'I'm not gay': Tyson Beckford responds to Kim K. controversy with muscle-filled photos

Tyson Beckford is responding to Kim Kardashian after her social media users labeled her clap back at his body-shaming comments Wednesday "homophobic."

The model and actor took to Instagram Thursday to show off his muscular build along with a caption that said he supported the LGBTQ community while denying he is gay himself.

"Train 5-6 days a wk,(sic) weights Martial Arts and Firearms and I defend those who can’t defend themselves!" he wrote. "I support LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈, even though I’m not Gay. It’s just the Human thing to do."

On Tuesday, Beckford commented on @amiradyme’s post of Kardashian West with some choice words about the reality star's appearance.

In the picture, the second-oldest in the Kardashian clan was wearing an all-black ensemble, with tight velvet pants and an asymmetrical top, ahead of her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Monday.

“Sorry I don’t care for it,” Beckford commented under the post. The model and actor continued with a second diss, this time focusing on her famous assets: "She is not real, doctor (expletive) up on her right hip." He added a green vomiting emoji.

"The Shade Room" reposted the image of Kardashian West alongside Beckford’s comments to their 13 million followers, adding that her husband Kanye West would not be pleased.

In typical Kardashian fashion, the social media maven and mother of three clapped back Wednesday, saying: "Sis we all know why you don’t care for it." The message was accompanied by the tea, frog and painting nails emoji.

Kardashian West may have silenced Beckford (for now), but her comment got social media talking. Some are calling her response "homophobic" because it seems to imply Beckford is gay.

"I hope y'all get kim kardashian together for that homophobic response to Tyson Beckford," one Twitter user said.

Another commenter tweeted: "Kim Kardashian called Tyson Beckford "sis" and implied that he was gay because he said that her body was fake. They getting way too comfortable...."

"@KimKardashian is trash!! I liked her until she used being gay as a drag on the shade room ig pg. honey you do not get to imply that someone is in the closet just because he didn't like your outfit/body you don't do that girl since you employ an array of gay makeup artist/stylist," another Twitter user added.

Some jumped to Kardashian West's defense, saying the Twitterverse seems to have a problem with anything the star does, including breathing.

One user tweeted: "boy, I swear y’all hate the way Kim Kardashian breathes."

"Kim Kardashian said “sis” to a straight man and now all of a sudden she pushed him out the closet and she’s homophobic ??" another Twitter user argued in her defense.
