Howard Stern Calls Sam Smith A Ugly Fat, Effeminate One-Hit Wonder—And That's What He Likes About Him
Shock jock Howard Stern hit Sam Smith with some nasty labels on a recent broadcast. "You know what I like about that guy? He's an ugly mutherfucker," said Stern. "He's fat and I love it."
When Robin Quivers suggested Smith might in fact be gay (no, ya think?), Stern had this remark at the ready: "You know what, he looks gay to me. Not that anyone looks gay, but he does seem effeminate."
While staunchly supportive of LGBT equality, the iconic radio personality isn't known for being diplomatic on the air. Or, apparently, factually correct.
"He's really good, but I feel like ["I'm Not the Only One"] will be his only hit song," noted Stern, apparently unaware that "Stay with Me" already topped the Billboard charts, and that Smith's Grammy-nominated debut, In the Lonely Hour, has gone platinum.
The singer may have caught wind of Stern's comments, as he took to Twitter with a couple of cryptic messages:
Can't believe what I've just read. — SAM SMITH (@samsmithworld) January 25, 2015Ignore. — SAM SMITH (@samsmithworld) January 25, 2015More direct was his retweet of a message from actress Bonnie Hunt:
