Reality TV star Carl Radke is finally opening up about his gay past.
In a candid sit-down with Andy Cohen this week, the 32-year-old star of Bravo’s Summer House talked about that time he kinda sorta got naked in bed with another dude despite identifying as “a straight man.”

Just to recap: In the most recent episode of Summer House, Radke’s GBF Stephen revealed to the audience that Carl once hooked up with another dude when he was in his early 20s.
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.
Carl confessed to Stephen that it was “the best h***” he’s ever gotten.
“I can tell you this, Andy: I’m a straight man–very confident in my sexuality,” Radke said on Monday night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live. “It took me 10 years to actually come to grips [with it] and share it with someone.”
Turns out, he picked the wrong person to tell.

“I shared it with one of my gay friends, and somehow that got permeated to other people finding out,” Radke continued, adding that he felt “betrayed” by his fellow cast mate for revealing his secret.
Now that the cat’s out of the bag, though, Radke says he’s not dwelling on it.
“I’m a straight guy, very confident in myself,” he says. “Crazy sh*t happens to guys sometimes.”
Watch.

LOL! Ok, so just so we have this straight….this guy who is on a Reality show, told one of his castmates…not friend, but a castmate on a show that people audition for because they want attention, one of his deepest secrets………..and now he’s SURPRISED and upset it got out.
Or, we could look at what really happened. The guy wasn’t getting enough attention so leaked a gay subplot knowing it would get him on Andy Cohen’s show.
Chris
He told him off camera and after the season had ended… when they were hanging out regularly as friends.

Andy, I am gay and what your friend did is considered an unforgivable sin among most of us. Otherwise try not to worry. There are more straight men that seek out gay men for oral sex. More than many people realize.
ChrisK
Yeah, this giving a better BJ isn’t anything new.
Greg
Geezus, if he’s a straight man and confident in his sexuality, then why did it take him 10 years to come to grips with it? It was only head. He even said it was the best head. So how many more years before he comes to grips with the anal sex?
Chris
Everyone comes out when they’re ready. For a straight guy, that’s gotta cause some dilemmas. He may be confident now, but only after going through the process. It may ‘only’ be head, but if you identify as straight and you nut in a guy’s mouth, that’s gotta make you think.

Chris that is an absurd statement. Men experiment as much as girls, if not more. Especially at that age a guy could pop in any mouth. Quit trying to shame him for a nature event.
ChrisK
I don’t think that’s what Chris meant. Young guys are allot less free to explore their sexuality then girls. He had sex with a gay guy and enjoyed it. I can see that being an issue.
He BGB
H***. Lol!

Stephen is the worst reality character since Jesus Jugs on BVHW. Get rid of him he offers nothing but self shame and douchiness. Good for Carl for being confident enough to admit it. I don’t like the way it happened but good for him. Straight guys so experiment as we all know. But to shame him for it the way stephen did is unacceptable.

Love how he teased “tune in next week to see how it all plays out” TV whore for sure
radiooutmike
Well, at least the way he talked about it; he acknowledged it was pleasurable.
That is actually refreshing, even if he had reiterate how straight he is.

I see that as evidence that he really is straight. A gay man would know that if you want to keep something secret the very LAST person you should tell is another gay guy. LOL!

That’s insulting but I think you’re being serious so I won’t expect you to understand why..

Oh Pudman boo hoo take a joke getting offended is the price we pay for freedom of speech. And if it wasn’t a joke I still will say i agree. The “majority” of gay guys love to gossip maybe not you maybe not “all your gay Friends” but I’ve lived in many large cities and small and I’ve met a lot of people and that stereotype is true. And here’s proof.

Who is he?
Kenney G

Greg
