There are a number of ways for a celebrity to respond to gay rumors and it looks like The Situation has chosen to go with “angry denial.”
Mike Sorrentino’s Jersy Shore castmates Snooki and JWoww gave an interview to the Huffington Post recently, in which Snooki proclaimed she’s bisexual and they both indicated The Sitch might be gay after all.
After calling Mike’s posture and the way he holds his cigarettes effeminate, JWoww said of his sexuality: “I can’t confirm or deny with Mike, but if he was [gay], it would all make sense.”
Today, a source has told Chicago Sun-Times gossip columnist Bill Zwecker that the Situation is “extremely upset” with the Snooks and JWoww.
“Mike really ripped both Snooki and JWoww a new one,” the source said. Interesting way to phrase it. The Situation’s apparently worried that these rumors “could hurt his brand marketing efforts, which are very much focused on straight male customers.”
Note to The Situation: Your brand appeals to body-obsessed gay men way more than straight dudes.

I can’t believe this trainwreck reality show draws 9 million viewers a week.

@christopher di spirito:
I know right. We should tell them that there is a really good reality show in the sun. That way they could stare at the sun all day.

I like to combat “false” accusations about my sexuality by tearing women a new one. Nothing says “I’m not gay!” like getting in a cat fight with women.
A lot easier than actually dating one when I could be spending more time staring at myself and other guys in the mirror.

Snooki and JWoww are not gay-friendly. I read their interview on HuffPost and it’s a classic case of “straight girls saying they’ve experimented with women for the benefit of the sleazy straight guy fantasy”. Don’t fall for it.
I’m really disappointed in HuffPost for putting this fake gay advocacy under their Gay Voices section. It’s an insult.
Don’t try complaining about it because HuffPost is known to censor comments on its message board.

He is so gay. He is the very definition of gay in America. Obsessed with working out and tanning along with sleeping with as many women as possible to “prove” their not gay. He will sleep with anything! I think he will be the first on the show to test positive for HIV followed by Snooki then Vinny and Pauly.

Me think the man doth protest too much and too loudly. Way to volitile of a response to be a “groundless” comment, unless he is just proving his homophobic ignorance.
