Philip Seymour Hoffman Was Not In Gay Relationship With David Bar Katz

The National Enquirer has published a fake interview in which David Bar Katz reveals to have been the late Philip Seymour Hoffman's gay lover.


It is completely bogus.

Playwright-screenwriter and longtime pal of Hoffman Katz made the tragic discovery (along with Hoffman's assistant) of the Oscar winner's body last weekend.

But the Enquirer clearly wanted a more scandalous story, so the outlet has printed "quotes" attributed to Katz that he definitely never said.




"We were homosexual lovers. We had a relationship," Katz is alleged to have confessed to the tabloid.

According to several reports, he never said this.

Katz supposedly told the mag: "I never thought his addiction had reached that level. We were planning to go to the Super Bowl together and have a really nice day."

"The story is completely 100% FALSE," a spokesperson for Hoffman was quoted as saying.

Katz "didn't give any interviews," the rep concluded.
