Kara DioGuardi Outs Adam Lambert on The View

Kara Outs Adam on The View — No Big Deal or Inappropriate?

May 29, 2009

In an interview airing today on The View, Kara DioGuardi spoke out about Adam Lambert's sexuality saying: "I don't think that Adam was ever in [the closet]. I think he was always openly out . . . I think he was. I mean, from what I've seen . . . I do. I never thought he wasn't."

Adam has been ambiguous about this for a while, asking people to keep speculating amid rumors he's planning to come out on the next Rolling Stone cover. Kara's statements aren't really surprising, but it could be seen as not her news to share. So tell us — do you think Kara's comments are no big deal or inappropriate?

middiegirl95 - Adam is dragging it out with the media and milking it for all its worth (both press-wise and money-wise probably)...if it's no big deal he should just say "yeah, I'm gay" or "I'm not going to comment on that because it's no one's business and American Idol is a singing competition" ...those to me are respectable answers.

People can have an opinion on what they want. She's not "outing" him...she's saying she doesn't think he was ever "in"....which is her opinion...and most of America's probably. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

Okay, this has gone on long enough. American Idol is a SINGING COMPETITION. So why does Adam Lambert's sexuality matter? It is his business and no one else's. And, where exactly does Kara get off talking about something that isn't her business? Now, I'm not saying that I would know either way, but wouldn't it be funny if she was dead wrong and he sued her for slander? I would laugh. I honestly think that this goes to show how pathetic some of the people in the world are; his sexuality should not matter and should not have been a topic of discussion for this long. I like Adam, and personally I feel bad for him. I don't see why people can't just leave him alone.

Who the hell are Kara and Adam? Gee, and so what if he is gay...who give a flying rat's ass?

i think it's inappropriate as it's not people's problems. adam's a singer, he sings. who he does in his own private time is not our problem.

I have no idea who she is, but she looks frightening in that picture.

I don't know but I do know Kara is irritating and needs to be canned from the show. She had no business being another judge in the first place. I'd like to know what incriminating information she has on the producers because that is the only reason I see them letting her hijack the show like she has. They also used her corny song for the winner of AI. Blech.

It's his business, not hers. That's all I'm gonna say.

I don't see why his sexuality is such a big deal. Why is America so obsessed with knowing? It's silly.

he's sooo gay, you have to assume he knows that we know soooooo what's the big effing deal...maybe gay men should take classes on how to fool people b/c I've seen so many pathetic attempts, it's hilarious imo

I don't know why the media is so fixated on Adam's sexuality. Who cares?

Who with eyes doesn't think he is gay?

The media is hilarious to me. They really want that 'confession' from him even though they have pictures of him kissing other men they won't leave him alone. Everyone who has paid attention knows that he is gay or at least bisexual, but I do understand that it may not be the best thing for Kara to discuss as if it were her secret to tell.

I think it is really tacky that Kara thought it was appropriate to discuss something so personal. It is really nobody's business but Adam's to talk about. I also think people shouldn't even be making such a big deal about his sexuality -- he's fabulous no matter what, so who cares.

Totally inappropriate. It is his decision and his alone to come out when and if he chooses. So what if it was obvious, she should keep her mouth shut.

Anyone can tell that he is gay but that's not the point its not karas place to say so! I agree with renees3 Kara is just wanting the attention. Who cares if he is gay or not he is very talented and will go far!
