Basketball player James Yap has defended his son Bimby from netizens who are speculating about his son’s sexual orientation.
“I’ve been quiet about the issue that Bimby is supposedly gay. Because I know for sure that he is not gay. I don’t believe in gossip,” James told Inquirer columnist Dolly Anne Carvajal.
James said that he saw his son growing up and he knows that he is a real boy.
“I was with Bimby till he turned 7, that’s why I know he’s a real boy. Because even when a kid is still young, it’s already obvious if he’s gay,” he said.

The basketball start also added that he understands why Kris Aquino was always defending their son from netizens.
“I understand Kris. Bimby grew up with her, so of course she reacted to the issue,” he said.
Last Thursday, Aquino has defended her son anew over claims on Bimby’s sexual orientation.
A netizen poked fun on Bimby’s hand gestures during their heart-to-heart conversation last week.
“Pilantik ng mga daliti,” a netizen said.
Aquino could not help herself and replied to a netizen who commented on her interview with Bimby uploaded on Instagram.
“I am not going to criticize you physically but I will call you out on your lack of decency,” Aquino said as a reply to the netizen.
Aquino also said that she had enough over rumors on her sons.

“You know I have had enough of this bullsh*t. If that’s the only thing you can criticize about my son then I have really done a f*cking great job as a mom,” she continued.
“On the other hand, I must say the fact that you choose to pick on the gestures of a 14-year-old boy says so much about your lack of propriety,” she added.
Aquino lamented the persistent bullying towards her son.
“I have shut up for too long but I have had it. This is my feed and you are bullying the wrong boy,” she continued.
“You cannot handle attacking me so you are attacking my son. You choose the wrong mom. I look forward to the day I see you face to face,” she said.
