    Ben Cohen is the latest celebrity victim of a leaked sex tape in which Ben can be seen pleasuring himself in a number of screengrabbed pictures.

    The pictures were published by a number of blogs.

    According to The Sun, a source close to the 38-year-old star said,

    “He’s de­v­a­stated. The video was filmed years ago. He’d forgotten all about.

    “Not only is he worried about his reputation, he also has to think of his three girls who’ll one day be old enough to use the net.”

    Ben Cohen is celebrated as one of the UK’s most visible LGBT allies and has been highly praised for his charitable work against bullying, including releasing a number of near-nude calendars to raise funds for his anti-bullying charity, The Standup Foundation.

    According to a spokesman for the star said,

    “The matter is with his lawyers.”

  • Gay Ally Ben Cohen Accused Of “Bullying” After Blasting Uber Driver

    Longtime LGBT Ally and supporter Ben Cohen has been blasted by some on social media as a “bully” after he blasted an Uber driver for being “horrible” and rude.

    The rugby star has been criticised by some fans after he posted a message and photo on his facebook profile of Mohamed Uzair, an Uber driver who he claims “is the most horrible & rudest man”.

    He then questioned why the man was working for the app based taxi firm. Uber works via an app by which users can order cars that are closest to them.

    Ben has remained tight lipped about exactly what went wrong with the driver. The post on Facebook has now been liked by over 358 people and shared 23 times.

    One Facebook member, Neil Rogers, accused Mr. Cohen of making an mistake in posting the message in front of hundreds of thousands of people. He wrote,

    “I don’t think you should be putting this up on your page in front of 361k people. That could be considered bullying.”

    Whilst another, Bobby Long, wrote:

    “Ben, please don’t use your status for this, he won’t have a nice time with any of your fans who recognise him, he maybe rude, but he will become worse after this.”

    Whilst مصعب المقدسي wrote:

    “Ben, that is a shame to use your influence to bully people who are rude to you.”

    The firm’s drivers have received their fair share of criticism in the past. In January a gay couple said they were kicked out of an Uber taxi for kissing and cuddling.

    In May an Uber driver told Neil Shah and his friend “no gays allowed” when they started kissing. The driver has since been suspended pending an “internal investigation” by the US based firm.

    In Oklahoma, USA, the transport bill was re-written by Republican Senator Jason Smalley in April to allow drivers to discriminate against LGBT users. However Uber have made it clear that their policy is not to allow discrimination in any form.

    Breaking this policy will result in the removal from the app platform.

     

  • LGBT ally and anti-bullying activist Ben Cohen to star in The Cube

    Tonight two celebrities get to grips with the mighty Cube: twinkle toed rugby star Ben Cohen gives it his best try, and has the Cube met its match in EastEnders’ bad girl Charlie Brooks?

    LGBT Ally Ben Cohen is to star in tonight’s episode of The Cube on ITV1. Ben’s foundation, the StandUp Foundation fights to make bullying a thing of the past. It was started after his father was savagely killed.

    Speaking to TheGayUK in an interview in 2012, Ben Cohen said, ‘Basically, the road to where I am today, in many different respects is because, I got a phone call on Friday the 13th of all days and my dad had basically been beaten within an inch of his life protecting someone at a nightclub my brother owned. To cut a very long story short, he died a month later of his injuries. Stand Up day is now on November 14th, the day my dad died.

    ‘The day I announced that I was doing a cause, my fan page went up by 10,000 people instantly so the support is there and it’s needed because there is nobody else doing this. Having a cause and being nice to look at is a bonus really. It’s not about supporting me as a sex symbol, it’s about supporting the cause.’

    Ben Cohen is also well loved for his Underwear and Calendar shoots.

    Philip Schofield is presenting the show, which is on from 9PM.

  • BEN COHEN: Shows Off Underwear

    Move over Becks there’s a new Bulge in town as Ben Cohen shows off new underwear range.

    Shirtless, gay icon and Strictly contestant, Ben Cohen is making a stir with his new range of undies – which come in a variety of colours and bulges – sorry just trying to keep our minds on the task of writing this up. Bulge. Sorry, there it goes again…

    So the press release reads:

    The range features Bluebuck’s traditional trio of styles – brief, boxer and trunk – and subtly updates with trim in turquoise and white, to represent the StandUp colours. It also features the high quality fit and feel the brand has come to be known for, all produced in the environmentally responsible manner that lies at the brand’s core.

    Since launching in 2010 Bluebuck has proved it is an underwear brand with a conscience. Using the cleanest of energy sources to manufacture their products in Europe and choosing land rather than air to transport goods and raw materials, the brand is proud to avoid the far-flung supply chains favoured by others.

    Ben’s love of outdoor sports and dedication to his StandUp Foundation makes for a perfect match with Bluebuck’s values of outdoor adventures, men being men and climate friendly production.

    We’re off for a lie down and an early G&T.
