Shepard Smith coming out as gay was a surprise

It was in 2013 that the fire had started; the smoke hinted that Smith was dating Giovanni Graziano. It was Gawker who was hell bent in publishing series of articles that he thought would be able to force Shepard to confirm about his sexuality being gay. Initially, everyone including Smith went on telling that the story was 100% false and that it all was a complete fabrication.

Smith did his best and for a long time to stop people knowing that he was gay. He didn’t accept it, and it made people think whether it was Fox network‘s chief Ailes who was not letting him come out. But after years of holding the secret to himself, he came out and revealed that he is a homosexual and came out of the closet to join the groups of others.
