“It’s really important to remember that being gay is such a small part of your story. It can be a big part of who you are, but you don’t want people to forget what you’re really about.
“Like me,” he says, suddenly saucy. “Money hungry. … I vary skin tones day-to-day. That’s what defines me. Gay? No, no. Beautiful.”
A really interesting read.
Hmm, money hungry? Good luck with it, Adam.
You know most athlete become main stream celeb after achieving something big in their sports but Adam Rippon for all the media attention actually hasnt achieved much in skating. The attention all started with the Mike Pence thing and then the media wanted him to promote gay rights. I dont see how his fame is going to hold up just based on the fact he's a gay athlete and his "personality"
I think, having read the entire article, the headline is “Adam Rippon wants to be famous” because no one is going to read an article with the headline “Adam Rippon wants a career after skating where he can give back to the community and be a role model for kids who feel alone or bullied”.
And I think those are great reasons to want to be famous.:thumbsup:
As someone who has lost a family member to combinations of drink and opioids (although not anti anxiety like Xanax) I find Adam’s comment funny then, funny now and it doesn’t affect my opinion of him. But everyone has a different reaction to those kinds of comments and there’s no right or wrong way to react. And Adam certainly isn’t responsible for predicting that. :think:
What did they mean when they called Nathan Chen the “Quadruple axel king”.
Adam is a beautiful skater and I’m a fan but really he can be super obnoxious in a way a female skater could never get away with.
