Actor Christian Keyes has caused a stir and quite a bit of speculation following the release of a painful admission that he was sexually harassed by an influential Hollywood heavyweight.
Keyes recently went on Instagram for over an hour to reveal the alleged sexual harassment and assault he claimed he endured by an unnamed powerful Hollywood heavy-hitter who offered him $100,000 to sleep with him. Additionally, he acknowledged the controversy surrounding Diddy was a doozy, but men were victims, too. The 48-year-old actor also talked about the stigma and shame of coming forward with such an emotional disclosure.
โHe is claiming that he has multiple Black men on the payroll and that they had to show up when he requested them to be there,โ Christian revealed. โClearly, thatโs why it felt like it was okay for him to say these things to me. It happens. Itโs not just women that have to deal with this; it happens to men sometimes. It will be men tempting men.โ
The All The Queenโs Men star spoke about trying to forgive the unnamed man, being transparent and how being โbuilt differentโ helped him get through the sexual harassment as a starving artist.
โI was broke as fuck. I am telling you, I would have loved that 100 grand, but I wasnโt going to sell my soul.โ
Fans took to the X app to discuss the actorโs eye-opening revelation and who the offender could be. Some folks implied the actor was talking about Tyler Perry, and others opined that the mogul wasnโt the culprit. Other X app users announced they understood why Christian didnโt mention names and theyโd wait for more information outside of the revealing video.
Christianโs braveย confession comesย on the heels of Diddyโs very public sexual assault lawsuit by former May-December lover Cassie. The mogul, who also stepped down as the CEO of Revolt, settled with the 37-year-old singer one day after she dropped her bombshell.
