Why Is Attention-Starved Beau Breedlove Suddenly Running From the Press?

To say Beau Breedlove isn't reveling in his media fame would be an understatement. He's happily given interviews to the media. He stripped down for porn rag Unzipped. And he's happily told his story to anyone with an email address. So why is he suddenly running from the press?

Breedlove yesterday filed for restraining order against Brad Walth, a reporter for The Oregonion who's been covering the scandal between Breedlove and Portland Mayor Sam Adams, his former lover.

For what it's worth, The Oregonian calls the allegations "absurd." Editor Sandy Rowe: "Mr. Breedlove gave us an on-the-record interview voluntarily. He asked for nothing in exchange for the interview, and the newspaper made him no promises about what it would or would not publish."

So why is Breedlove suddeny press shy?

One tip in to Queerty claims Breedlove is acting in tandem with Adams, who's still being investigated by the attorney general for possibly violating campaign laws and having a sexual relationship with Breedlove before he turned 18 — which makes sense, given new revelations that Adams lied about his relationship with Breedlove. So, the theory goes, any attention Breedlove receives (or statements he gives to the press) are bad for Adams' legal and political situation.

So is this a favor to an old flame? The case of an overzealous reporter? Or simply a scandal that refuses to die?


UPDATE: Breedlove's restraining order request was denied by a judge, who said he needed to show "an immediate threat of physical violence." Being subject to a reporter's questions, apparently, doesn't qualify.

He is so desperate for attention and so over. He should change his name to "Ho Needslove".

Your guess is as good as ours.

I have no doubt in my mind this kid is some narcissistic a$$ hat who reveled in the attention he got.

Sam made a stupid stupid STUPID mistake.

And more than likely will be recalled in July.

The only winner was Breedlove's Ego.

For fifteen minutes.

Eat it up douche..

I have to think here that if breedlove were a female would any of this trama even still be news? Sorrowfully, probably not.

Double standard. Gay men must either be in a 20 year relationship or celebate so the general public can stomach them……

Do you think there would have been such a backlash if Adams had screwed a 17 year old female?? It would have been a flash in the pan, news for a day and then it would have withered. Not so since he's gay and has to play the part of a trappist monk to get elected.

Sam, move down to Palm Springs. They'll vote you in with your sorted past

Can we get another Adam Lambert post up in here instead of one about these two douches?

@stevenelliot: i'm gonna have to disagree in part. i think potential statutory rape issues are exponentially magnified in people's minds if the minor is female, and sex with female underlings immediately conjures up harassment/coercion scenarios for most people.

Hey, I hear that in Portland, you don't have to be over 18 to have a Sam Adams!
