The gay rumors continue to swirl around convicted killer Chris Watts.
To make a long and truly horrifying story short: Watts confessed to murdering his pregnant wife and two kids in Frederick, Colorado last August.
In November, he pleaded guilty to nine criminal counts–including murder, the unlawful termination of a pregnancy, and tampering with a dead body.
Shortly after Watts was arrested, Trent Bolte, a 29-year-old man from Wyoming, came forward to say he had a romantic relationship with Watts that lasted almost a year.
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.
Bolte first spoke anonymously with HLN host Ashleigh Banfield, alleging that he met Watts on the dating app MeetMe and engaged in an “instant” connection.
“He reached out to me and messaged me,” he told Banfield. “It was small talk. He told me his age. He had two daughters. … I asked why his profile said straight. He said he was not out and not ready to be out as far as sexuality.”
In January, Bolte identified himself publicly in an interview with Inside Edition, where he elaborated on the alleged 10-month love affair.
“He said he didn’t know if he was bisexual or gay,” Bolte told Inside Edition.
“Chris said that he was in love with me. He said he had never been so comfortable with someone. He said he felt like he could actually be himself around me.”
Bolte also showed dozens of text messages he claims were sent to him from Watts on the app WhatsApp, including one that said “I miss your face.”
He also claimed Watts gave him money for cosmetic treatments, including Botox and lip fillers.
Now, in a jailhouse interview released this week, Watts denies Bolte’s story, calling him “some dude from Wyoming” and saying the story “blew my mind.”
“I was like, who the hell is this guy?” he says.
Watts insists he’s never met Bolte before in his life, nor has he ever traveled to Wyoming or downloaded the app WhatsApp.
But things don’t stop there, because apparently there may be a second man who is preparing to come forward with accusations against Watts.
In the jailhouse interview, Watts revealed that his lawyer told him about another guy who claims to have had sex with Watts and who has been talking to police about it.
The man alleges to have met the killer in a rehab facility, which Watts also denies.
When asked if he’s ever had any gay experiences, any interest in men, or ever wondered about “experimenting” with men, Watts responds, “No.”
As for Bolte, he hasn’t had the easiest time since coming forward with his story.
“Social media has drug me through the dirt and back because the media getting hold of picture of me, releasing my name on record,” he says.
“The trolls of social media have called me a fudge packer, he/she/it, the f word, homo, anything you can think of but I’m trying to rise above it.”
All these messages still about #ChrisWatts….I promise that I hate me more than you do…

Watts is currently serving three consecutive life sentences and will never be eligible for parole.

I may have killed my wife and children, but don’t accused me of being gay!!! I’m not a monster. LOL Reminds of the Yorkshire Ripper’s father saying he knew no son of his could be a poof.
rodzilla
i would bet there are vast swathes of this country where if asked parents would still prefer that a child was a mass murderer over being a “queer”. and at least one of the subjects in this piece could benefit from counseling. what a shame!

Chris Watts is a monster! I met a guy in Sydney Australia who was originally from London. He was a bottom and said his father came into his bedroom when a guy was on top of him and was furious about his son being a poof, but he did not kill him. He ousted him from the house, so he came to Sydney where I met him, but he wanted to go home to London, so he must have gone back to London.

not shocking at all

Why is this news?
startenout
Because yet another man has come forward and is talking to police. There may be more to the story. Do you know how news works?
crazycorgi
It’s so horrible to say, because the man is a monster, but he’s a really good looking guy, and that being said, he could get a much better looking guy to fool around with than this duck-billed platypus freak. I’m not buying his attention seeking story for one minute.
startenout
It is horrible to say. Closet case murderers take who they get.
mlo88
I agree
cohen
Were you looking in a mirror when you described the guy.
john325
He’s the one that bought the guy the duck bill platypus lips and cosmetic procedures, though… He’d look decent if it wasn’t for the lips. That guy’s face was his first victim.
Rock-N-RollHS
@ john325 psychos attract psychos. Um, so Watts forced him to go to doctor and make him look like a trans hooker? Victims victims everywhere! What will they do when they the sh*t really goes down. The only victims I see so far are the wife and kids.
Raphael
Queerty is doing the same thing they did with the guy from Pulse shooting. Who cares with whom they slept!? If anything, we should distance our community from those psychos… That fact they are possible gay it’s not something to “brag about”.
ricdardc1
I say within a year locked up the B*tch will be a total Bottom, & sold for Cigerettes. I suggest he get The series from H.B.O.’s ” OZ ‘ to learn how to serve your daddy in Prison.
batesmotel
The FBI found the guy was lying. You’re a little late to the real story.

If indeed you learned you dated / had some sort of quasi-relationship with a man who admitted to choking to death his pregnant wife and then smothering his two beautiful little daughters and dumping their bodies in an oil tank, would you seriously want to identify yourself? No, you would not. The only people who need any more details are prosecutors, the police, and surviving family members. That’s it.
While it sounds like this guy has been verified as a liar, the fact remain it’s disgusting to think people actually want to profit off the murder of innocent children. 🙁
Toofie
Not sure you’d want to admit hooking up with a man who murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters unless it was to help convict him. Hopefully he has a long painful life in prison.
GayEGO
Chris Watts is a demented murderer, regardless of his sexual attraction, and he has no excuse for what he did!
niles
He’s obviously lying, you incredibly gullible pack of fools. Oh but why why would he lie? Attention
rosetodd
So, he can admit to killing his family, but not being Gay. He is so messed up. If he’s in GENPOP, he’ll make somebody a gdlk bitch.

So what? Yes, it’s ‘news,’ that’s what the Media does, but the reality is SO WHAT? Except to titillate gossip queens, there is no point to this ‘news.’
