Rumors about American Idol host Ryan Seacrest being gay have circulated for quite some time. Even though he’s been in a public relationship with Julianne Hough for the past few years, hushed whispers about Seacrest’s closeted homosexuality continue to hound him. But now, reality TV star Reza Farahan is stepping up to let everyone know those “rumors are stupid.” Farahan stars on Shahs of Sunset: a reality TV show about a group of Iranian American friends living in Beverly Hills, executive produced by Seacrest. Farahan, 38, is an openly gay real estate agent who has little tolerance for gay men still in the closet. When asked about Seacrest concealing his sexuality, Farahan told The Huffington Post that “Ryan is not gay,” adding he’s “100 percent sure.” If Farahan feels anything for Seacrest, it’s the utmost admiration as the realtor explains he finds Ryan “such an accomplished human being,” and notes that when around Seacrest, “you get caught up in what this person has done in the world rather than who he has done.” ~Brandon Bastaldo
