As with many things in life, everybody and their mama had something to say about YouTube sensation Antoine Dodson’s announcement that he and his girlfriend are expecting their first child together. While an upcoming birth is generally a celebrated occasion, many still aren’t convinced that the once openly gay Internet personality is now interested in women. During a recent interview with HipHollywood, the 27-year-old Internet star opened up about the backlash he has received regarding his announcement and his current relationship. Check out some highlights from his interview below.
On finding out his girlfriend was pregnant:
“We took the test at night and she bammed on the wall because the bedroom was connected to the bathroom. I knew when she bammed on the wall the way that she did that something wasn’t right. So I went in the bathroom and she was like, “Look at the test.’ I looked at the test like, ‘Aw, it’s okay. We’re not pregnant.’ Then I looked closely and I was like, ‘Wow, that’s two lines.’ So we took another pregnancy test to make sure and it was positive.”
On who his mystery girlfriend being a longtime friend:
“She’s taken my attention away from all of that other stuff I had going on. We both have crazy stories to tell. We have fun together. We love each other. I love her and now she’s having my baby. This is my first child ever. I’m pretty excited about that, but I’m still numb because I can’t believe this.”
On baby names:
“If I have a guy kid, he’s going to be a junior. If I have a girl, I think we’re going to have something like ‘Honesty’ involved. My family’s DNA has very strong genes. 9 times out of 10, it’s going to be a guy that looks like me.”
On backlash over his sexuality:
“Everybody is turning against me. At first when I was growing up, everybody said ‘you need to read the bible, you need to know that God is against that’. And then when you actually say ‘I’ve changed and I’m on the right path, I’m straight,’ they still have a problem with it. You can’t make people happy, you can’t satisfy everyone. Oh well, people make their comments. I’m cool, I have pretty tough skin.”
On marrying his girlfriend:
“How do you know we aren’t married now. I don’t really want to talk about that because I don’t have her permission. Obviously you’re going to meet her one day and we are going to be able to tell you everything you need to know. But right now we kind of secretive.”
