The American journalist Billy Bush admitted that he almost revealed the sexual orientation of Ricky Martin in his “more uncomfortable” interview with a celebrity to date.
Bush recalled the incident during an episode of the podcast “Literally! With Rob Lowe” by Siriusxm. The journalist said he was young and worked in New York when he received a call to fly to Miami and interview Martin at the time he released “Livin ‘La Vida Loca” in 1999.
“I told him that eight people I had talked about in the hotel lobby bar last night they wanted to know if it was gay.”Bush recalled.
“Then, she got stiff in the chair and says: ‘What?’ And then, Ricky Martin became serious and getting up from the chair and the microphone starting, He shouted: “Damn you are!”, Before leaving the place, he exclaimed: “Did you want a headline? Piece of garbage!”.
“I stayed there alone, thinking: ‘Oh, shit!’
A subsequent encounter and the apology for apologies to Ricky Martin
“I do not dedicate myself to hurt people. I dedicate myself to discover who I am and where I go. And in life you have to be able to make mistakes,” Bush said, reflecting on that incident. But things were not there. The journalist decided to return to the place where he was taking the press conference to apologize to the singer.
“I said: Ricky, I’m sorry I asked you that question. I don’t know what I was thinking. It was a carefree question. It was inappropriate. I’m very sorry and I promise you that this will never come to light‘”. And the” Night Fire, Snow of the Day “replied:” I have been fighting with this all my life. The time will come, the time will come. It will not be here, in this program, while I am promoting this album. ”
And continued: “It’s very personal for me. I appreciate you again. I forgive you.”.
After driving as rumors about his sexual orientation, Ricky decided to tell his truth in 2010, approximately seven years after that failed interview. He did it in his X account, in which he declared himself as “A fortunate homosexual man”.
