Tyson Beckford is setting the record straight.

The pioneering supermodel still takes umbrage to the scuttlebutt from a years-old social media spat with Kim Kardashian, where she insinuated he was gay.

And although he previously refuted the reality TV icon’s 2018 off-handed reference questioning his sexuality, Beckford is adding more context that proves she was barking up the wrong tree.

In fact, he said Kardashian knows firsthand about his sexual proclivities since they shared a steamy romantic interlude.

“But [Kim] forgot that we had hung out a few times and we do know each other via Paris Hilton and also my boy Scott Storch, when he was dating Paris,” Beckford revealed during a juicy interview on the Telly Award-winning Instagram Live series, “Let’s Go Live! w/ Sharon Carpenter.”

“We met in Miami years ago when she was having her little issue with one of the boyfriends,” he dished.

“It was weird, it didn’t need to go that far but she took it there,” Beckford continued about the online drama. “But before I could even say anything, the gay community stepped up and was like, ‘Oh no girlfriend. You’re not going to mess with one of our ambassadors who looks out for us and is always a guardian for us.’

During the summer of 2018, a screenshot of comments Beckford made on a friend’s post about Kardashian’s alleged plastic surgery went viral. She, in turn, clapped back at him, writing “Sis, we all know why you don’t care for it.” The message was accompanied by the tea, frog and painting nails emoji.

After the incident, he took to Instagram to show his muscular physique and wrote: “Train 5-6 days a wk,(sic) weights Martial Arts and Firearms and I defend those who can’t defend themselves!” he wrote. “I support LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈, even though I’m not Gay. It’s just the Human thing to do.”

“It was so weird that she called me gay, because I was like ‘Sweetheart, you must have forgot. It ain’t that way,’” Beckford said.

The history-making Ralph Lauren pitchman said while his romantic interlude with the former adult film superstar was short-lived, he did get close enough to be welcomed into the family circle.

“I think we dated for a weekend actually,” the 50-year-old Rochester native recalled. “It was for a weekend and her mom even invited me over to the house because I once did a show called ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. It was when Bruce [Jenner] was Bruce.”

An American spinoff of the popular British reality competition series of the same name, “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” premiered its first season on ABC in 2003 featuring television personalities Robin Leach, Downtown Julie Brown, Melissa Rivers and radio personality John “Stuttering John” Melendez. Beckford, Jenner and Jennifer Lopez’s second husband Chris Judd also appeared on the John Lehr-hosted series.

“They invited me to the house for dinner and stuff like that but some people forget things,” Beckford quipped, adding that he had no beef with her and wished her all the best.

“They’re going through some hard times right now,” he said in reference to Kardashian and her estranged husband Kanye West. “My whole energy is positive.”
