Robbie Williams Gets Damages Over Gay Claims

Robbie Williams has accepted substantial libel damages from the publishers of the People Newspaper and the publishers of the Daily Star over claims that he is secretly gay.

The claims, made in the People newspaper, Star and Hot Stars Magazine in 2004, alleged that the former Take That star had engaged in casual gay sex.

MGN Ltd and Northern & Shell plc, the publishers in question, have accepted that the stories were unfounded and have agreed to pay undisclosed damage.

William’s barrister, Tom Shields QC, told the court that the singer “is not, and has never been, homosexual.”

The court heard that the People’s front page story, ‘Robbie’s secret gay lover’ insinuated that the star intended to mislead the public by claiming to be straight whilst in reality, the newspaper claimed that he engaged in gay sex with strangers.

The newspaper further claimed that the singer had enticed a stranger into a toilet in a Manchester night club where he asked the man to perform a sexual act.

The People also claimed that Williams engaged in a gay sexual act with a stranger behind the club.

Zoe Norden, solicitor for MGN and Northern & Shell, apologised on behalf of her clients: “I accept that the allegations to which my friend has referred were untrue. The defendant apologises to the claimant and expresses its regret for the injury and distress caused.”

The publishers will print apologies to the star and pay an undisclosed sum in damages in addition to Williams’ legal costs.

Robbie Williams Gay Hoax 13 December 2000


Pop star Robbie Williams hinted that he is gay in an interview, but only as a joke.

Speaking about his holiday with ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell in the French Riviera last August, the singer said: “I went on holiday with her over the summer and if you really knew what was going on there, nobody would believe me. I am gay anyway, but don`t tell anyone. All these people you hear that I`ve been sleeping with in the press are all men.”

He added: “Oh dear, sometimes I wish I didn`t say things like that.” A source confirmed, "Rob`s messing about. He`s a joker".

Williams denied that he had had an affair with Halliwell, and admitted that he had not yet found his “love supreme”.

but he is corny...

the former manager of Take That says he is

Well, he most certainly ought to be cold.
