Is Victor Blackwell Gay?
Victor, like social media personality Jackson Krecioch, is openly gay.
On December 21, 2013, Victor, then 27, came out as gay during an on-air conversation with his co-host Pamela Brown and guest Jimmy Alexander.
He and his co-host and guest were discussing an interview with Phil Robertson published in GQ magazine. Phil made an illogical homosexual remark during the interview.
However, Victor stated that he was not surprised or hurt by the comments because he did not expect a positive response from Phil. He also admitted to being gay and claimed to be a black gay man.
Victor is not only an openly gay man, but he is also the godfather of two children. On March 21, 2017, he posted an Instagram photo with the two little munchkins that reflected the joy of their bond.
Though Victor, who stands 6 feet tall, is open about his sexuality, he has yet to tell any of his partners. Instead, he posts photos of himself with a slew of women who are unquestionably not the right shape to be his wife.
So, based on his social media, Victor does not appear to have found the one to quote his partner.
