One of George Michael‘s ex-lovers is coming forward to suggest the dangerous, highly dose-sensitive drug GHB may have played a part in the artist’s untimely death.
Escort Paul Stag claims Michael was addicted to chemsex, and says he supplied him with numerous drugs before and after dating him between 2009 and 2013.
According to Pink News, Stag says “George was mad on G. He loved it. It is 100 percent he would have chems on Christmas Eve before his death.”
Talking to The Sun, the 48-year-old Stag says:
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.
He was incredibly sexually active and in his mind drugs equalled sex and sex equalled drugs. My belief is he didn’t separate that until the day he died.
I saw him collapse many, many times. He threw up on my bathroom floor and I had to kick him out of my house.
Stag says Michael called him about 500 times in nine years to get drugs from him.
My heart never sank when the phone went and it was a request from George. It was 300, 400, 500 times…Sometimes it would be twice a week, then nothing for a few weeks because of his work.”
Stag says that he and Michael never had sex when the pop star wasn’t on the drugs he supplied. They apparently met “through a gay magazine.”
Stag insists he only supplied Michael with the drugs because he didn’t want him to start using someone who was less trustworthy.

His ex-lover? Paid F**k buddy sure but not his lover. Paul Stag is a lowlife cretin who, despite knowing George’s drug problem, still supplied him with drugs. Is that the behaviour of a lover or a scheming, greedy opportunist? It’s a month since he died and this douche is peddling his story for money…shame on him and shame on the outlets who pay for such rubbish

Thank you. Stag is a greedy, fame-whore out to capitalize on the death of someone who cannot defend himself. There is a special place in hell for people like him.

It is interesting though. Remember when GHB was killing gay men in the 90’s? Used to be a big problem where the clubs had to post signs on the doors because they were tired of gay men over dosing in their establishments. Then the gay serial killer just sentenced for GHB poisoning in the UK. Now Georges death possibly from GHB overdose. I did it back in the day. I just didn’t realize it was still a thing.

I have been thinking for a while that drugs were involved. He was well known on the London gay scene for drugs. I remember him high as a kite at a party in the nineties
Still doesn’t detract from a unique talent and a beautiful man

I remember back in 1997 in SF being invited back to a party hosted by George Michael. George had scouts to find hot guys in the clubs to come back to his hotel. I never went because. Oh f*ck I don’t know why. Huge regret on my part. Anyways, drugs were of coarse involved.

I remember back in 1998 in SF being invited back to a party hosted by George Michael. George had scouts to find hot guys in the clubs to come back to his hotel. I never went because. Oh f*ck I don’t know why. Huge regret on my part since he was a rock legend. Anyways, drugs were of coarse involved.

Nobody should be surprised by this, as for decades he was into drugs and his so called “partner” who is a puto supplied them to him.

I think that’s interesting that he’s saying it’s GHB since people were talking about his heroin addiction. You wouldn’t be doing both since that’s a sure way to kill yourself. People that do GHB are usually also doing meth though.

No lover should talk about you like this after you died

This story is so saddening. RIP, George Michael.

George, was a superstar. Isn’t it strange that the current boyfriend reports that he slept in his car Christmas Eve night? C’mon. you’re boyfriends with a famous star with a 9 bedroom mansion, it’s Christmas Eve and you fall asleep in your car. George must have been high as a kite. OD’d. Some very dodgy stuff going on here. Did anyone else see the split-second video of George, lying dead in bed? It’s at the beginning of a youtube video and it’s basically just a flash, but you can see it’s George. Blue shirt, big belly, lying dead in bed. Who took that? Nah, the true story hasn’t been told yet.

Thanks. I didn’t no that. That’s why this needs to be explored. Just too many strange details.
I also agree with the others here. None of these assholes should be allowed to profit from this.
