Socialites, get into all of this! On the latest Instagram Live series, “Let’s Go Live! w/ Sharon Carpenter,” model Tyson Beckford dug into his past relationship with Kim Kardashian and their little social media spat they had a couple of years ago.
During the Live, Beckford recalled their social media spat where he claims Kim Kardashian insinuated he was gay. As the Daily News notes, during the summer of 2018, a screenshot of comments Beckford made on a friend’s post about Kardashian’s alleged plastic surgery went viral. At the time, she clapped back at him, writing “Sis, we all know why you don’t care for it.” The message was accompanied by the tea, frog, and painting nails emoji. In response, Beckford said, “Train 5-6 days a wk, weights Martial Arts and Firearms and I defend those who can’t defend themselves!” he wrote. “I support LGBTQ, even though I’m not gay. It’s just the Human thing to do.”
While speaking about that incident, Beckford reiterated he is not gay and claimed that Kardashian knows firsthand about that since they allegedly dated before: “[Kim] forgot that we had hung out a few times and we do know each other via Paris Hilton and also my boy Scott Storch, when he was dating Paris,” Beckford revealed. We met in Miami years ago when she was having her little issue with one of the boyfriends,” he dished. “It was weird, it didn’t need to go that far but she took it there,” Beckford continued about the online drama. “But before I could even say anything, the gay community stepped up and was like, ‘Oh no girlfriend. You’re not going to mess with one of our ambassadors who looks out for us and is always a guardian for us.’ He added, “It was so weird that she called me gay, because I was like ‘Sweetheart, you must have forgot. It ain’t that way,’”
Speaking about his relationship with the reality star, he went on to share, “I think we dated for a weekend actually,” the 50-year-old recalled. “It was for a weekend and her mom even invited me over to the house because I once did a show called ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. It was when Bruce [Jenner] was Bruce.”
“They invited me to the house for dinner and stuff like that but some people forget things,” Beckford quipped, adding that he had no beef with her at all and even wished her all the best. Before concluding he added, “They’re going through some hard times right now,” he said in reference to Kardashian’s divorce to estranged husband Kanye West. “My whole energy is positive.”
