This foreign born recently deceased celebrity was once a member of an extremely famous A+ family.
To say he was socially ambitious is an understatement. He came by it
naturally, since his mother was one of the most ruthless social climbers
of her generation. After marrying young and giving birth to our
celebrity and his sibling, their mother decided her husband was not
ambitious or rich enough — and decided to trade him in for someone with
much more wealth and social status, which she did. After marrying up,
she also had children with the new, very rich husband. Those “new’
children were always the children she presented to the world– while
consigning the older children from the first marriage to the sidelines.
(She referred to the first set of kids as “the ugly kids”.) This
celebrity’s father was a bit more caring towards his children but also
troubled. He was married multiple times, including a marriage to a woman
who was decades younger than he was. Coming from this background really
affected our celebrity- and as a result, he developed into an extremely
calculating, charming, and ambitious social climber himself. This bit
of information about his personality traits are no secret, nor is the
fact that he was bisexual. He was certainly not shy about sleeping with
whichever women (or men) that could further his ambitions, which
eventually took him to the very, very top of the societal food chain.
To say our celebrity’s love life was tangled and tragic is an
understatement. There are many, many stories about him, but some of the
lesser known stories involve the children he fathered out of wedlock.
The first child was conceived just before our celebrity married a woman,
who was at that time probably one of the most well known women in the
world. In fact, this child was born at almost the same time that the
wedding took place. What is more sad, is our celebrity would not consent
to a paternity test for nearly four decades. The child, (that point now
an adult), had heard rumors for years that the man who raised them was
not their father biologically. (A DNA test later confirmed this.) What
is even more twisted is our celebrity used to regularly visit the
child’s family home when they were growing up, and the child did not
suspect he was actually their real father until years later. The best
part of this story is the circumstance in which this child was
supposedly conceived. The pregnancy is said to have been the result of a
relationship triangle– a weekend filled with alcohol, poppers and a
liaison between our celebrity, a male friend and his compliant wife. The
best part is that the male friend (who eventually raised the
aforementioned child as their own), was due to play an important role in
the wedding of our celebrity– and was forced to cancel at the last
minute due to the impending birth of the child.
No one is really certain how many lovers (male or female) this
celebrity actually had during his lifetime, but what IS known is that he
was very popular in gay circles. He was always coy about his links to
men, but was not shy about his female conquests, of which there were
many. People who knew the celebrity back in the day claim that the real
love of his life was a beautiful girl who was from a different race. He
was said to be very much in love with this young woman, but she was
deemed completely unacceptable by his mother due to her ethnicity and
lack of wealth and social standing. Our celebrity dumped this girl
shortly before his high profile engagement was announced. She was
totally unaware (and devastated to learn) that he had been having a
secret relationship with this other very famous woman while seeing her
at the same time. Of course, eventually that high profile marriage ended
in divorce, but our celebrity’s proclivities did not. He kept a
mistress on the side for several decades. It is said that this mistress
became depressed after spending the holidays alone one year, and
subsequently committed suicide. Our celebrity did eventually get married
again, but he was not faithful to the second wife either. That marriage
came to an end after it was revealed that he’d fathered yet another
child with a different woman on the side. He apparently was never
involved with that particular child and never saw them prior to his
death. The official cause of this celebrity’s death was given as one
illness–but the rumor that has been floating around is that the real
underlying cause of death was caused by something else.
