Regarding this, a high ranking rep from A's agency allegedly told Newsen, "Honestly, I don't know very well about this talk of his being gay. They're not [close enough] for him to say such private things to the agency. Even more so because that is such a personal matter." Newsen insists in its report that most of the time, an agency rep would respond with, "That's not it at all," but in this case, the rep was being very vague.
