Did Tiffany just pull a Carrie Fisher? While Fisher purposefully remarked that everyone knew John Travolta is gay and that he should just come out already, the 80s singer may have merely, uh, let it slip that New Kids On The Block boy bander Jonathan Knight is family. Not that any of you will be shocked!@##$$!! UPDATE: It appears Knight isnât terribly upset.
On Thursdayâs Watch What Happens Live, Tiffany told Andy Cohen she was once involved with Knight â and then goes on to describe him as âthe quiet one. The shy one. Heâs fabulous. But he became gay later.â Not missing a beat, Andy responds, âDid you turn him?â And then Tiffany reveals the obvious clues: âNo. I had issues with that, I was thinking maybe I did. But no, now looking back when we were dating, he was so much fun â we used to do facials together, he was so easy to talk to, and he was fabulous.â (Chimes in fellow guest Debbie â sorry, Deborah â Gibson: I had gay BFs too!)
We used to live in such simpler times, when it wasnât old celebrity pals but the National Enquirer that outed you. But maybe Jonathan is okay with this? Weâre hearing murmurs about him expressing interest in Howard Bragmanâs new A&E show Coming Out. But weâve also heard word that Knight is ready to go public since at least 2008.
UPDATE: We shouldâve checked Knightâs Twitter account first. Though he doesnât come out in a tweet, or confirm what Tiffany said, he does come to her defense â signaling heâs just fine with his sexuality being out there.
How about we take this to the next level?

“But maybe Jonathan is okay with this?”
He is, he’s not hiding his gayness:

Ummmmmm, hi, you guys at Queerty are even more slow than Advocate. Jonathan Knight came out several years ago. About the same time he admitted that he was in treatment for something like panic disorder.

@gregger:
I know, I read that he had come out. I’m sure even Queerty touched on it. He isn’t in the closet!

I remember reading some interview or something years ago where this guy came out.

A former boyband member is gay?

Next up, we reveal that water runs downhill and the sun rises in the east!

Screech was in a boy band?
What’s a boy band?

I already thought he was out. đ

After looking at the inset photo, I didn’t realize ‘all this time’ Tiffany was so ugly. If any man had that by his side, it was either because he is gay or wanted to become gay.

Who the hell is Tiffany?

Yet more trivial garbage from Bravo. It’s time someone pressed the flush button on Bravo.

unfortunately i cant see this clip as it’s “unavailable”. not fair *stamps feet peevishly*
I WANT ANDY IN MY AREA! (something i NEVER thought i’d hear myself say!)
i wanted to see how these relics are holding up. from a glimpse at that still i think tiff has the edge.
they do say after 40 you have to make a choice: your ass or your face. and debbie looks her age in the face, even if her body wins; while tiffany always had an ass for a face anyway.
note to self: jeez you’r becoming shallow. this site is having a NASTY effect on you.

Maybe the majority of the public does not pay attention until a person comes out on the front cover of a magazine or something similar.
They could probably release pictures of Taylor Lautner being “spit-roasted” and enough delusional female fans would not believe he was gay, unless Taylor confirmed it himself!

@hephaestion: She was a celebrity participant on the recent reality tv show “Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Wrestling” on Country Music Television. Before that, she was a teen singing “sensation” of the 80’s whose gimmick was being enamored with hanging out at the shopping mall.

wrong Knight brother – wish it was Jordan
