CBS “Confirms” Kamu Kirk’s Sexuality After His Big Brother 28 Eviction? The Truth Behind the Viral Claim

🚨 KAMU KIRK IS OUT OF THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE—AND NOW ONE OF THE WILDEST CLAIMS ABOUT HIM IS SPREADING ONLINE! 😱🔥 Following Kamu’s dramatic Week 6 eviction, posts have begun framing his post-show comments as though CBS has made some shocking announcement about his sexuality. But there is one enormous problem with that headline: there is no credible evidence that CBS has publicly “confirmed” a sexuality label for Kamu. What Kamu has addressed since leaving the house is the controversy surrounding his comments about drag, Jason De Puy, and his insistence that he wanted to maintain a particular image as an MMA fighter. His answers are now reigniting a debate that followed him throughout BB28—but speculation about someone’s sexuality should not be presented as fact.

Key Takeaways

• Kamu Kirk was eliminated from Big Brother 28 after Rick Devens used the Diamond Power of Veto to remove Dee Valladares and put Kamu on the block.
• After Angela Murray won the Block Buster, Kamu remained nominated beside Haley Thogmartin and was evicted 8-1. (EW.com)
• Kamu faced controversy earlier in BB28 over comments about drag and traditionally feminine clothing.
• During the season, he said he was still an MMA fighter with an “image to uphold,” prompting criticism from viewers and former BB players. (EW.com)
• Jason De Puy later said he felt Kamu was uncomfortable with drag and believed Kamu was threatened by his authenticity and “drag queenness.” (Us Weekly)
• Kamu finally addressed the controversy directly after his eviction.
• He said he has personal “respect and love” for Jason and that Jason should be able to dress however he wants. (EW.com)
• Kamu explained that he likewise wanted his own choice about how he dresses to be respected.
• When asked whether he would attend one of Jason’s performances as Salina EsTitties, Kamu said he wasn’t sure, but hoped to see Jason at finale night and wanted them to be friends. (EW.com)
• None of those comments amount to Kamu publicly identifying himself as gay, bisexual, straight, or another sexual orientation.
• Therefore, a headline claiming “CBS confirms Kamu Kirk’s sexuality” goes beyond what the available evidence supports.

Kamu Kirk probably expected plenty of questions after leaving the Big Brother house.

Why did his alliance collapse?

Why did he trust Rick Devens?

Why did he move away from Chuk and Haley?

How did he go from believing he might have the votes to stay to walking out on an overwhelming 8-1 eviction?

But one controversy was always going to follow him through those doors.

Jason De Puy.

And more specifically?

Kamu’s comments about drag.

🔥 The controversy began when viewers heard Kamu discussing the way other male Houseguests were dressing.

Drew Campbell had been wearing Mallory’s pajamas.

Kamu made it clear that participating in anything involving traditionally feminine clothing wasn’t something he wanted to do.

He referenced being an MMA fighter.

He talked about having an image to maintain.

And he essentially wanted to be left out of the “drag stuff.”

Those comments quickly exploded outside the house, with critics interpreting them as anti-drag or homophobic. (EW.com)

That became particularly sensitive because Kamu was sharing the BB28 house with Jason De Puy.

Jason isn’t merely another Houseguest.

He’s also the drag performer Salina EsTitties, known from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

And Jason noticed Kamu’s discomfort.

After his own eviction, Jason said he believed the concept of drag made Kamu uncomfortable. He also suggested Kamu was threatened by his authenticity and his identity as a drag performer. (Us Weekly)

So when Kamu finally left the house?

Naturally, interviewers wanted answers.

And Kamu didn’t avoid the subject.

He explained that on a personal level, he cared about Jason.

Their games didn’t align.

Their relationship inside the house became confrontational.

But Kamu insisted the game conflict shouldn’t be interpreted as personal hatred.

His basic argument was straightforward:

Jason can dress however Jason wants.

Kamu wants the same freedom.

In his post-eviction interview, he said Jason and the other Houseguests should be able to dress however they choose, while he likewise wanted to feel comfortable choosing how he dresses without pressure from anyone else. (EW.com)

That explanation will probably satisfy some fans.

Others?

Not remotely.

Because critics aren’t necessarily upset that Kamu didn’t want to wear women’s clothing.

They’re focused on the language he used when distancing himself from it—and particularly the suggestion that participating might somehow conflict with his public image as a male MMA fighter.

That’s a much more complicated conversation.

But then social media does what social media does.

The conversation moves from:

“What did Kamu mean by those comments?”

to:

“What does this tell us about Kamu personally?”

And eventually?

People start speculating about sexuality.

🚨 That’s where the line needs to be drawn.

There is currently no credible basis in the sources reviewed to say CBS has suddenly “confirmed” Kamu Kirk’s sexual orientation.

CBS airing somebody on a reality show doesn’t define their sexuality.

Kamu discussing drag doesn’t define it.

Kamu refusing to wear feminine clothing doesn’t define it.

Kamu saying he loves Jason “on a human level” doesn’t define it either.

And his relationship with another contestant wouldn’t automatically establish a label unless Kamu himself chose to publicly identify that way.

So if fans expected some enormous post-eviction revelation?

The verified interviews tell a different story.

The real revelation isn’t about Kamu’s sexuality.

It’s about how Kamu views the controversy.

And interestingly?

He doesn’t appear interested in continuing his feud with Jason.

Quite the opposite.

When Entertainment Weekly asked whether he would go watch Jason perform as Salina, Kamu didn’t commit to attending.

But he did say he hoped to see Jason at finale night.

And he wanted something surprisingly wholesome after their ugly BB conflict:

a hug and potentially a friendship. (EW.com)

That’s significant considering where these two started.

Remember the Tea Party confrontation?

Kamu publicly challenged Jason’s gameplay.

Jason believed it became personal.

The tension between them became one of the most uncomfortable interpersonal conflicts of the early season.

Jason later described Kamu’s confrontation as personal and suggested he deliberately pushed back once he felt targeted. (Men's Journal)

Then Jason left.

Weeks later?

Kamu followed him out the door.

And suddenly there are no nominations.

No Veto.

No votes.

No HOH room.

No reason for either man to keep fighting.

Kamu now says he hopes they can be friends. (EW.com)

🔥 FINALE NIGHT COULD GET INTERESTING.

Imagine Jason seeing Kamu again for the first time since leaving the house.

Kamu approaches him.

Jason doesn’t know exactly what reception to expect.

Then Kamu hugs him.

Maybe they talk.

Maybe Kamu explains his comments face-to-face rather than through an interview.

Maybe Jason tells him exactly why those comments hurt.

And perhaps both men leave understanding each other better.

Or?

Jason may decide Kamu’s explanation isn’t good enough.

That’s his choice too.

But THAT is the genuine post-Big Brother story here.

Not an unsupported claim that CBS somehow revealed Kamu’s sexuality.

The more interesting question is whether Kamu’s time outside the house—and seeing the public reaction to his comments—changes how he thinks about what happened with Jason.

Because Kamu has already acknowledged mistakes elsewhere in his game.

He admitted he should have been more suspicious of Devens.

He wishes he hadn’t worked so closely with Drew.

And he recognizes that his decisions after the Lyric vote damaged relationships that might have helped him survive. (EW.com)

Now he has another relationship to reconsider.

Jason.

And perhaps finale night will give both men an opportunity that the Big Brother house never really provided:

A conversation without strategy.

No cameras determining who gets nominated.

No alliance trying to gain power.

No Tea Party confrontation.

Just two former Houseguests talking about something that became much bigger outside the game than either may have anticipated.

So no—the available reporting does not support saying CBS has “confirmed” a shocking sexuality revelation about Kamu Kirk.

What has been confirmed is something different.

Kamu knows his comments upset people.

He has now explained what he says he meant.

He insists he respects Jason’s freedom to express himself.

And despite everything that happened between them?

Kamu says he wants to see Jason again at the Big Brother finale—and hopes they can leave their feud inside the house. (EW.com)

I can also turn this into a more sensational 1,500–2,000-word BB28 article while keeping the sexuality claim clearly framed as unverified.
