Lance Bass on moment NSYNC's Joey Fatone learned he was gay
"Fatone recalls, 'I pass out in one of his guest bedrooms. I wake up at, like, 3:00 in the morning. I'm like, 'Ah, I got to leave.' I go to his bedroom, open up the door. There's nobody in there.'"
"Bass said, 'I was like, 'Surprise!' He's like, 'Oh, please. I don't care.' I knew he wouldn't care, but it was just so nice to hear those words.'"
"'I go, 'Lance, I love you,' Fatone recalled. 'You're my brother. You let me know when it's right for you to tell. I'm not saying nothing to the guys.'"
"Bass expressed, 'I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand... I didn't know: Could that be the end of NSYNC?'"
Lance Bass recounted the moment when Joey Fatone accidentally discovered he was gay. After a night out, Fatone found Bass with his boyfriend in his office. Fatone was initially surprised but reassured Bass that he didn't care about his sexuality. Bass appreciated Fatone's support and asked him to keep the news private until he was ready to come out. Bass later publicly came out in 2006, expressing concerns about the impact on NSYNC's career.
