E-mail accuses actor from a 'black sitcom' of deliberately spreading HIV to his sexual partners.
Wedon't know anything about the piece reproduced above, which claimed that an unnamed actor from a 'popular black sitcom' was deliberately spreading HIV to his sexual partners, other than that it apparently started out as an on-line 'blind' gossip article to which other people added clues in an effort to guess the identity of the unnamed actor. One particular guess has stuck, and the name of that actor (Darius McCrary from the sitcom Family Matters) has now been appended to the article.We do not know whether the story related in the text of the article is an accurate description of real-life events (involving Darius McCrary or anyone else). AOL Black Voices Columnist Jawn Murray contacted Darius McCrary, reporting that the actor said the e-mail was not true and that he thought he knew (but would not disclose) who had started it:McCrary has a good idea of who started the false chain mail about him. 'I don't want to give the person too much energy who did it, but it's definitely a bunch of bull. It's totally not true,' McCrary told me via cell phone from Los Angeles. The actor couldn't imagine how someone could be cruel enough to fabricate such an e-mail and doesn't believe he's ever done anything to warrant such backlash. 'Only thing I am guilty of is loving ladies! And maybe loving them too good,' offered the Walnut, Calif. native. McCrary did tell me that the exasperated ex wasn't his ex-wife, a Las Vegas showgirl named Juliette whom he wed last December and was married to for five weeks. The 'Something to Sing About' star said he and Juliette have a great relationship despite being divorced.
