It seems the drama for B2K members wonât end. This time, a bogus press release was issue on behalf of R&B singer Omarion, which falsely accuses the singer of being a âbisexual man.â
âI pride myself in being an honest, God Fearing, respectful man. I have kept my personal life private and wanted to keep it that way. Unfortunately, otherâs are interested in profiting from my anguish; so before they can do that, i will clarify things. I am not at all what certain ex-band members are trying to paint me as, I am however a respectable, mature, proud, bisexual man.â
Omarionâs team quickly fired back, via Vibe.com, calling the statement a ânegative publicity act of an unknown person.”
âThe previously released statement regarding Omarion is false and was generated for negative publicity by an unknown person. Omarion will not contribute to anything negative said or done against him. Omarion respects all of his fans, no matter religion, sexuality, or race.â
âThe Purple Agency (TPA) is his agency of record. No statement should be cited, confirmed or released on behalf of Omarion unless it comes from TPA. Please note Omarion is away in Japan working and is totally unaware of the previous statement/press release.â
The âIceboxâ hitmaker also took to twitter to fire back at the false claim.

It’s not often a celebrity has to address rumors of their sexuality, but that’s exactly what Omarion had to do recently. After being the subject of a bogus press release claiming he is bisexual and in an open relationship with his girlfriend Apryl Jones, the R&B singer took to social media to set the record straight. In this article we will explore Omarion’s response and take a look at why it matters for other celebrities facing similar situations.
Rumors about one’s personal life can be difficult for anyone to handle, let alone when you’re a high-profile entertainer like Omarion who is constantly under public scrutiny. While some stars may choose to ignore these types of stories, as they are usually unfounded anyway, Omarion wanted to make sure fans were aware that any claims made were false. He quickly hopped on Twitter and Instagram to slam the reports and clarify his current romantic situation.
Omarion spoke directly to his followers saying he was “in no shape or form experimenting with my sexuality nor am I having an open relationship,” adding that “I love wholeheartedly Apryl Jones.” Just like that, he shut down any speculation while also showing appreciation for his significant other – something many people appreciated seeing him do so publicly. Let’s take a closer look now at how important moments like this can be for celebrities’ reputation management moving forward.
Omarion’s Statement
Omarion has released a statement in response to reports that he had come out as bisexual. The singer strongly denied the false rumors, explaining how they were started and addressed any confusion or hurt feelings from his fans.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Omarion said: “I’m not sure where this story originated from but I would like to set the record straight. I am not now nor have I ever identified as bisexual.” He added that there was never a press release issued by him or anyone associated with him about such a topic, making it clear that the information was fabricated and spread maliciously online.
The singer also acknowledged any distress caused to those who may have believed the false rumors: “It is unfortunate that we live in a society where people are so quick to believe what they read without doing their own research…I stand firm in my truth and ask for understanding and respect from all of you during these times.”
Origin Of The Story
The origin of the false rumors can be traced back to an article published on a gossip blog. The website in question had taken information from a press release that was never issued by Omarion or anyone associated with him, and used it to create a story about his purported bisexuality. This malicious act resulted in confusion among fans and sparked widespread discussion online.
It is unclear why the site felt compelled to make such unfounded claims about Omarion’s sexuality, but it appears to have been done for attention-seeking purposes. It also serves as another reminder of how easy it is for false stories to spread quickly on social media platforms and other outlets that lack journalistic integrity.
Given how these types of fabricated stories can cause harm both personally and professionally, they should not be taken lightly or given any credence without first verifying their accuracy. Whether this particular incident involved one person or many, it underscores the importance of carefully considering all sides before making conclusions.
Conclusion
I, Omarion, am here to set the record straight. I want to make it clear that these rumors about me being bisexual are false and have no basis in reality. It is unfortunate that something like this was started without any truth behind it.
It all began with a bogus press release which claimed that I had come out as bisexual. This was completely fabricated and has caused an unnecessary stir on social media. My fans have been supportive but many of them were confused by the news. I understand why they would be taken aback by such a thing when there’s nothing true about it at all.
To put everyone’s mind at ease, let me just say again: These rumors are not true and have never been true! Thank you for your ongoing support throughout this ordeal; it means everything to me.
