Said Haynes:
“I was literally told from the day that I moved to Los Angeles that I could not be gay because I wouldn't work. Then I was with my management team and a team of people that just literally told me I couldn't be this way. They tried to set me up with girls. I was rumored to date Lauren Conrad (The Hills) for six months because they were kind of angling a story. And then I dated every other young person which of course I didn't date.”
Haynes said his beards were all aware of what was going on.
“They knew the whole time…It was like a Tab Hunter situation.”
