Mexican pop star and reality TV judge Yahir is speaking out after his son, Tristan Othón Fierros, came out as bisexual and said he was considering a career in porn.
23-year-old Tristan, who has struggled with addiction and done several stints in rehab, made headlines earlier this month when he told the tabloid TVNotas that he was in a relationship with another man and preparing to launch an OnlyFans page.
“I’m going to dedicate myself to that and to let go of the things that have tied me down since I was a child, stop being the son of a famous person, and do what I want,” he said.
He followed that up with a video posted to Instagram, in which he stated: “I am a bisexual person. Let’s leave the labels, man. There is something beyond this issue. Love, man, is liberal because you have to live.”
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.
Yahir, who is a judge on La Voz Mexico, Mexico’s version of The Voice, remained silent as his son’s story spread across Spanish media all last week. Now, in an interview with Hoy, he’s finally speaking out. And he’s not happy about any of this.
“I am living a nightmare,” he said. “My son is in a very strong relapse after several rehabilitation centers and it is very sad to learn that this addiction problem is leading him to do such strong things.”
Not long after the TVNotas interview, Tristan launched his OnlyFans page, where he has begun uploading content. He also revealed this his boyfriend is aspiring singer Axxl Mart, who is a former contestant on La Voz Mexico.

“That he is bisexual, to me, the truth does not bother me at all,” 42-year-old Yahir said. But, he added, “I cannot support him either with the ideas of being a porn actor or with the ideas of continuing to take drugs.”
In his interview with TV Notas, Tristan described his relationship with his father as deeply strained, saying they hadn’t spoken in months. When asked about this, Yahir said that if his son wants to have a relationship with him, he’ll first need to get sober and then find a job. Other than porn, that is.
“He has all my love, with all my support,” he said. “He has always had it. But right now, definitely with all this, the only thing I see is that Tristan needs to work. He has never had a job.”
We hope these two are one day able to mend their fractured relationship.

support for being bi. good.
refusing to support his drug addiction. good.
it doesn’t sound like he disowned him but rather that he cut him off and tristan is resorting to porn as a result. #choices

It is cringe-y how for so many of these young public figures who attach themselves to “queerness” (especially a bi identity) there also seems to be an attachment to mental health struggles, drug addictions, gay insecurities and a desire to exploit their queerness for profit and/or self-promotion. Unfortunately, traumas, insecurities, hetero-normal influence, fluidity, confusions about the gender, sexual, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum- it can lead to a multitude of struggles and I’ll-conceived paths for some. But good luck to both father and son.

What an a-hole. “He has all my love…..but he needs to work.” Seriously? I thought parental love was supposed to be unconditional, not based on your child’s career choices.

His dad has connections. So, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to find a good paying job. It just seems like he doesn’t want to work at all outside of getting nude/indulging sex for money. And honestly, that’s his prerogative. There are many people who find comfort/acceptance in sex work. Though it unfortunately tends to be short-term. But we don’t really know the nuances of their relationship. Most parents aren’t equipped to deal with a drug addicted, leeching child dealing with mental health struggles and who indulges sex work. That doesn’t mean there’s no love or support. But they have to form some distance for their own well-being. But honesty, he shouldn’t have spoken to the public at all about his child.

Reading some of these comments makes me wonder when we stopped realizing the truth. There is the father’s truth, the son’s truth and somewhere in the middle is, “the” truth.
Donston
That’s a tired cliche because the “truth” is frequently no where near the middle. Also, its not like he’s claiming the dad abandoned or abused or disowned him. So, there isn’t much “truth” to dissect. They both should just not be going to the public this messiness.
