Shayanna Jenkins-Hernandez, the fiancee of the late NFL player Aaron Hernandez, who was convicted of murdering Odin Lloyd in 2013 and killed himself in his prison cell in 2017, writes about rumors he was gay<\/a> in the foreword to a new book written by defense attorney Jose Baez.<\/p>\n Wrote Jenkins-Hernandez, via the Boston Herald<\/em><\/a>: \u201cThere has been much speculation about Aaron\u2019s sexuality since his death. I can say this: Aaron was very much a man<\/a> to me. I saw no indication that he was gay<\/a> or homosexual.\u00a0I wish I had known how he felt, just so we could have talked about it. I wouldn\u2019t have disowned him. I would have been supportive.\u00a0I can\u2019t fault him if he was feeling that way. When you love someone so much you just want to be there to support them. The fact that he felt he couldn\u2019t come out to me or he couldn\u2019t tell me these things hurts, because we had that bond. I\u2019ve accepted that he may have been the way he was said to be, or that it may not be true. Regardless, I won\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n In an Oxygen network special which aired in March,\u00a0Aaron Hernandez Uncovered, <\/em>defense attorney George Leontire said the former NFL player was tortured over the fact he was gay<\/a>,<\/p>\n Said Leontire:\u00a0\u201cAaron and I talked about his sexuality. This man<\/a> clearly was gay<\/a>.\u00a0[He] acknowledged it. Acknowledged the immense pain that it caused him\u2026I think that he also came out of a culture that was so negative about gay<\/a> people that he exhibited some self-hatred.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Fiancee: Aaron Hernandez \u2018Was Very Much a Man to Me.
