It's not slanderous to say that you slept with somebody. Everybody who is is saying that shit needs to interrorgate their prejudices. Also, it was very off the cuff. He said it at a taping of a show where he's expected to improvise commentary. They're probably not even going to broadcast it. It was a joke. It's not a big deal. Everyone needs to calm the fuck down.

You're right. It's not slanderous to say that you slept with somebody but it is if it's not true. At the very least, it's in poor taste to cast aspersions by making that claim regardless of orientation. The damage is done. Prince probably prepping another album for release while Boy George is prepping another syringe for another hit trying to catch another high instead of hit song.

What damage?

Uh, okay. These kind of responses make me wonder why I'm still here. Prince, at one time, for many of us, represented those who didn't fit in quite right, those who were different, those who rejected the status quo... Those still here after all these years remember this and still celibrate those differences...in Princes's music, whether new or old. He's still a round peg that doesn't fit into a square hole. And, even if some of the latest music doesn't interest me, his classic music always does and so does he.

Why would anyone care if he is gay or not unless they had some problem with people being gay?

Christ, he was singing about this in 1981 and we're still here

So if I'm a female and I corrected someone who publically stated that I was really a male, would that make me sexist?

Dumb logic.

what are you blabbing about? If Prince wants to make a statement 'correcting' this claim that Boy George didn't make, he can go ahead.

Did you even read the article? He said it as a joke - oneupmanship after one of the other judges said "I worked with Prince", so he said "oh yeah! Well I SLEPT with him". Blame the Daily Mail (who are a worthless right-wing shit-rag) for making it a headline, not Boy George for making an OBVIOUS joke.

I did read the article. It's interesting that he said his claim was a joke after talking to the show's producers. It's a cop out. Say something controversial and then once there's backlash, say it's a joke. Even if it was a joke, still think Boy George is a punk.

Really, how hard is it to believe that this might actually be true?Who the hell knows?Prince isn't exactly the epitome of a straight-laced heterosexual man.He has chosen of his own free will to do things that make his audience view him as effeminate.I don't know if Boy George was telling the truth or a lie. Truth is, he was quite serious until his producers forced him to say he was joking. Most likely due to fear of a lawsuit.

As if Prince hasn't sucked a few dicks in his time, and everybody don't know it. WHAT-EVER!

what did you write??


"A thief" always thinks that everyone else are stealing too..

Just because you are gay JudasLChrist.. this doesn't mean Prince is gay as well..

Of course Prince is straight, and always has been straight, but IF... in case Prince really was gay (like you claim), I see nothing wrong with that.. Freddie Mercury, Elton John, George Michael... and Boy George as well.... those guys are wonderful, and I don't mind they are gay at all..

Gentlemen, let's broaden our minds....

Yep,, his attitude is why people would refer to him as a faggot..The wasy he acts and talks will drive that..saying , as if he hasnt sucked a few dicks is asking fro a beatdown

I don't blame Boy George, he said a joke and so what...?

If it is, then hell, I slept with Prince too...for YEARS! And I've even made that joke myself. The DIFFERENCE is I'm not an openly gay, sometimes controversial celebrity that just dropped that "joke" and left it dangling for a minute, in front of thousands of people, while being recorded for television-- only clariying that it was a joke AFTER having a talk with the show's producers.

I'm not concerned about it being true because we all know Prince is king when it comes to Non-Disclosure Agreements. People we KNOW have slept with Prince-- do not talk about it!

There is no damage done. He said as a joke. The damage come from people's homophobic response.

Also, Boy George is quite productive. He's had drug problems, but lots of creative people do, including people on the org. You should watch what you say.

Some of you are so fucking clueless. You do not see how the media is using this headline to sell papers!!! In America for a black artist this is the kiss of death. Right now Prince could be putting a cd together and preparing to tour and now he has to deal with this matter. If he denies it he will be accused of being a homophobe and if does not say anything people will think it is true and this is a problem if his true because it would be his personal business. If it is not true it is Boy George getting away with defaming someone in the media. Wrong on all levels.

No-one is going to call Prince a homophobe if he chooses to respond to what Boy George didn't say. There are times when Prince actually has been homophobic, and no-on on the org worried about how it would affect his record sales, though.

Also, I don't think anyone would be surprised to lear that Prince had touched a few dicks in his time.

Also, saying that you had sex with someone is not defaming them.

I don't think Black America is as homophobic as you are saying, but if they even if that was true it is definitely not any LGBT person's responsibility to consider that when they open their mouths and talk about anything. Homophobia is the problem of homophobes.

One more time, stating publicly that you've had sex with someone you haven't had sex with it is not okay. Stop defending this type of behaviour just because Boy George is a gay man.

he can dream cant he?

Exactly. This is what I was trying to say. Boy George gets to wipe his hands of it and go about his business. Prince at the end of the day, through no fault of his own has to deal with the fall out. if you are gay-cool. But to imply even as a joke that a straight person could be gay, then backtracking after producers' talk to you and the tv audience accept that claim as truth is still irresponsible.

I'm defending George because I think he wouldn't be getting all this venom and shit if he wasn't gay. That is a fact.

You are right with that statement, but it still doesn't make it a right thing to do.

I can't claim to be able to know exactly what's taking place in most people's thoughts when they read the headlines. The truth is though that both men, Boy George and Prince, have had to deal with homophobia in their lives. George as a gay man and Prince as, well, "a borderline drag queen", as he was once described by one of his critics. What makes George's comment really reprehensible (to me personally) is how he ultimately just flatters the ignorance of the people that dislike both of those guys. He should know that homophobic people are not going to bother trying to understand the sarcasm and are just going to run with his statement as such. He was not a featured guest on a raunchy comedy show like South Park, where everything is a joke and you know it, he was on The Voice, which has an entirely different audience base and purpose as a TV program.

You are also right about the bit most likely not getting aired being one reason that George shouldn't have to deal with any legal repercussions. I think he should just play fair and issue a further statement on it in some form at least.

whats with all the defending prince or boy george? its silly comment

Prince once recorded a song called "Bob George" I always wondered if that title was some kind of insult(?) against Boy George.

Reading'Bob George' lyrics makes Orange Juice Jones 'Walking in the rain' sounds like a song off of Sesame Street. Bob George definitely is a bitter man song but can't link with Boy George. [Edited 10/31/15 1:00am]

"Bob George" is about 's ex manager Robert Cavallo! Who was apart of his management team that he dumped @ the time. Who turned around and sued him...

What I've found unintentionally funny is how the sites for trash magazines mention things like Prince's album sales figures and him winning an Oscar in the articles on this incident. You get the impression the writers are perfectly aware that the readers don't even know who Prince is or don't think he's relevant at all anymore. "Who cares" seemed to be a pretty common response when the article was still on Yahoo.

I just read about his "feud" with Madonna. Boy George has made dissing other artists his new livelihood. If Eminem would have bottomed out before the "Recovery" album and freestyles his raps in a drug induced state with no money, he would sound like Boy George. His thoughts on Madonna and Prince is like a homeless bug burgularizing the home, then having the audacity to criticize the furniture.

The Voice U.k. Representative Plays Down Boy George's Prince Joke

Picture:

The Culture Club star hit headlines on Friday (30Oct15) after allegedly stunning his fellow judges and the studio audience with the racy admission during a recent taping of the hit show.

The comment was made as the 54 year old and fellow panellists Paloma Faith, will.i.am and Ricky Wilson chatted about the most famous people they had collaborated with.

Boy George said, "I have duetted with some of the greatest soul singers in history including Luther Vandross and Smokey Robinson", with Paloma responding, "Well OK, if we're throwing big soul names out there, I've performed with Prince."

Chuckling, the openly gay pop veteran shot back, "Forget that, darling, I've slept with Prince!"

Tabloid reports suggested the bombshell admission prompted crew members to halt filming and race to the singer to discuss his comments.

"Production staff had to come up on stage and speak to them," an onset source told The Sun. "After that, Boy George started backtracking, saying he hadn't really slept with Prince and that in reality, he just had his poster on his wall. But as far as the crowd were (sic) concerned the cat was already out of the bag."

Now a spokesperson for The Voice U.K. has moved to clear up the claims, defending Boy George's cheeky chatter as just a joke.

"He just went, 'Oh darling, I've slept with him,'" the rep tells People.com. "He went on to say that he had Prince posters on his wall as a kid. He was never being serious."

The publicist goes on to insist filming was never delayed, as widely reported, adding, "(The) whole drama of the show coming to a halt didn't happen at all."

U.K. fans will have to wait until January (16) to view the drama for themselves.

Boy George recently replaced Sir Tom Jones on The Voice.

A spokesperson for Prince has yet to comment on the controversy.

Don't try to move the goalpost now. You are implying that anybody who criticized Boy George's irresponsible statement is doing so because he's gay and I gave an example of how dumb that logic is....GTFOOHWTBS.

A person is either telling the truth or they are not, regardless of their orientation....period, end of.

Don't pretend to be ignorant of the multitude of threads about the many females that Prince may or may not have slept with....stop acting brand new.
