RJ King

It looks to me like he broke up with his boyfriend, Bladimiar Norman.

RJ and Avie Acosta...

RJ's modeling career is in the toilet. What does he do to support himself while living in NY?

....

And I think he is with Theo Battaglia now? Seems so anyway... There is something about him I just like.

....

Bumping this thread because I can't find a more recent one about him specifically.

For some reason I had missed this article where he says he had been sexually assaulted by a photographer. Was this discussed in another thread?

....

He is cool, i like his "chill vibe"

Yes, I agree, R9. He was also quite funny in that model files series or whatever it was called, and he seems to adore animals of all sorts, which is always a plus!

I can barely find any discussion of what he said anywhere...nothing on fashionspot forums or even ONTD. Is it because he didn't name the photographer who assaulted him? Other male models' accusations have been more widely discussed.

Who?

Not sure what you mean by who, R12! Male model RJ King was one of 50 models interviewed by the Boston Globe earlier this year about sexual harassment and assault in the fashion industry and said he was assaulted when he was 18. The article is linked in R7 and the video where he talks about it briefly in R8.

Were RJ and Derek Blasberg ever a couple? I was never quite sure, but saw that they have been hanging out more now and it reminded me.

R14 I don’t think so. Derek has a long term relationship. Does anyone know why Rj and Theo broke up? And it happened around the holidays 2017. They seemed to be so in love.

Thanks, R15! It's things like the post below that made me wonder.

Yes, their break-up surprised me too. They were a cute couple for sure.

I don’t think Nick will be happy if it’s for real. Ha.

It's very old though, R17, haha. I did not mean to imply it was recent. I think maybe from 2011 or 2012. It's just that they recently hung out...as friends...so I wanted to see if someone knew whether they had been together in the past or always just good friends and their friends were joking.

Dear god, does Derek have a huge cock or something? Gets cute guys left and right. I have a serious crush on his bf nick. Is RJ still vague/ fluid/bi? I mean come on, you annoying little bottom. We all know what’s what.

I think his post about Chechnya made it clear he was gay, R19. At least that was my impression.

R20 eh idk I see guys using only the hashtag gay on Instagram and then I find out they are bi.....they always infer, or outright claim to be gay, until they for whatever reason (normally to shame gay men for *gasp* assuming hey are just gay). Actually seen it a few times with some of the insta hoes I used to follow. Some think gay is an umbrella term.

Possible, R21, but so far he has shown no sign of being interested in women but I guess only time will tell.

Here is the post I meant anyway

R22 all the guys I am talking about are probably exclusively gay if they were to be analysed. But the point is that they don’t see themselves as being such, even when they use the gay label.....it’s all so odd. All love the gay lifestyle and never date women, but he pissy when someone ‘assumes’ they are gay.

Anyway, this is a tangent. Carry on discussing RJ. His career really has stalled hasn’t it?

I was listening to a radio interview he did with his sister a while back and he was talking about thinking about what to do after modelling. Meghan kept interrupting him though...sibling dynamics I guess, haha. Meghan said they both wanted to get into TV hosting type work and he said he gets nervous being on camera but gets a high from it too. He just mainly wants to be his own boss. I am curious what he will do once he is completely done with modeling.

On another note completely, I still want to know who the photographer was who assaulted him, but it doesn't look like he will say. I think this photo was from the day he discussed it publicly, so Meghan is generally supportive, but was just a bit too excited in the interview I mentioned, haha.

Perhaps randomly, it looks like he and Theo broke up shortly before that, but I could be wrong.

R21 I've also seen it, but I believe that RJ has only been with men lately, I wouldn't be surprised if he date a woman.

This is from the lady that was catfished with his photos and was on the TV show Catfish. I never bought this bi/fluid thing, he probably said that to appear cooler or something.

Yeah, maybe it was just a gradual coming out, R26. I remember a make-up artist or hairstylist who seemed to know him well describing him as gay as well.

There is this old photo but I think it's a friend and it looks like she is kissing his chin, haha.

Watched YouTube video of him and he has really sexy voice!

So raspy.

So RJ and Theo seem to be on holiday together...could they be back/getting back together?

I hope not. Theo is straight up ugly idk.

Aww, he's alright. And certainly more handsome than RJ's ex. Maybe they are just there in a group, we shall see...

I looked Theo up and would say he is basically the definition of ugly/hot. He's got a great body and BDF. If he's masculine and deep-voiced, it's a wrap. I'd let him impregnate me.

Actually, upon further investigation, he's not ugly at all.

Yeah, and they were actually pretty cute together!

I haven't seen Theo speak before but he doesn't strike me as particularly masculine. It's just that bad combination of short, square-faced, and Italian that I particularly hate about him. To each their own I suppose.

Heard^ lol

In photos like this one, he looks good to me, but yeah, it's all subjective!

Haha, R37, I took it to mean video and didn't notice anything wrong about it!!

I think RJ should date someone relevant tbh. I see he's following Pete Buttigieg so maybe he can replace Chasten lmao. He's obviously not getting booked anymore which is a shame.

Why has RJ's career tanked?

He's still young, good looking, no weight or hair-loss issues.

It's not that he queened out too much, because Miles McMillan — who looks like a troll in comparison — is getting plenty of work.

Did he suck the wrong dick?

Did the drop in his bookings coincide with his revelation that he was sexually assaulted by a photographer? I am probably reaching with that, but I am still curious as to who he was and if he is someone with current influence.

Miles had the better connections... (Zach)

Some weeks ago Theo and RJ were at the same birthdayparty. And now vacation... How know?! But I think Theo moves to LA?

Thea has been back in New York this past March. Not sure if it’s permanent. His friend Noah commented something about a “bae” in one of his recent photos.

Miles have better connections in the fashion world than Rj. He’s besties with some of the popular photographers/ models.

Theo^^

It's very possible they are just there as a group, as I mentioned, since Theo posted about another guy who was with him at Coachella as well. And I think Simon Huck might be there too.

Anyway, I just hope he is happy. He always comes across as such a sweetheart.

Actually I am not sure it's the same guy from Coachella, but anyway, my point is that even though I was the one who first mentioned it, I am not quite sure yet, haha! Maybe the rest of this holiday will make things clearer!

I don't know why he stopped working as a model, anyone know who he is dating now ?

He's not confirmed to be dating anyone at the moment AFAIK, r47.

I don't think he stopped working, R47, just less and mostly magazines, not shows now. He said a while back he would like to be show host or something like that. And yup, like R48 said, nothing confirmed since he broke up with his last bf Theo.

To correct what I said in R45, I don't think Simon Huck is there after all. I am curious who else is there with RJ, Theo and the third guy. I'd assume there is a fourth at least.

Yes it seems to be a group vacation. All the food in RJs story... At least 4 guys 😁

Is it a couples vacation then?

It's possible, R51! But I need to know who the fourth guy is to decide, haha! Could the fourth guy be the one with RJ, or are they really just a group of friends or are RJ and Theo really back together? Inconclusive so far!

Maybe the fourth guy is closeted ?

Ok, so they're four? Theo and RJ ofc, who are the other two?

Could be...

I think one is "Dave Rocco" based on Theo's previous posts, but the name wasn't included in the story so no guarantees. No idea who the fourth is.

Still no clues about the fourth...

Isn't that Dave Rocco @ r57? Or so it seems according to google.

Sorry for being dense r57. I just got what you meant lmao.

Haha, no problem, R59 :D.

Dave calling Theo brother...no RJ in sight. Maybe he is heading to NY while they are heading to LA? Are we any closer to figuring this out? Nope, haha.

Yes, I wonder who was no. 4

What does the fourth guy look like? Were there pics? Or was he mentioned?

There is only this, R63. I guess this guy may just be walking alone and they were in fact only three...it's a possibility for sure, since completely hiding someone seems a bit bizarre

Yeah but now seeing only his back makes me want to know who he was lol. Isn't a little early for a holiday? Or was there a reason for it?

Haha, I wish I could help you there, R65!

Theo is also walking far behind them. So the third guy could belong to them

Yes, that is why my impression was they were 4

Difficult to say if they are back together. After the breakup Theo archived all pics but weeks later they were back on his IG. And he participated in that valentine wishes organized by RJ.

Yeah, I think we need to wait for more clues. I doubt they will hide it if they are.

They are definitely on good terms and they have many friends in common. I do find it a bit unlikely that they're back together tho.

Yeah, I was just surprised they were on holiday together so may have jumped to conclusions, haha. I am glad they are on good terms though!

I would be glad for them. They were a nice couple.

They were cute for sure

RJ is so handsome

A friend pointed out that Dave Rocco made his profile public...and he had posted this little clip (link to gif not video) of their dinner last night. It really looks like they were just three after all.

Uh RJ's hand 😁

His hand looks like it's on the sofa/chair to me, R77.

They were so open in their relationship, I imagine if they were back together we would have at least two lovey-dovey selfies or something.

Yes, I completely agree, R79! I doubt we would need to guess for long.

So RJ and Theo are confirmed back together :))

r81 Really? That's cool I thought he was dating someone else

Can't say I'm not disappointed. Was hoping RJ would move on to someone hotter. So far, all his boyfriends (I only know of two lol) have been meh.

Yeah, I mean we did wonder if they might be back on earlier in the thread. I hope it works out better for them this time!

Do you guys think they will settle down ?

It's certainly possible, R85! I guess it depends on why they broke up last year.

They are really sweet! I am glad they got back together!

RJ's stories for Theo's birthday are really sweet!

r96 Yes, they are.

First pic is for the l👀k. Second is for the look.

Timing is everything ⌚️

aturday scaries 🦹🏼‍♂️

It seems RJ and Theo broke up again. RJ mentioned "heartbreak" in a story a few days ago and has unfollowed Theo.

Hats off to the heroes 🧢

....

I love RJ but it's sad that some male models still can't be openly gay, I hope that changes.

He seems lovely, R107. And yes, I agree.

On another note...is he dating Charlie Knepper? They have been inseparable for a while now. That would be a gorgeous couple.

R108 Yes, they have been together lately but I don't know if Charlie is into guys.

Charlie is so pretty

Still spending time together

r108 Definitely, they would be a hot couple.

Nice! (Picture 2)

Charlie liked a comment describing them as a "beautiful couple"! I think that probably answers our question.

Are they dating? What's the tea on Charlie?

Rj and Charlie made a cute couple. Charlie is so hot.

seems like he was blacklisted from the modeling industry after he came out, shame... he is incredibly good looking

Charlie 😋😋

Picture three...looking gorgeous together

Rj’s boyfriend is hot.

wakey wakey 🐣

I'm so happy for RJ, but I wonder why he broke up with with Theo.

❤️

Who cares about Theo. The new guy is hot. Rj looks happy.

They must be the most gorgeous gay couple after Chris Fawcett and Nikola Jovanovic.

Cuties

Lovely

Their dancing in today's/yesterday's story is cute! (Attempting to link the video)

They are so cute together.

Beautiful!

Charlie's face is perfection 🤩

Charlie's face is as flawless as RJ's veneers.

Someone is jealous.

Probably the most handsome couple right now.

Poor Theo. RJ's IG posts are clearly intended for an audience of 1.

r143 What do you mean?

Why can't he just be enjoying this new relationship and sharing his happiness with his followers, R143? I personally much prefer what I have seen of him with Charlie...they seem to be having lots of fun, seem well-matched and must love each other's company since they seem to have barely spent time apart in the last few months (obviously only based on their social media).

Theo is ugly af next to Charlie. Definitely an upgrade.

....

Charlie's voice...

Lots of cute stories/posts by RJ for Charlie's birthday!!

Happy 22nd birthday Charlie!

Happy Birthday Charlie !!

🎂 🎉

They’re a good looking couple.

Some old interview of RJ.

Is there a candid shot of RJ where his hair DOESN'T look like shit? He's so handsome, but his hair is always styled to look like a bird nest.

r156 What's wrong with his hair?

Pooka boo

R155 At first I thought why the interview was only 16 seconds; then I realized he's a model.

Charlie and his dad(?)

Yes.

Cute smiles 😀

R164 RJ‘s boyfriend looks hot. On the other hand, RJ‘s looks are deteriorating fast as he looks more and more anorexic.

r165 Really? I've always seen RJ as slim.

R166 RJ used to look like a cute twink. But now his baby fat is complete gone and he looks incredibly hard in the face and the teeth look too big. And his current, emancipated body doesn’t look healthy at all.
