Erstwhile bachelor Sam Wood and his reality TV fiancé Snezana Markoski were happily showing off their new million dollar family home on social media yesterday.
[If you missed it, you can take a tour of their $1.4 million home here.]
But goodwill towards the recently affianced Wood soured that afternoon though, when he posted a comment to Facebook that was remarkably poorly-judged.
Wood posted a recipe for a smoothie, apparently devised by Markoski, along with the comment: “When Snez isn’t in Melbourne with me, I like to make her favorite smoothie to remind me of her. You can call me gay if you want, but I’ll go with cute,” followed by a winky face emoji.
It’s been edited but can still be viewed with Facebook’s “view edit history” function.
Wood claims not to be the poster of the comment (some one added to it afterwards), and he has apologised for posting it.
And whoever that person is, well, perhaps they should consider stepping AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD. Forever.
You can call me mean if you want, but I’ll go with pragmatic (I’ll also take wise, attractive, and insightful).

In the sense that the comment was made, i.e. Stating that hetero men don't normally show emotion or affection openly, as gay men are often able to do, was this comment really that offensive? Obviously not all hetero and gay men act in any given way but when I hear a hetero man refer to another hetero guy's behaviour as gay, I actually think of that as a compliment to gay men. We all know hetero men, particularly Aussie men, are emotionally repressed!
I'm "gay" and the only thing I'm offended by is spin. He thinks we're going to miss his lack of ownership:"this post was added to" and it "went out" (all by itself eh?) Then, believe the classic "I would never...[blah blah]"
It's not that big a deal Sam, just admit you wrote an inadvertently "iffy" post, and say you're sorry.
Yep, you can in fact schedule posts to go out on their own! I can do it with Hootsuite but there would be other apps/programs that do the same thing. You just type your post as normal and then, instead of submitting it, you set a scheduled time for it to post.
But otherwise, I agree with you. He wrote it himself, no one is buying the "someone else wrote it" rubbish, so just come clean and everyone will move on. He's made it into a bigger deal than it ever had to be.
