Kim Constable Tells World of Her Executive Success Butt Doubts Linger

The Flamboyant Malcolm Forbes

Let’s tell the ugly truth about Malcolm Forbes, the long time publisher of Forbes magazine.

Forbes was not only bisexual but he was notorious for sexually harassing young men who worked for him.
Remember the story of the Bronfman family doctor who worked for Seagram’s liquors.
Dr. Goldfinger was his nickname.
If a Seagrams worker, especially a young man, had a papercut Dr. Goldfinger’s protocol was always the same.
The young man would have to bend over and drop his pants so that Dr. Goldfinger could give the young man an anal exam.
Of course the young Bronfman sisters were eyewitnesses to this bizarre medical procedure.

Well at Forbes magazine Malcolm Forbes was his own Dr. Goldfinger.
It was well known in New York City that Malcolm Forbes was a bisexual who would sexually harass his young male employees.
Forbes died suddenly in 1990.
Let’s read what the Los Angles Times wrote about Forbes at the time.

“He (Forbes) died of natural causes, said Michael Schalet, the Somerset County medical examiner.

The flamboyant magazine publisher, often seen with actress Elizabeth Taylor at his side, was known for his hot-air balloons, Harley Davidson motorcycles and extravagant parties. Forbes spent a reported $2 million on his 70th birthday party last year.”

In the old days newspapers would describe someone as “flamboyant” to say they were gay.
For example performers like Liberace were described as “flamboyant.”
Everyone knew what that meant.

As for Malcolm Forbes’ friendship with Liz Taylor, in the old days Elizabeth Taylor was called a “beard”.
A cover for his true sexual preferences.
I am sure the Bronfmans would understand what a “beard” is.

Elizabeth Taylor’s had a fondness for gay and bisexual men like Rock Hudson, James Dean and Montgomery Clift.
Taylor herself was the daughter of a bisexual art gallery manager who had lived in London and New York.

After Forbes’ death the gay press immediately outed the flamboyant magazine publisher.

“In March 1990, soon after his death, OutWeek magazine published a story with the cover headline “The Secret Gay Life of Malcolm Forbes”, by Michelangelo Signorile, which alleged Forbes was a gay man.[13] Signorile was critical of the media for helping Forbes publicize many aspects of his life while keeping his homosexuality a secret. The writer asked, “Is our society so overwhelmingly repressive that even individuals as all-powerful as the late Malcolm Forbes feel they absolutely cannot come out of the closet?”[14] Even in death, the media was reluctant to disclose his sexuality; the New York Times would refer only to him as a “famous, deceased millionaire”[13] while reporting on the controversy.”

Malcolm Forbes was so notorious for this behavior that even a young Donald Trump witnessed some of Forbes’ lifestyle.

“No sooner had America’s favorite capitalist been buried on his island in Fiji than he was ”outed” by a New York gay magazine; more recently Donald Trump, in one of those vengeful passages that help make his new ”autobiography” so contemptible, did it again, claiming that Forbes was tossed out of a Plaza Hotel bar because he was there with some underage boys. ”

(In my opinion there is nothing contemptible about Trump outing a randy old billionaire like Forbes who was sexually involved with underage boys. Trump’s long time lawyer Roy Cohn was gay. ) Shadow State

“Malcolm Forbes: The Man Who Had Everything

Forbes’ private life

the writer has bothered to do some digging. The anecdotes are numerous and they leave no doubt at all that Forbes was gay. ”But why would anyone care to expose Malcolm’s sexual orientation?” Winans himself asks, more than a little defensively. He offers two excuses: First, Forbes ”felt compelled from time to time to impose his sexual advances on young, potentially vulnerable employees.” And secondly, ”it seemed…hypocritical in light of the virtuous family-man image Malcolm tried to project.”

One wonders what the Bronfmans had to do to get Kim Constable on the cover of Forbes magazine.

I knew about Malcolm Forbes’ shenanigans over thirty years ago.
