The rag, under threat of legal action, apologized, retracted the story, and settled out of court with the complainant.
There was no fire behind the smoke in the Enquirer's initial libelous story.
Fact: Hoffman's best friend did not give The Enquirer an interview immediately following Hoffman's death claiming that the two were gay lovers, that he'd watched Hoffman do drugs, or anything of the sort. He didn't give the Enquirer an interview at all. The rag was either scammed or they lied. The rag did not check its source or attempt to verify anything that they printed - they've admitted it.
You're a gullible man, MS. That's not news.
Whether or not Hoffman was gay is of no interest to me. If you wanna gossip and believe that he must have been based on what's been proven to be bullshit, that's not really surprising to me.
