Coming Out To Public | Even Juicy Did Not Know

Although Gary seems to be a very outspoken and cheerful personality, he had a tough time coming out to his loved ones about his adversities. 

Even his long-time and very dear friend Shirlene Pearson aka Ms. Juicy, was unknown about his situation until he came out via Rickey Smiley Morning Show.

Juicy seemed very upset with the fact that Gray kept his secret from her. However, when Juicy confronted Da Tea personally, he explained that he didn’t want Pearson to get emotional and stress that he is sick. Pearson expressed her concern and said, 

“ I would have gotten really emotional and I would never want somone I care for go through or anyone to go through all of that.”

Gary has been entertaining the folks for more than 25 years now. After defeating all the complications, Hayes feels ever grateful to be still and as entertaining as ever.

Daughter Got “Three” Gunshots | Family Details & Gay Rumors

Gary witnessed another shocking event in his life when his daughter Aaryn Smiley got shot during a public altercation in 2020. Smiley was among the three people to get injured that day. She got shot thrice, but by god`s grace, she survived the injuries. Aaryn was on her way to get food from Whataburger. According to police personnel, the shooting took place at 8:45 pm on South Freeway. During the show, Gary explained the situation and said, 

"She`s fine. Iam just so angry right now.”

The love life of the talented radio personality seems complicated as information regarding his married life and affairs are pretty confusing. Back in January 2014, Gary posted an alleged family picture with a woman and two children and wrote "Me and my wife and kids," which brought a series of puzzling comments regarding his married life and his affair with the woman in the photo. 

Several gossip and speculations flaunted regarding his possible marital status and partner; however, there is no precise information. Besides that, in one of the videos updated on YouTube, he jokingly said that he was not straight and gay. Instead, he was confused with his sexuality. Later, in October 2015, he disclosed that he was not gay through a YouTube video at Rickey Smiley Morning Show.
