The adept creative Lee Daniels has lifted the lid on his dark and difficult past.
Why he wanted to contract the acquired immune deficiency syndrome?
Find out below…
During a speech given at Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film and TV he revealed that his painful childhood and the loss of a number of friends drove him to danger.
It [AIDS] wiped away all of my friends. I had no friends… it was terrifying, because we never knew whether you could drink from glasses or what it was. It was the most terrifying thing ever. I didn’t understand why it was that I wasn’t [dead], because there were far better souls than me that we’re [dying]. I thought that I needed to go. And so I descended into drugs and into sexual bathhouses to die.
He added:
That I don’t have AIDS is a miracle from God. I really don’t understand it, because I should have had HIV. Everybody else did.
His admission comes after a recent study revealed that approximately 36 million people around the world are living with the disease.

Attention seeking p****.
I’ve been saying that Lee Daniels is unbalanced. The entertainment world needs to stop treating this loon like he’s gold. His world isn’t even good.
I dont really understand the logic?
Everyone else has got it so you have to catch a***?
Lee you better be so thankful to God for the life you have
What a messy Queen
Okay girl… stop trying to be fake deep for the TL
S*** he’s being real about it!! So many people are screwing folks without condoms & daily without a care in the world ?…
This queen is doing the most smh
Just gross smh!
Omg! You have got to stop putting things in quotes when you’re paraphrasing people. It’s bad journalism. I know you aren’t technically journalists, but he literally never said “I tried to catch A***”. You do this all the time and it needs to stop.
Have you heard of reading comprehension? He spoke about wondering why he didn’t have a*** and that he went into sexual bathhouses to die. The key words in that sentence are a***, sexual and die. To catch a*** one must be sexual (as it is a sexually transmitted disease) and once caught it means you can die. THAT is how he said he wanted to catch a*** without having to say “I wanted to catch a***.” Dunce.
that is all true, but that doesn’t mean the use of quotation marks is correct. paraphrasing is not a quote. end of story.
YEAH this isn’t a reason a reading comprehension issue. If it’s not a direct quote, it doesn’t belong in quotes. Nice try though. 😉
lol what? You can’t make up a quote because it sounded like he said that… Omg lord help us. Such passion in what you wrote yet, so wrong
But where did he say he tried to catch it? You put “I tried to catch A***” as a quote in the headline but in the extract of what he said it’s not there…?
You really can’t see where he said that in the quote? Where did you go to school?
My point is that the quotation marks are unnecessary as it wasn’t even a quote
Back on topic….. wtf why would anybody say something like that
What he should have said was he descended into drugs and sexual bathhouses FOR PLEASURE. This is so thirsty. If you really wanna die go jump off a building drive a knife into your throat but who says they tried to catch A I D S? He’s so pathetic
The gay community is seriously fuked up mentally.
