Australian singer Troye Sivan‘s photo leak happened last week, and he kept his cool surprisingly well.
Troye had a good attitude — “I look good,” he joked. But it still really sucks to have your privacy violated like that.
But now he’s turning a bad thing into money by releasing a limited-edition line of grandmotherly underwear. They are black and unisex and cover up plenty of skin — so sexy! You can pick up a pair from his website for one week only. Will they rise in value after that, or be forgotten on the dustheap of marketing gimmick history? Truly, underwear is the new bitcoin.
“Jokes aside, this sucks,” Sivan Tweeted. “Nothin I can do now.”
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.
Well, apparently not nothin. Releasing a line of underwear is probably the best way to diffuse tension around the whole thing. As celeb responses to sexy scandals go, this one isn’t bad. Maybe that guy on the gay Bachelor should hire Troye’s PR folks.
as a response to my nudes leaking I made a line of unisex undies :// https://t.co/BzUD4yCv3v pic.twitter.com/Z9GlJJkuTw

Ugliest underwear I’ve seen in a long time. On purpose?

I get really pretty damn tired of the hateful comments about people’s bodies, being thin, not having a 10 inch dick, etc., etc. Obviously you guys are perfect in every single way. Try being nice and supportive and NOT a dick for once.

All I gotta say is Work it gurl! Work it while ya got it!

Well, I’d never heard of him, but Wikipedia comes up trumps again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troye_Sivan
Quite a career for a 21 year old in Western Australia!
And for the poor sods who lament Queerty’s lack of links to said dick, Google comes up trumps too: http://minetboys.tumblr.com/post/87850320879/troye-sivan-nudes-leaked

@stranded: Has anyone got a “cute asshole”? Isn’t it more like degrees of less awfulness? But hey it’s not my department so to speak.

@cancorv: And IMHO, he has nothing to be ashamed of in the stiff-richard department, either.
