Was Patti Labelle wrong for outing Luther Posthumously?

[I'm Blackman]

If you ask a man if he's gay and he doesn't give you a straight answer...he gay.

this.

and everybody knew.

RIP to a legend tho.

Everybody knew, people need something to be mad at

It wasn't necessarily her story to tell though even if it was open knowledge.

 

[Seoul Gleou]

No

but these CACs are for setting her up.

If she got interviewed and she wanted final edit, then they cut her interview, she was not being disingenuous.

She put that information out there years before on a public forum, so she really has no one to be mad at, but herself.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

She didn't out him, we already knew.

For that generation, no one really cared if someone THAT talented was gay since he kept his business private.

If he was straight and knocking up women, he wouldn't have been secretive about his personal life. Context clues and shyt.

that's why i say they're setting her up. we don't know if she lamented that decision or tried to add context to it because they cut out her entire interview and plugged in a snippet from a talk show years ago. why bother even interviewing her if that's what they were going to do

 

[David_TheMan]

you kids sound so dumb.
Every black american knew the man was gay

It doesn't matter whether she lamented the decision or added to it as she put that information out there years ago.

She had the opportunity then to do it, but didn't.

Big Luther was gay, once he lost weight he was delivert

I don't care. You don't either. Stop it.

Unless she got permission from him directly or it's in his will it wasn't for Patti to say. It was never her business to share.

I don't know the man but I find it hard to believe he said to Patti "please tell everyone I'm gay after I die". And if that's not the case her talking about it after he can't say anything was entirely selfish and self serving for her.

It's kinda gossipy and irrelevant but she wanted to share it any way.

This and if a man had outed him, that man would have been called all types of homophobic and canceled.

I love Patti Labelle. Shes literally just somebody’s aunt

we all knew Luther was gay. her saying it was confirmation. but, again, if they interviewed her with the intent of getting more information...only to cut it out, that does not make her wrong, here and now today. we wouldn't even be talking about what she did years ago if CNN didnt do a documentary on Luther and brought this up. we all knew the man was gay. just like we all knew Rock Hudson was gay. Patti didn't break any news and she certainly isn't a villain for what she did

How is it a setup to show your interview?

And how do you know that it was a cac? Jamie Foxx produced it and a black middle he aged woman named Dawn Porter directed it.

How is "her camp" upset when if she ain't even seen the shyt?
