On Saturday our inbox received — among the come-ons from Falcon Studios and 10percent.com — an email with the subject line “Neal Boulton is going to die.” Boulton, you’ll recall, is the recovering homosexual who used to edit Genre magazine, before fleeing the premises just moments before it was shut down. Now he toils away on something called BastardLife.com, a site for bisexuals, which Boulton sometimes is when he’s not pronouncing his return to heterosexuality while he bangs his wife. The email, from an anonymous Yahoo account, explained that Boulton “left the hospital for the SECOND time this week due to detoxing from alchohol and cocaine.” A-hem. Accusations of drug and alcohol abuse about a Queerty mascot? Normally this is the stuff we love. But then we remembered: Boulton is a shameless self-promoter and is known to send “anonymous” emails on his own behalf to drum up headlines, and after Michael Lucas, we’re not sure how much of this we can support. But, it looks like somebody bit:
Page Six. It reports: Boulton “entered a treatment program at Roosevelt Hospital Tuesday following a report from his doctors that he has cirrhosis of the liver.”
Not exactly the type of health news you would think somebody would plant about themselves. But the item comes with the requisite soundbite from Boulton — “Like Keith Richards says calmly about heroin, I say about coke and vodka: I’m done” — that makes us think Page Six got the same email we did.
So without further ado, let’s just print the thing, which, we should note, was sent to us from a “concerned ex.” (None of this, our attorneys remind you, should be considered even close to the truth. It is, like Carrie Prejean’s mere existence, for entertainment purposes only.)
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.
Today NB left the hospital for the SECOND time this week due to detoxing from alchohol and cocaine that I as his former girfrend warned him about many many times over our secret affair. He has TB, Pnemonia, and has been had seizures many time in front of me this week while I was stuid enough to visit his dumb ass. His nervous system is shot, he has to walk now with a cane and all he can do is blow off all of our and his wives and doctrs advixe and shuffe aournd Union street with he just returend today like Ozzy Osbourn or something He was rude to me as if nothin between us hapened because he thinks that women and men only exist for their pussies and asses. He’s he a heel but I love him and and am worried beceause at this rate he is going t die. He is waiting for a bed at Roosevelts Alcohol in patient clinit but I put y money down he’ll blow it off a for the Braracuda then Flight 151 he’ll drag some blod hag home to fuck her too. Worse of all he has cerosis of the liver now as a result of all of this , too. He needs a major beeting from you people because he’s all smiles and handshakes and charm but he’s a very sick man who WILL die if he doesn’t stop using drugs and drinking NOW. Thank you for listening to all of this but I was left with no choice to rat him out to a larger public will give him shit about this to and mabe try to help
Thanks for keeping in touch.

Neil who?

How can someone who edited a magazine with a readership of 127 afford cocaine?

@Licky: My thought exactly.
hardmannyc
Wait. I’m totally confused. Anyone outside of this guy’s immediate family cares about any of this because …?

I thought I was at Queerty. I must have gone to Jossip instead.

I know Neal and he’s a nice guy. Please don’t tear him down when he’s having such a difficult time of it.
He’s resilient and strong and he’ll pull through. I wish him all the best.
nearthepark
It’s just another hairbrained scheme. yawn.
hardmannyc
@shle896: I’m sure he is. But why does he insist on airing his dirty laundry in public?
Sug Night
Maybe if he dies you will stop talking about him incessantly on this blog. Who exactly cares about this guy and why doe he garner so much attention from Queerty?

I visited Neal Boulton who happens to have accomplished quite a bit more that most of the lazy fucks commenting on this site. If he’s sick for god’s sake trash him a little like you do everything and everyone with such bitterness, but for god’s sake don’t kick the guy while he’s down. Queerty is the mor abhorrent window into gay life. I feel badly for the men and women not in LA and New York who look at what you write and just continue to hate. But not to worry just like Genre, JOSSPI closed and so will Queerty.

Neal B? Hey guy if youre really in rehab could you look around in there for my gay, meth addicted carpenter? He stood me up the other day. He was coming over to rebuild the wood doors leading to the pool. He’s gone AWOL and I thought maybe he might be in there with you……cause he never showed up here….
Im gonna carbon copy this also to Lindsay Loahan and Perez H

Is it legal to publish that a blog publishes that a man is “Dying” when no doctor or fact checked article has been issued or confirmed. I’d sue if I were him.
a fay father
sad that queerty would publish that knowing he has children. He seems to be open to avoid the kinds of rumors your people generate
Roosevelt Doctors and Nurses for Neal
Neal, we have your back. You have always treated the staff here at Roosevelt very nicely and you’re working very hard on getting better. We have hope and confidence in you. And Mr.Boulton is far from dying queerty. Try to be a bit nicer to rumored or Queerty created hate male. Fact checking may be something you should look it. Detox and recovery an liver issues often take a great deal out of a person so try to be gentler here this time.
queertygirl
Neal is cool, nice, and has, though fired a few, helped a hell of a lot of people thanklessly, Leave his cute ass alone bitches. And David, you’re going down (and not in a good way)

@Roosevelt Doctors and Nurses for Neal: Spelling obviously wasn’t your first choice in Medical School.

What did Neil Boulton accomplish exactly? He “edited” a magazine so badly that it finally died, all the while making sure that his own name and PR was always concern number one. I don’t think anyone wishes him dead, that’s a preposterous emotion towards someone few of us actually knew, but his partying was a known quantity, so maybe in the end, he can serve as poster boy for moderation and actually do something good for the gay community.

@hardmannyc: Not me. I don’t even know who he is.

Eveeryone is so worked up about Neal Bolton right now. He did the brave thing and facebooked it and it got out there for the vultures like Queerty to pick at. I know him WELL and yes he partied to much. Like we queens don’t? But he’s open about his sexuality, founded an online place for those like him, and he is a damn good father who walks his kids to school everyday, picks them up and does their homework with them before cooking them dinner. His drinking and drug use were not that of some wild rock star—it slowly caught up with him like it will a lot of us if we are not careful. By telling the world, he stands a better chance of the fighting the peer pressure and social pressure to drink. As for Genre, honey please…the media insideers know David Under overextended and ruined whats Neal made far better.

I agree with you, mom! Integrity was not one of Queerty mission statements. As for @Mention neal edited a magazine, turned it around to the point that it was finally getting noticed again (it use to be awesome) then his pathetic owners decided to close it – and not even tell the staff. Having ignorant investors does not mean that the efforts the editorial team invested are bad. Neal was an inspiration but unfortunately worked for an equity guy who knew nothing about the media industry (or basic employee relations) rather than making deals and using them as sources for revenue and all the Avalon publications have suffered and will ultimately go away and leave a huge void in our community.
Sam
He’s hanging out at Flight 151? Whoa. Things really have gone downhill for him.
Shaniquababy
@Sug Night – what a great posting. What a complete jerk. This is someone’s life. You are truly pathetic.
Shaniqua Ubangi
Hmmm I thought Neal Boulton sicced his lawyers on you to have this removed and it’s still here. I guess you don’t care about slander/libel/whatever. It’s just denigrating a person.
