'Dancing With The Stars' Crowns A New Champion
"I definitely respect and understand people's curiosity, but people, they have to trust me when I speak on my truth...If I say to you, 'I don't have an open marriage,' 'No, we're not gay,' and you don't trust that, well then there's nothing that I really have to say to anybody about anything, because at the end of the day, I'm living my life, and I'm happy."

It's a shame that this rumor, true or false, causes these 2 people so much distress. But if the majority of African-Americans weren't so bigoted against Gays & Lesbians, these two could either be openly gay if they are, or not have to worry about their homphobic fans turning against them because of a rumor. Maybe many black people will finally face their terrible prejudices against Gay people because of the problems these 2 famous stars are having right now.

First if she does not have an open marriage then maybe they should not have told foreign press they did and they did just google it and second she tried to stick her nose in Chris Brown's business and now others are sticking their nose in hers! Sometimes it just pays to keep your comments and your sex life to yourself!

I think Will and Jada have lived a good example before the general public, especially in Hollywood. I believe they have developed mutual respect for each other, that they love each other and that they love their children. Wow! where does all this stuff come from? You pick a couple that has no apparent drama and try to put some on them. Why cannot everybody mind their own business. These guys have made millions and they are two of the most level headed people in Hollywood. I do not believe in scientology, because Jesus is Lord of All. I think this is where Jada and Will went wrong. Who knows this may be the Lord's way of getting their attention, the rumors and all. What is wrong with folks when they get some money. They forget about Jesus, the one who made them. Look, life is temporary (here on earth) and people need to make up in their minds where they will spend eternity. I am all for Jada homeschooling, just put Jesus in it and he will help you through all the vicious, jealous people that want to hurt you with their words. Will and Jada need to pray to the Lord Jesus for strength and guidance. I am praying for them.

I'd be more curious about whether or not they're involved in that goofy, pseudo-religion, scientology, than whether or not they're gay or have an open relationship.

Our culture is so pathetically voyeuristic and miserable that an alarming number of us seem obsessed with forcing our warped curiosity on others. Anyone obsessed with this beautiful couples sex life needs a psychiatrist themselves.

Why would anyone care what they do with their private lives? If it is true that is their business, but in Hollywood there is always three rumors about stars. They are broke, they are hooked on drugs or they are gay. It is so stupid that anyone would waste time entertaining these rumors. They seem like down to earth people that are real. They seem happy and have great kids. Why don't we leave them alone.

People just want to keep nit-picking and trying to create something that doesn't even exist to make something more hype-worthy. Well, stubborn people don't end up with many answers because they're so caught up in delusions.

I don't care what they say. They have an open marriage and they both mess around with same sex people. It's true. They are just trying to do early damage control on the rumor because it's about to come out with proof. I know it's true cuz I know someone who's hooked up with him more than once. Nobody would care what they are if they just told the truth. Folks would still love them.

First of all It shouldn't matter if they are gay or have an open relationship. It's there life, The only thing that should matters that both of them do their jobs and does it well.
