In Heated Interview, Far-Right Activist Reveals He’s Never Had Sex, Denies Gay Rumors While Sparking Outrage Over Women’s Rights Views
In the stark studio lights of Piers Morgan Uncensored, where the glow of cameras casts long shadows on a set designed for confrontation and the faint hum of microphones amplifies every pause and inflection, 27-year-old far-right activist Nick Fuentes sat across from the British host on the evening of December 8, 2025, his posture rigid as Morgan leaned in with the probing intensity that’s made his show a battleground for unfiltered truths. Fuentes, the Illinois native whose white nationalist commentary has drawn millions to his podcasts and dinner tables with controversial figures like Kanye West, had come prepared for a clash on politics and culture, but the conversation veered into personal territory when Morgan pressed on longstanding rumors about his sexuality. “Are you actually attracted to women?” Morgan asked bluntly, his British accent cutting through the tension like a well-honed question mark. Fuentes, his face a mask of calm amid the storm, replied evenly, “I am attracted to women,” before the exchange deepened, leading him to admit he’d never had sex—a revelation that, when paired with his views on women’s roles, ignited a firestorm of reactions from shock to solidarity. For Fuentes, whose public persona blends intellectual debate with incendiary rhetoric, the moment wasn’t vulnerability; it was a defiant stand, a glimpse into the personal convictions that fuel his worldview. Yet, for viewers tuning in from living rooms across America and beyond, the interview unfolded as a raw exploration of identity’s edges—a reminder that in the arena of public discourse, the most revealing questions often strip away the armor, leaving the human heart exposed to the light of scrutiny and the warmth of unexpected understanding.
The two-hour interview, streamed live on YouTube to 1.2 million concurrent viewers and replayed millions of times since, began with Fuentes defending his far-right stances—from Holocaust denial to anti-immigration calls—but quickly pivoted to Morgan’s direct line of inquiry on Fuentes’ personal life. The host, 60, a former tabloid editor whose career has thrived on eliciting uncomfortable confessions, referenced Fuentes’ past misogynistic remarks, including 2023 comments that “a lot of women want to be raped” and claims that women “suck” after turning 30. “You’re a misogynist old dinosaur, aren’t you, Nick?” Morgan pressed, his tone a mix of incredulity and challenge as he looped back to the sexuality rumors that have swirled since Fuentes’ 2017 rise via Turning Point USA events. Fuentes, dressed in a simple black sweater and jeans, met the gaze steadily: “I am attracted to women,” he said, before the conversation turned to his lack of sexual experience. “Have you ever had sex?” Morgan asked, the question hanging in the air like a spotlight. “No, absolutely not,” Fuentes replied, his admission matter-of-fact yet laced with the quiet conviction of someone who’s long embraced celibacy as a personal creed. The response, confirmed in earlier 2025 podcasts where Fuentes cited his Catholic faith and “waiting for marriage,” drew an immediate retort from Morgan: “Wow, says the guy who’s never got laid,” the host’s laugh cutting the tension but underscoring the absurdity in Fuentes’ eyes.
Fuentes’ revelation, while not new to followers familiar with his “incel” self-identification—involuntary celibate, a term he uses to describe his choice amid disdain for modern dating—took on fresh weight in the interview’s charged context. “I’m Catholic, so I’m waiting for marriage,” Fuentes explained earlier in 2025 on his “America First” podcast, but he quickly added it’s “not solely a religious cop-out,” citing women’s “difficult” nature and his “antisocial” tendencies. During the Morgan exchange, Fuentes doubled down, agreeing women shouldn’t vote and should stay home, views that prompted the host to label him a “27-year-old dinosaur.” Fuentes, unfazed, advocated marriage as the “only way to have sex” for his followers, a stance that blends religious conservatism with the isolation of his online world, where his America First movement counts 50,000 adherents drawn to his unfiltered takes on race and gender. The interview, part of Morgan’s “Uncensored” series that has hosted figures from Andrew Tate to Tommy Robinson, peaked with Fuentes denying gay rumors—”You’re not gay?” Morgan asked directly, to which Fuentes replied, “I do not, no, absolutely no”—a deflection that fueled online speculation but highlighted the personal toll of public scrutiny for a young man whose ideology has cost him mainstream platforms since YouTube banned him in 2020 for hate speech.
The conversation’s rawness, a two-hour masterclass in ideological friction, left Morgan visibly exasperated, the host ranting about Fuentes as a “boomer in millennial clothing” for his views on women aging and “getting fat.” Fuentes, laughing off the barbs, maintained his composure, his admission of virginity a surprising vulnerability in a figure often seen as armored in provocation. Born in 1998 in La Grange Park, Illinois, to a conservative Catholic family, Fuentes rose through high school debate clubs to national prominence at the 2017 CPAC, where his anti-immigration speech drew boos from mainstream Republicans. By 2018, he’d founded America First, a group blending paleoconservatism with online edginess, amassing 500,000 podcast downloads monthly by 2025. His celibacy, publicly affirmed in 2025 podcasts, aligns with his advocacy for traditional marriage, a message he delivers to followers as “best for everybody.” Yet, the Morgan interview, viewed 5.2 million times on YouTube by December 12, amplified the contradictions—Fuentes’ attraction to women clashing with his disdain, his youth belying the isolation of a life spent behind screens.
Reactions poured in like a digital deluge, a chorus from supporters and skeptics that underscored the interview’s cultural fault lines. On X, the clip amassed 2.8 million views, replies from Fuentes’ followers: “Proud virgin—waiting for the right one.” Critics, including feminist writer Jessica Valenti, called it “peak incel irony,” her post garnering 150,000 likes. A December 10 YouGov poll showed 68% of Americans viewing Fuentes negatively, up from 62% in 2024, with 72% of women under 35 opposing his women’s rights stance. In Chicago cafes, where Fuentes grew up, barista Sofia Ramirez, 25, a Latina activist, shook her head over lattes: “He’s 27 and thinks like that? Scary for what he wants for us.” Ramirez’s group, 30 young women discussing the interview, saw it as a teachable moment: “His words hurt because they’re from hurt—empathy starts with listening.” Fuentes’ camp, via a December 9 statement, defended the honesty: “Nick lives his values—marriage first, always.”
The interview’s legacy, a mirror to Fuentes’ world, invites reflection on youth’s unfiltered fire. For Valenti in posts, Ramirez over lattes, and Morgan in his studio, it’s a moment of measure—a gentle call for dialogue where admissions open doors to understanding, one candid word at a time.
