Dwight Howard sat down with Angela Yee on "Way Up with Yee," where he addressed questions about his sexuality amid being sued for sexual assault by a man.

Dwight stated, "People say like, I don’t spend time with my kids or I’m a deadbeat dad or I would do anything to hurt my kids. All the other noise that people say, about everything – what my personal life is – that’s my personal life. Or make public statements about something private of mine, like who’s in my bed or anything like that.”

When it comes to the gay rumors, Dwight added, "Of course they are going to say things like that to keep this negative train going. ‘We gotta find a way to assassinate this man’s character.’ My focus is not those people that’s conspiring against me. My focus is on this podcast that I’m tryna get out."
