Former High School Classmate Says Aaron Hernandez’s Alleged Gay Lover Is Lying

The new Netflix doc Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez explores the complicated sexuality of the late football star-turned killer.

In the doc, Hernandez's high school teammate Dennis SanSoucie speaks on their alleged years-long gay relationship.

A Twitter user who went to Bristol Central Hs with Hernandez and SanSoucie has jumped on Twitter and challenged SanSoucie's credibility.

"I’m from Bristol CT AND went to Bristol Central HS and I can tell you Matt Coyne was Aaron Hernandez’s QB not Dennis SanSoucie LOL so this narrative of QB/TE in love doesn’t add up. But I see how powerful the media is and how it controls the minds of the masses," FC Mendez typed.

SanSoucie is far from the first person to suggest Hernandez was secretly gay.

George Leontire, a lawyer on Aaron Hernandez's defense team, spoke on his client's sexuality in a previous documentary.

"Aaron and I talked about his sexuality. This man clearly was gay," Leontire, who is gay, said. "[He] acknowledged it. Acknowledged the immense pain that it caused him. I think that he also came out of a culture that was so negative about gay people that he exhibited some self-hatred."

While Hernandez's his main lawyer Jose Baez didn't specifically question SanSoucie's allegation, he railed against the latest documentary on Instagram:

"I don’t give a damn about what some lame ass documentary has to say about Aaron," he wrote on Instagram after the series premiered. "I knew him, they did not and while he was far from perfect, they are not even close to the truth. People have no idea how documentaries are made, the truth is usually found on the cutting room floor. These producers lied directly to my face, so I don’t expect their money making scheme to be much better."
