New Zealand’s News Host Ryan Bridge Was Accidentally Outed On-Air
New Zealand’s news host Ryan Bridge was outed by co-host on-air on The AM Show, ‘Gay Times’ report.
While on air, filling in for regular host Duncan Garner, Bridge and his co-host Mark Richardson were discussing collector’s items, when Bridge was asked if he collects anything. At that point, Richardson said “ex-boyfriends”, although Bridge was not open about his sexuality.
At that, Bridge responded: “Yes, it’s true, I’m gay. There we go, it’s out there.” He then added: “God that was awkward.”
Later in the program, he explained why he hadn’t yet come out publicly.
“If you caught what was said before, it’s not something I’ve tried to hide, it’s something my friends and family have known about for a very long time,” he said.
“The reason I haven’t chosen to share it with you at home, with listeners on my [Magic Talk Drive] radio show is just that, I don’t know, it’s just not that interesting, is it?
“It’s just my private business and my life and not something I’ve really bothered or care to share with the world, but it’s out there, so that is that.”
