Bodybuilding champion Jerome Michael Nayanah wants the world to know: He’s not into that gay shit!
The popular Durban, South Africa fitness pro received criticism last week after launching into an antigay tirade on Facebook, calling gay people “sexually sick perverts” and blaming them for the spread of HIV.

In the post, Nayanah, who likes to post racy pictures of himself on Instagram, said he was responding to someone who allegedly published pictures and contact info for him on a gay website without his consent. As a result, he claims he received “hundreds of calls” from gay men who wanted to “hook up,” some of whom went so far as to send him erotic pictures.
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.
“Again, someone has put my details and pics on a sex website and my phone has been ringing, non stop,” Nayanah seethed. “They are mostly homosexuals.”
He went on to say that gay men spread HIV, are “not normal,” “promiscuous,” “disgusting,” and are “sexually sick perverts.” Oh, and they “need Jesus.”

After the post went viral, the fitness champ tried claiming his profile had been hacked, but this doesn’t quite jive with what the owner of Ultimate Fitness Durban, where Nayanah works, said Monday.
In a statement, the company claimed “Jerome has been targeted for months by a few bad apples in the gay community and the built up frustration led to an outburst on social networking. Some of the statements made were harsh but [were] due to 1st [sic] hand experience of the persistence of certain gay men on well sculpted straight men.”
The statement continued: “As for people being labelled homophobic, I don’t see how straight men who are frustrated by gay men persistantly [sic] pursuing them are quickly labelled homophobic.”
Nayanah’s Facebook profile has since been deleted.

gosh maybe you should not go around flashing your stuff in public?

Yikes at all of this. Jerome, the company, and the sick f*cks who were harassing him are all horrible.

First, Ive never seen pictures of him before and second, he’s DEFNITELY a HOT man…in his OWN mind. Not someone I’d look at twice, let alone drool over. If he was half the man he thinks he is, he’d been in trouble. But as it stands, “Don’t sweat it, bro! Ya ain’t got nuthin to worry about…”
Eric Burfict Jr.
Didn’t nobody tell you to choose a career in wearing a thong! ð???ð???ð??
Andrew Button
He’s proud of his body but he’s a complete idiot based on this homophobic crap plus his Instagram has near nude pics which would be wanked over by men and women
Tony Prater
then he should stop posting them is my thought
Jamie Robillard
Honestly, he’s just OK…from the neck down.
DDstar1me
I can respect that he’s upset about this. No excuse for the intrusion on his privacy.
However, I hope he doesn’t issue some meaningless apology after making such general statements about gay people. After realizing how offensive he came across. We are tired of the fake apologies. I’d respect him more if he just stuck with his convictions.
Wilson Ramos
i understand that some people men and women can take it to that OVER THE TOP LEVEL but his DUMB ASS should be happy people are appreciating his hard work. worse would be if people dont like him after all the work he puts into keeping in shape. DUMB ASSSSSSS and he is not even all that… Borrell Jr is HOT HOT
Ronnyboy
@Arcamenel: “Allegedly” harassing him. The guys clearly trrying to erase what he said. Just a bit too convenient for this shadow stalking story. Even if it was true which I doubt it’s sick that this shithead and company thinks that’s an alright response.
Btw. the # 1 population responsible for spreading HIV are straight black people ie Africa. Maybe the bigot needs a mirror or maybe just a brain.
Jonathan Santos
Why can’t he just politely say “no thank you.” And keep it moving?
Ken Nam
If u have it, flaunt it!
Ronnyboy
Oh and lastly. He’s the very definition of a butterface.
Brian JC Kneeland
He needs to stop having photos taken then!

Cool. BTW not my Man type.

That places. Myself into a Gay Fitness Respectful. Matter.
William DeMoss
OMG this guy. So nuts. Again not good looking, looks like he done steroids. Which when u do steroids makes the manhood smaller. So u got nothing to worry about.
SportGuy
Is anyone actually ogling this fugly guy! He is not attractive at all, all he has is a steroid body, the face is a mess.
Erick Skyler
A gay himself.
Jerry Green
He’s safe. He’s NOT that hot! Sounds like someone has an ego to match Donald Trump’s. Ewwww!

People think that butterface is hot? Eeww. People got low standards.

@SportGuy: I know right?

Well, he is right about gay-identifying men being promiscuous. It’s because of the fact of being male. All males are hard-wired to be promiscuous. In the male-male scene, this promiscuity tends to run amok because of the lack of female influence. In the male-female scene, the promiscuity is somewhat reduced by the female.
And I also have to agree with Jerome’s sense of irritation. There’s nothing worse than a predatory male regardless of his sexuality. Jerome is the victim of predatory males.

Mark Coassolo
If you prance around expect everyone is going to think of you as over sexed person and it is YOU that is the pervert. Too bad, pal, if all you are is a male stripper, enjoy and own it or cover it up. If you have a problem with some people think you are only what you put out. Enjoy it while you are young enough. Trust me, your tired ass will become boring because there will be a better and younger one coming out of the woods that will have some humility and be thankful that anyone cared.
Brian
Having said that, I would rub his body with oil and beg for sweet mercy were he to start spanking me.

No comment on his looks, everyone has differing opinions and likes. I will also go so far as to say, gay men sending nudes or requesting hookups? not unheard of. My issue is a little, Hey your hot, or wanna hook up is a WORLD different than as the owner of were he works put it ” persistantly [sic] pursuing ” and THAT lack of distinction landas you squarely with the title of homophobe, idiot!
David Smith
oh please he is not all that . give me a hairy stud of a man and go from there . this guy has not a damn thing i want . yes he is good looking

Glenn Cheatham
Ugh, not me me looking at him!!!!
Noel Hoklin
Get over yourself you over-medicated POS! You are disgusting to me as a gay man!!!!
Arcamenel
I definitely believe he got the messages and I’ve seen gay people post porn stars personal social media accounts and contact information. I agree about his butterface…yikes.
Brian
Face it – gay identifying men are predatory. Men are predatory in general, don’t forget.
There really is no difference amongst all men – we’re all predatory by nature. Being gay-identifying doesn’t make you less predatory.
Hugo Ferreira
true mrk but donr forget hun ge is just a number
Roy Lewis
I for one thinks he is good looking and if he is taking it off, then I am going to look! What does he say about the HIV rate in Africa? How did that get so high?
Keith Perdue
Hey asshole, quit posting them…you homophobe from hell….whudda POS…
DarkZephyr
@Brian: would you can it with your misandry and homophobia already?
Gene Upshaw
Then do not post them.
Jim McHardy
Get over himself he should be so lucky
DarkZephyr
I am just curious how he can be so certain that it was a gay man who shared his details. His details were shared on a gay website? How did a gay man get them in the first place? This to me sounds like a prank a douche baggy friend might pull or an angry ex.
“Some of the statements made were harsh but [were] due to 1st [sic] hand experience of the persistence of certain gay men on well sculpted straight men.”
WELL sculpted? Ah, no. That man is WAY over done and overly plucked. Blech. I would never ogle him, let alone try to hook up with him. Overdone muscles are *not* sexy in my book.
Lee Swinney
No worries from us!

Misty Bolling
Then don’t do racy photos
Amaurys Arias
He won’t have to worry about that anymore
gaym50ish
If he’s going to be an asshole about it, I say someone should put his pic and contact info on as many gay dating sites as possible. Include some for S&M, rough sex, etc.
Peter McKinney
Too bad. I’m doing it right now.
David Chachki
I understand him it’s all of your faults for being so overly horny n sexual always bothering men this is what you get.

I see Brian is busy here spewing his internalized homophobia and misandry.
Desert Boy
@Brian: What are “gay-identifying men”? Just say gay men. It’s far more clear than your meaningless, hyphenated stupidity. You seem to think being obtuse makes you look smart. Believe me, you couldn’t be more wrong.
nolaboy
If I could buy this clown for what he’s worth and sell him for what he thinks he’s worth certainly I would have a substantial amount left over for a really hot hooker!

I’ll have to start masturbating to his photos… and on them.
averageguy40
I think he’s cute…and hot! I think he has a great body, that doesn’t mean I want to have sex with him.
John Begin
Too bad he doesn’t know what it like to be part of a discriminated minority. Wait. What? Stupid waste of steroids
Curty
This is why gay men need to contain themselves and stop the commenting and lusting after straight men. Smh… there are plenty of gay men to daydream and swoon over. So queerty you can stop the straight obsession and racy pics of straight identifying men.
Arcamenel
Misandry doesn’t exist.
Scott Groves
You ain’t all that duchebag!
James R Carter
Bahah who is looking?
Curty
Let me also say his homophobic rants were totally uncalled for… and him saying those things are disgusting. But seriously if someone says they are straight guys leave them alone…

First, love to see JMH flash his dick, then he can go f**k himself with a traffic cone.

Just another narcissistic dumb f#â?¬k! Who gives a rats ass!?!?

I for one don’t think he’s attractive at all what so ever, he really needs to get over him self. Hey Jerome Michael Nayanah … I have to words for you.

All of the above is complete and total bullshit.
Im TIRED of men like this these weak insecure whiny men who are always pissed off when some guy thinks they look good or even so much as compliments them.
If you are that insecure then you need to oh I don’t know reevaluate your own attitude and way of thinking and REACTING to things like this period.
Now please take your way too in love with yourself Neanderthal ass and crawl back into your cave with the rest of the uneducated boring little cavemen like yourself.
This world has enough stupidity the only thing men like this do is add to it not diminish it or lessen it.
Im glad he deleted his profile uncivilized people like this man need to educate themselves and develop some self awareness as to how they come across and how they treat others before they are dumb enough to post on a social site online where everyone can read what they are thinking .
Louis
I just went to this guys instagram page someone is way too in love with themselves someone needs some humility someone is an obvious narcissist.
Not to mention that BULGE in the muscles and those veins? Nasty.
That never looks healthy nor natural it looks like steroid use gone mad and steroids are bad and harmful enough as it is.

If you don’t like or want men and women to look at your almost naked pics then don’t post them. BTW, you’re about as good looking as the hair on my balls.

yeah i’d say that too if I wanted more folks to make me that much more popular.
jimmycurry01
Ah, you have to love the one-sidedness on Queerty and the legions of commenters who did not take pause to think about the entire situation. This guy is getting phone calls to his private number. These were likely very perverse phone calls considering the nature of the site that his personal information was posted to. I would venture to say that the type of people to call this body builder out of the blue to talk sex are indeed “not normal,” “promiscuous,” “disgusting,” and “sexually sick perverts.”
Calling any celebrity out of the blue is not normal.
Asking him for sex does indeed signify that those he is receiving calls from are promiscuous.
Can you seriously argue that that is not disgusting behavior on the part of the callers?
I believe it is perverse behavior.
Saying that these people spread HIV is not really necessary, and is inappropriate. Do keep in mind though, that he is from Africa, which is a continent that is riddled with massive numbers of people with HIV. While his comment is inappropriate, and perhaps misguided, it is true that promiscuity does play a role in the spread of HIV, and at least those calling him do seem to be rather promiscuous.
While I am absolutely certain that those calling him do not need Jesus in their lives, I am sure they need something more than what they have. They need something more fulfilling in their lives than calling a celebrity body builder on the phone for some dirty talk.
Everyone has a breaking point, and I venture to say that were any of you in this same situation, you too would have lost it and said things that are not entirely appropriate. While the things he said are NOT true of the entire gay community, many (perhaps not all) of the things he said are true of those calling and harassing him.
Blackceo
Whatever. The steroids must be affecting what Im sure was an already low IQ. He needs to take himself and his unattractive swole body and have seats.

Oh please, that’s a self-reflection of his own insecurities and integrity, or lack thereof. Interesting enough, most bodybuilders aren’t interested in women…….
