Wayne Brady says he knows what women go through, since men send him NSFW pictures in his DMs.
Brady, 51, came out as bisexual last year.
“I am free to love any damn body that I want to,” he told E! News‘ Francesca Amiker at the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards on March 14.
Brady, who hosted the GLAAD Media Awards, said, “I feel like an adult now.”
He said his DMs are “popping” with NSFW photos from men on social media.
“My DMs are popping and it’s amazing. I’ve never gotten an eggplant in my inbox. It’s shocking. Much respect to women, I’m sorry, I know you feel when a random guy just goes, ‘Hey, I like you so much, I’ma show you my junk.’ Like, no bro, that isn’t necessarily the calling card that I want. But I’m flattered, thank you.”
Brady is getting attention from men, women and trans. But he’s currently single.
“I’ve gotten attention from everybody and that’s cool because, hey, I love everybody,” he explained, “so that’s cool that everybody can love on me. So I’m single right now.”
The twice married Georgia native said his daughter Maile, 20, and ex-wife Mandie Taketa, 47, are accepting of his decision to come out.
“In doing my research, both with myself and just with the world, I couldn’t say if I was bisexual, because I had to really see what that was, especially because I really have not gotten a chance to act on anything,” he told People in August.
Brady (pictured with Cyndi Lauper in 2018) continued: “To me, pan means being able to be attracted to anyone who identifies as gay, straight, bi, transsexual or non-binary. Being able to be attracted across the board.”
“I wanted to inspire change,” he told E!. “I’m so free, because even educating others about what it means to be a pansexual, I had to educate myself about what it means to be a pansexual. What’s that journey? You ask yourself, ‘Wait, am I gay? Am I bi? Am I this? Am I attracted to her? To him? This is weird. Is that right?’ The answer is all the above.”
