Who cares, maybe Newsweek should stop asking stupid questions like that. Those “scandals” are old. Kelly Ripa was bossy and arrogant towards Clay on the show, and the woman on the plane recognized him and wanted a scandal.

The interviewer knew he didn’t want to answer the first question so why ask three more stupid ones?

People would be responding differently if it was any other celeb being pestered in an article.

Good for Mr. Aiken. There is no such thing as integrity in journalism these days. All the media goes for is tabloid gossip. Mr. Aiken said he wasn’t going to answer but the interviewer persisted. He is the rude one.
This particular interviewer/writer used the same tactics with Kevin Spacey and Mr. Spacey called him on it as well.

BTW, performing on Broadway is not an indication of a person’s sexuality gay or straight. If that were the case, then Fantasia, Ruben Studdard, Frenchie Davis, Usher and the list goes on must all be gay as well. Pretty soon there will be no straight people left on this planet.

I found nothing rude or offensive in the interviewers questions. What I did find was a little boy who couldn’t handle simple questions with any common curtesy or class. Mr. Aiken was the one being rude and I’m quite embarrassed at ever having been a fan.

Clay is such a whiny baby. Grow up. Clay, this is real life. Deal with it.
