8. Denzel was homophobic to Will in Cycle 21.
Finally we’re at Cycle 21, (at this point men were also allowed to enter the competition). Of course, at least one fragile man was going to be out in full force, trying to prove their manliness. Contestant Denzel criticized fellow contestant Will for being a “feminine, homosexual man” who didn’t belong in the competition. “I want a dude to win, but I don’t want it to be Will. People are always shedding a negative light on male models, saying we’re homosexual. I would like to see a man break that stigma.” Nice attempt at pretending to be woke, honey. Using the word “stigma” isn’t fooling anyone. He then made himself sound even more stupid, saying “if you’re gay then at least be a man about it, like, ain’t no f****** way a man should wear heels. Did I come here to be beaten by a dude who wears heels?” When Will overheard this homophobic rant and clearly became upset, Denzel said that he would only sort things out with Will “if he would be a man about it, but he wants to be a female about it.” Jokes on you Denzel, Will went on to go way further than you did in the competition.
