Circling The Wagons: Radio Silence On Aaron Rodgers’ Gay Controversy From Team, Agent & Girlfriend’s Family

As the gay controversy involving Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers grows, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned that the team surrounding the superstar athlete has adopted a code of silence in the wake of the reports.
Breaking Celebrity News reached out to the Packers’ public relations team seeking comment regarding TheFameDriven.com report that Kevin Lanflisi and Rodgers had a falling-out after Rodgers agreed — then, at the last minute, refused — to join a group of NFL stars preparing to publicly identify themselves as gay this past summer. The report goes on to say that Lanflisi subsequently moved out of Rodgers’ Wisconsin home and headed for California following the severance.
The team did not respond to a comment request and neither did Rodgers’ agent, David Dunn, whose company, Athletes First ,was ranked by Forbes magazine as the second most valuable NFL agency.
Rodgers has been dating Destiny Newton, a relationship that was first reported by Breaking Celebrity News, but while her family has been instructed not to speak out about the situation they also would not comment on the status of her relationship with him.
"I'm not supposed to talk to anybody,” her father Fredrick Newton told Breaking Celebrity News.
“I'm not supposed to say anything and I'm just dad. I don't want to get into trouble."
Her mother, who previously gushed about her daughter’s boyfriend, telling Breaking Celebrity News that the young couple met at church camp, said that she was asked not to talk either.
“I got in trouble last time I spoke about their relationship. I’m just not allowed to say anything this time at all,” Colene Newton said when reached at her home.
