Alden Richards’s gay scandal began when online users observed that he had shared a picture of him and his lover on Instagram Stories
However, those stories were posted without mentioning his sexual orientation.
Some fans were unhappy because they believed this suggested Alden wasn’t at ease talking about his sexuality.
But some others were encouraging, saying he didn’t have to come out to the world if he didn’t want to.
Later on, those rumors died off. But in 2015, rumors started circulating online that Alden was gay or bisexual.
These rumors were based on images that showed Alden hugging a different man while they were both attendees at a function.
It was unclear whether they were holding hands or standing near one another because the photo was taken from behind.
Alden Richards has not made any statements regarding his sexual orientation in public yet.
So, assuming about someone’s private life without permission is inappropriate.
