it would be nice if you checked facts before your displayed benny’s interview as the TRUTH …
not certain if you understands it validates him & gives him credit for things he did not do
and whats more upsetting to me is that at one point in my life i looked at benny and my life long friend but he changed and reading that interview i would love to correct it lie by lie .
to start simply he was never and is not considered in the ballroom as a legend. there are kids who have perfected the art of voguing 1million times better then him , but perhaps because they are not as gracefully manipulative when they speak they get overlooked. i knew willi before him ; i am the one who brought him over to will & he would infact be rolling over in his grave right now at the things bennny has said and done… willi did not raise benny to be a megalomaniac but 15minutes of fame got to his head quite quickly.i am sorry for what seems like me venting but it really plucks my feathers to read this shit & makes me think on a bigger scale how many people in the world are given praise & accolade for things they’ve been & continue to be dishonest about. i’ll always LOVE benny but i do not LIKE him !
i only want the best for him but not the way he is going about it … this micro celebrity he’s achived is vapid , with no real rewards !
willi is the one that worked his ass off and took care of his mother & his kids including me and at the same time dealt with his HIV status . seems all benny is doing is riding coat tails until he cannot anymore & i’d genuinely like to see what he does the day that happens
