Shocking? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think the most shocking thing I've ever read about Lucy or Desi, I just read last night on this link:

http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/7537/gay.htm

We all know Cesar Romero was gay, but this interview reveals alot more than I think I ever wanted to know. I mean, I always knew Desi was a swinger and cheated on Lucy every chance he got, but to now read that Cesar Romero not only had a crush on Desi, but actually either performed oral sex on him or had sexual intercourse with him...Well, that's just a little more than I think I ever wanted to know. I always wondered what it was that Lucy held against Desi that time she threatened him, saying she had enough dirt against him to bury him. I guess now I know what some of that dirt actually was. What I'd like to know is, since the words in this interview actually came from Cesar Romero himself, I wonder what Lucy Arnaz and Desi Jr. thought of it, and if anyone has ever decided to print this interview in a tell all book about Lucy and Desi. Ahhh Hollywood people are so weird...I still love the legacy they left behind though

All we have is someone reporting Romero's claim on this- so it could very well be that this was something Romero wished had happened but didn't. Inasmuch as I've seen nothing but praise (without the slightest hint of embarassment) about him from Lucie Arnaz, I don't think she believes this happened- or else she'd avoid talking about him entirely!

You stated your view on that. I'm stating mine and I'm standing by it!

Hey that's ok, everyone is entitled to their own feelings on the subject. I didn't post that article, only the link to it. I suppose I was in denial when I first read it too. I didn't want to believe it, but if Cesar Romero said it, then I have no choice but to believe it, after all, HE was there. Anyway, it doesn't stop Desi from being the great entertainer/producer that he was. Whatever happens in someone's bedroom is their own business.

Never mind...I see you edited your post....

What difference does it make whether Desi cheated on Lucy for a man or a woman? I really don't understand why you consider this to be 'shocking'.

Well I just never thought of Desi as being gay that's all. I guess you are right though, cheating is cheating, but he was still the best entertainer/producer in all of television! Yes I have always considered Desi as a very underrated comedian, in fact, to this day, it's Desi who makes me laugh alot more than Lucy does!

The fact that he had sex with a man, or let the other man have sex with him does not make him gay. It was always said that Desi didn't mind sharing the women with friends, but that they had to do it elsewhere, not in the same room. Everyboy in Hollywood has done this at one time or another, they get bored, they have done it all, they are all attractive and drugged or drunk and they sometimes even do it just to advance their careers, what's shocking, we don't know the half of it!

Correction, Romero CLAIMED he was there but we have no evidence besides this claim that 'there' ever existed! You believe this claim, I don't.
In other words, I could CLAIM I had a one-time fling with the late sitcom performer Dana Plato- knowing full well that since she's dead no one could ask her if that happened but does this mean that you'd automatically believe me- especially if I only CLAIMED this in an interview that I knew wouldn't be released until after MY death? If you didn't, it wouldn't come as a total surprise to me.

Viola_Fuss · 12-22-2003, 01:54 PM

I was going to say earlier that thinking less of Desi because he MAY have carried on with a man is rather silly isn't it? Was it okay for him to whore himself around with women being married or single? A whore's a whore, and sexuality comes in MANY forms. Maybe he dabbled with Romero, but so what? Shall we go on to speculate how many kids he had with all his lady pals, and how many times he got the clap?? That happened, too no doubt. Let the dead rest.

lucyrules · 12-22-2003, 02:18 PM

WOW!!! I don't believe it! Ok here's my opinion on this

SPLAIN · 12-22-2003, 02:38 PM

Well, we wanted a lively topic! I still say if he was drunk and the Latin culture says a man gets his pleasure any way he can, so like the other person said, so what? At least he didn't do that Richard Gere gerbil bit!

In Holloywood, sexual experimenting is as common as grocery shopping is to the rest of the world.
