[...] say marrying into Tennessee’s storied and infamous Ford political dynasty requires a certain optimism and [...]
I hear that she is just his BEARD. One of my unbiased friends in Memphis reports that Jr. has his boyfriend, stay at the Madison whenever they come to town as to not arouse suspicion. Apparently, boyfriend is a Jewish brown-haired investment banker who works for Goldman Sachs in NYC.
At the prodding of his publicist, Ford decided to walk down the aisle AT THE LAST MINUTE. He and Ms. Threlkeld made a verbal agreement (verbal contract) to go through with this bogus marriage because he knew he couldn’t get elected to governor if the GAY rumors persisted. It was a last minute decision based on their verbal agreement and the nudging of his publicist to quell the gay rumors. EMILY WAS BROUGHT IN AS HIS BEARD. Ford stated that he and Ms. Threlkeld didn’t become close until AFTER the election. Yet in May 2006 he was on a couple of news shows, including Imus, stating he had an important announcement to make after the Senate election (assuming he would win). Who was this woman that he allegedly was going to marry if he and Emily didn’t grow close until AFTER the election in November 2006? If he didn’t fall in love until AFTER the election why did he make the announcement on Imus and another cable show that he would announce his nuptials AFTER the election was over with. Maybe his mind wasn’t made up about her yet. Also, Ford has been seen with MANY other women during the time he and Emily supposedly were dating during the last 2 and 1/2 years. So maybe they have an open relationship. I wonder if this openess will continue when they’re married. There are rumors there may already be a couple of side flings in other states. It seems that Ford has found a doormat to walk all over.
Ford very much wants to run for Governor of Tennessee. However, rumor mill says that he will have some stiff competition when Frist throws his hat into the ring……..soon.
What is your source on this? Is the “rumor mill” saying it or is that just the voices in your head?
Kface, Emily is a beard, but she is white, and ford should fire his publicist. Because he needs a black beard to even win dog catcher in the TN or in America for that matter. Even if he divorces her the stigma of him marrying a white woman will follow him in any election. His political career is over.
Ah u gotta love the gay rumors. I dont know about Junior but his two uncles are probably gonna have some gay feelings here pretty soon. Anyway the most famous gay rumor of a Tennessee celeb that I heard was that Kenny Chesney hooked up with a stock boy at Food Lion in Fairview a few years ago.
I don’t know about the gay rumors but…..he is an equal opportunity dater and has slept with them all. I talk to his cousin and the family is kind of split on the marriage. His penis is very small and when he has been drinking you can forget about it. but he will probably be like his parents and be married in name only in a few years. Ford, sr. is a player for life and he idolizes his daddy.
He just wants her money!
If Harold is gay, he might as well come out of the closet so that he can be happy. His marrige has ruined his political career.
He should hook up with Obama. Obama’s boyfriend, Donald Young was murdered.
the gay rumors are so silly. you all have no idea. he loves girls and he loves her.
[...] like Nina Ricci. A business manager and also a graduate of the University of Miami. She is also the stepdaughter of the a former chairman of the financial giant, Morgan Stanley. Yet we see her referred to above as a “White bimbo”. [...]
I knew Harold Ford Jr in the Late 90’s and can ASSURE from personal experience that HE IS NOT GAY!!!
That’s weird, I thought they got married a year or so ago. Maybe I’m remembering the engagement announcement.
We can all hope and pray!
I agree with sledge if he is bisexual or gay he should come out of the closet since he is not running for Governor. If he really has a boyfriend that he is in love with why is he against gay marriage? He should marry his boyfriend (if he has one) and run for mayor of San Fran. His career in TN is probably over because he married a white girl and so he might as well be happy and marry his boyfriend, if he has one. Also if Kface’s story is correct why hasn’t any old gay boyfriends come out to tell their story since it is clearly hypocritical for him to be anti-gay, which is hurting the gay community.
He’s NOT running for Governor, Kface! And neither is Bill Frist! Do you read a newspaper? Do you read at all?
Good God, the crazies are out in force today after their day of teabagging.
This is pretty outrageous, even for the right wing tin foil mad-hatters. You’re right, spaz; the crazy juice is still flowing from yesterday.
It’s pretty well-known that he’s been with both genders. I could go into specifics but what’s the point.
Either way, gay or bi, small dick or medium, he’s hot.
She is most lightly a gay herself. They are covering for each other. She looks rather homely.
