Pilot Jones Claims Rob Kardashan And Blac Chyna Outed Him As Gay; Seeks $2 Million In Damages
He claims Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian outed and doxxed him.
Instagram Pilot Jones has been creating trouble for Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna for about three years now. There were allegations of cheating, photos of kissing, Instagram rants and apparent threats and Pilot Jones is right smack-dab in the middle of the drama. Jones, who's real name is Justin C. Jones, filed a lawsuit against Rob and Chyna claiming they exposed him as bisexual and released his personal information after a photo of him and Chyna kissing was released. Chyna has officially responded to the lawsuit with a declaration saying she met Jones in 2015 and they became good friends. She said that they never had a sexual relationship and he was never her boyfriend. In documents obtained by Radar, she said:" At all times during our friendship, J.C. was very open about his sexuality, that he was gay." Who is Pilot Jones?
1. He is a singer and actor
If you google Pilot Jones (which I did because, well, I don't keep up with ALL the Kardashian-related drama), the first thing that comes up is a link to the Frank Ocean song called "Pilot Jones." Nonetheless, Pilot Jones the person is a singer who has worked with the rapper Trina. And, although we can't verify it, there are a number of reports he appeared on Glee.
2. He has famous friends
Jones posts a lot of shirtless photos of himself on his Instagram, but he also features photos with Vivica A. Fox, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof, and Taylor Swift — though there's no word on whether he's actually pals with TayTay or if it was a meet-and-greet situation he paid for, just sayin'.
3. "Pilot Jones"
Not for nothing, I'd like to point out that according to Urban Dictionary, a "Pilot Jones" is a significant other or friend with benefits who is also a drug dealer. Whether or not Justin "Pilot" Jones realizes this or not is unclear.
4. The Rob/Chyna/Pilot issue
In his lawsuit, Pilot Jones claims that when a photo of him making out with Blac Chyna was released, Rob and Chyna blamed him for selling it and then publicly exposed him as gay and released his phone number to the public. Jones denied leaking the photo. However, having his phone number leaked caused him to receive a number of threatening messages. Jones claims that Kardashian and Chyna ruined his life. He is seeking $2 million in damages.
5. Blac Chyna insists he's gay
In the declaration filed by Blac Chyna recently, she said: "I witnessed him kiss another man in front of other people in at least one occasion. I also saw him stick his back side in another man’s face at least one time. I recall that his social media posts at the time did not hide the fact he was gay. Based on everything I knew about J.C., I believed he was openly gay man and that his sexuality was well known. I have always supported gay rights and have never discriminated against any person based on their sexuality. In fact, I am a proud supporter of gay rights.” Chyna said the kissing photo was a plan Jones came up with to make his boyfriend jealous. “As a good friend to J.C., I agreed to his request to take a picture of us kissing each other so he could send the picture to his boyfriend. This kiss was a ‘peck’ on the lips. Neither J.C. nor I meant anything sexual by that kiss, and we continued to be only platonic friends after we took the picture."
6. Pilot claims he dated Blac Chyna
Jones told Us Magazine that he started dating Chyna in late 2015.“We actually met at a party that I was hosting, so we got really close around the end of 2015 for sure. We didn’t have to put a title on anything. We both kind of knew how we felt about each other." When Chyna got serious with Rob Kardashian in eatly 2016, Jones remained friends with her.
7. Pilot claims Chyna bullied him
Jones claims Blac Chyna outed him and bullied him. He told Us Magazine: “She’s not a little bit of a bully, she clearly did bully me — there’s no ‘little bit’ to it. The fact is that she tried to intimidate me via social media, and I don’t think that that is OK, and I don’t think that that’s right. At the end of the day, all of us in this situation are parents and look at the example that we are teaching. These platforms are being used to really harass people. I was outed on social media.”
