As previously reported Chris blasted Kenya in an E! News interview and admitted that while he’s heard speculation about his sexuality before, NO ONE has ever called him Chrissy. Before he married Kim however, people also wondered if he was a “deadbeat” or a “drug addict.”
So, I felt immediately it was going to be important for me, at some time, to set the record straight that she had fabricated the entire conversation. There is no one in the industry that calls me anything other than my name, especially to my face. Kimmy and I weren’t together in the Living Single days. So, she had to stretch pretty far to get that. [Kenya claims she first learned of the rumors surrounding Chris when she guest starred on Kim’s Fox sitcom, which ran from 1993-1998. Only problem? Kim was married to someone else at the time. She didn’t marry Chris until 2007.]
Now, I understand, I’m a Broadway performer without a real name, as far as Hollywood goes, and when Kim and I first got together, there was all kinds of speculation about me. Was I a deadbeat? Was I broke? Was I a drug addict? Was I a homosexual? There were all kind of rumors about me because nobody knew who this guy was dating, and eventually marrying, Kim Fields. She basically took that speculation, one aspect of it, and ran with it.
