: Y’all know that we here at MediaTakeOut.com hate homophobia in all aspects. Check out what RuPaul had to say about working with rapper LL Cool J during the filming of his 1990s TV show In The House:
Here’s what he told journalist Clay Cane:
Interviewer CLAY CANE: You did an episode of LL Cool J's "In the House" back in the nineties. How was that working with him?We’re gonna give LL a little slack on this. That show was more than 10 years ago.RU PAUL: It was hideous and horrible. He made it so difficult because he was so afraid. He was afraid that he made everyone else on the set not enjoy it themselves either. In fact, when I was ready to leave the show because he was ignorant, they all said, "Look, please stay, we have been dealing with his fear for so long that it's become unbearable."
Just last week he had gotten into an altercation with someone about the OJ verdict because he believed that OJ was innocent and something happened on the set. So, I stayed, I did my episode, but to do this work, to excel on this planet, you have to be almost part therapist. Part psychology major to understand what's behind people's motives.
He had said some really nasty stuff, he was all surly at the table reading -- just fearful and ignorant. I understand, but they're not paying me that much money, I don't want to be around it. But, they begged me to stay and I did it. I'm glad I did.
Hopefully he’s grown up a lot since then…

*** THAT *** S*H*I*T UP!
If people dont want to be around *** SO BE IT! !
*** WANT THE WHOLE WOLRD TO BE ***! !
GO live in SOdom and GOmmorea, oh yea God destroyed it...
Ok. I don't want to step on anyone's toes but Rupaul is like 6'4'' barefoot and 6'9'' in heels. His height is intimidating alone. Now add the fact that he's a 6'9'' black man, rocking a platinum BLONDE wigs, 10lbs of make-up and faux lashes AND a sequin DRESS!!! I'm not *** but that is a whole lot for the average person to take in.
First of All all of the *** People Need 2 *** The F*** Up because if u actually believe all the stereotypes about *** then u r really ignorant and uneducated. We do not want u straighties and these days u can braely tell who's *** and who's straight so don't think that were lookin at u because we have standards just like everybody else... No w F*** Off!!!!
i don't get how you feel he is pushing his 'lifestyle' on "ya'll", all he wanted was to be treated polite. all this ish is gettin olde ya'll need to get a life *** stop judging folks. just do you, and let him do him. dam if he wanna wear womens cloths who cares lol why does it bother you? and its no nastier than what yall do on the low so please!
As long as a person is secure about their own sexuality another person sexual prefernce *** bother you,,people need to quit being so judge mental,,i have *** friends and have no problem wit it as long as they dont come at me like that,,,but i will love to knock ll down,,jus give me one ***,,call me ll,,yo wife can watch***hahaha....NEXXXXXXXXXT
I guess his fear of being exposed alluded to his behavior.....(*** shame though) After being in the entertainment industry most of his life and is constantly surrounded by *** folk all of the time, LL should be a bit more compasionate. Fear of exposure i say. Some of you "straights" on here please get a grip.
NOW WHO IN HELL DON'T KNOW THIS? HE HAS HAD SEXUAL CONTACT WITH A MAN (SUPPOSEDLY FORCED WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER)AND THE EXPERIENCE TAINTED HIM. AT THE TIME HE MAY HAVE ENJOYED THE CONTACT AND FEELS SHAMEFUL NOW THAT HE KNOWS BETTER, OR IT COULD BE THAT HE JUST DON'T TRUST *** AND THINKS THAT THEY ARE AFTER HIS CAKES AGAIN. EITHER WAY HIS CONFUSION IS UNDERSTANDABLE. MAYBE HIS BEHAVIOR COULD USE SOME WORK, BUT PEOPLE FEEL IT IS BETTER TO KISS CELEBRITY *** THEN TO CORRECT THEIR STUPID BEHAVIOR.
I dont know about this RuPaul story, but let me say this...It is sad to see how ignorant some of you can be (sexy42/dannyboo1981). Not every *** man wants every man they see. Now I'd be the first to admit their are some *** folks that cross the line but not the majority of them. We all need to respect one another. Enough with this *** ***. It's 2009, time for change!
*** THAT, SO AM I!!!!!....
But wait, I remember not so long ago that MTO was reporting that LL might be on the down low????....Wouldn't that mean the one of these stories is ***!!!!....
I would prefer to NOT be around a *** man too....To each their own and do what you please but stay the *** away from me!!!!
RuPaul..."a wounded dog will holler"...every time...people who are *** are the main ones who be on the DL...somebody should've asked that *** why you mad LL ? Why you mad ? LL be thinking about that ***...and he thinks everybody knows he be thinking about kicking it with dudes...so he call himself getting all defensive, like I said "a wounded dog will holler"...
Well, I guess many of you hate President Obama too - because his message has been unification for everyone. Black folks, especially, surprise me because of the opression we have had to face - to then turn around and discriminate against someone else - for what they do and how they live is OFF on so many levels. Now, I don't know enough about the LL situation to comment - but to read some of y'alls ign'ant posts just makes me sick! Even if you don't agree with a lifestyle - at least, don't be hateful about. Many of you lie - cheat - steal - gossip - judge - but no one is hatin' on you....and you *** hate on anyone else. Just MHO
NEWLIFE70- glad to see someone on the same page. People dont have to agree with *** but at least respect it. Its already hard enough as it is being BLACK (post-slavery) and *** (hate crimes) at the same time. I have tons of straight friends and I have never disrespected ANY of them. If you are secure in your manhood, you *** have a problem with *** men. MAXIMUS54- Yo...not cool. You have to realize most *** peeps are cool peeps and "ride or die" friends.
OK PEOPLE SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIT, IF LL WAS FRIENDS WITH RUPAUL YA'LL WOULD SAY HOW U DOIN LL, IF LL DOESN'T SAY A WORD ABOUT THIS YA'LL STILL SAY, HOW U DOIN LL AND IF HE DID SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE OR ACT STRANGE AROUND RUPAL YA'LL STILL CALL HIM HOW U DOING LL????? LOOK I DON'T KNOW IF LL COOL J IS ON THE DL OR NOT BUT I'M SICK AND TIRED OF WOMEN THINKING THEY SHOULD KNOW HOW A STRAIT MAN SHOULD ACT. NONE OF YOU ARE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH IT. IF ANY OF YOU WOMEN ON HERE AT A BOYFRIEND OR HUSBAND THAT HAD A *** MALE BEST FRIEND YA'LL WOULD START TO THINK TWICE ABOUT YOUR HUBBY THE MIN SOMETHING DON'T LOOK RIGHT AND IT WOULD BE BECAUSE HE HAS A *** BEST MALE FRIEND. HOWEVER IF THAT SAME DUDE HATED ALL GUYS THAT HE SAW WERE *** YOU WOULD CALL HIM A ***...IN OTHER WORDS, STRAIT MEN CAN'T REALLY WIN THIS FIGHT. THE ONLY THING TO DO IS JUST BE WHO YOU ARE AND FEEL HOW YOU FEEL AND BUMP WHAT EVERYBODY SAYS CAUSE LIKE KATT WILLIAMS SAID, ***.I.G.G.A.'S GONNA HATE REGARDLESS!!!!!!
***...reading this reminds me of that Sonic Youth song w/ Chuck D- "Kool Thing". It was basically about how the singer interviewed LL back in 1990 or so and he was basically extra sexist and ignorant, and a little racist himself. *** is stupid. I wouldn't put it past LL on this one because a lot of black men- really, men in general, have this ridiculous fear and attitude toward the LGBT community. I would hope that some 10 years' time
I'm sorry, GOD does not respect that *** *** so why the hell should we!!!!....And why don MOST *** people or people that just accept *** people try to defend that *** by saying the same ***, "If you have a problem with *** or are a *** you are on the down low or have some type of hidden attraction to ***"?....GET THE *** OUT OF HERE WITH THAT ***!!!....How about us straight *** just don't feel comfortable around you nasty ***!!!....That *** is about as unnatural and suicide!....
Reading all these negative, *** comments from black people make me sick. And that's why I am happy when you stupid, black *** get discriminated against. How dare you demand to be treated fairly and then turn around and discriminate against another group
And any of you black men who are sooooo *** it is because you are ***. Deal with it.
1) If that was a true experience Rupaul had then that was his experience, none of us were there at the time and there is always three sides to every story: his version, your version, and the truth!
2) Not every *** person want straight people and not every *** person is looking to change the world from being straight to *** EITHER and to add you can't convert, quote on quote, "THE WILLING".....
3) Acceptance and Respect are 2 totally different things people get confused. No one has to except anything ***, straight, or otherwise, but we all as human beings should be Respected
4) Being Straight is NOT a measure or symbol of manhood, and if you believe that then you're totally ignorant! Taking care of your business and life and being a law abiding citizen is being a man....So we sure do have a hell of a lot of black men in our community then since a host of these men lay up with women, create kids, and then don't take care of them, so I guess that's the new definition of being a man as long as you are straight, LOL
4) It amazes me still how people quote the Bible but when none of us and I do mean none of us are living up to every law and statute that is written within the Bible.....If you read the Bible, Sodom and Gomorrah was not the only places God destroyed... I wonder what God thinks of all these people having unmarried, unsafe *** and having children out of wedlock, and having abortions....No one don't want to have that conversation!
5) Some of you guys and girls kill me with your comments becuase not only are you ignorant but downright foolish. Why? You are posting real pics of yourself and saying a whole bunch of ignorance that can lead to you getting fired on your jobs. I hope you realize not everyone on your job is straight, so I hope none of your colleagues or bosses especially log on here and see your picture next to your "outstanding" comments. Based on some of the ignorance on here some of you really can not afford to lose your job, that is if you are on one to begin with!
6) While some of you find same *** relations creepy, sickening, etc that is fine and you are entitled to your opinion but to me it's just as sickening, disgusting, and creepy for people who do not know each other to hook up, have unprotected ***, let someone have an *** inside of you,or have multiple peolpe have *** inside of you then have a child by a man or woman you do not know and/or catch a STD, and then go on Maury trying to find out which man created your child and some man claiming a woman is a *** when he layed down with the woman with no protection....please don't get me started with this one
7) Also just as a last thought be careful what you say and how you treat people...You never know who may be placed in your life to give you, yor last piece of bread or be a friend to you in a time of need
If anyone do not like what I have to say or wants some real education, etc then by all means hit me up at brianwhoa@yahoo.com
Negros are so ignorant, the replies on this post just confirms what I knew all along, black people are ignorant and stupid. That's why asians, latinos and whites (superior races) don't want your ***, because most of you are loud, ignorant, hypocritical and stupid. To discrminate another group of people after all of you have been through, Im spechless.
and by the way TOO FUNNY all of this coming from MTK, a site that constantly laughs and mocks *** people. Well, the site is run by ***#ggers after all.
I dont see how ll can be *** when in fact he is a ***. Practically all those who made it big in the industry has to go to the casting couch. Whether its male or female. Nobody but those *** azz jews run all dat ***. My ppl please look up the BLACK BOULE BY STEVE COKELY. Also go on youtube and look up 1619symphony. this will clear alot of things up about the industry
Why do *** and carpetmunching dykes tell themselves someone is fearful of their sexual choice? What the hell would someone straight be afraid of? I would have very limited conversation to only on a necessary level if I had to work with some big, *** near 7ft *** that wanna further make a fool of themselves by dressing like a woman.
lol .....wow yall men are so touchy to be called about being called ***...
Everything most of you guy say shows ur ***.....
Why is it that STR8 men assume ALL *** men want them? WTF? If your str8 and a *** man is looking at you.....THATS IT! HE IS JUST LOOKING! THATS WHAT WE HAVE EYES FOR! Now if someone comes on to you thats different but not wanting to BE AROUND SOMEONE WHO IS *** OR DOGGING THEM OUT JUST BECAUSE OF WHO THEY SLEEP WITH IS OUTFLAT ***...
Thats why half the time these men stay in the closet. If ur friend is *** he *** sho aint gonna tell u because of how he sees your react towards others.
I really do feel like its a sense of denial about your feelings. Most men who are secure with their sexuality would not even worry about somethime so simple or even go out ttheir way to dog themout......what for? your str8 right? more *** men means most likely more women for u right?
Go stop them young fellas from slanging dope and killing each other on our corners everyday....put effort into that. Yall quick to tear down a *** man but yet its your own "str8" males tearing down our community...wtf?
just deal with this world...there is worse *** to worry about then *** people WTF!
