The Double Life Of Media Mogul Barry Diller Now Finally Exposed

Media mogul and co-founder of the Fox broadcasting Barry Diller opened for the first time on her attraction for men and the complexities of her long -standing relationship with emblematic fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg.

In a sincere extract from his new memory “who knew”, Diller spoke of his sexuality, detailing the interior conflicts with which he fought for years and how they linked with his love for Von Fürstenberg.

Diller is renowned for his influence in the media and entertainment.

However, behind his incredible success, he now revealed that he had spent most of his life hiding a secret: his attraction for men.

“I have never questioned the fundamental authority of my sexuality on my life (I was only afraid of the reaction of others)”, he confessed in “who knew”, extracted by New York Magazine. “And when my romance with Diane started, I never asked that her biological imperative was as strong in her heterosexuality as her opposite.

In memories, Diller told his first experiences with men, starting as a teenager at West Hollywood.

“I had found ways to find men-starting with my Street adolescence on a cruise in West Hollywood, going out in and outside the side doors of the bars along Melrose avenue,” he wrote.

Even if his career has skyrocketed, the fear of being exposed his emotionally insulated.

He shared: “I had so much success at the start of my career that you may have thought of having conquered what I considered the greatest danger of my life in development. I had conquered other phobias, but the fear of the exhibition always had a tyrannical grip on me. ”

Despite the internal conflict, Diller’s love for Von Fürstenberg was undeniable.

The couple, who married in 2001 after decades of romance, connected for the first time in the early 1970s.

“I didn’t only want it, I needed her,” he wrote. “And it struck hard in my self-locking protections.”

Although it was emotionally not prepared for intimacy, their connection prospered.

“I have lived for decades by reading Diane and I: so that we are best friends rather than lovers. We were not only friends. We are not only friends. Clais and simple, it was an explosion of passion that held for years. ”

Diller was open to the duality of his feelings: “And, yes, I also liked guys, but it was not a conflict with my love for Diane.”

For decades, Diller lived by a self-imposed code of silence. Instead of going out openly, he has developed a set of personal rules designed to manage appearances while remaining faithful to himself.

“I would live with silence, but not with hypocrisy,” said one of his rules. Another said: “I would never bring a man as an appointment to a heterosexual event – not that there were a lot of guys that I was serious enough to bring – but I never brought a woman like a” beard “either.”

With hindsight, he calls these limits what they were, noting: “I now recognize him as the opposite of courage.”

Even if he finally realized that “everyone knows it”, he remained little willing to label his sexuality publicly.

“The compartmentalization of these unwanted feelings has become such a success that he has both reigned and agitated in my life,” he shared.

Regarding his high -level relationship with Von Fürstenberg, Barry Diller let the world draw his own conclusions.

“I hid my relationship with Diane to the public at the start because I could not define it for them,” he said.

Von Fürstenberg, a power of fashion that has revolutionized women’s cupboards with its enveloping dress, has become a symbol of female strength and independence. Therefore, as its fame increased, their connection has become more difficult to hide.

However, to Diller, the nature of their link did not need explanations.

“Although I admit that I was always interested in men, it was never in conflict with my love for Diane,” he said.

The couple’s relationship has challenged traditional categorization, proving that love can transcend norms and definitions.

Barry Diller and Diane Von Fürstenberg spent almost 50 years together, although they have never had their own children.

The designer has two children, Prince Alexander, 55, and Tatiana, 54, of his first marriage to Prince Egon von Fürstenberg.

With his memoirs, Diller is not only cleaned on his sexuality, but also lingered with meditation on identity, fear and complicated ways that love can take shape.

However, he maintains that he “never wanted to make declarations”.

However, by telling his truth now, he may have made his most powerful statement to date.
