public embarrassment he caused her and if she wants to sell the video I will buy it.

So he performed in gay-related fetish vids? Ooooooh!!! I wanna see ’em! From the supplied pic he does look like a hot beefy boy with probably a hot little bubblebutt perfect for spanking! And you can always tell when someone is not into the scene when they use the term “S&M” since those in the scene never do — it’s “SM” or “BDSM”. And he did have sex…article talks about him receiving “blowies”. Hmmmm…so, yeah, maybe he should have told her. But she’s overreacting…far from the “worst nightmare” scenario. If he turned out to be a domestic abuser and beat her, THAT’D be a nightmare. As for the whole gay for pay thing…meh! Way too many peformers claim this and it’s bogus. Not that I care, really. Kinda get off on it, actually, but then porn is all about fantasy, isn’t it? So spanking a hot str8 boy jock qualifies as ‘fantasy’.
musclemutt
@I’m Black, and HIV-Positive.: Having a man spank another man’s ass is on the same level as having one wrestler bearhug another in a fake TV match, because that’s another situation where neither the gender nor orientation matters. In fact you could get a job spanking or being spanked and being gay or straight wouldn’t come into it.
So, chill, mister, because you’ll feel mighty silly for starting your crusade the minute someone reminds you that S&M aren’t about sex but about giving or receiving pain or dominance that usually isn’t, strictly speaking, about enjoying pain as much as about enjoying a fantasy that involves something necessary to the person’s well-being.
Gender and orientation don’t matter, or at least not until later after the experience allows a person to quell their demons enough to let their horny out. Then you might get it on if a person appropriate for sex is present and willing. Otherwise, you go out and pick somebody up or , else, maybe you find the afterglow of the session is enough and sex is too much trouble.
