Did Kara DioGuardi out Adam Lambert?

'I think he was always openly out,' the judge told the ladies of 'The View'

 

Kara DioGuardi told the ladies of "The View" she knew the truth about "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert's sexual orientation.

According to ABC News, Barbara Walters asked the newest "Idol" judge if she felt Lambert's perceived sexuality had an impact on "Idol" voters.

"Well, first of all, I hope not … because we should be judging on talent and viability in the music industry and they both had that," DioGuardi replied.

"I don't think that Adam was ever in (the closet)," she added. "I think he was always openly out."

Walters reportedly pressed DioGuardi about her comment that Lambert "was always openly out."

"I think he was," DioGuardi answered. "I mean, from what I've seen … I do. I never thought he wasn't."

But Lambert has deflected comments about his sexuality since the competition ended. In an interview with People earlier this week, the raven-haired rocker said inquisitive minds should "calm down" and "keep speculating."

"It's a really, really cool thing … to be able to show people that you can be yourself, and you should be proud of yourself, and you should own who you are and what you're about, and never make apologies for it," Lambert told the mag.
