Clive Davis, a longtime well-respected music executive who is responsible for the careers of artists such as Whitney Houston & Jennifer Hudson has come out of the closet. In his new memoir Clive admits he enjoys getting down with the ladies and the fellas!
The Scoop:
Clive Davis’ new memoir, The Soundtrack of My Life, is full of inside stories from throughout his famed career. But the biggest revelation is a personal one: For the first time, the 80-year-old record executive discusses his “bisexual life.”
Davis, who is twice divorced, remains close to his family, which includes three sons, a daughter and six grandchildren, and to friends, with whom he vacations regularly. Soundtrack’s aforementioned personal revelation acknowledges “something that my children and close friends have always known, but that I knew I would need to discuss in a biography”: He considers himself bisexual.
“After my second marriage failed, I met a man who was also grounded in music. Having only had loving relationships and sexual intimacy with women, I opened myself up to the possibility that I could have that with a male, and found that I could.”
Davis is currently involved with another man (who isn’t in show business), “but I never stopped being attracted to women. Bisexuality is misunderstood; the adage is that you’re either straight or gay or lying, but that’s not my experience. To call me anything other than bisexual would be inaccurate.” – Rolling Stone
At this day in age nothing seems to shock me anymore about anything! And I mean anyone! I commend Clive for coming clean even when he didn’t have to. I can’t help to say but I really wonder what Whitney Houston would have to say about this…..Interesting!
