Los Angeles- The National Enquirer writes: Amid accusations that he is secretly gay, a furious Matt LeBlanc is firing back and telling his story exclusively in The ENQUIRER.
The "Friends" star's former chauffeur and bodyguard has clamed he personally arranged Matt's gay encounters with male hustlers and even watched in his limo's rearview mirror while Matt had unprotected sex in the backseat.
In the issue that goes on sale Friday, the 37-year-old actor, star of "Joey," the season's hottest new show, comes forward exclusively to the ENQUIRER to set the record straight.
Gene sez: This morning the LeBlanc story was covered on Howard Stern..
"I have never, ever have asked to be set up with gay hustlers," Le Blanc said in response to charges that his former chauffeur provided him with gay for pay gents. Le Blanc goes on to say that he's not bisexual and not gay. "I have never had sex with men. I'm a happily married man, father of a 7 month-old daughter. I'm a stepfather of two." LeBlanc says it's not only important to set the record straight because of his life but because of his family.
Chauffeur Damian Plumleigh told his story to the Enquirer insisting that he witnessed the gay encounters. Plumleigh supposedly passed a polygraph test regarding his claims. According to Plumleigh, 43, before his marriage, LeBlanc was a wild man. "He had lots of demons when he became an overnight star on Friends- booze, drugs and lots of women. But few people know that Matt also had a secret passion for sex with gay hustlers. Sex with other guys was his ultimate, guilty pleasure."
Plumleigh claims he was there to witness the encounters. "He had me hire and pay these guys." LeBlanc, on the other hand, told the tabloid that he has no idea why Plumleigh is saying these things. "I'm on a hit show and when you're on a hit show people come out of the woodwork to create an opportunity for themselves." But LeBlanc admits that Plumleigh drove him on a few occasions. "When he says he hooked me up for gay sex, it's 100% lies." LeBlanc says it's important for him to refute the accusations because they're not true. Plumleigh supposedly provided the name of a man he claims had gay sex with LeBlanc. According to The Enquirer the guy confirmed the charges. "That man also passed the polygraph test regarding his allegations."
According to the story the man told, Plumleigh set up a meeting with Matt LeBlanc in the limo he was driving. "The three of us had been at a niteclub previously. I performed oral sex on Matt Lebanc that night. On two other occasions, once with Plumleigh giving me money afterwards. If anyone is lying here it's Matt LeBlanc. I should know."
LeBlanc told the tabloid he could write the whole episode off as the price actors pays for being famous in Hollywood. LeBlanc's publicist also refuted the gay stories as "scurrilous" and "ridiculous". The publicist, Nancy Kane, says LeBlanc couldn't be more heterosexual. "I was in the car when Damian drove Matt 98% of the time- I never recall once where Matt LeBlanc wasn't dropped off first."
According to the story Plumleigh tells, it's no secret that LeBlanc had a voracious appetite when it came to booze and drugs and sometimes had two women a night. "But he also enjoyed sex with young, hunky men. Risky or not, Matt had unprotected sex with the men- some of the guys were hustlers." Plumleigh said he would bring the men back to LeBlanc who'd be waiting in the back of the limo. "Then they'd go at it awhile while I was driving." Plumleigh said LeBlanc was so careless he didn't mind if Plumleigh would watch. "I think he liked it. Matt liked to drink and do massive amounts of drugs, pot and cocaine," says Plumleigh. "It was on these occasions when he really got smashed that he'd turn to men for sex."
Stern wondered aloud, "Have you ever been so high that you needed a guy?"
Plumleigh said he had been working for LeBlanc about six months when LeBlanc broached the subject. "He said, Damian, I know your reputation for being discreet. I also know that you're an expert at hooking up stars with drugs and sex. He told me that he sometimes liked to play around with guys. The way he put it, well, he knew he was straight, he thought at times he was bisexual and sometime had sexual needs. Basically part of my job was to find guys who would perform oral sex on Matt LeBlanc in the back of my limo. Matt liked good looking masculine guys who were in shape and roughly his age. It was usually done in a way so that Matt would not have to talk to the guys. Most of the time Matt would pretend to be passed out and the hustler's job was to perform oral sex on him."
