Atlanta man attacked for “outing” Tyler Perry?

Did an Atlanta man get violently attacked for public outing a popular playwright? That’s the news that’s buzzing today after a gossip blog posted a salacious story about an aspiring Youtube star.


On Tuesday, “news” surfaced that a man named Walter Hampton was viciously attacked after airing out the sexuality of Tyler Perry. According to the blog that’s known for its tabloid-style stories, Hampton’s face and arm were slashed by “goons” in retaliation for claiming that Perry was gay.


Unfortunately for the gossip rag the story rings is far from true and Hampton even clarified the injuries himself on social media.

“LMAO!!! Does this really count as major news? Do I need to hire a publicist?,” wrote Hampton on his public Facebook page. “I suffer a injury from a glass door falling on me. Did the door attack me? […] Why are these crazy people reporting that I was assaulted? Does anyone do any real reporting today?”


Furthermore in an online radio interview Hampton confirmed that he was not attacked.

He did add in this tidbit however about the famed playwright on Facebook:

“Tyler Perry outed himself years ago. That man was out at the gay clubs dancing  on speakers.”

It should be noted that in addition to “outing” Hollywood celebs, Hampton says he studied at Harvard University and his current occupation is President of the United States.
