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

By WENN

Boy George

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.

PLEASE! close this thread. PRONTO!!



I think most people realize Boy George was being cheeky, as the Brits say. The thing is, this whole trend of D-listers spewing bs in a desperate attempt to become relevant again his getting very tiresome.

This guy's last gig was cleaning toilets on the prison chain gang. He's another has been trying to get a come-up with a lame attempt at manufacturing a controversy. Media needs to stop enabling these losers.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

This drama is beyond silly and really brings out the homophobes...

He said it as a joke! Plain and simple... in the context of what happened it was nothing but a laugh and a bit of fun. It's the media and the people getting bent out of shape that are looking foolish.

....and very disappointed with Jill Jones.

Rep For The Voice Says Boy George's Prince Claims Were Just A Joke

A rep for BBC talent series ‘The Voice’ has said that judge Boy George was just joking when he claimed he had slept with Prince during a live taping of the show. George’s comments have been making headlines worldwide with many taking them pretty seriously, but it seems some people just aren’t getting the singer’s sense of humour yet.

Boy GeorgeBoy George was just joking when he claimed he’d slept with Prince.

Speaking to People, a rep for ‘The Voice’ said the whole thing was just "a joke" by the Culture Club frontman which has been taking out of context. "He just went, 'Oh darling, I've slept with him,'" the spokesperson said. "He went on to say that he had Prince posters on his wall as a kid. He was never being serious.”

More: Boy George Sensationally ...ith Prince

Some reports had claimed that George’s sensational comments had caused recording of the episode to be halted, something which ‘The Voice’ rep has denied. “The whole drama of the show coming to a halt didn't happen at all,” the spokesperson added.

At the time George is reported to have been discussing his past celebrity collaborations with fellow judge Paloma Faith, saying “I have duetted with some of the greatest soul singers in history including Luther Vandross and Smokey Robinson.”

Faith then replied, “Well OK, if we’re throwing big soul names out there I’ve performed with Prince.” George then quipped, “Forget that, darling, I’ve slept with Prince.” The audience in attendance is then said to have gone wild, thinking that George just dropped a major celebrity bombshell.

A source told The Sun that George then high-fived fellow judge Will.I. Am before production staff stepped in. “Production staff had to come up on stage and speak to them. 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 concerned the cat was already out of the bag,” the source added.

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.


If an attractive woman made the same joke I'm sure nobody would care. This issue clearly has SOMETHING to do with the fact that Boy George is talking about GAY sex.

i have a hard time believing that boy george and that woman were having a back and forth, and in the middle of it, boy george thinks to himself, 'what luck! A chance to get some media attention by saying something scandalous about a more popular figure!', and then says his joke.

The Daily Mail are definitely the people who are making a scandal out of this non-event.

It's an increasingly popular tactic amongst D-listers these days. Everything is staged and scripted to manufacture drama. Only chumps still fall for it.

When Prince did his Pfunk song to the PFU collective he said "The only reason you say my name is to get your 15 seconds of fame."

It's not a scandal....it's a stunt, period, end of.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

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


What is babbig?

a typo, thanks for picking up on it

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.


Your example made no sense both because Prince hasn't publicly corrected Boy George and because questioning someones sexuality and questioning someones gender are different things.



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. rolleyes



Hey listen, i'm as sure as anyone else that Boy George wasn't telling the truth. If this is just about being factually correct then lets leave it be, we're in agreement.

My goodness... Do we really need a 7 page discussion about a joke making a joke? Even if it were true, who'd even care? Many (pop) artists are either gay or bisexual. Jagger, Bowie, Mercury are just the first who come to mind.

No doubt. The same weak ass tactic is even used here on the org. U can't get any responses to your post so what is the best thing 2 do? Drop someone's name seeking a response 2 get attention.

Yeah, well Prince isn't gay or bisexual, and never have he claimed to be, it's others that have put out that assumption of him. Before this, no man has claimed to have slept with Prince, at least not any that I've heard of. Prince has made it well known that he loves women, and never have he even hinted at loving men in any sense.

Um... Prince stole my X's boyfriend in the late 70s (maybe 1980 even), and he used to hang out in gay bars in Minneapolis and pick up guys. Also, I was friends with his assistant during the gold/come era, and he was gay. Prince used to flirt with him and his boyfriend at paisley parties and such. Prince also absolutely has hinted about sleeping with guys in his songs on occassion.

It's almost as if certain people want to speak into existence that Prince is gay to satisfy their delusional fantasies. Some people just aren't happy until they can smudge someone's character.

Excuse me, but everything I said is true, and none of it 'smudges' Prince's character. That's your own prejudice.
