In an interview with press men, Elliot dismissed the allegations as baseless, stating they held no relevance to his life or career.<\/p>\n
He emphasized that he was focused on more significant issues and that responding to such rumors would not impact his work or personal life.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy would I respond to allegations made against me when it did not reduce or increase my life?<\/p>\n
“It is an opinion that\u2019s being conceived. I don\u2019t think it is necessary to come out and say it\u2019s true or not true; as long as I\u2019m impacting people positively, I\u2019m good. So, let me state very clearly that I am straight,” he said.<\/p>\n
Elliot\u2019s response has ignited mixed reactions online, with some supporting his call for privacy, while others continue to question the veracity of the claims.<\/p>\n
