Johnny Weir and his husband Victor Voronov have called it quits after just over two years, the figure skater announced on Twitter today. “It is with great sadness that I announce that my husband and I are no longer together,” Weir wrote. “My heart hurts, and I wish him well.”
Best of luck to both of them. [Twitter] [TMZ]
Wendy Williams has apologized for a recent transphobic segment on her show, during which panelists joked about trans CrossFit athlete Chloie Jonsson‘s “jonsson,” repeatedly misgendered Chaz Bono, and described Jonsson as having “all guy muscles, and the juices” inside.
“This is an unfair advantage,” Williams added. “You can take away female or male parts or whatever — it’s like Chaz Bono! You know, Chaz is a man now, but I bet she still fights like a girl like the rest of us, and she’s not as strong as a man who was born a man.”
Unfortunately, neither the statements made by 5-foot, 11-inch Williams, nor those by “pop culture expert” Pardavila are backed up by science.
“Didn’t mean to offend when discussing transgender topic,” Williams wrote on Twitter following public outcry. “I’m a long LGBT ally &@GLAAD supporter & will use this 2b better educated on the T.”
Panelist Joe Pardavila really went all out on his apology: “I’m an idiot. Please accept my sincere and humble apologies for my comments…It was a dumb and I feel awful about, you have no idea how sick I feel over the whole thing…I’ll do whatever I can to make things right. My mother would be ashamed of me…I vow to educate myself and never say something so ignorant again.” [Advocate]
