In his first interview since the premier of Real Housewives of Atlanta where his estranged wife Porsha questioned his sexuality Kordell Stewart explains where the gay rumors came from...
Kordell tells V103,
“Those rumors that I got arrested for lewd acts in the park: One, I never got arrested. I don’t have a record in Pittsburg. It went from one park to another park I got arrested… I never got arrested in that state nor that city. As an African American in the game of football at that time and how I was being scrutinized at that position making millions of dollars, in Pittsburg! An Italian town, German, Polish. The last black quarterback in that was in that town Joe Gilliam. They ran him off for Terry Bradshaw. I wasn’t going to allow me to not, one: make my money, keep my job let alone indulge in a rumor that was not true.”
“That was a rumor that started because I wasn’t playing good football at that time.”
Kordell also says the final straw in their marriage came months before he filed for divorce when Porsha refused to allow his son to have a birthday party at their house.
