Josef Elizalde Denies Gay Issue

Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Teen Housemate Josef Elizalde denies accusation he is gay. The intrigue started when a video showing Josef kissing another guy on the lips leaked the internet.

"I wouldn't kiss a guy. That is kinda weird," Josef quickly replied.

The teenager clarified that the video was edited to appear that he and a guy friend kissed. The event in the video took place at a house of his friend during Christmas break last year. "We played the spin-the-bottle game," Josef began. "Sumakto sa akin yung bote, at sumakto rin sa isang friend ko. And then they dared us to take a shot of tequila with the lemon on my mouth. And after the shot he was supposed to get it from my mouth. Eh, pinuputol agad 'yung video tuwing magkadikit kami, they edited it."

Nonetheless, he said that he is not bothered by the video at all as he is secured with his sexuality.
