Well, That’s That: Aaron Hernandez’s Mother Knew About Sexuality Prior to Death

Y’all have been going back and forth about Aaron Hernandez’s sexuality for years and the conversation has been reignited since it was disussed in Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez documentary. The Netflix series features claims from Aaron’s high school teammate, Dennis SanSoucie, who said the two had a sexual relationship before going to college.

Well, during today’s appearance on ‘The Dr. Oz Show,’ Aaron’s brother, Jonathan Hernandez, recalled the NFL star telling their mother that he has had sex with men prior to him taking his life.

“He’s like, ‘Mom, you’re going die never knowing your son,'” the older Hernandez said. “Then all of a sudden they have this conversation and they’re both flooded with tears across from each other.”

While Hernandez admits that his brother carried the “weight” of being in the closet, he’s unclear if this pressure pushed him into killing Odin Lloyd.

“That’s one of the questions and, you know, head scratches that they still have regarding really this entire case,” Hernandez said when discussing his brother’s sexuality and motive behind the murder of Lloyd. “There’s just so many questions regarding everything. And, for me to sit here and say it was this or that, I can’t say. All you can do is look at the evidence that was provided.”

This conversation comes on the heels of the ex-NFL star fiancee Shayanna Jenkins speaking out on the same claims while appearing on Good Morning America.

“I wouldn’t have loved him any differently,” … “I would have understood.”

Jenkins didn’t dispute the claim — but said it’s unfair to discuss someone’s sexuality when that person isn’t around to have a say.

“Although I had a child with Aaron, I can’t tell you how he was feeling inside,” Jenkins said.

“If he did feel that way, or if he felt the urge, I wish that I was told. I wish that he would have told me because I wouldn’t have loved him any differently. I would have understood. It’s not shameful.”

She continued, “I think it’s a beautiful thing. I just wish I was able to tell him that.”
