Robbie Williams on why he sued tabloid over gay rumors: “If you hate me, at least hate me for the right reasons”

I’m not disrespecting anybody or getting my handbag and going, ‘Heaven forbid that people think of this disgusting thing [about] me.’ I was maligned, belittled, disrespected, hated, followed, harangued, phone-tapped… People on the payroll being told to give rumors about me, tell them where I was, people who were in the credit card companies.

And my only way of representing myself at the time was to do a book, and the book would say everything about who I was. So, I released this book as a way of going, ‘If you hate me, at least hate me for the right reasons.’ The same week that comes out, there’s a story in a newspaper about how I sucked some bloke’s d*ck by a canal.

And now the only thing about that was I’d gone to great pains to tell everybody who I was, and here was this story saying I’m actually not telling people who I am and what I was.

And that—not the fact that I’m by a canal on my knees, noshing off some bloke–I’m not bothered. The thing that pained me was, yet again, I’m telling my truth and I’m exposing myself so much, but there’s this thing representing me that isn’t true.A post shared by Robbie Williams (@robbiewilliams)Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.For more of Robbie Williams’ story and his complicated relationship to fame, see his new biopic Better Man—where he’s portrayed by a CGI chimp, by the way!—expanding to theaters nationwide on January 10.Robbie Williams is once again making headlines for his sexuality.Sign up for the Queerty newsletter to stay on top of the hottest stories in LGBTQ+ entertainment, politics, and culture.Don't forget to share:.
