In a recent interview with Katie Couric, legendary musician Rod Stewart finally addressed one of the most enduring urban myths in pop music history.
The claim that he had his stomach pumped to remove semen after servicing a group of sailors orally has circulated for decades, spreading like wildfire across schoolyards and gossip columns.
Now, Stewart is debunking the story once and for all.
During the interview, Couric proved her willingness to ask anything by broaching this sensitive topic.
Stewart, known for his candidness, revealed that the story was entirely fabricated.
He asserted his heterosexuality, leaving no room for doubt.
It turns out that a former publicist concocted the tale as an act of revenge against the rock star.
Stewart also delved into this matter in his newly released autobiography, “Rod: The Autobiography,” from which an excerpt was published by the Daily Beast.
In it, he recounts an incident where he asked his publicist to share a hotel room with his wife's young son due to the hotel being overbooked.
However, the publicist's night out took an unfortunate turn when he met someone at a bar and brought them back to the room.
This incident led to Stewart dismissing the publicist the following day.
As an act of vengeance, the now-deceased publicist decided to feed the press a scandalous story.
According to Stewart's account, the publicist claimed that he had engaged in oral activities with a gang of sailors in a gay bar in San Diego.
The story further alleged that Stewart had to be rushed to the emergency room to have his stomach pumped.
Stewart vehemently denies these claims, stating that he has never engaged in such activities nor required his stomach to be pumped of any kind of semen.
With this revelation, the spotlight now shifts to another celebrity plagued by an infamous urban myth.
It is time for Richard Gere to set the record straight on his own alleged emergency room incident.
