Unlikely stories that turn out to be true about celebrities.
In conjunction with the thread about false stories about celebrities, and in honour of the recently revealed truth, that Carrie Fisher/ Princess leia and Harrison Ford/Han Solo had an affair whilst filming the first ever Star wars films
Are there any other unlikely or actually denied stories out there that turned out to be true? As sometimes truth can actually be stranger than fiction. Wasn't Janet Jackson married, and no one knew about it until they actually got divorced? One of the most covered up stories for many years was of course Jodie Foster. Who is an incredible actress, and still so powerful and influential. She is now happily and openly living with her wife Alex, who she married in 2014 but she lived for years with her friend Cydney. And she had 2 children whilst in this relationship. A fact that wasn't openly acknowledged until 2007. Maybe this one is more about the attitude of the times, and acceptance of sexuality, But it is within recent history, and also a story where I can remember lots and lots of misleading and contradictory stories going around. |

The Janet Jackson marriage was really bizarre as they kept it secret for nine years. I think her pregnancy aged 50 seemed very unlikely, the story broke in May then there was nothing else reported until recently. I do hope she has a healthy pregnancy and safe birth

I think the Bruce/Caitlin Jenner story was the most shocking. I remember reading stories about Bruce "turning" into a woman and laughing as I thought it was all tongue in cheek, I never expected him to come out as being transgender.

When Charlie Brooker and Konnie Huq got together they seemed such an odd couple I assumed it was some sort of stunt for his show. |

Speaking of Charlie Brooker anyone remember his certain, infamous Pig-Gate prediction?! ![]() ![]() ![]() This was his response to it actually coming true: "I’d have been running around screaming it into traffic. It’s a complete coincidence, albeit a quite bizarre one.”

Edwina Currie's admission that she had a passionate affair with John Major came from left field. Even the tabloid press seemed caught on the hop by this one. There must have been strong rumours in close parliamentary circles though.

The above reminded me of Jordan and Gareth Gates. When he was riding high and Jordan claimed they had a fling - which he denied - I think most people assumed she was simply using him for publicity. Later, when his fifteen minutes was up, he admitted she was telling the truth. (Although I'm not entirely convinced he wasn't using her for publicity in the same way she'd used him.)

Very true! Threads on the rumours of abuse were getting shut down all across the Internet by nervous moderators giving the impression it was libellous 'fake news'. A similar thing happened with rumoured parliamentary links to abuse.

I remember reading online about the Savile sex with dead bodies stuff ten years ago. It still amazes me it took so long to be reported by the actual media.

Hughie Green being Paula Yates dad. Pretty sure it was a tabloid story before any paternity tests took place confirming it.

There are a couple of other children who only found out who their father was, many years after they were born. didn't Daisy Lowe only find out her biological father was Gavin Rossdale when she was 14? |

Not that familiar with the Daisy Lowe story but yes surely a shock.
There's been a few sports surprises of course but surely the biggest was Lance Armstrong. For years the French media in particular kept claiming he was cheating. But the American media and public put the attacks on their cancer surviving all American hero down to jealously and the sponsors stuck with him. Even one of my mates recommended reading his inspiring best selling book and I admit that I couldn't believe the stories that one of the world's top athletes could be cheating on such a scale in the modern era. Yeah, right! Biggest cheat out there!!

Yes that one was totally bizarre wasn't it. And it must have been awful for Paula to realise that she had been lied to almost all of her life.
