Knight (whose first name is Theodore), using a homophobic slur. T.R. came out publicly as gay via PEOPLE a few days after the reported fight, saying: "I'd like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there. I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me."

Speaking about the expletive on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, T.R. said: "It's an awesome word, isn't it? I've never been called that to my face. So I think when that happened, something shifted, and it became bigger than myself.

He added: "I was under no delusions. My friends on the set knew. We talked about it. Publicly it's not my thing to call up PEOPLE magazine and be like, 'Hey, you want to know something about me?' … I could've just let it slide and not said anything, but it became important. It became important to make the statement."
