Antoine Dodson: From viral gay to straight father

You remember Antoine Dodson, who went viral in 2011 after giving an interview to a news station following the attempted rape of his sister?

“Y’all need to hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your husband because they’re raping everybody out here,” Dodson said, but it was his delivery that made him famous and got him 57 million views:

In May, Dodson denounced his homosexuality, writing on Facebook:

“I have to renounce myself, I’m no longer into homosexuality I want a wife and family, I want to multiply and raise and love my family that I create. I could care less about the fame and fortune, I’ve giving all that up to know the true history of the bible. For I am the True Chosen Hebrew Israelite descendant of Judah. And as True Israel I know that there are certain things we just can’t do. And I totally understand that now. I don’t need a Mercedes Benz, I don’t need a big house in Beverly Hills all I need is the Most High and my family (Israel). I have been awaken by the great and so should you. Let’s be delivered from the wickedness of the world and live the way we should. The Most High bless all and have a beautiful evening. Israel wake up and take full power of who you are. I’m ready are you?”

When he said he wanted a wife and family, he meant right away. Dodson has welcomed his first child and told TMZ that he thinks a gay lifestyle is anti-religious, but if his son is gay, he “wouldn’t be shocked because I lived that life before,” he says. “I would try and get him help,” Dodson continues. “Even if he couldn’t be fixed, it doesn’t matter because I still support him no matter what.”
