Radar Online is back at it again, publishing more outrageously homophobic and salacious “reports” about celebrities and other public figures. This time it’s concerning convicted killer Scott Peterson.
“Caged killer Scott Peterson has morphed into the prison ‘Snowbunny’ behind bars,” the article begins, “exchanging sexual favors with a group of burly inmates for protection.”
Peterson is currently on death row in San Quentin State Prison in California after being convicted in 2004 of killing his pregnant wife, Laci Peterson, and their unborn child.

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.
Radar claims to have gotten the information from another death row inmate, Raynard Cummings, who says the 45-year-old murderer regularly performs sex acts on him and others in the shower and exercise yard in exchange for protection since being removed from protective custody.
In an 18-page letter, 61-year-old Cummings alleges Peterson also hand washes his underpants and gives him “oily back rubs.”
“Taking SP [Scott Peterson] in was and is one of the sweetest move[s] I’ve ever made in 37 years of death row imprisonment,” the letter reads.
It continues: “For whatever reasons, SP wanted to hang out with the badest [sic] of the blackness… I call him my Death Row sissy because he’ll do just about anything to save his worthless neck. He knows he’s one of the most hated men in here.”

But this is hardly the first time Radar has ventured into homophobic territory with it’s “reporting.”
In April, it published a bogus article about John Travolta’s “notorious gay orgy jet”, claiming he used the jet to “feed his bottomless lust for gay sex” by flying “nearly a dozen male lovers on a transglobal orgy.”
Last year, it published a truly tasteless article slut-shaming George Michael’s boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz, for his “secret gay porn past” just weeks after the singer’s untimely death.
And in 2016, it ran a fictitious homophobic story “outing” Will Smith for paying hush money to cover up a gay affair he had with his longtime friend Duane Martin.

Why doesn’t Hulk Hogan sue these people out of existance?
seaguy
Cause the chairman of the company that owns Radaronline along with the National Enquirer along with other magazines is a huge Trump supporter and doner named David Pecker. Theil is pro Trump and a Republican so he wouldn’t fund a lawsuit against his own.
Donston
Or how about just stop paying attention to Radar Online instead of feigning outrage but still using their “reports” as clickbait of your own? Like every tabloid it’s driven entirely by salacious and outrageous “speculation”. That’s not gonna change.
oldpluto
I so agree, Donston. This publication needs to stop giving them the extra P.R. that they do. I would never have known about this online trash machine.
Donston
This a site that used to do many of the same things as Radar Online until it was no longer politically correct. Now, they want to have it both ways.
xamthor
so…they published someones fan fiction as “journalism”?

I always thought the price a prisoner paid for his notorious and offensive actions against children, his family, and really children everywhere, were the tortures he had to endure from the other prisoners he was incarcerated with. In the case of Scott Peterson, he may be able to enjoy the means he uses to protect his person, since he murdered his wife and child because he preferred sex with other men. I am gay but can still abhor what he did to his family. There is no mistake when a gay man marries. When the truth is known, there’s the option of divorce and whatever restitution seems appropriate. Murder isn’t an option. True innocents are the victims. No one should feel sorry for Scott Peterson. If anything, his punishment wasn’t severe enough by half… RobtheElder

A judge doesn’t sentence a person to be abused by inmates or guards. The punishment is jail time and/or death. At least, that’s the way the system is supposed to work in a civilized society.
Juanjo
We are supposedly a civilized nation which lives by a constitution and laws but not the law of the jungle. His punishment for his crime is imprisonment and execution, not torture either be the state or by proxy.
That said, my understanding of prisoners on death row in California is that they are kept in single occupancy cells and closely monitored. They do have a common area where they can socialize. But I doubt the story related is remotely accurate.
Paco
He preferred sex with other men? Then why was his mistress a woman and not a man?
seaguy
It’s an unspoken price, Jeffrey Dahmer ended up getting the death penalty via jailhouse justice as it is called. I hate to say it but Peterson might have been wise to offer himself then he get’s to control things a bit rather than just having to spend his time in fear never knowing when he might get attacked and raped. Offering himself up as a bitch means he can at least make the sex consensual removing the violence of rape from the equation.
Florida Brad
It is my understanding that death row prisoners are in individual cells, take individual showers, and excersize alone. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I dont think so. So where is all this action occuring. I doubt that it is.
niles
you are correct
Lacuevaman
depends on the prison and state or federal affiliation
paul dorian lord fredine
while the story may be fodder for the prison-rape scene fantasies of some we’re actually supposed to believe the writings of someone else convicted and also on death row? can we say ‘reliable source’? maybe he can sell it as a screenplay for a few more cigarettes or fritos from the prison commissary.
Smith David
This story is pure TRASH!
tjack47
Exactly, I too have always heard or read that death row inmates have no contact with others, except a guard. It’s complete BS. Are you at Queerty so desperate for stories that you keep writing this shit? Drivel!
Kangol
No, they like the clicks and responses, and articles like this certainly generate them. They have to pay the bills somehow, you know.
Kangol
I love how Queerty criticized Radar Online for being “homophobic” yet repeated nearly every salacious detail, down to the underwear-washing and the fact that this white murderer was giving up his mouth and tail to black prisoners to save his life. I guess there wasn’t space for the descriptions of what happened on the way to the prison infirmary or when the guards locked the cell doors at night, but maybe Radar Online can share those fantasies, er, stories too and Queerty will duly report them, with the requisite disdain of course.
hellinhaven
wow…reminds one of Deliverance…that squeal like a pig moment…gross
Kieran
So let’s see, gay-shaming Scott Peterson is “homophobic drivel”, but depicting President Trump and Putin as gay lovers is absolutely justified. Sure why not.
Juanjo
Oh look, Miss Kieran managed to work her obsession with Donald Trump into the discussion.
Kieran
@Juanjo Spoken like a true homophobe. MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid would be proud of you.
Kangol
We know you love Trump, Kieran, and will defend that lying racist monster to the bitter end. We also know Trump can’t be Putin’s gay lover, Kieran, because Trump is a heterosexual whoremonger who, according to the Cohen tapes and Michael Avenatti, was
–1) probably paying off a number women to keep them silent before the 2016 election,
–2) praying the divorce deposition with his ex-wife Ivana, in which she accused him of brutally raping her, didn’t get out, and
–3) may have been worried about having gotten one of his side-pieces pregnant!
But he is Putin’s handpuppet. Putin’s fist was so far up Traitor Trumpkin’s behind in Helsinki he could scratch that shriveled pea of brain.
DCguy
Oh look, one of the anti-lgbt bigoted accounts is on here once again turning any story into a cry about Trump’s victimhood.
Lacuevaman
note the commenters to your post. follow them and see how they are fixed on one point alone, if a queer doesn’t believe the way they do they are worthless and loathsome.
MacAdvisor
We know this story is false because death row inmates are kept in single cells and are allowed only two hours of recreation outside of their cells six days a week and are always by themselves. They even eat in their cells, not in the chow halls. Death row inmates may have work assignments that are restricted to the death row housing unit. Thus, Peterson would never had been in contact with the source here.
Also, I think Peterson’s conviction is a travesty of justice. We don’t know the cause of death for Lacy Peterson. For all we know, she died of natural causes. How can we convict someone of murder beyond a reasonable doubt when we don’t even have a cause of death? The guy was a jerk and was convicted for that reason.
roth99
I think he did all he could to get convicted. He gave interviews to local tv and then continued his affair with a woman, not his wife, just days before his wife was to give birth. I think others have been convicted on less evidence. One is found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, not any. He will most certainly never be killed by the state. California has more or less ended the penalty 20 years ago. His life will be one none of us would wish to follow. He has another 40 years to live and his parents will die and then only certain women who long to be near such a despicable fellow will contiue to correspond with him.
JAW
Homophobic??
I do not think so
Homoerotic…
Heck Yes.
DCguy
If Radar Online is so hated and print such drivel why give them the exposure?
Aires the Ram
I’ve never seen Radar Online before, so I have no opinion regarding this article……….EXCEPT…………During the Scott Petersen trial, did anybody elses gaydar go off as strongly as mine did, whenever I’d see him on television?
roth99
I think he was sexy but there was no evidence that he was gay. All his history was wanting to date and have sex with women.
Aires the Ram
@roth99: True, but the ole’ gaydar goes off, when it goes off!!
