Yusuf Mack says that he was living a lie. The former pro boxer from Philly has admitted to being gay after after his porn video featuring an all-male threesome went viral.
Mack originally claimed that he was drugged and forced to participate in an all-male threesome while in New York. He said that he loved women and would never consent to gay sex while sober.
However, he changed his story after porn company DawgPound USA threatened to sue him for attempting to disparage the company’s name. Mack later revealed that he was bisexual.
But now Mack, 35, says that he’s gay and lived a homosexual lifestyle for nearly a decade. During an interview with Fox 29 in Philadelphia, Mack said that he knew he was gay eight years ago, but he he had to hide his true feelings.
He has fathered 10 children and was engaged to be married before the porn video went viral. Mack said that he was aware that he was filming an all-male threesome, but he didn’t think that anyone from his hometown would see it.
He decided to participate in the film after he was having trouble paying bills and needed money. Mack says that he received $4,500 for the sex scene.
Since the film was released, Mack had had issues with his family. His older daughter, 23, allegedly told him to “kill himself” because he brought embarrassment to their family.
But Mack says that he’s no longer ashamed of being gay and hopes to write a book about his ordeal.
