A new TMZ report outlines that several people close to Aaron Hernadez claim he was gay and had relations with men.
Aaron Hernandez was gay — according to several people close to him … and his private struggle with his sexuality caused him great emotional pain that may have turned him violent.Â
It’s all part of the Oxygen documentary, “Aaron Hernandez Uncovered” — which features interviews with Aaron’s close friends, ex-girlfriends and members of his legal team.Â
Aaron’s college girlfriend, Alyssa Anderson, says she first learned Aaron had a relationship with a man while they were attending the University of Florida … but he denied it at the time. It was only years later that Hernandez cryptically acknowledged her suspicions were true.Â
George Leontire — an openly gay member of Hernandez’s defense team — says he spoke with Hernandez at length about his sexuality and Aaron opened up like never before.Â
“This man clearly was gay,” Leontire said … “[He] acknowledged it. Acknowledged the immense pain that it caused him.”
Leontire added, “I think that he also came out of a culture that was so negative about gay people that he exhibited some self-hatred.”
Rumors of this spilled out immediately following his suicide. It was rumored that one of the notes that was left in his Cell was to a gay lover he had in prison.(Click Here to read our reporting on that)We also reported the fact that bible quotes were written on his forehead and the possibility that he was murdered.Â
