Jennifer Lopez & Casper Smart: Gay Rumors and Manipulation, Rep Responds
Since splitting from husband Marc Anthony, 42-year-old Jennifer Lopez has been attached to the hip of 25-year-old dancer Casper Smart. The dancer has been keeping J.Lo company for almost seven months, but recent rumors suggest that the singer might be getting played by her younger lover.
According to RadarOnline.com, Joshua Lee Ayers, a dancer who was Smart's co-worker in 2010's "Step Up 3D," is throwing Casper out of the closet. Ayers is claiming that J.Lo's boy toy is actually gay and just using the star for "her fame and fortune."
Smart's former co-worker had taken to his Twitter account to out Lopez's beau.
"Check out Ur boy...And his low key homo ways," Ayers had wrote about a picture he has posted in March.
The picture shows Smart shirtless with gold short shorts (and possibly a roll or two of quarters in them).
Ayers posted another photo of Smart in May. In the photo Smart is sucking in his cheeks, showing off his cheekbones. Ayers wrote a caption stating, "I know what I know. Not love, a lot of business and public relations."
It seems that Ayers isn't the only one doing the talking.
EntertainmentWise.com reports that another dancer, who remains unnamed, claims that Casper Smart is manipulating Jennifer Lopez.
"He's willing to do whatever Jennifer wants as along as it furthers his own career," the dancer stated.
Another nasty rumor floating around is that Smart slept with the woman who got him the gig as Lopez' backup dancer. Upon meeting Lopez he reportedly dumped the other woman.
Mark Young, a rep for Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart responded to some of the rumors, telling RadarOnline.com that, "Casper is not gay. These comments are born from envy and jealousy."
