Ex-boxer admits he’s bisexual and lied about gay porn threesome ‘drugging’
By Micah Sulit
Ex-boxer Yusaf Mack has come clean about how he really ended up in a gay threesome porn video.
When it emerged last week that Mack was one of three men having sex in an explicit video, the father of 10 children claimed he was drugged upon arriving at the set. He also insisted that he “loves females” and only touches another man in the boxing ring.
Following lawsuit threats from porn company DawgPoundUSA, which produced the video in question, Mack has retracted his earlier statements about being drugged and admitted he was “fully conscious” on set.
Mack released this statement, originally published on Black Sports Online: “This is an issued public apology from my heart. I want to address a few situations with the first being the false claims I made about being drugged during the (DawgPound) adult film. I have never spoke negatively about the company that produced the film although the claim to have been given a drug by someone during set was a lie. I was completely aware and fully conscious during the film.
“The second situation, which further explain the first, concerns my lifestyle. I did participate in the adult film because at the time I needed money but also because I am a bisexual man. Meaning I enjoy safely being intimate with whomever I choose.
“Lastly I would like to address the reason I lied. My life was completely destroyed once it had been outed that I participated in a gay film. I selfishly tried to cover the truth and remain in denial, rather than accept the fact that I was leading a double life secretly.”
Mack’s statement included an apology to his family, including his children and ex-fiancée. “I am so sorry that I was a coward and hid a huge part of my life from you all,” he said.
